Hi there,
My phone has lost multiwindow ability.
I've got the multiwindow app drawer showing, but no ability to multi-window apps.
I've a rooted phone, running stock TW, Nova Prime Launcher.
NOW THEN... I don't know if this happened as a result of the 4.1.2 'stability' update about a week ago, or by installing 'Samsung Mulitwindow Manager Pro' by BJB, 'cos I installed them both about the same time.
Samsung MultiWindow Manager runs a treat on my Note 10.1 which is rooted and with Nova Launcher.
I've uninstalled Sam MW Manager (removing the FlashBar patch as well) and still no joy with being able to get MultiWindow going.
Anyone any thoughts on this?
TIA.

It depends on the type of ROM you are using. Try to install an add-on such as Simplistic V3.5.1. I believe this will solve your problem for now.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm using Stock ROM. Multiwindows should certainly work with stock... There must be some reason it's not.
Has anyone else installed BOTH the Samsung 4.1.2 update from last week AND BJC's Samsung MW Manager and lost multiwindow use?
(As I put in my OP, I still have the Multiwindow drawer showing)

MW is enabled - the multiwindow drawer shows, I can show it and dismiss it (backspace press) but the apps themselves show no multiwindow abilities - they are stuck on full screen.
**** SOLVED ****
Reset and now working ...
but
Thanks for all who pitched in with their thoughts

Personally, I'm running at 320dpi, lots of Wanam tweaks, Apex launcher with hidden status and doc bars, extra toggles, replaced the crappy boot animation, added apps to menus, new keyboard, Volume boost, DPI tweaks, and that was within sight hours of purchasing the phone. Who knows what I'll get into today.
Honestly I will miss nandroids but with so many tweaks it feels like a custom rom. I basically made this phone into a 6" tablet. I think I can be happy with this phone for a while (kept the N2 for 9 months - that's a record for me)

How did u replace the boot animation I can't get that to work
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 2
Lots of Wanam Tweaks, the only xposed module I really need. Samsung Keyboard Short Delay - it shortens the long press delay in the samsung keyboard.and 5x4 stock launcher when I use touchwiz, but that's rarely.
App Settings - changes DPI on per app basis
Boot Manager- android's version of Windows msconfig to disable apps from starting at boot
Disable Clear Defaults Dialog(annoying pop up box when you set an app as a default)
Disable Location Consent(annoying pop up box for agree/disagree when you enable Google location services)
Enable Call Recording
Greenify
Maximize Widgets - by default on lock screen
Notify Clean - can restrict apps from notifications on a per app basis
Tinted Status Bar
Wanam Xposed
XPrivacy - can restrict apps permissions on a per app basis
Xposed Tablet UI - CANT GET IT TO WORK!
How did you get the 5x4 stock launcher. I've been trying and searching

Open file manager with root settings and mount system folder for write. Renamed current boot files with a bak. Label. Pasted the ones from another post in and it works. The files were posted somewhere around here as being from a N2. It's much better than the white crap but not just any old anni

Introduction
Did you upgraded to KitKat and want to hide Navigation Bar and use third party Pie control like LMT?
Well, maybe you find that LMT doesn't show from the bottom of screen after you did all above steps, right? It happen to me too.
This is why I created this Xposed mod. It will disable Navigation Ring, so your third party navigation will again show at the bottom of screen. Enjoy!

Hi @smyrosnik and @6ril1,
I have 20a and no lg keyboard fc issue. Can you provide me logcat?
My LG keyboard version is 4.4.28, if you have older, try software update.
I don't think weather is broken by my mod. It doesn't work at all, no matter if I activate or disable my mod.
I am guessing the mod is modifying build.prop. In this case whether I try to hide navigation button through the mod or by addding qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to that file has the same result. It causes the weather widget to malfunction and sometimes the keyboard fc. The keyboard version is 4.4.22. I have used both Stock 4.4.2 international version for D802 and CloudyStock 1.2. Same problem
I will provide the log as soon as possible.

Not modifying build.prop, but overwrite android config value. Basically output is same. As you guys said, this is common way for most mods to hide navigation, nothing special.
Weird is that weather widget doesn't work on my device. When I add it to home screen or lock screen it ask to download 75MB update. After that update add again doesn't work at all.
Any idea why the mod doesn't seem to do anything? Installed,activated and rebooted, the navigation bar is still there. Would love to get some pie for the stock ROM finally,feels so cramped with the bar

Can you post Xposed log?
Do you have any other mod activated, which have options to tweak navigation bar?
It could be that this other mod revert it back.

Nevermind this was caused by leftover line in build.prop (hwkeys=0), works great now after removing it. Now the only problem is that stock keyboard doesn't show suggestions, otherwise it works well but the boxes where the suggestions should be are empty. That I can live with

This is really weird. I got similar issue when I upgraded LG Keyboard to 4.4.23 version. It break keyboard theme. Actually suggestions were there, but they got same text color like background, so it looks like empty.
Big thanks... I have found it many times... Great work...

Hi, I'm using this mod but I still have the navigation ring.
When I activate it only soft keys disappears.
I use only this mod + gravity box.
You gave me light at the end of the tunnel. I was about to convince myself a huge nav bar is fine, until I saw this. Works great with GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys.
Thanks!

Well, your screenshot show gravity box crash. Gravity box is quite powerfull mod, it tweaks a lot of things. Try to check it's settings if there is anything related to Navigation Ring. Like I wrote before, if using multiple mod which tweaks navigation bar, it could happen that my mod disable it and next mod enable again.
You can simply confirm it by disabling gravity box for the moment and restart.

What I see is a lot of missing files and resources needed for keyboard to run. This looks really strange. You are running original LG stock ROM? Anything disabled or removed?
I don't think I can solve missing keyboard files. Do you have latest 4.4.28 keyboard?

I'm using Sketchbook Pro to draw however, when I tried to use multi window and drag Chrome so I can use for references. However, I can't get it to split the screen, instead it just closes Sketchbook and loads up chrome full screen?.

Most apps do not support multiwindow. If you root and install Xposed framework the you can use multiwindow manager module to set almost every app to work in multiwindow.

It would be very difficult to brick your tablet rooting but it will void your warranty. I am not stock but at the bottom of the multiwindow tab it has an edit button (small dotted triangle). Use that to see if maybe sketchbook can do multiwindow but is not enabled.
It's not multi window enabled. So yeah root, Xposed and multi window manager are your only hope

Hey all, need some advice here. Got a i317m (Telus, Canada, but it's the same as this so I figured I'd ask) and I miss the hidden apps feature that got lost in an update. I need to hide apps from the launcher, so many useless apps or apps I need once in a while but it's useless to in stall every two weeks, and of course, banking apps.
I saw an app hider in the store that requires a rooted phone.
I've been told I can add a custom launcher, but I'm not sure if that gets rid of the current ones.
And then I can put a custom rom on, or an older one.
Here is what I'm asking, which is the easiest, because I tried to put Cyangenmod and it just wouldn't go for some reason. It's out of warranty so I don't really care. ^__^.

Custom launchers like Nova and Apex run as an additional option and do not replace the stock launcher. You can always uninstall it if you don't like it. I just checked my stock TouchWiz launcher on ezKAT and have the ability to hide applications. I haven't run a stock ROM so don't know if that option is hidden there somewhere in the app drawer.

Is there any trick/tweak that enables you to drop down the top bar (wifi, data, gps, etc) while the tablet/phone is still locked?
Ohh.. and one to disable the 'sd card inserted' message at start would also be nice ..
