Small apps - Sony Xperia ZL

I read about small apps on Sony's website. How are these enabled on the ZL?

I assume you are looking for something like this, right?
I'm just really not comprehending your question.

Well, I read on the Sony website about these apps called Small Apps. But I could not find any more details about what these actually are, or how they work. And hence my question.
There are a number of these Small Apps on the Play Store ( just search for Small Apps) . I downloaded a couple of them on my wife's ZL , but can't find them in the app drawer or how to activate them.

Press the button to open your recently opened applications. On the bottom of your screen is the smallapp section.

New ICS web browser?

Was there a new web browser released recently ? With the bookmark tab built into it easier to access.
Or do you recommend a better browser?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Do you not like the current browser? This is the first time I have selected the stock browser over Opera. It is simply very good in my humble opinion.
Do you not like the long press on the back button to pull up the bookmarks?

Try ICS browser +, from the market. Slide your finger from the side of the screen to access all the quick shortcuts

Hold your finger on the post, a pop up should appear showing a number of options.

Indeed. Thanks for that.
(It's a little buggy though. First there is no reaction from Tapatalk on having "thanked", and the status doesn't update. Trying again produce a cryptic error message. I had to go check on a PC to see that the "thanks" was actually applied.)

Multi-window hack (use any app)

Just posting those 2 files needed from "Xposed" threads
1. install xposed 2.1.4 apk
2. install xposed multi window apk
3. click install inside xposed app, reboot
4. check multi window module inside exposed app and reboot again
Wow its great.
Thanks for posting.
Now I can use xda and fb same time lol

Is this for rooted only? I tried clicking install in expose app and I get an error saying the exposed app is not installed.

Sorry, i am probably missing something very obvious here, but can someone tell me how to work this? I installed the mod, but how do you actually split apps?
P. S. Nevermind, figured it out!

Works on stock with root. Now I can actually use that feature. Thanks to the DEVs and for posting.
Just a heads up, this seems to break the s health app. When I installed this mod, s health would crash whenever I tried to start it

How did you get the apps to stick? When you uncheck the module and reboot, it returns the list to the way it was originally.

You should now be able to add all apps to the multi Window. Try to add xda to it. If it works then your all good

[Q] match 3 vs?

Sorry,I know this is probably a dumb question.
I have seen this game in the manage apps screen and know that it is just boat ware.
But I was thinking I would give it a try since I like those kinds of games but can not see it in my regular app drawer.
Am I missing something?
I have looked everywhere I can think and can't seem to find it.

That is because it's a group play game. You have to go into group play and then you'll see the games.

I didn't get 4.2.2 but I did get the "side bar" thing. It seemed kinda cool at 1st, but it's gotten rather annoying. I get the dual Window option but don't see the practicality for my use. I'd love input if anyone has any.

But what it *still* doesn't have (or, at least, I haven't found it yet) is the ability to go into Navigation, hit the "map" button, and watch the arrow follow your route, without needing to punch in a destination (a "follow" mode, for lack of a better term). I actually used that on occasion, and its disappearance in Maps 7 is very disappointing.

Standalone navigation apps usually include a tracking mode where you can monitor a live trace of your gps' (walked, driven or bicycled) path along the map and annotate, save and share that trace.
I'm not sure how much was included in GNav, but it has been reduced to a GMaps subset and the controls need to be relearned. Map tracing via gps seems gone for now.

Latest map updates has it, although;
It no longer had a separate Navigation Icon, Nav is part of maps with a turning arrow icon to activate

designed for tablets google play

Anyone know a way to find designed for tablet apps in the play store. I seem to remember a drop down box that you could separate tablet apps from all. But can't seem to find anything now
I have posted in a couple threads about this and there are at least a few people on here wondering how to get the tablet apps on the Nexus 7. There is no way to do what you are saying though - the problem is that Google Play doesn't see the Nexus 7 as a tablet but just a phone. <--- that's IMO.
i think this is the app you want https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tablifiedapps.tablifiedmarket
If you open the app store and click on apps, then swipe to the left where it says top paid, top free ...etc etc. Then you will see the drop down menu that says all apps and then designed for tablets

What play store version are you running? Mines 4.3.11
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
That's the version I have as well. It's not cos I have a nexus 4 on the same login is it ?
I wouldn't think so, the app should detect if it's a tablet or phone. That's weird yours doesn't.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It is odd , i thought id seen it before hence starting the thread. But like you cant understand why its stopped appearing on the store now. Might see if i can raise a bug report with google about it

Dude, is there something like that as well??? I haven't sensed that anything since being on Android. I think that it provides a list of compatible apps only on the top. Well if you just get to know the trick then just share your experience here as well.
