It is possible find somewhere/install program like VideoPane (iOS)

Hi all
It is possible find somewhere/install program like VideoPane (iOS)?
I like watch TV Online on Note Pro but want use it in window
Someone know something about this tweak?
Thanks
P.S.: and how stream from Note Pro to AppleTV?
...plz dnt kick me about this stupid questions maybe

I switched from an Apple ecosystem to Android when I bought the note, that included changing from AppleTV to a Chromecast. Using that you can stream to the TV using chromecast supporting apps, and with more apps if you install "Allshare cast".
You can also do full screen-mirroring if you've rooted the tablet and use "Mirror-enable" to allow chromecast mirroring to work.
Android is not as neat in terms of in-built support at the core-OS level for streaming as much as iOS is unfortunately. But most things can be achieved with some tweaking, but I wasn't aware of anything to properly talk to the AppleTV as it pretty much exclusively used AirPlay as its method of communication.
As for VideoPane - you'll get some of that functionality from the multi-window/popup window sidebar thing if you add more apps to it. Not all apps are supported tho. Again, if you're rooted you can circumvent this limitation with a tweak that allows you to add any app to the multiwindow thing.
..and if you go the whole hog and put a customfirmware on like the recent Cyanogen mod, then the sky's the limit - tho there's a wee issue with it at the moment, so maybe hold off until version 11 is released before going down that route.

Thanks buddy for great answer

Great answer.
I'll just add that if one observes the Galaxy Note 4's feature set they'll see something promising; the ability to take any multiwindow supported app that is full screen and reduce it to a windowed application by dragging from the upper right corner of the screen. Hopefully at some point this feature trickles down to the Note Pro and Note 10.1 2014 edition as it would be a great feature to have and would be a positive step towards achieving what Videopane does on iOS.

EMUI 6 features with substatum support

Categories:*Developments,*Featured,*Full XDA,*News,*XDA Feature
Tags:*Android Oreo,*emui 6.0,*Huawei Mate 9
Yesterday’s Google event finally brought us the*Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, the*Pixelbook, and the*Home Mini/Max*but even though the Google fervor is now dying down, there’s still much for Android enthusiasts to look forward to in the coming weeks. The mighty*Huawei Mate 10*will soon make its debut on October 16th at a press event in Munich, Germany, and it will be the first public look we will have on Huawei’s upcoming EMUI 6 based on*Android 8.0*Oreo. Ahead of this event, we have obtained access to a*pre-release firmware build of*Android Oreo/EMUI 6 for the*Huawei Mate 9, and there are quite a few interesting changes to note for this upcoming update.
The Huawei Mate 9 was unveiled in*only November of last year*with*top-tier*hardware specifications, so it’s unsurprising to see this device receive an Android Oreo update. There were hints of early work being done on an Android 8.0 update*even as far back as April*of this year, though the build that was leaked at that time was fairly barebones. Now, the build that we have obtained is fully functional and can actually install right on top of MHA-L29C432 (the international Huawei Mate 9 variant) so we did just that to start digging in to what’s new in the EMUI 6 update.
EMUI 6 based on Android Oreo for the Huawei Mate 9
The Things You Would Expect
For starters, let’s get the uninteresting details out of the way. As you would expect, most of the required Android Oreo features are available in this build. That means picture-in-picture mode support, the*strict background app limitations, notification channels, and even that annoying “app is running in the background” notification that you can*thankfully still hide using an app.
[https://www1--lw-xda--cdn-com]
[https://www1--lw-xda--cdn-com]
We should note that although Huawei implemented notification channels, their notification importance controls is actually a holdover from EMUI 5 and not based on the AOSP version that you may be familiar with. I see this as a boon because it means you don’t need a third-party app to*bring back notification importance controls for apps that don’t target Android Oreo.
EMUI 6 Updates
Here is where things get a little bit more interesting. Overall, I would say there aren’t many changes between EMUI 5 and EMUI 6 on the surface, but there are a few new software additions that should make some people happy.
First up, there is a new “screen resolution” option in display settings. This builds upon EMUI 5’s dynamic screen resolution feature called “smart resolution” (which is also present in EMUI 6). While smart resolution would automatically switch between 720p and 1080p in order to conserve power, this new option allows you to manually change between the two resolutions. This method likely beats using the*ADB*“wm size” command, as that ADB command only adjusts the virtual resolution rather than actually having the display render at a lower resolution.
Next, there is a new button that can be placed on the navigation bar. When the button is enabled, it adds a small arrow to the left side of the navigation bar. Pressing this button will temporarily hide the navigation bar until you swipe up from the bottom. For those of you who like having the stock navigation bar but want to occasionally make use of the full-screen real estate on-demand, this new button beats the ADB command that*permanently hides the navigation bar*or*enables immersive mode. This button isn’t technically new as it is present on the Chinese Huawei Mate 9 firmware, but it’s new to the international variant.

If you aren’t a fan of the software navigation bar, then there is another new navigation option available for you to try. It’s called*navigation dockand what it does is it places a movable floating button that can replace the navigation bar for all back, home, or recent button presses. This is distinct from EMUI 5’s “floating dock” as that feature acted like a pseudo-pie control wherein pressing the button would expand a list of available navigation options. EMUI 6’s navigation dock instead uses gesture controls such as slide up to go home, slide right for recents, and touch to go back.

Lastly, in developer options, there is something strange that we found. The usual*Bluetooth audio codec customization*features are present, as is the ability to switch between various Bluetooth audio codecs—including*aptX*and aptX HD. aptX and aptX HD are proprietary Bluetooth audio codecs that are owned by Qualcomm, so companies that wish to use them must pay licensing fees to Qualcomm.

We’re not sure why Huawei even made it a selectable option as it doesn’t even work here (picking either of these options simply reverts the selection back to SBC), but then again this*is*a pre-release build so it’s possible these options will disappear in the final release. Perhaps with root access and a*Magisk*Module we can enable support for it much like*Google Nexus 6P*owners can.
Under-the-Hood Changes
You might be wondering by this point why we haven’t yet shown a screenshot of the “About Phone” section. That’s because, like every beta/testing build that Huawei releases internally, the software version is changed to mitigate leaks. Fortunately, it’s rather easy to verify the true software build by taking a peek at the build.prop file. In it, we can see that the following:
[ro.build.version.security_patch]: [2017-09-05] [ro.build.version.release]: [8.0.0] [ro.build.version.sdk]: [26]
and from a separate command, we can find the Linux kernel version
Linux version 4.4.23+ ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.9.x 20150123 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Sep 14 04:10:43 CST 2017
So, it’s pretty clear from this information that the Huawei Mate 9 build we have obtained is indeed based on Android 8.0 Oreo (SDK level 26). The*Linux kernel version is 4.4, updated from 4.1 in the Nougat-based EMUI 5 on the Mate 9. Furthermore, the security patch level is September 2017 which means that the Mate 9 is*safe from the Blueborne vulnerability.
Finally, there are a few things we discovered that are especially interesting to Android enthusiasts. First,*Project Treble*support is there. Though the*kernel sources for the Mate 9*have been available for several months, there aren’t any custom AOSP-based ROMs available for the device.*Maybe Project Treble support will change that, maybe not. This is still interesting as it is the*first confirmed device that has Project Treble support even though it did not launch with Android Oreo.
Last but not least, here’s a thing that nobody expected to happen:*Substratum*support in EMUI. Yes,*Substratum themes work on EMUI 6. This is all thanks to the Overlay Manager Service (OMS) commits that Sony made to AOSP that have finally made their way in a fully working state in Android Oreo. It’s thanks to this that Google Nexus and Pixel users are able to*enjoy full custom theme support*using the*Andromeda add-on for Substratum. We tested both the*command line interface*as well as a*dark theme*in certain apps and can confirm it does indeed work.
[https://www1--lw-xda--cdn-com]

Substratum support may not seem as interesting at first glance since Huawei already has its own theme engine, but it should be noted that Substratum will allow you to theme more than just system applications as can be seen in the above screenshot of the Google Messenger application.
That’s all we’ve discovered in this internal, beta build of Android 8.0 Oreo for the Huawei Mate 9. Stay tuned to the XDA Portal as we have more to share about upcoming Huawei and Honor devices. The best way to follow the Portal is by installing the*XDA Labs*application!
The firmware was provided for me to install on my Huawei Mate 9 by*FunkyHuawei.club, a service which lets you install pre-release Huawei firmwares, recover bricked devices, and rebrand/convert China region phones to international variants. The service will support the Mate 10 upon release.*

I mean, you can edit it to make it a little shorter or maybe you can put like, "[SHARE]" to the tags. Even "1 day ago" and other unnecessary things were included in your post.

New to Pixel and Android

First Android device, coming from Apple. What do I need to do/know?

That you've made the right decision.
No really, what exactly do you want to know? You got a highly customizable device now

i Am new to all this tech, not sure what I can/want to do. I have seen a lot of talk about root and bootloader. Not sure if I will ever use root, should I still unlock bootloader? If I unlock bootloader what does it effect? Does it disable any functions that of the device? Looking for any advice or help.

I wouldn't unlock bootloader unless you root. You do miss out on some apps with unlocked bootloader as that causes SafetyNet to fail which some apps require passing. That'd be some banking apps, Android Pay, Netflix (last I heard), Pokemon Go, and others.

I would say at least have the option checked in Developer option.
You don't have to unlock it but it is always good practice to have it checked.
And what exactly do you want to do with your phone? like customization is pretty nice without root currently.
You will need to ask what you want to try to do since there is soo much you can really do on android.

My wife is an iPhone devotee and so I'm her default IT support person and as a result I'm very familiar with iOS and it's severely limited abilities.
The single biggest, and best, difference you'll discover is the ability to fully customize almost anything on the phone. Notifications indicators are alway visible at the top of the screen. You can place an app icon anywhere on the screen you want vs. iOS's infuriating mandatory top-left to bottom-right arrangement (ever have an adorable picture of your kid that you can see cause you can't move icons around?). Real widgets that range from daily schedule to weather to, well, just about anything and they can be placed anywhere on the screen and sized as needed (what iOS calls widgets are a joke). App settings are accessible from within every app so you don't have to, say, exit your calendar, go to settings, find the app settings item, make your change, and then go back to your calendar. Android let's you track battery usage in detail, either within Settings or via 3rd party apps (GSam is great for this). I mean it goes on and on and on with the central theme being: Android invests the user with much more control and personalization and Apple clamps the OS down to the point where 1) they all look the same (boring), and 2) they make it impossible for people to take a peek under the hood (every try to figure out why your battery drain is suddenly worse?).
By buying the Pixel, as opposed to any of the other Android brands, you are buying a device that is unencumbered by endless, basically useless, marketing-driven, whizz-bang features like Samsung's old "gestures" or poorly implemented iris or face-scanning that can fooled with a photo, etc..
Pixel's follow the Apple model (one of the few really good things about iOS) of owning both the hardware design AND the OS so you get regular updates directly from Google. On other devices, there are layers of software riding between you and the OS (so-called "Skins" and other hardware-related drivers) and they (Samsung/LG/HTC/etc.) have to devote resources ($$$) to modify these layers which adds, literally months, to the update cycle.
For example, the Samsung S8 was released in April of the this year (or thereabouts) running Android 7 Nougat, Android 8 was release this August and the S8 may not see that until early NEXT year, if ever. The LG V30 just released this month and is also running Nougat and they have an even worse record of timely updates.
I had a few months of pain when I jumped over about 5 years ago and back then Android wasn't anywhere near as capable as it is now. Android and iOS are converging and I prefer Android's philosophy of openness and customization to Apple's every phone is the same model.
Until you get accustomed to the OS don't spend any time thinking about rooting (in the Apple world it's called "Jailbreaking") or unlocking the bootloader to facilitate accessing under-the-hood aspects of the OS that, as a new Android guy who is not a 'techie', you really don't need to utilize it's full potential. Forget about that for now and have fun learning the new OS.

I think one thing you may wish to do is disable imessage, as if still enabled can cause loss or delay of sms messages, other than that, go ahead and enjoy the customisation of Android :good:

Pixel 3xl vs Huawei P20 Pro

I have recently switched from a P20 Pro to a Pixel 3XL. Have previously owned loads of Nexus' and missed the ease of rooting/flashing/unlocking, and there are some other really irritating things on the P20.
Generally I much prefer the Pixel, but there are a few features that I miss from the P20 (the camera is WAY better on the P20, but it has three of them so that's expected!):
- Network speed indicator - I know there's the Tulsadiver mods, but is there a better way of doing it? Also, does this break Google Pay/banking apps etc?
- Face unlock - I'm pretty sure I used to have this on really old tablets, surprised it's not a std feature. Is there a secure way of doing this?
- Lift to wake - I have enabled "Lift to check phone", but this doesn't seem to do anything?
Also, I remember from my old Nexus 6p there was an issue with charging cables. Is there anything to watch out for with Type c to type c, or will any std one do fast charging?

1. No, Tuldadiver mods or any other mods doesn't break Google Pay
2. You can use Face Unlock using Smart Lock feature under Security
3. Life to Wake brings ambient display on when you lift the phone.. if you already have Always on Display enabled, this doesn't do anything..

No face unlock on P3XL AFAIK

S20 Touchscreen Tapping Delay on Homescreen/Widgets

Hi all,
I just bought an S20 as the sucessor for my shattered Note9, and found out that the touchscreen is reacting completely differrent.
For explanation, I have an app/widget named "counter ux" . Have placed the widgets on the homescreen, and everytime I tap on them, the counter does +1.
With my Note9 (Android 10, some custom rom - forgot which one, rooted with magisk) I can hammer on the screen as fast as possible and it counts as fast as I can tap.
Moved files+settings from the Note9 to my S20, everything seems to be the same but I can't tap that fast any longer. Any ideas on that?
Is that because of Android 11 (on the S20) or One UI 3.0 ( instead of 2.0?)
Anything I can do except Unlocking/Rooting/Customrom (for now I'd like to keep it vanilla)?
