I've started getting split screen view to appear way too often, without me intending to call it up.
Then when it appears, I can drag the middle bar to the top or bottom to disable it, but then it reappears after a second again. It's really annoying.
Is anyone else experiencing this "feature?" How to disable it?
Does anyone have ideas? I wonder if it has to do with the Nova launcher?
Basically while on a Skype call, for example, I'd try to swipe up to minimize Skype and select another app, but instead of showing a full-screen app with a small Skype window, it goes to split screen.
If I move the middle bar up or down, it usually closes the second screen but within a second it reopens it again. Or closes the second app, but it opens the next app that's in the background.
I can't find a way to simply disable split screen, as I don't like using it on phones.
Swipe into your recent app drawer, then click on the app icon above the window.

This is definitely a Nova Launcher feature - as it isn't an option using the stock launcher. Just a guess, but I imagine you can disable said feature within the Nova Launcher settings.
Happened to mines once and I'm using stock launcher, I was in an app and opened a link on that app and it turned into split screen, I actually found it rather handy

Same problem...
I had the same issue with Pac-Man Rom on my GT-I9105P.
Seems to occur less often after I activated the "Pinch to enable expanded desktop" option in Settings -> Pac-Man -> Home screen -> General
Don't know why, though. Just played around with some settings to see if it gets better.
This seems to be a common bug of Trebuchet.
You can completely avoid it by installing a different launcher (like Apex Launcher).
I somehow removed some apps from qslides list of available apps to use. Quick memo is not in the list but quick memo is on the phone. I can use it if launched from app drawer. But launching it from quick settings or hitting the qslide button while in full screen it goes to the floating window and disappears. Also the phone app is in the qslide menu. When i try to use it, it the flosting window pops up but disappears. All was working fine before.
Has anyone run into this problem?
Any suggestions?

I guess quick memo was never in the qslide list even though it is a qslide app. its right there in the quick settings.
fixed the other problem with it some things not staying on float window by unchecking don't keep activities box in the developer options.
When I try to use my qslide messaging app, it opens the box coverin almost my entire screen, and I do not have access to the send button. So i have to blindly get to the real messaging app on my phone, open it so the qslide box goes away...HELLPPP
If you can't see the lower right corner of the window to resize it, tap the QSlide icon at the upper-left corner of the title bar.
Messaging error qslide
The messaging box is from top to bottom, there is no x, no send button, the ONLY way to get out of it is by opening the normal messaging app.
Post a screenshot so we can see what it looks like.
Can't post a pic
Does not let me attach it

My Qslide is gone. Nothing happens when I swipe down. Has been gradually getting worse. Worked for awhile if I turned screen off and back on. Restarted phone twice. Nothing. Yes my screen is clean.
Hey, I HATE the default G4 lockscreen. I have tried a couple of the 3rd party ones, (CM unlock etc) but non of them are doing it for me.
Anyone have any suggestions on lock screens for the G4?
I like C Locker from the Play Store on my G3. Requires root.
I too hate the stock LG lockscreen, the animations are SO tacky. Is there any lockscreen replacement that works with 1. Encryption and 2. Smart unlock (Bluetooth paired devices)?
Would love a proper AOSP replacement, or at least removing those horrible animations.
Ever since I debloated, I can only use the stock wallpapers on the lockscreen. Not sure how that happened, haven't bothered to fix it, but it's kinda annoying.
Try Hi Locker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.appplus.hilocker&hl=en
Every I change my lockscreen wallpaper it reverts to the default one after a while. Anyone know a fix for that?
I tried some third party lock screens, but none really do the job. C Locker is closest but even as a system app, it doesn't totally lock down the device. When you open the camera/phone apps from the lock screen, they aren't opened in secure mode, so e.g. the camera app will let you browse the photo gallery, the phone app will let you call non-emergency numbers and open the contacts list, etc. It's also possible to open the recent app list, even though it's supposed to be blocked.
Also, all of the lock apps require first swiping to open the PIN entry keypad. I wish it was just automatically displayed like on the stock lock screen.
Really, my only gripe with the stock locker is that the buttons are so ugly and it keeps reverting to the default wallpaper. (But I love that with C Locker, I can add DashClock widgets... can't believe Google removed such a nice feature! But I don't want to use it with these security issues...)
Also C Locker does have a nice trick to block the home screen by installing itself as the home screen (and then launching either the lock screen or your actual home screen app as appropriate), but it has an issue with ADW Launcher, that causes it to run whatever action you set to the home button, every time it's opened. (I guess it launches the real home screen before you actually let go of the button.)

I have the same issue. When I reboot the lockscreen wallpaper reverts back to the default LG one. Have you discovered a fix?

I was not able to resolve that issue. Sorry.
I'm having another annoying issue ever since I installed XPosed. Sometimes the 1 key on the PIN entry just gets stuck and won't register. Only fix is to open the camera app and close it again, or reboot.
It might have to do with GravityBox lockscreen mods, since some of them broke it completely (just blank screen, no way to unlock); fortunately I could still reboot, and the problems wouldn't happen the first time after booting, so I was able to revert those tweaks. But even with all of the tweaks disabled, the stuck 1 key still happens at random.
So I figured out the stuck key issue. An app called Text Aide uses XPosed to force all text to be selectable by double tapping. That applied even to the lockscreen PIN entry buttons, so double tapping them (when typing repeated digits quickly) triggered the selection behavior, and then the button wouldn't respond. Removed that app, problem solved. Unfortunately I couldn't seem to prevent it applying to the lockscreen using the app's blacklist function.

Removing the stock gallery app means you can't change the lockscreen wallpaper.
(I know its been a year but just incase anyone is reading)

With the stock Gallery app I can change the lockscreen wallpaper, but after reboot it goes back to the default image.

Did you disable the default LG Gallery app? I heard that this causes the issue you described.
When I start the tablet the Icons on the home screen are not shown and the app drawer is only covering half the screen.
As soon as I open an app things return to normal, the app drawer is full screen and my apps appear on the home screen.
I reset NL and experienced the same problem.
See enclosed screen shot of app drawer.
Any suggestions are welcome!!

Well, nobody seems to have this problem, tried to unistall it and reinstall it.
Finally removed it and guess what?? Stock Touchwiz is fine and running great.
I was fed up with nova launchers attitude towards the lack of sorting apps in the app drawer anyhow.
You don't happen to have the apps on sdcard do you?

No, there are no apps installed on my SD card.
So I've never used OneUI even though I had a ZF3. Now with the new Taskbar I'm *trying* to live life without Nova Launcher, because of the Taskbar on the ZF4.
One thing that I didn't realize immediately, is that you can have more apps in your dock on the inner screen than the outer screen, even with mirroring on. The outer screen will show the first 5 apps, and then you can have 3 more on the inner screen that only show when you open the device. The benefit of doing this is of course that those 3 extra apps will show in the taskbar.
Just thought those who are new to the Taskbar might not realize this...
I faced the same dilemma. Love Nova launcher but giving a try to One UI. Task bar interfere when playing clash of clans specially when dropping troops near bottom left corner. Can figure it how to deal with it without deactivating it.
Settings, display, touchbar, then set the show and hide with touch and hold. Then long touch will make it go away

Install goodlock from the samsung store and then the navstar.
You can enable "show task stack" to show the taskbar even while using Nova. It's not exactly the same thing but pretty close.
Set the recents button to split screen to get app search functionality.
Btw I use microsoft launcher which I find as good and sometimes better than Nova

Awesome find! Thanks!!!
BTW I had to restart my phone to get this trick to work (after I enabled Navstar and the "show task stack" option, it didn't initially show up).

Correct, you lose the "android" gestures. One-Handed Operation+ still works though to swipe-back from the right edge, as an example.
