Adding ALL Apps to Multi-Window - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hi, I see there are a couple tutorials for the Note 2 regarding expanding the choice of apps to Multi-Window. Just wondering if anyone has tried it yet on the S4? I'm certain that this will be part of future ROM's and it looks it's mainly a process of modifying apk's which is above my skill level, unfortunately.
Thanks in advance!

I tried the Galaxy Note 2 method with no luck I am going to try some build prop tweaks tonight and I will report back.

An app called multi window manager on the play store that does that very nicely ... I used to use it on my note 10.1

I also can't wait to root to customize which app icons appear in the shortcut bar in the task bar with headphones plugged in.

One thing that's pretty interesting/entertaining is that since I downloaded this app, my status bar goes away anytime I use the XDA Premium app, but it doesn't do this on any other app, lol!

Every app is auto starting after it is installed

Kind of annoying... is there a setting to stop this? Or I may have got some malware?

I've never heard of this. After installing an app in the Play Store, it just opens by itself?
I'm not exactly sure what you mean either, but I find it an enlightening process to use something like Autostarts every now and then to keep an eye on new apps and widgets to see when they're triggering themselves.

Well, basically it's every app, no matter l install from play store or I side load an apk. It wasn't like this initially, but I cannot figure out what triggered this.

[req] Port Touchless Control?

So Touchless Control has been released on the Google Play store, is there a way to port it?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.audiomonitor
I'm sure it'll find it's way onto other Android devices in the future :good:
Here's a third party app that does the same thing.

Open mic isn't as good by user reviews. And when I used it. +1 for porting touch less control

Yeah it isn't the same. +1 for porting touchless control but im worried about the negative effect it will have on battery life, the moto x has a dedicated language processing core for a reason.

Its at the bottom. You can try to download it from that crappy ass mega site that doesn't work and won't let you download it. Someone needs to put it on a better link.

Ir blaster

Just wondering what other devices you guys are using your note 3 to control. I didn't even know you could use it for things other than a TV. In the xda YouTube video review of the note 3, the reviewer mentioned he was using his note to control the camera he was using to record.

It can control anything that uses IR to receive signals and messages.
How can you use it for other things? Only options in the watch on app are Tvs and top boxes

What would you like it to do?
Of course, I use it with:
My TV's
My Dish Sets
My Projector
My Nikon
And right now I'm in the works of making my garage door work as well.
PD. I recommend using the smart remote app instead of the watchon one.

This small addon is one of the major reasons I will upgrade from note 2. Anyone tried controlling AC ?

Best one I've found so far. Simple and quick.
The Watch On app is the one that came with your phone with a fuscia icon and a tv BUT if your signature is right your phone doesn't have an IR Blaster nor this Samsung app

Just started looking into using the IR and noticed that app you pointed to is on sale this Easter.
I am using this

It works with my TV, BD player, Settop box(Tata sky)

I can't get adw to stick as my default launcher

I can't seem to get this launcher to stick.
I'm not rooted btw. Tia
It's been a while but I think the trick is to remove ALL of the widgets from the touchwiz screens. I fought with the same issue when moving from my Charge to the Note 3.
Edit: I'm still not rooted either.

does that include folders?
Can't say for sure. I deleted everything and started clean - no apps, no widgets, nothing. I think the widgets are all that matter since many of them are always "active".

Has any one else run I to this problem...cuz it's driving me nuts
Nothing?
I will be setting up my wife's Note 2 this weekend with ADW. Will keep notes as to what I had to do and will pass it along. I know it was the same issue with Charge and this beast.

Try long pressing the home button, then select task manager, then select clear defaults and then clear the default launcher. When you press the home screen again it will ask which launcher, select ADW and tap always.

Yep That will do it.

OT: I conversed with you over at the Charge forum. I got my Note3 last Wednesday, I'm in love and my wife's jealous. She got a S4 and is complaining about her battery running down.
On Topic: I'm using Next Launcher and didn't have any problems with it and my touchwiz setup.

TV commercial shows stock Multiwindow

Did I see a Samsung commercial showing the S4 with Multiwindow feature?
That seems strange, isn't that available only after rooting?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
*Facepalm* nope if you look in your toggles you will see that theres one for multiwindow
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Actually I just now remember the difference. If you root and install the X pose framework......doesn't that allow more programs to be able to use the Multiwindow?
