Has anyone gotten the multi-user working correctly? I'm able to add additional users, but I can't switch between them -- the "faces" don't show up on the lockscreen.
I checked around the lockscreen settings, but I couldn't see anything obvious to enable this function. Any ideas?

No kidding? That's interesting.
Don't suppose there's a setting to turn them on in portrait mode, is there?

I go to Settings, scroll down to Slide Aside (Device section) and then click the toggle switch (top right), does that not work for you?
I don't even have that option...
I never really found it all that useful when Google's builtin Multitasking app lets me pick any open app (not just 3). Plus I don't have to manually hide anything.
I DO use the floating apps and Memo often.

Sorry, I read your initial post too quickly. I now understand that you meant you had disabled Slide Aside. So now it is listed with your Disabled apps but the Enable button is greyed out, correct?
I wonder if another app is also disabled that Slide Aside had as a dependency?
Are you rooted? Have you ever run GMD Auto Hide Softkeys?
No i'm not rooted.
D802 International with kit kat 4.4.2
As you'r right the button its greyed out.
And in the menu the option its not there.
same issue here, disabled slide away while phone is on root, flashed to official 4.4.2 and am unable to enable slide away.
I guess the solution is to root my phone and enable it again
But i'v never been rooted at all
No ideas guys?

Lol I have the opposite issue. I disabled mine (although mine is listed in disabled so idk wth is up with that) but slide aside is always showing up in running apps even though it is disabled in settings AND apps.
I went into the settings, accessibility, and turned on the flash notification, and it never worked for me and still isn't. i tried to toggle i on and off but it still doesnt work! anyone know how to make this feature work without any apps? thanks

You have to enable Motions settings also for it to work. Enable at least one.

I've seen some apps that change the basic virtual keys to others. I remenber an app changing the virtual back,home and recent app buttons , to only one camera button, and after exiting the app it's back to normal
How is that possible ?
i want to remove the recent apps button.

I don't think that is possible without root... The only thing one could do is completely hide the navigation bar with immersive mode, and then perhaps draw a custom bar on the bottom of the screen which looks just like it. But I'm interested, can you remember which app exactly had that behaviour?

i've seen many apps doing that, but i remenber only mini-lock ( can't give link because it is on blackmart )
immersive mode is only for >=kitkat , i might have problems with that...
i might have to take a look at android's lockscreen source code

mmhh yeah now that you say that, i think it might be possible on the lockscreen if your apps is registered as a device admin, though I didn't quite find it during my quick search...

Found this one here:
You can not hide it unless you have rooted the device. But of course there is a workaround which might not fit with your requirement but several well known apps in the market at the moment using this strategy to achieve this disable menu bar feature for their apps.
Grant admin privilege.
Set password & lock the device using device admin profile api
Then load what ever the UIs on top of the native lock screen. (Of course this will show background lock screen whenever a transition happens between activities. But if logic is organized well, then it will be smooth & less noticed by the user)
When need to enable back, reset password to "" using resetPassword("", 0) of device policy manager object.

You can set the password and lock the screen using the DevicePolicyManager. Don't know how you would "load your UIs on top of native lock screen" though...

mmhhh and why is immersive not working for you? You have to keep in mind that the user needs the navigation bar to exit your app anytime...

hi. anyone found out how to disable floating pop-ups? i see the option to disable it, but then you'd also disable the vibrate/sound.
is there a method to disable only the floating pop-up?
What are you referring to?

no. when a text comes in, it pops up at the top of the screen. thats the thing i want to get rid off, but cant seem to unless you turn off sound/vibrate as well.
Did you try settings>apps> then select the app that you want to disable floating popup > scroll all the way down to the bottom and select apps that can appear on top and then switch this option off.
I did this for esexplorer which kept showing floating add icons

Is the any way to force landscape viewing of Instagram on this device? IE when I open the app, it always defaults to portrait!

Try smart rotate. This app is able to rotate any app including the home screen.
I suggest to tick the following in settings.
Show notification shade.
Show advanced modes
On power - Activate
Force orientation.
Then pull down the notification shade to reveal the shortcuts and ensure that the lock symbol and the orientation symbol far right are both highlighted.
This should make any app rotate with the screen.

Pretty sure that you can just put your tablet on sideways and then swipe down and you just press the rotate mode to lock...

Nope, that doesn't work.
The app advised above does thou.
This is an excellent app - Just installed it on my Tab S6, running Pie and it has managed to rotate all the apps I've so far thrown at it (Reddit, Xbox, Gamepass, eBay) thanks @ashyx
