Hey all,
Saw this post on Reddit. This would awesome and make the N6/9 experience that much better....If its true of course. Thoughts?
http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus6/comments/2mqcpl/regarding_multiwindow_feature_for_the_nexus_6/
i believe you can use the xposed module multiwindow feature if you root your device.
There's no xposed on lollipop. It doesnt work with art.

I used this module on my N7 back on Kitkat and it didn't work very well. Most of the apps I tried crashed right away. Hope a native solution works better.
Yeah, it's pretty much inevitable that Google would implement this feature in the near future, given the size of their Nexus 6 phablet, in addition to all of their Nexus tablets. They can't let Samsung have all the glory.
Does anyone else think people are laughing at you everytime they type LOLlipop?

I have just noticed there is no smart scroll feature on my phone.
Used to have it on kitkat but lollipop.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Any workaround?

My question is why did they took it off from lollipop?
I don't want to downgrade but i miss smart scrolling.
Because it was just a crappy gimmick for the majority of people

try Tilt Scroll is not the same but is good :good:
I don't understand how it worked for you! I have tried to see how that thing works (I know how it should) in broad daylight under direct sunlight, but I could never make it work! Not only that, Smart Pause, Smart Stay, none of them worked! I was sure that something is wrong with my eyes, maybe people need to have some different kind of eyes, but then I asked at least a dozen of my friend to try to make it work, they all failed, I sighed knowing I have human eyes. Since then I hated any Smart features, and I am so happy that Lollipop doesn't have most of them.

It's about time this get's added by google. It's the one feature I've missed from my samsung devices. Could this be ported to lollipop or is it exclusive to android M? Thanks again for posting this. Wish google would've mentioned it more in their keynote, etc
Glad it worked for ya...

Sweet. Anyone on Chroma use this? Any issues?
Oh, just realized Android M is an entirely new OS. Never mind

This is nice!! I would like to be able to long hold on the window to move it.
Something tells me that multi window didn't get mentioned because I don't Think multiwindow will be ready by the final release. It will most likely be in developer settings. Although nice to have is not as functional as Touchwiz. For instance I can't really watch YouTube and use hangouts. Sure I can but as soon as I responded the video paused as soon as the keyboard popped up. I hope when it is release in prime time even away from development settings would be to minimize windows. Back to youtube, if I were on Facebook and wanted to listen to a YouTube video I can minimize the window barely taking any screen real estate and continue doing what I was doing.

Thanks man! Got it enabled. Pretty cool. Hopefully they get this working properly by the time M releases, but I highly doubt it. With a screen the size of the N6, this should have been done in L, but it is what it is.

Yes it is. I'm glad they are developing it though. As our phones get bigger and bigger, it just makes sense. If they truly want tablets to take the place of laptops, this is the right direction. It's extremely buggy though. I thought scrolling inside each of the 2 apps was smooth, but as soon as you try to switch apps in either screen, it gets really buggy.
I know this is a somewhat old thread but I just attempted to flash this through multirom and seem to be in a boot loop now. Know how I can fix it?

i dont think preview 3 was multieom compatible, i might be wrong though. to flash m without multirom, you need to flash the m bootloader first, but on multirom i dont know..

EDIT: Looks like the official builds are on their server now, and can be found here http://get.aospa.co/official/dragon.
Just wanted to give anyone who's interested a heads up. Looks like the pixel c will be officially supported by PA, they currently have a test build out.
https://plus.google.com/+YamilGhazi/posts/J96qSfq3RBB
After being unable to get GMD gesture control working on the N preview, I decided to give it a try. So far working great, no issues that i've come across so far. I used OpenGapps nano and supersu 2.7.4. If you do give it a try, you should probably post some feedback in that linked post for the dev.
Great !
Thanks for the info !

I'd totally flash this but unlocking the Pixel's Bootloader gives that boot delay doesn't it? it really annoys me lol

Yeah, an unfortunate part of the Pixel. Luckily i'm not powering off my pixel that often to be bothered significantly.

Short Q - why would be supersu needed with PA anyway? Isn't there root integrated in developer options already?

No, it comes unrooted. Also, as a precaution to make sure it doesn't accidently try to force encrypt the tablet, as I think a lot of their builds do.
Awesome, it took about 6 months, but it looks like the ROMs are finally rolling in!

I've had DU on here for a while, which is likely the best Android experience you'll have on Dragon outside of stock.

My biggest reason for not using N right now is GMD gesture controls doesn't work for it, and not sure I want a tablet without gesture control.
Well PA for our Pixel C is very close to stock now... I prefer DU since day 1 - ok, I wish I had some transparency settings like on Temasek but maybe my dreams get real For me not a big deal to switch from DU
Is DU an N ROM?

Pls tell me which custom rom derivates running N yet!
So, when we get to upgrade to Android 7.0/1, can I edit build.prop, change it to think that my phone is a Pixel, and still be able to use Moto Mods and the Moto app (Chop chop, Twist, etc.) and it work fine? Or will it change everything and not even know what a Moto Mod is?
You can't just change the name of the phone in build.prop to magically make it have proprietary features of another phone...

The Nexus devices could just have a build prop edit to let them use Pixel features... This is where his comment is coming from.
As for OP, noone will know until we have nougat... And root access.

So yeah, unless you have root to modify your build.prop, pretty unplausible we'll ever see this come our way.
If we got root access we could probably get assistant working with xposed.

I'd think unlikely unless the Sunshine guys decide to have a go.
I agree, but it doesn't bother me since I figured that before I bought it.
So I'm thinking about getting a S8/S8+ but Xposed plays a important role for me. Is Xposed available if not can we expect it? And how long would we have to wait for it?
I'm waiting for Xposed as well. Had it from the beginning with S7.
However, I'm not waiting for it to be available on the S8 - got the phone regardless.
Will "root" once Xposed is available, otherwise I'm happy with no root for the time being.
Don't waste time waiting. Get the phone now and enjoy it while waiting for Xposed

Its not issue of s8. Its nougat. Xposed not ready for nougat.

I'm sure the S8 is great but honestly can't imagine using a device without Xposed! I really need to have it. I guess I'll stick with my Note 7 till it's ready for nougat. I mean no harm in waiting since it's going to get cheaper anyways.
What is it that requires Xposed that you can't live without?
For me, "Flat Style Bar Indicators" is about thing only thing that I truly miss!

All of that can be done with mods. Xposed isn't necessary if they are things you never change. Flashing/installing mods is also much better on battery life as they don't require xposed running in the background

I've yet to find a solution for most of these, but "tasker" and "autotools" combined can give you global emersive mode or per app emersive mode.
(I've got my web browser running emersive and I've got bixby button mapped to global emersive toggle)
Check out "adhell" to block "some" ads and join the beta program for a non rooted Samsung "substratum"
LMT gives you global pie controls.
The rest is a no go as far as I know.
