Any way to run 2 aps in split screen without them knowing of eachother? - Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers

Hello guys,
I have an ASUS Z500KL tablet. I run a taxy car and have two taxi apps on the tablet.
The thing is that if one app see's each other, it will force me to close it. It is now allowed to run side by side.
Any way to isolate them and run them in a split screen with just root? The thing is that my tablet does not have yet TWRP.
Thanks!

[Q] Start screen with multi-monitor

I am having a two monitor setup with second monitor extending the primary one. I am facing a weird issue. Whenever i start interacting with stuff opened in my 2nd monitor, the metro start screen opened in the 1st one vanishes and the latest program/metro app opened before (in the 1st one) occupies the 1st monitor again.
Is that expected behavior. Its very confusing and does it mean there is no possibility to view start screen while we keep working on second screen ??
It's the same for me, so probably it's the expected beahavior.
Yes, this is completely intended. Stupid, but intended. You cannot have your metro start screen span two monitors. You cannot have multiple metro apps open on multiple windows either.

Automotive In-dash Tablet

I've been doing the whole in dash tablet thing for a few years now. I've used the nook color, HTC flyer, and other gingerbread based tablets. I bought a Galaxy Tab 2 p3113 and was super stoked about it- but have run into a major obstacle that so far cannot be solved somehow. I've spent months trying to figure this one out with no success.
CM9 or any ICS rom for that matter, at a lcd density of 160 on a 7 inch tablet is uncomfortably small, especially in a car. 240 has always been great in the car on GB roms. But considering the Tab 2 has no hard keys, at 240 the soft keys not showing correctly renders the tablet useless. Market apps like soft keys for root and gesture controls are a joke flying down the highway.
I've read and used some local.prop entries with no success. I'm stuck with either squinting at a screen or jumping through hoops to navigate around it. This seems so easy, yet a Google search brings up next to nothing. All I want is my car tablet to stay in tablet mode above a density higher than 160. Simple right? It was simple to do in ginger bread.
Agreed. I'm in the same boat. I have searched for hours and have come up with nothing.
i never really messed around with cm9 but in aokp(would assume they have some of the same things) u can change the nav bar stuff around have u guys tried any of that?
I'm using CM10 on my OG Galaxy Tab 7, on screen navigation enabled, and LEFT Navigation enabled (240 DPI of course).
Works great.
I bought a Galaxy Tab 2 to do the same setup with, but couldn't get the CM10 Developers to help me get the left navigation going, but it DID work just fine at 240 DPI.
I've been using this setup in my car for a year and a half.
Tablet mode is cute and all, but the bigger navigation in phone mode is better in my opinion. Also, the quick widgets in phone mode are much easier to use while driving in my opinion.
I tried CM10 a week ago or so and had the same problem as CM9 and the buttons messing up. Even when the bar shows to the right, the buttons go from left to right, instead of top and bottom. It is very strange. AOKP did nothing better either.
Since I have the thread open, I've had a few other minor issues that you guys may know something about: I set up Tasker to script wifi/bt/gps/sync on and off with power as well as screen timeout and wake lock on charge. This is to shut down everything with ignition off and wake it all back up with the ignition. For some reason this only works about 80% of the time. It almost seems like a deep sleep or an embeded task killer is destroying the scripts that Tasker is trying to run. There is really no rhyme or reason to it. Tasker just fails sometimes and either I go out to a dead tablet or a tablet that wont stay on.

I'm looking to get this SGT2 7" to put in my car dash. I'm not clear exactly what the issue is not having one yet, can anyone post screenshots of the issue or how the keys look? Or let me know if this is no longer an issue? I have not looked into various custom ROMs yet, just figuring out if this is going to work for my car at this point.
If your nav buttons are whats giving you trouble, get rid of them and use lmt launcher.

[Q] Freezes, Metro Crashing

so a month after upgrading to windows 8 50% of the time when I try to open an app from the start screen it will open, not load, crash and kick me back to the regular desktop and the taskbar will be a solid color and then all of the items will come back. I think all of explorer is crashing and its getting on my nerves.
Also, my computer has started to lock up forcing a forced shutdown, but what's extra weird about this is when I boot back up it boots up faster than normal and everything is still loaded on my computer.
So I've decided the only thing I can do now is to clean refresh so I guess my question is which option of refreshing should I choose? I know the full one creates a windows.old file to recover the stuff I need but I was wondering if it'd be safe to use the keep my files option or if I shouldn't even risk it? Or if anyone knows of a fix (probably not going to happen)?
It sounds like your so-called "forced shutdowns" are actually putting the computer in sleep mode.
Make sure your system is fully up to date. There have been some performance, stability, and reliability updates for Win8 already. You don't need Metro to run Windows Update.
It's fine to try Refresh first, and if that doesn't fix things, go for a Reset. Generally, Refresh would work fine.

I had something like this, and a refresh didn't do it. I had to reset the laptop. I haven't put much on the laptop, so I deleted all files.
I attempted refresh, but after afterwards I couldn't access the internet from within the metro apps. It seemed to start with the most recent auto update, but after the reset I did the updates and everything is fine. What happened was that I was unable to run any metro apps at all. I could get to the desktop, but the metro side would be unavailable until I saw the taskbar flash a solid color. Then I could briefly go to the metro side, for about 10 seconds.

I'm getting this on one of my computers, interestingly it also has hdcp issues, im writing this up as a potential graphics issue, there are reports to back this up but nothing confirmed, if it is todo with graphics its not related to a single driver version, its almost completely random, this might suggest there is some conflict with driver, gpu, and whatever windows has built in for copy protection

thanks for the replies guys. it's definitely a weird problem as its only gotten progressively worse (stopped these last two days, no problems...don't know what happened haha) but I've got all my updated drivers from the sony website minus the BIOS cuz that slowed the hell out of my computer running windows 7 so I'm just avoiding sony drivers as much as possible
so turns out problem not gone. jinxed it, updated some things that weren't updated but something wont update correctly and idk why but I've got a final tomorrow so I'll figure it out another time

Difficulties with this phone.

My main phone for the past year and a half has been a Huawei mediapad x2. Tmobile had the black Friday trade in deal for this phone, so I turned in my very unreliable note 4 and hoped to have a very nice, very affordable 2nd phone, with LTE to boot (mediapad only gets hspa +)
Fast forward a couple days and I have a lot of issues with this phone. With the stock app load out plus Facebook messenger and pie Control, I get an error every time I try to give permission to an app that a screen overlay is detected. Running marshmallow on the mediapad did not give this issue. Both of these apps are mandatory for me, but the error forces me to turn off drawing over apps any time I want to set a new permission. Very inconvenient. Is there any stock tmobile app that might be causing a conflict?
Second, piecontrol seems to think the edge pixels on both sides are dead pixels, as does Swift key, making typing a p a real chore. Are the edges supposed to respond to touch?
Finally, YouTube freeze frames when I change orientation or pop out of and back into the app. Not even the thumbnail, it just freezes up on a frame and won't resume proper playback until I pause the video, leave the app, come back, and resume it.
Any advice on any of these issues?
I've noticed that if I have a chat head open, it says to turn off screen overlay. Once I close out of the chat head, it allows me to give permission. I'm sure the same can be said for any app that is currently laying over the top of another app. Try closing whatever is on top and let me know. For what it's worth, once Nouget is released, you won't have that issue anymore. I'm currently running the beta of 7.0
Closing out the chat head unfortunately did not fix my issue. Is there any other ways to work around this?
Snap despite drawer also causes the overlay issue.
I do not think any of the problems posted are related to the phone.

I'll look into exchanging it then, it struck me as odd that a top tier phone like this struggles with YouTube, which I must have.
I exchanged the phone for an identical device. Every issue persists as before. Of the issues I mentioned, the app overlay detected is grueling and the YouTube issues are highest priority to deal with. Is there any sort of app I can use to collect feedback, or would providing a list of all apps on the phone help?
If it matters at all, I have the newer coral blue variant, I don't know if that could possibly have different software than the ones that launched earlier this year.

[SM-T290] Weird screen unresponsiveness in apps

Hi all,
I bought 2 Tab A 8 (2019) tablets for my kids for Christmas, installed their favourite apps (mostly small games, YouTube kids, ABC Kids etc). They constantly encounter a weird screen unresponsiveness issue, where the screen won't respond to touches, but whatever they are doing continues to play. I.e. YouTube kids will be playing in the background, but they are unable to use the screen to change videos or fast forward. This happens across all apps. Turning the screen off and on using the power button does work, and seems to return the screen to normal.
There aren't any "nefarious" apps on there.
Any idea what it might be, or anything I can share that might help figure it out? It's driving my kids crazy...and subsequently me.
thats weird im trying to install a different os on mine
