Split screen and dual apps - Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Questions & Answers

This is my first android 9 device, coming off of the redmi note 4 and MIUI, feels like these two settings are missing. Long pressing the app in the task switcher doesn't offer split screen and dual apps as a feature is nowhere to be found. What am I missing. Did black shark really disable these? Using the global version of the phone

Global doesn't have it. Chinese version does. As well as screen recording and a few other features.

Global version doesn't have split screen unfortunately. Screen recorder has been added though in a new update. Also global version doesn't have the nice black and green theme like the Chinese version . Go to black shark Facebook page and request these features (themes, split screen etc) and hopefully they will add these in the next update

Well, you see, these settings were straight up missing from the phone. There was no way to enable it. But since then there was a system update that added it, and screen recorder. Dual apps are still missing on a system level, but I know there are apps for that. Saying "just google it" isnt exactly helpful.

Go to the black shark Facebook page and write on their wall, specifically mention that split screen feature is missing, even though it's available on the Chinese version and on most other phones. They will listen and pass this onto the devs, also the "Google it" suggestion was a stupid answer from that person, he/she doesn't even have this phone and is putting down pointless answers smh

Well, I didnt expect this reaction. I was trying to help and maybe i misunderstood the question. If the function described below you're after then fine, otherwise i'm sorry. I do have the Black Shark 2 bought in Europe at eu.blackshark.com. Is that the global version or is there another model?
How to Enable Split Screen on Android Pie?
Open the Apps you want to see in the split screen.
Now Swipe up from bottom (pill) button. ...
Tap on the desired app icon for split screen.
Tap on the app icon to get the menu.
Select Split Screen.
Tap on the bottom window app.
Now you will launch two apps on the split screen.

No problem, all good then.

My mind is blown! Thanks a lot!
Edit: Aw I thought I could play 2 games at once but the non active app will actually freeze. So it's only useful for browser and messenger apps. Still awesome though

Yellow Honeycomb transition?

To begin, I'm new to Honeycomb and he Asus Transformer. (Not new to android however.)
Every once in a while the "tron-like" screen transition will turn yellow on one of my screens. Most often it happens to the one just to the right of the center screen. It comes and goes at random and a reboot always turns it back to blue. To better explain I attached a photo below.
So what's happening here? Does it indicate something I'm not aware of? If it's something widely known and normal I'd feel foolish. I also tried a search on this forum and google but found nothing about it.
when you add an app or widget to the screen the screen you put that app or widget on turns that colour to show that it is selected but there is a bug in the code that does not change it back sometimes. to fix it just force quit the browser or reboot
Also im noting that you are using a third party screenshot app if you go into settings and hit screen then check the screenshot button it will allow you to take screenshots by holding the multitasking key also if you have the dock the button where F8 should be (the rectangle and camera) that will also take a screenshot
Thanks for the info. It's odd though, it just does it randomly, never when I add an app or widget.
Also thanks for the tip about the screenshot being native. I thought I saw that option somewhere.

Amazon Soft Key Bar Replacement + Recent Apps

Warning dont do this if you dont know what your doing or how to fix it if something goes wrong, and dont blame me for any Problems that happen to your kindle trying to use this method.
I tested and used this only on the 8.9 Kindle Fire HD and dont know what it will do on a 7, but since the forums are lacking forums for 8.9 (Where is the 8.9 Love?) I guess this is the next best place as it may work for the 7 also but my settings I recommend are for the 8.9 and probably not great for the 7.
I was looking for a way to get rid of the soft key bar that takes up screen space and is just another thing that I disslike about the stock Amazon Interface. I have not found a perfect replacement but I have found one that is pretty decent it is the LMT Launcher(required root) Other then a few visual glitches, like a gap on the right during the notification bar down, and a bar on the right when using key board.
Directions:
1.Download apk from post below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
2.Install apk in ES File explorer or whatever file program you use.
3. Download and install MoreRecent, if you want recent apps (since Kindle Fire HD is sorely lacking this)
morerecent Play store download link..
4. Run LMT app, Tap start/stop TouchService once, and set Autostart Touchservice enable
5. Setup Pie Control near the bottom of the Settings
Recommended settings by me:
Activation area position left and right
Activation area Thickness 5
Activation area Length 600
Long press time 1000
Animation time 0
Show status infos Disabled
6. Setup Pie Items
Recommended settings by me:
Level 1 for the pie Give you acress to search menu and recent apps using morerecent app, plus a way to kill all apps and go to home. This leaves all 4 of the long press items available for common used apps or anything you want!!
Pie item 1 App select MoreRecent
Pie Item 2 KillAllApps (will close active and go to Home screen) (or replace with your most used app)
pie Item 3 Menu
pie item 4 Search
Level 2 for the Pie Make so swipe downward from left or right will go back, and swipe upward will go back home.
Pie item 1 Home
Pie Item 2 Back
7. Test that it works well and does everything you like and i recommend to restart to make sure it starts up. Testing your most used apps is a good idea to make sure that you can just use the LMT and dont need the amazon Soft Key Bar
8. If everything is working great and their isnt any time that you wish need the amazon bar Load Titanium backup and back up Soft Key Bar then uninstall it, now restart and it should be gone once LMT loads you should have a more clean and easy to use replacement for the the amazon key bar! With alot more settings you can play with!
Let me know how this works for you!!
Yes, I am using LMT on my KFHD 7. I can confirm this works. Also, I forgot who made this, but I DID NOT, if you just add a line in build.prop in the system folder that says "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" and reboot, you kindle will get rid of the Amazon softkey bar.

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 is already in the build.prop.... can't you just change the 0 to 1?
That worked in my case. I think I'll give this a trý since button savior annoys me for some reason.

I dont know for sure but I belive the app switcher is part of some system files, and I guess that amazon butchered those files..... Using Nova and running recent apps it will change the wall paper (very annoying) So I was forced to try to find another way to change and so far best option i can find is MoreRecent (GB style with more icons) But its kinda ugly with very large icons but at lest it works decently. Would be great if someone could get the stock ICS recent apps to work! (altho I would rather the devs work on a fully working version of cm 10.1).

miztah1999z,
This is slightly off, VERY Close!
What you want to do, is use ES File Explorer or Root Explorer with Superuser Permissions:
Step 1: Using ES File Explorer or Root Explorer navigate to /system/ find build.prop - click on it and choose Text Editor.
Step 2: Scroll Down and find qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 it is about one half the way down the list below ro.sf.lcd.density=240 - Change the 0 to a 1. DO NOT add a second entry! When done the line should look like this:
Code:
ro.sf.lcd.density=240
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
ro.opengles.version=131072
Step 3: Reboot the Kindle
This is a well known edit, this tells Android to NOT display the Qemu Soft-key bar. We edit the soft-key bar all the time, changing the icons and the look of the bar. It is quite easy, you would use ADB to Pull /system/framework-res.apk then use apktools to decompile the apk. Once you decompile the APK you will find inside that one APK is all the Nav Bar icons, you can use a solid Graphics editor like Gimp to edit the icons and a solid XML Editor like IntellaJ IDEA to edit the icon functions. If you do not have an solid understanding of XML DO NOT attempt this edit, instead ask us to create a custom bar for your Kindle. If we get enough requests we will add the custom bars to our software.
We may be adding a few optional nav bars in our software next month. At the moment we are adding the Sony Xloud and Bravia options to the Settings menu so you are able to properly change the Sony Xloud and Bravia settings. Once we are done with the Sony project we will ask all of what YOU would like to have as an option. If you have any ideas please post them.
Put me down for a custom bar.

Dude... I'm all for it too if it had an autohide feature that truly did what we wanted. But after using LMT now for a while, I'm getting used to (and quite like ) having it appear wherever I want (like from the side).

Honestly, I have no idea what could be wrong with your LMT. :banghead:
I haven't had a single issue with it. Sorry man. I really hope you fix it , or find something that works better for you. :thumbup:

Not sure Mine hasn't jammed yet. Possibly bad download or maybe try to clear data for LMT?
Finally got it to hang around. Very choppy (memory issue?). All I could manage to do was make a balloon fly & dandelion seeds float. Not near stoned enough to be impressed. Guess I'll have to find instructions.
Oh, forgot - something I did made a little fighter jet fly across the screen. That was kinda cool.

... You are after the launcher. Ah.....
Okay, I found it, LMT. Now why did I think it was part of MX launcher? Any way to keep it from disappearing the moment you take your stylus/finger/tentacle off it? If I wanted to play peek-a-boo, I got a friend with a 9 month old who's a champ at that.

Secondly, disabling the soft keys in this manner seems to effect the functionality of some apps, for example you loose the access to the settings menu in gplay, meaning you can't access the my apps menu. Wich Is something I like to use.
However. Moving the soft keys app out of system/app has its own negative effect of causing a gap when you pull down the notications and the bottom of the screen. Right now my keyboard is also floating the same distance, its as if its leaving the gap for the softkeys
Any ideas how to fix this while keeping access to the settings menu of gplay?

Which gplay exactly, and what where you doing?
I have made a few adjustments to how I have my Pie setup so level 1 pie has menu button(settings), Killallapps, Morerecent, and search, and home and back on the second pie level, so far my favorite setup as it leaves all the pies long press free to put in apps I use often. but the 2 buttons I use most home and back, are still a quick swipe away to be used. About the visual glitches in the keyboard and notifications That is above my ability, and so far its only visual so it doesn't bother me much.
I use button savior, which has a built-in app switch feature. Only 6 most recent apps are listed but is enough for me.

I have mine set up with qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 and I have no problems with any apps. Perhaps it's because I also have set my dpi to 180. Lemme change some things and see if it affects gplay. I'll get back to this thread in a few.
So, the picture without the options is with the dpi set at 240. The next picture is with the settings @ 180 dpi. Both are with qemu.hw.mainkeys=1.
Hope this helps. If you need help changing your dpi, let me know.

[Q] After Lollipop Leaked update Quick Settings Panel / Option missing totally

Hi All,
I updated leaked lollipop 5.0 version my Note 3, 9005 exactly like guidelines told here (this forum is heaven on earth, thanks), everything seems to went well, except a "little" issues what i found: I don´t have screen pinning option and multiple users option (found that i´m not the only one), but the biggest issue which i found that - what the heck - I dont have quick settings panel at all and didn´t find any thread considering this kind of issue .
And yes, I do know how to use a phone Believe me, it just isn´t there, I thought also myself that this girl has lost her brains when i try to swipe and do all the magic tricks hoping to find the mystic panel. But no.
Please could Somebody help me on this one. :good:
Thanks A lot!
Satu
That's extremely weird! You mean the the five icons which you get by pulling down with one finger on status bar right? So what are you getting when you pull down, nothing?
Did you make a full wipe before flashing the ROM?
Well, nothing. It looks exactly as it was previous version 4.4x.
Except those "S finder" and "quick connection" buttons, see picture. What i have seen, the panel not suppose to look like this, see picture?
Is this weird or maybe it´s me?
And these were the guidelines what I´ve followed when i updated my phone. Step by step.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/guide-t2983873
I´m not blaming the guides, just trying to give something what could help you to figure this out.
Thanks,

And sorry, I have quick settings but it's not looking as it should, is this right?
Really, nobody?
OIs there a change that someone could help me?
Should I do this again, and what is the best way?
Please
Satu
If that screenshot is how you are having the quick settings panel then its normal and that's how it looks on LP.
Okei, then I'm just stupid. I'm sorry. I thought it is grey and something wonderful and amazing new feature, it looks exactly same as before (kitkat).
I'm sorry.
Satu
I thought the same
There was supposed to be a special tab when you use two fingers to swipe from the top screen and have the ability to turn on flashlight and switch users. I don't have it either. How do you switch users? Go in guest mode?
Yes, exactly same here.
Although I don't have a guest mode at all and no silence mode (icon) anywhere so I think this failed.

Disable Edge on S7 Edge

*** MOD EDIT: thread closed, please go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/hate-edge-screen-how-disable-t3442697 ***
Greeitings,
I would love to disable the edge on my S7 edge (at least one of them) because I am always accidentally tapping on them while writing which occurs to typos, mistakes, wrong presses and whatever.
Anyone knows a way how to do that?

When it comes to typos you can easily reduce the width of the samsung keyboard in settings. Other then that you either use a case to avoid unwanted touch input or you could try to fiddle around with some third party sidebar launchers and set action to nothing but let them block the area at the same time. Just an idea. Imho just get a nice case. Even though the phone is less stunning it lies much better in your hand.

Go to settings--> Edge Screen--> turn off appropriate sliders.
I replaced my edge stuff with a combination of Swapps and PopUp Widget. Easily configure where your swipe spot is... and replace the edge panels with ones I created myself. Not everyone's bag, but it works for me.

I guess he means to turn off touch input on the edges not the edge panel itself. But could
you give more detailed info about your combo of swaps and popup widget. Which apps do you use? Could you provide a screenshot? Thx. I use glovebox as a sidebar app launcher.

I really hate the edge screen for functionality. The phone needs a case to use in your hands. It is a beautiful phone, but if it wasn't for the bigger screen and larger battery, I would have gladly traded for the standard S7. I'm not holding my breath of disabling or reducing the touchscreen sensitivity on the sides of the phone, but I'll be interested if something does come out like this.

Power + volume down

The option is there, you just aren't searching correctly. The magnifying glass in the top right corner is what you're looking for. Makes it much easier to find certain settings, gesture options in this case.

volume + power button does not work. And a magnifying glas doesn't work either. look at the pictures i send, all those options are not there. Even though it says 7.1.1 Mifavor 4.2.
And if i am still missing something send a vid or a picture that will explain how to do that, cause i can't simply find it.

Have you considered it might be because you need to spell 'gestures' in the native language?
Try: Settings > features > gesture & motions.
If you still can't find it... Then you're unfortunately out of luck

Okay i found out, was a bit embarrassing to be honest, and it was part because it was in my native language (dutch) instead of english.
But still thank you for helping me, even though i made a stupid mistake.
Have a nice day

Hello,
My A2017G so the european version has some strange problems, i downloaded the first thing you find on google when typing "zte a2017g 7.0 nougat update"
My phone is now on: MiFavor 4.2, android 7.1.1.
What i find strange is when i look on this vid on youtube "Ultimate List of Tips and Tricks for the ZTE Axon 7"
Most of the features like the 3 finger screenshot, shaking your phone for light and many more. I just don't have them.
I hope someone can help me

You might like this hidden feature too : double tap power to open camera.
In settings search/type 'camera' . You will find the feature.

Screenshots are made with VOLUME DOWN + POWER at the same time... Never fails.
