I would like to use split screen multiwindow where one half of my screen is the phone app/incall screen and the other half of my screen is the calendar app.
When I grab the phone app in the multiwindow tray, I am told that the phone app only supports pop-up view.
I am rooted so Xposed or other root options are okay.
Thanks for the help.
MW Manager from the Play store. Enable in Xposed. Works for me. Enables multi window capability to any app.

Can anyone confirm that motion sensors and motion guided commands do not work when you do NOT use Touch Wiz? I am using Nova Launcher and the hand swipe to screenshot does not work.
Also, I tested out the IR Remote control app which worked great but now even after i close the app, on my lock screen, the remote functions are still there.

It hasn't gone away since last night. I closed out, closed process etc, still just hangs around the lock screen. When i press the channel/volume buttons from the lock screen, the blue light shines showing that it is currently activated and on. I believe this is a possible bug. I'm worried it's draining my battery as well. Please help.
Bonus help: how do you change the background on the lock screen?

On the S4 there's a setting within the app where you can disable the lock screen and notification panel settings. You'd think that they should still be there on the S5. Open the app, go to the menu and check the settings there.

Yeah, that drove me nuts too when I first used the feature on my S4.....Hopefully getting the S5 and Gear Neo this weekend.
Swipe to screenshot works fine for me with Next Launcher 3D.

i figure swipe to capture out, your hand had to actually glide ON the screen. This whole time I thought it was an air motion that the sensors on the front caught. it isn't that at all but based on the hand touching the actual glass. I guess this is what happens for first time Samsung users... mods feel free to delete this thread.
SOLVED! I had the same issue (swipe screen grab not working) and tried everything with my Galaxy S6 after I installed Marshmallow and also Nova launcher for first time. Not sure which one caused it... Anyway, after going through a million "fixes" that didn't work, this one finally did!
- Go to your phone dialer and dial: *#2663#
- That will bring up a developer menu. Once you're in the menu press the button titled "TSP FW Update (General)". Let it got through the update (just a few seconds) and viola!!! You're swipe screen grab or any other touch screen weirdness work perfectly again!
Thanks . Solved even S pen problem on screen capture
Hello!
I had an update (April security update for Pie) and now multiwindow has stopped working. Holding down the recents does nothing, I can't even find a mention of multiwindow in settings. WTH? Anyone else have this?
To clarify, I'm talking about split screen. Windowing still seems to work OK...

In the recents screen, press and hold the app icon and a menu with options will Pop up including split screen.
Install Good lock and MultiStar module to get the full multi window features back. The only thing is gone is the holding down the recent key to multi window. Now it is all in the recent screen by taping the app icon or dragging the app down or up on top of an active app. (Have an active app running, tap on recent button and sliding the desired app up or down to activate multi window. )

Thanks, all. These options work. Weird how they removed the long-press on recents....

Correct, it was a leftover from betas/android oreo - they never intended to have it there (iirc), thus they removed it as a "bug fix"... I also don't agree with their decision + they are big customer for google, I also refuse to accept the reasoning how google policy forced them to gutter the great multitasking they had on oreo, nougat and even MM. As said, multistar/goodlock returns 90% of the functionality + you can even turn on two activities same time, that way while you game you can open another app in pop-out without game freezing on the background, etc.
Hey guys. I have a Galaxy Tab S4 running OneUI on Pie. Rooted. Stock ROM. Samsung has an ability to launch apps in split screen and Pop up windows from recent apps switcher.. I was wondering if it would be possible to use tasker to create a shortcut to open app in pop up view.
Eg. Whenever tab is in landscape orientation, I could press on instagram icon and it would open in a pop up window rather than in portrait mode (I dont5wan5 to force landscape back it looks bad)
Thanks
I know that yesterday I had more than 5 apps locked in the recent menu app but now I can only pin 1 app. (Running DTH7 and I tried to downgrade to CTF4 this morning but it failed)
They stupidly removed the "lock this app" feature (a feature which only pinned apps and didnt keep them in the ram) in One UI 2.5 and replaced it with "keep open for quick launching" a full keep in ram option that's limited it to 1 app at a time.
What beats me is they could have added that 1 app keep in ram option and still kept the unlimited pin app options (the old lock this app feature) as I the same as many used it to keep Google Maps, and Spotify or the likes immune to being closed automatically accidently by clicking close all apps.
There is a work around is to install Goodlock and the Task Changer mod but then the only bad thing is that once you lock them you are unable to close them at all.
I usually use it for spotify, gmail and linkedin, since I have issue with getting notifications from both gmail and linkedin like the system is killing them or something.
Thanks for the Goodlock heads up!
The settings for it are not enough. How to make an app automatically open up on the dual screen even if the app is opened on the phone screen? When cycling through open apps in the recents list how to stop apps appearing on the phone screen which then gets pulled away from the dual screen? Essentially lock the app to only show on the dual screen? Also macrodroid doesnt seem to work with dual screen how to make it work?
I have not found a way to lock it but with macrodroid I set up a macro that takes a program to wide mode whenever I open the app.
In macrodroid set trigger for application launched (select application), set action to switch wide mode-turn on.
Separately I added a floating button that works on all apps, I just selected toggle rather than on for action
