As you can see I did search this topic...can't even find an answer on google. Which worries me...
Often, I'll swipe down from the notification bar which turns the app I'm viewing, if capable, into a multi window view. This is incredibly annoying. Coming from the Note 4, there was a quick toggle (or in settings) to turn this off. I can not seem to find how to turn this function off with the S6. Any help out there?
I was just going to post the same question How the hell do you turn off that annoying multi view crap?
I wanna know this as well and how do I turn off the lightof the back and the cent button also?

I mean the back button and recent button, it lights up as soon as you touch the screen, there was an option to turn this off in S5.

I think I saw some settings for it in "/data/data/<settings provider, whatever its called>/ <blah>.db" (can't remember the exact name). So if you have root and sqlLite Editor you might try looking there
UPDATE: this database is the one I'm talking about:
then click on Data
Then click Data Aagin
Then Click com.android.providers.settings
then click Databases

I do have root...so this will take remove the multi window? Considering we just got twrp I may just wait for a custom ROM lol
I found the new MultiWindow gesture pretty annoying. On my S6 every time I swept down on the notification bar using one hand I'd always create a floating window. On other Galaxy devices there is a Quick Toggle to turn the MultiWindow feature off/on. The ability to control the feature is still in the S6 however it is not exposed in the user interface. I wrote a small application that can either enable/disable MultiWindow or bring back the MultiWindow Quick Toggle. It was primarily written for the Galaxy S6 however it should work on most of the devices that include Samsung's MultiWindow. Look for "MultiWindow Toggle for Samsung" on the Play Store.

Works perfectly. Thank you very much
Have a freshly rooted AT&T 5.0.2 s6 using pinpong and wondering what next? Here are a few mods and changes that I've made so far to improve my AT&T S6. (info pulled from various forums and threads, posting things here that are specific to the ATT S6). Have more to add? Post it!
Useful Apps Requiring Root:
Titanium Backup, AdAway (available from Fdroid website), Greenify, Tasker for enablign GPS when opening maps.
Debloater tool (root not required) available in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
FlashFire (needed for flashing roms, custom themes, etc): Download Here
Enabling / Adding Hidden Features:
Quite a few features are available to the ATT S6 by modding features.xml using Wanam's CSC Feature Expert. The steps I list below are using that app. You can download it from playstore, and it requires root: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.cscexpert. Below is what i used, but more options are found in this thread, although ATT seems to have many of them already by default: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...uick-guide-enabling-hidden-features-t3087506/
Hide Wifi Notification in Pulldown:
Search configwifi. Click item and delete "ATT"
Enable WiFI Calling: option to enable is under phone settings
Search WifiCall. Click on Item and add: "True"
Enable Call Recording!!: (recordings are found in voice recorder app)
Search configrecord. Click on item and add: "RecordingAllowed"
Mods:
Disable Bootsound:
Go to file folder: System / Media / Audio / UI. Find file "poweron.ogg" and rename it to "poweron.ogg.bak"
Roms:
Scotty's Clean Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...om-cleanrom-1-0-clean-smooth-stable-t3111330/

Thanks for the helpful thread!.. I can finally use the GMD gestures app I'd say thats an essential root app for me.

Yes, it seems to work too. You open the phone app, click on 'More' then Settings and the option is at the bottom. Be sure to reboot after you make any changes in the CSC to activate them. No word yet on Xposed, but it's almost not needed. Almost....
PS- That gestures app is pretty sweet.

Yeah its awesome i deleted lazy swipe because with this app you can pop up launchbars for your favorite apps from anywhere with a gesture
I enabled wifi calling and rebooted, but I don't see any indication that it is enabled. Even tried making a call, and it seemed like it was over cell not wifi.
Did you enable it in the phone app settings? It's check box at the bottom .
Yea, that's where I enabled it... But didn't get anything that showed it was making calls over wifi.
Did yours give you some sort of icon? And can u take a screen shot of it?
I'd love to hide the auto brightness bar and show more notifications on the lock screen.

Not that I'm aware of. ALso, haven't been able to figure out whether the wifi calling actually is going over wifi or not.
Bypass Tether Check
I see that Verizon Mods have enabled tethering through the framework, anyone see these options anywhere. Would love to use tethering on my Unlimited.
I would like to know that too but I have wifi router installed and it works. I also would like to know how to get the download Booster to work I tried doing that shortcut deal through Nova and it keeps on going away
Boot Animation
I didn't create this/ don't own it. I apologize if I am stepping on the creator's toes. I have had it for a while but it works with our s6 and removes the white att boot screen, but keeps the samsung part.
MUST FLASH WITH FLASHFIRE.
Silent power on, charging and wireless charging sounds.
Unrar on PC or on andrioid. Replace files (I use Root Explorer) in system/media/audio/ui, and change permissions. Reboot.
Used a rar file so one doesn't think it flashable!
Change permissions to rw - r - r (just copy the permission setting of any of the other, unchanged sounds in that system/media/audio/ui folder).
This is similar to the mod in the op except it replaces the boot sound with a short, 2 second silent sound. I had problems of other sounds playing instead if I just changed to .bak, hence I made these sound files.

I have added(and then removed) the quick settings toggle but it doesn't appear to do anything but make an icon appear in the status bar
Hello I have a galaxy tab s2 t810 running lollipop 5.1.1 It is rooted .I want to remove the add user icon from the notification bar. When the screen is locked anybody can pull down the notification bar click on users and then create a new user by clicking on add user. I want to remove only the add user icon please point me in the right direction. I have looked in settings under lock screen and there is no option to turn this off. Thanks
Tejal
Agreed
Wow, I can't believe there is still no information anywhere about this. I would really like to know the answer as well. I imagine a lot of people are the sole users of their devices and do not want anyone who picks up their device to be able to create a new account, change settings and download apps. I encrypt my devices and know my information is secure but if I want to add a user I can do it from the settings once I'm logged in. I would love the ability to remove the option from the lock screen. I just don't get whoever thought this was a good idea but apparently most people either don't mind, don't care or as I suspect, don't realize it's there. This option should be available for unrooted devices as well.
Check this out. Maybe this is what you need.

I updated to tab s2 to nougat. I was expecting the add user option could be customised to disable it completely but it is still the same.
I want to remove add guest and add user completely from the notification. How do I make this happen ?

Hi !
Still looking for a solution on this one. Any body successful ? It feels so helpless when some one can simply open your device using add user in notification !

Hi, i'm having problems disabling my fingerprint scanner whenever i'm connected to my home network..
I created new profile > state > net > wifi connected, then I entered my SSID and blah blah, that part works, but when I enter fingerprint lock as entry task (secure settings > custom rom actions > samsung fingerprint lock > disable) it does not work. Can anyone help me ??
Yes this custom rom action "Samsung Fimgerprint Scanner ON & OFF" doesn't work anymore in MM but working fine in LL and KK. I think at the moment, there's no solution yet.

Shame..hope they'll fix it soon
I've been trying to use this today too. Shame it's not working in 6.01. Is there likely to be a fix for it?
You can use the Admin/Password/Disabled to remove the finger lock but can't enable it again.
What I've done for now is create a shortcut on my home screen which opens the settings menu the presses the dpad to go to the fingerprint menu (quick settings at top) and switch on fingerprint lock. Not a great way to do it but it works.
Then use the Admin thingy in tasker to switch it off when I want.

Unfortunately it's pretty unlikely that there ever will be a fix for it, as the developer stopped working on secure settings in early 2015.
Recently there haven't been any updates, nor rumors that he will continue.
It's a little miracle that most of the options are working on Marshmallow.
I'm sorry I have to disappoint you

You can disable Samsung Fingerprint lock when on home WiFi by using Xposed module "No Lock Home".
Disabling it thru Secure Settings plugin is unlikely to be implemented as mentioned in the previous post.

Hallo everyone,
i have looked over all the threads here but did not find any solution.
My question is: Since SecureSettings (plugin) seems to be not developed anymore i need a new way to completely disable keyguard with Takser and ofc. reset to keyguard it was before.
Example: currenty i have a pattern to unlock. What i want to do: Profil "App X starting" -> Start-Task: completely disable keyguard (no "swipe to unlock", no pattern, no pin, nothing: tapping on power button => screen on with current running app); -> Exit-Task: restore pattern (with the pattern i was using before ofc)
Does any1 know any way how to do this? Currently i am running CM13 Snapshot (Android 6.0.1) on my GT-I9505.
thanks for any helpful answer
You can do that with Secure Settings, or the new AutoTools plugin

No, it did not (at least not for me), i did not even find the "disable keyguard" option like the SecureSettings Pluig-in had it
Still looking for a way to completely disable keyguard on Android 6 (CM13). Not even with my Smartwatch and "Smart Lock" i can REALY disable keyguard, i still have to swipe the Lock-Icon after reaktivating my phone
you can use secure settings on Lollipop and also on MM
try this with Terminal emulator:

Thanks, but i already knew this. The problem is not, secure settings does not find su binary. The problem is, secure settings -> disable keyguard is not working on LP&MM.
I am running Android 6.0.1... I use the Tasker plugin TouchTask (in Google Play) to disable the keyguard. It works perfect for me.

I use a tasker plug in called TouchTask from Google Play. It works perfect for me on Marshmallow. I used the plugin to temporary disable the keyguard in order to allow voice commands when driving.

hi, this is weird!
Maybe I misunderstood something here, but I'm running MM, and Secure setting's disable keyguard runs fine here. I use it to turn off pin keyguard when at home, and turn it back on, with preset pin, when I'm out.
I'm running Tasker with Secure setting on 6.0.1. Also, Secure setting is enabled in Xposed, if it matters.
I don't see any problem so far...
p.s. I just saw another plugin from the same developer, it is called SecureTask, it claims to be able to clear/set pin, password too. Maybe a good solution to finally replace the dated Secure setting?

Like mentioned in my OP (and how it worked on 4.4.4 (CM11):
Profil "App X" => start task: disable keyguard => end task: enable keyguard
i am using unlock pattern usually. what i want is, while "App X" is active/running, keyguard will be set to nothing (not even swipe to unlock!). pressing power (or home button) on my Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505), wich has no fingerprint reader, returns me from black screen (screen off) to the running "App X", i was before pressing power button to screen off. If i stop "App X" the keyguard should be re-set to the unlock pattern.
The SecureSettings plugin did this job on android 4.4.4, but not on 6.0.1 for me

The task I use is the follwoing:

A2 Screen Unlock "Using the Plug I have mentioned"
A3, what ever else you want to do with Tasker
Please keep in mind that previously, I have disable the PIN using Tasker and Secure Settings when my cell phone is connected to my car's bluetooth
Keyguard is disabled/not an option in Secure Setting even I enabled legacy features. Did anyone figure it out how to disable keyguard on Marshmallow?
