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

I just installed cm-11-20141022-UNOFFICIAL-w7-LG-D415 and would like to customize two things on my phone.
1. I would like to close the messenger so that when I unlock the screen, it isn't the first thing I see. I like to open my messages when I feel it's time to open them and not have to deal with them until I'm ready for them.
2. I would like to kill Yahoo Weather. I don't want it running every time I reboot my phone. If I want weather info, I can use my browser to get the info.
As a first time user of CM; I'm very impressed. With a little more TLC on my phone; I'm sure I'll be a very happy camper because of it.
Thanks to all of you who put more than a few tons of effort into this,
Jim

It may be that you're not swiping straight across the screen. There are 5 targets on your lock screen, and it just so happens that the messenger app target is just above the home screen target. I've attached a screen shot of my lock screen targets as an example. If you press and hold your unlock icon, the targets will display. Just swipe to the target you wish to open. How fast or slow you swipe doesn't matter as long as you stay in contact with the screen, you're golden!
You can disable the Yahoo weather info on your lock screen with the following steps:
- Open SETTINGS in app drawer
- Select LOCK SCREEN
- select CLOCK SETTINGS
- select DISPLAY WEATHER
- select button to turn off
- Exit using the BACK ICON located on top left of screen. Don't use the back key or your change may not be saved. I have attached screen shots for reference.
Enjoy! The devs on this phone are extremely helpful!

I tried your steps for Yahoo weather and didn't see a CLOCKS SETTINGS in LOCK SCREEN. No problem because just disabling the clock app fixed the problem.
The "Hold and Swipe" is a nice feature. I wonder if it can be customized.
Is there an easy way to turn the speaker phone on?
Thanks,
Jim

jran0880's steps, #3 "CLOCK SETTINGS" should be "Clock widget". There you'll find 3 entries, "Clock and alarm", "Weather panel", and "Calendar events". Select either on of those to manage it's settings.
Also, jran0880 is correct. The messaging app does NOT automatically show when unlocking the lock screen.
The targets can be customized. In your lock sceen settings, there's the option to Slider Shortcuts. Choose that and swipe to the one you wish to change. Tap the icon to change it and select the app name to change the app. If the app you want is not listed, press "apps" at the top of that list to show all your apps.
The speaker phone is located on lower left of your in call screen. 2nd icon from the left.
I did a reset on the Lock Screen and that made things just "peachy keen".
As for the weather and lock screen, etc.; there's no Clock Widget when I open Settings, Lock Screen. If this helps, I installed the Pico-GApps. Not sure if that makes a difference.

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.
I downloaded Tasker with the intent of doing one single action - turning my equalizer on whenever I plug in my earphones, as the topic title might suggest.
Is this possible? The app I use has an option to put a shortcut on my home screen that turns it on without actually opening the app. Is there a way that I can set Tasker to perform this same fucntion?
(Additionally: is there a way to set it to ignore the function if the equalizer is already on? And is it possible to set it to turn the equalizer off in the same way (there's a home screen shortcut provided for that too) when I unplug my earphones?)
You can do that, but you need to have "autoShortcut"
Sorry, I can't link to it, but search for it on google play
Or actually, you don't need it, you can do it by running scripts that emulate screen touches, but option one is the easiest by far
(EDIT: You need root to emulate screen touches)
You can launch shortcuts within Tasker by selecting "All" in the launch application task (to show all applications installed) then simply long-press on the app you installed and it will bring up relevant activities that you can directly launch.
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.
Hello everyone,
As you know, when the icon in the upper left is pressed, the image is projected onto the rear display. It's annoying to press this icon every time the camera is opened. Can I make it open automatically by changing a value with the Setedit application?
Yes, but after restart it will be off
1 - go to camera settings, set "preserve settings" to ON, Autostart - ON
2 - switch on rear display in camera, then minimize camera app
3- in recent app make sure camera app is locked, so won't be closed by MIUI
After this when open camera, rear display is already ON, check if it works for you and let me know
Thank you but I am looking for a permanent solution.
Up.
Up.
Plase help me guys
Without re-compiling the camera app with modified code, you're out of luck my friend.
As a die-hard Tasker user, you could make a task and add it to the home screen that opens the camera app and then use AutoInput to look for and select the rear screen display button upon launch with said task.
