Hello,
My GF's Galaxy S3 got updated to Android 4.1 (version 4.1.2 to be exact) about two weeks ago. After the update there was a small vertical bar with app shortcuts that you could pull from the left side of the screen. A few days ago it disappeared and she wants it back. I've browsed through the phone settings and can't find anything related to it. Also, no luck on searching the web for it either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Long press on back key
That's the Multiwindow feature
Make sure that Multiwindow feature is enabled

I have a rooted galaxy s3 with custom rom but im just wandering the older version of android has that recent app menu in the notification menu which i liked, is there a way i can get it back ?
What do you mean?

Isn't that a HTC Sense thing?
I just hold the home button and use the task switcher..
This is an HTC thing. An old HTC thing.

I agree
Just like the galaxy nexus the on screen navigation keys.... Back home and recent apps button was great because on the galaxy S3 having to switch recent apps by pressing home button will wear and tear button and takes 2 seconds whereas on screen recent apps button was perfect
I know AOKP rom has this on screen keys mod but any add on that someone is developing or has developed for s3 with touchwiz framework would be winderful.... This new TW is beginning to grow on me

i think goluacher also has a recent and running apps in the menu.
Check out "Task Switcher" by gdroid on play store (com.gdroid.fastfive).
Personally I didn't like it, as the curtain doesn't close automatically. But it seems to work fine.
Maybe a developer can bake it back in once some roms start flowing. But nothing I've seen. Let us know!

Good job posting what the guy on top of you posted. How helpful.
There is a new app on the market called Multitask Shortcut, it's not free (only £0.50 though) and I have not tried it but it does seem to do what you are after (check out the video he has on the app page)...

Just switched over from Samsung Fascinate (hey nitsuj17). 4g is super fast I'm loving this phone, got all the vzw bloat disabled. Can't wait for s-off, root and all that good stuff.
I have one question though. Why is there no notification quick-settings, wasn't that added in 4.1?

Added by nit... Settings in the upper right hand corner is similar.
I thought the one x and other HTC phones had the quick setttings tab on stock.

They did. We didn't get the recent app button remap either.

That's the way I felt till I started using it. Now I love it. I still find myself wanting the search button.

I thought I was gonna hurl the thing out a window when I first got it. Now I use the recent apps button all the time. I sure miss having them rotate though
And I agree, I miss the search button.
Long press on the home button for recent apps is more efficient use of the buttons. Then the recent apps button could be search.

Unless I am mistaken, this is how the "3-button mod" works. It will be another benefit of the pending root.

quick setting and htc on sense4/4.1/4/5/4+ has been an oddity for sure across the one series and other phones
on random ota/roms they enable it, others they disable it, others they completely remove the code
many sense4.1 ota's enabled a toggle in settings that allowed for switching of "recent" apps to menu...ours didnt for some reason
once you are rooted, custom roms fix this issue...and viperRom allows you to completely remap the long presses of all 3 buttons, and select what you want the menu to be
cant wait for root then

just realised i can remove the verizon apps tab in the app drawer, and if you just have only one tab the tab bar dosent show up. Its nice.

Just wondering if anyone knows of an app that can move the 3 menu buttons from the bottom middle to either left or right side so i can get to it with my thumb?
Thanks

CyanogenMod allows you to move one on each side. I have my back button and recent button on the left and right side, respectively. It's not an app, but that's the only way to have that without using an app like button saver or virtual button bar (don't move originals but can place buttons anywhere pretty much).

Thanks omac, Maybe will give it a try then, do you think it's the best rom?

I think its pretty great. The nightly updates and constantly added features is what keeps me going.
I use this version of AOSP:

Just make sure to flash "leftnavbar.full_manta-ota-eng.cgomez.20122012.zip" to move the navbar over (link in the OP).
Use Paranoid Android and in Tablet UI you can have all three on the bottom left. Otherwise you can use the expanded desktop with PIE and have them come or of anywhere you like.

Fantastic ROM! Finally expanded desktop is like it was meant to be.

Paranoid Android is probably the best for Nexus 10 and 7... Check that out
I'll back these guys up. Been running Paranoid Android in my Nexus 10 for ages and it's brilliant. I have the buttons on the bottom left and my notifications on the bottom right. I noticed there are some other ROMs starting to introduce these features such as CM and aokp but I'd definitely recommend looking at Paranoid Android.
I'm running CM10.1 with lmt launcher and fullscreen togglev2. It's just nearly perfekt
Need no nasty navbar anymore. More Display for me

Do you mean how do you turn on extended desktop so that you can use the pie menu? Press your power button until the menu comes up and select extended desktop.

I'm talking about enabling extended screen, using pie, AND having the three button bars and menu visible.

Unfortunately, in this scenario, you can't have your cake and eat it too. There isn't a setting, to my knowledge, that allows using both PIE and the nav/stat bars at the same time. Maybe in an upcoming update? Expanded desktop works great for me, I don't even remember what the stat bar looks like.
I've been having a strange issue with the multitasking window. I hit the "edit" button to add apps that I want to multitask, but when I drag an app into the drawer it magically switches to a different app. It doesn't seem to have any kind of pattern either. It will just switch to any random app. Anyone else had this problem yet?
This appears to be a common issue with many of the multi-window mods.
I recommend the multi-window module for the Xposed framework as it corrects this problem.
It can be found here:

You need to clear data for com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService.
Then it will be fine.

Thx. I guess I didn't hold it long enough.

Does anybody know? I might have accidentally uninstalled it from NoBloat.
My multiwindow is not showing up when long press back.
Thanks!
Hi,
seems to be com.sec.android.multiwindow
Also ensure that the multiwindow toggle is enabled in the notification toggles. Only then will the long press back button work.
