Hey all, so first. How in the bloody hell can you autohide the taskbar and softkeys without installing buggy 3rd party software from the crapstore? I've tried a few apps and they are borderline useless.
Second. On ios that is a tweak called videopane. It's a pop out video window, I say window because that's what it is, it's not a player, it just allows you do pop out the current playing video in say youtube or plex but continues to use those apps to play the file. This is important on android because most video players won't play certain audio formats, so most of my mkvs won't have audio in apps other than vlc for instance. Is there a simular app for android. Again I don't want a septerate player unless it can get play everything I throw at it. Gplayer doesn't work, as well as every other one I've tried. It makes multitasking non existent without the option of mini windows or making a app like vlc play in the background.
Any help or advise would be great,
Thanks

Which module do you use? I have Xperia Xposed (KK) v.2.6 but I can't find this settings!

Yea kk is the one. The only way I found to do it was:
Power menu > lock screen actions > select full screen mode > choose and reorder > drag full screen mode to the top of the list (just makes it easier to select /deselect) now press power button as it you were about to shut down and the options should be there, may need a reboot.

For multi window viewing there's an xposed mod called xhalo foating window.
Add this with the xblast mod and you can run any app you want in a mini window with minimizing ability too. Xblast lets you add shortcuts to the app with sidebar thing. It works well.

Xhalo is really buggy on tablets but i will try again with it, I've not tried xblast though.
Also xhalo is awful for video apps like vlc as it minimizes the whole window and not just the video that's playing, once you shrink it down to a manageable size it makes it pointless.

+1 billion.
Download Nova launcher and then you can put an icon on your homescreen that let's you get into the multitasking menu with one press.
It will work with TW too.

ive read the description of nova launcher but couldnt find anythinga bout multi tasking. can you explain a bit more?
Not only nova you can have it in apex too, in fact you can simply bring the recent apps menu by making a swipe gesture on home screen

I'm not sure if it works on the gs3, but I use an amazing app on my transformer prime called gesture control.
It basically allows you to define actions by using gestures.
You can define two,three,and four finger gestures.
It really is great. Needs root though.
So you can define a gesture for bringing up the multitasking menu and it works throughout the whole system anywhere.
You don't have to be on the launcher homescreen .

tried apex launcher but couldnt get it to work when im inside an app. ill try gesture control. anyone else have any suggestion for me
anyone can give me suggestion on a great gesture app that can open the recent app from anywhere?
Wave launcher is also cool multitasker. Quite different though.
Also looking for this, something like zephyr for IOS that works inside apps. It allows to close an app just sweeping from bottom to top.

i tried the app and it worked great. Can I ask what the risk of enabling usb debugging is? Im kinda paranoid of what it does, also can you suggest to me what good gesture is best to bring up the recent app list?
What does usb debugging do?
I don't understand why you don't just want to hold home? Plus when on this screen if you swype to left or right the preview is binned.
As for killing apps, Android runs on linux, linux manages ram very well and indeed runs better when you don't keep closing things all the time, it caches processes to save you time and battery when you next need them!
I use a app called "multitask shortcut" which is awesome and it only cost .50 dollars. It doesnt work inside apps though. I wish there was something like Zephyr for Android. It was awesome on the iPhone.
got the one for boot menu options and call recording (haven't tested yet).
any others that people recommend for the ultra?
App Settings. It allows you to change the DPI of apps.

I came from the Note 2 with 4.3 FTW 1.0 and Synergy r3 roms. Both roms allowed me to open apps in the pop up windowed mode by clicking on the app in the multi window tray. On the note 3 stock rom clicking the apps in the tray automatically opens the split screen mode. Looked through the roms and screen shots and haven't seen a mention of this. Does anyone know how to get that feature on the note 3 besides using pen window manager?

Used xposed installer. It's a apk that allow mods. Once you have installed it look for a mod called "Xhalofloatingwindow". It will allow you to have apps that pop up. Oh and there's a cool app to use in conjunction with xhalo. It's called floating notification and you can find it in the android market.

Is it possible to auto-hide the navbar if I start a widescreen game/app?
Maybe with a xposed module.
In the Z2 stock rom the navbar hides when I start an app.
I'm using CM11.

just change the screen mode to imersive or forced
Thx again for your helpful answer (like in the eXistenZ Rom thread) but I think I'm using the wrong module now.
I've tried a module called "Immerse Me", this is my solution, but activates in vertical screen too without open any apps.
The other module called "App Settings" is to annoying to setup some permissions for every single app.
You got a screenshot of the correct app and name? Or better a link

Does anyone know a way to get a menu option on one of the hardware keys? Recents, home, back...
I used xposed on cm12 based ROMs on my S5, and the app "all in one gestures" on touchwiz based lollipop ROMs, but I can't use either on the s6 edge (app says device not supported).
Any ideas? I have an app I use for work and it doesn't have the overflow-3 buttons to access the menu!
Turns out the app I was talking about now has the overflow menu button, but it's not a part of the app, it seems android has noticed it didn't have one and added one itself?
Does that seem right?
We developed this app so know it doesn't have this natively...
I noticed TouchWiz give is a little floating menu for apps that don't have one. XDA is a good example.
