I created small app that triggers Air Command menu. Could you try it on Note 10.1 (2014) as I don't have it.

These just require that you use S Pen. This app only shows the menu.
Ahh.. ok so it works..
Requires root ?

I updated the app:
1) Scrapbooker - it requires S Pen. You can to select are with S Pen if you click this action.
2) Pen Window now whould work.
Also you can now put this shortcut to Multiwindow menu.
I still have one question for Note 10.1 users. If you set S Pen detach action to None in Android settings does this app still open Air Command properly for you?

Thanks. I still don't get why I have a bunch of comments in Play Store that it does nothing on Note 10.1
Very nice shortcut app....

Galaxy note 10.1 2014
So is anyone having this issue, that app does not start Air Command? Anyone tried it on LTE model?
seriously.. it's weird.. I read the comments on play store and i don;t know why people with note 10.1 2014 are saying that it is not working. I have p605(LTE) model and for me it works like it should. Hmm.. Is it possible that it works because i'm rooted...?? I don't think so.. but...
I have p600 wifi only and the shortcut works fine. I haven't been able to get the Themed air command versions to work yet. Wally3614 is already making it for Note 3, (which I also have and it works perfect as does this shortcut app) and he is attempting to get testers on Note 10.1 2014 at my request to port....

I'm having that issue after getting the app from your thread. Do I just install the app and start it up or am I missing something? When I click the icon, nothing happens. I'm rooted on p600.

Yes you should just start the app and it is supposed to display Air Command on bottom right.
This apps sets you spen detach action to Air Command, sends SPen detach event and then restores old detach action. Normally you don't need to adjust any of your settings. But since it does not work could you try a few things:
1) Do you have S Pen detach action?
2) Try setting it manually to S Pen detach and see if app works then?
I will try to fix it when I understand how it fails.

I followed your instructions and tried setting pen detachment options to "none" as well as trying it with "air command". I also tried it both with the pen attached and detached. However, none of these seemed to work. For the Spen options, i have all of them checked and all of them turned on.
The only notification I get when I press the icon for the app is that it says "S-pen has been detached" at the top. I'll be happy to try anything else if you need.

But if you select Air Command for detach and actually detach S Pen it properly triggers Air Command?
How many options do you have in Pen Detachment options? Is it 3: Note, Action Memo, Air Command?
Not exactly what you've asked for, but tested in my note 2 with Phoenix ROM (4.3) and it worked flawlessly.
I can see potential on this app. Is there someway to customize the air view menu?

Yes, if I select air command and then actually detach the Spen afterwards, then it triggers the command. But without detaching the pen, nothing comes up. Under pen detachment i have None, action memo, and Air command.
Edit: Oh, I don't think I made it clear. It pops up when I take the Spen out only when I have it set to air command. If set to none, then nothing pops up either way.
Yesterday, a blue semicircle appeared on my Galaxy S3 and now I can't find a way to delete it, just move.
Here's a quick preview of it (I found the S3 image on Google and put the circle)

Also, you can move the circle on left/right side and also on top, but you can't delete it. And when you "open" it (with the finger going up/down/right/left) few applications appear (actually, those apps are installed with the Android itself, but...). Any help?
Multi Window.
I believe it's a Multi Window feature.
To Disable It:
1. Open "Setting" App
2. Tap on "Display"
3. Unmark to Enable/Disable Multi Window

Not too often, but once in a while I accidentally minimize apps into pop up view. How do I disable that? I was digging through the settings and couldn't find it.
Please. Anyone!?
By reading the manual?

Yeah it's annoying me too, I've already minimized by accident a handful of times when I was trying to swipe down to get the notifications bar. If you find a setting let us know!
Very annoying
This is how it works... Don't know how you disable it though
So now you’ve mastered Multi Window mode, but there’s something else of note tangentially connected to that. Samsung included a cool feature from the Note 4 called Pop-up View that works with any app that supports Multi Window (and only those apps). Basically, you get a resizeable floating app window that you can move around the screen. You can even have more than one and minimize them to floating icons.
There are three ways to go about this: long press on an app in the multitasking UI, drag down from the top right corner when an app is open, or use the pop up button when you have an app in Multi Window mode.
You can arrange these floating windows however you want, drag content between them, and maximize them to full screen at any time.

I don't think you can disable it, unfortunately. I hope someone proves me wrong though.
I was looking for this too. As soon as i got the device I kept accidentally re-sizing windows.
How do you resize windows on the s6 edge? There should be a setting under device called multiwindow...I know my note 4 has it, but I can not find it on the newer lollipop device.

start from left or right top corner, quickly swipe down to the bottom of the other corner, like from top left to bottom right.
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: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nerd.multiwindowtoggle
it worked!! Thanks a lot!

Worked perfectly on my G920V. Thanks!! I am amazed that Samsung hid the ability to disable this feature given how annoying and (seemingly) unnecessary it is with the new app switcher.
Worked brilliantly - thanks!
Simple
To disable it simply go to
Settings - (Device) Multi window - and disable Pop up view shortcut.
Tested on my Note 4 with android 5.0.1 stock
Ok you guys need to tap the soft key not push it because if you do you are going to get a split screen! Try it go on FB and then push and hold the left soft key and see what happens! My wife was doing the same thing!
There is a multi window toggle app for free in the app store
On my note 3: settings > display > multi window > (uncheck) pop-up view shortcut
Hello,
I found an App in Tab S4 called "Samsung Dex On/Off" as attached but I didn't found in my tablet.
Anyone can tell me how to install it?
Thanks
My guess is it's to enable/disable DeX Mode? If you don't have it, there should be a toggle in your Quick Settings Panel somewhere...
That app is part of the retail demo mode. I was looking for it myseld but have not been able to find it anywhre.
Yes. I also found that in Samsung Retail Shop but the salesperson didn't know how to get it. I try to find it in the web but nothing.

If you want to enable Dex, you should be able to find it and toggle it via the Quick settings Panel (see screenshot)
Thanks diehardbattery.
Yes. I use it to toggle the Dex Mode. But don't know why in the Dex Mode, No such Toggle in the Quick Setting Pane to let me back to the normal. I need to go to Setting, then put Dex Off.
That's why I want to use such App.

Gotcha. You might want to check for updates though. Because recently I noticed a new button in the lower left corner of the screen in DeX mode, with one of the options being to exit DeX Mode. I have an app called Desktop Hub which adds features to DeX, so I'm not sure if its that app doing it, or Samsung themselves that added it.

I mainly got it for the alternative start menu. It's better than stock but still somewhat awkward to use.. I don't remember what I paid for it as it was some time ago... but I don't think it was $10...
Icon Dexs
You Need to Download Activity Launcher from Play Store. Then You open the app, and go Recent Activities is in the top menu and touch the arrow in your right side. when you open, is going to be two options and touch ALL ACTIVITIES .
Wait for a few seconds is going to open all the apps is in your device. Scroll down and search for Samsung Dex and Touch Samsung Dex. Is going to open another Samsung Dex in the bottom. Press the Samsung Dex for a few seconds and going to launch a window with four options, touch the 2nd one. is going to say CREATE SHORTCUT. After that just follow the steps and is going to create a shortcut in your device.
Sorry for my bad writing in English and i hope you understand. and i hope this method help you.

I really haven't used it enough to give a recommendation one way or the other. But, I will say that if you want a more PC like interface for that, instead of a more Android like one that is stock, then yeah. However there might be other DeX addons or enhancements that I'm not aware of that could be cheaper...

I haven't found anything but Desktop Hub and DeX Max. And DeX MAX hasn't been updated in 18 months.
I found a way to get Dex to open apps it would otherwise block, due to them not being supported. This method also makes all apps resizable, useful for those apps with fixed portrait layout like Instagram (where the menu items only show when canvas is expanded).
Some apps, like games, won't render correct if you change the window size. You have to change to the size you want, and then restart the app. 8 Ball Pool for instance appears too oversized, but playing resized it's now playable.
Instructions:
Install Desktop Hub for Dex (optional)
Select the 'True window' option (if using Desktop Hub)
Go to Dex Settings > About Dex
Tap Dex logo multiple times to activate developer mode
Scroll to the bottom of Developer options (in settings) and enable 'Force activities to be re-sizable'
Edit: It seems you don't need the Desktop Hub app. Follow the instructions to enable Dex developer mode and you're done.
Now you can do things like open a custom launcher from Dex to access functionality like gestures, activities shortcuts. For instance, I use Muzei a live wallpaper in Dex and set a double tap gesture in Nova Launcher to change wallpaper. I can now also access my widgets.
Have RAM issues in Dex/LoD?
You can now open 3C Toolbox, and clean memory. (Note: make sure you exclude Dex and/or LoD from the auto-kill list, otherwise your session will end/restart. If using 3CToolbox - Settings > Active Tweaks > Auto-kill > Configuration.
Why not just use Device Care to clear RAM? 3C Toolbox let's you kill system apps using root.
How it works:
Dex is a multi-window environment, so apps have to support multi-window within their manifest. By enabling the developer option, we're telling Dex that all apps should be multi-window.

Sorry I didn't realize, you have to first be in Dex mode before the option appears.
I have found out though that the app isn't required. It just provides a guide on how to do it. You can enable the feature by enabling Dex developer mode.
I don't this works for every app. For example, Slashtop Streamer still gives the orange outline over the app and refuses to let me stretch it to full screen. Unless I'm doing something wrong. I would love some advice.

You can't resize the window because you're using a remote desktop app. It requires an add-on for Knox in order to control your device using KLMS and device admin permissions. So this has to do with how Splashtop Streamer is setup and configured. You either need to make a change in the main app, or the On-demand Support from another device. The app is controlling what screen size to set it to.
I can't test this on my tablet to help you, because I'm already giving another app device admin rights.

Actually, I was able to make the Splashtop app full sized by tapping the DeX on the bottom left hand corner and selecting Dex Labs and there is an option there to "Force apps to resize". This did the trick, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'm not sure if they work in conjunction or if the Force apps to resize did it. I'm just glad it works.
