Developer Settings, Multi-Window? - Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Does the Z3 Tablet Compact have the multi window option in the developer options on MM? Like mentioned on this page, here.
The image attached is from a website.

Bump...

No, but it has an option called 'Simulate Secondary Displays', which allows the user to set different resolutions.

Right, that means rooting is the only way to get it I guess.

The option shows a semi transparant overlay of a the screen image. It is nothing like the dual window in Nougat. So you are probably right.

I will be upgrading to MM in a bit and let's see. On my rooted Z5 i edited the build.prop to activate multi window and it works great though tricky to activate unlike on nougat. Hoping to have the same in my Tab Z3C. Will post back soon.

That'd be great, I haven't rooted my tab yet so cannot check. Just making the most of various small apps for now which are surprisingly useful.

CONFIRMED! Multi window working
Just updated and edited the build.prop. Multi window works, we can even choose 2, 3, or even 4 windows at the same time (albeit small already) I attached pictu of how multi window appears. For steps in editing build.prop follow this link

Wow, thank you so much! This has just made my day, who needs nougat when we can do this!
Can I ask, how did you root the tablet (which method)?

I warn you though that it's really buggy unlike in Nougat where experience is seamless. Like in the screenshot I was using it on portrait mode with chrome on top and messaging below. Whenever I started scrolling chrome the window below just disappears. It's really buggy. In landscape it's better though. For the root I really forgot since I rooted the first day I got this 3 years ago and it was never unrooted after that. I think I used the method in kitkat which has a tutorial on this section also by Lowtrax.

So i am back xD, with another bug(ish) report when using/having snapcolors installed and activated snapchat has some connection issues on wifi,and doesnt work on 3g connection keeps saying "Could not refresh menssages pl try again"
Cool idea but I got 2 problems. First the size does not work for me and yes I typed the number and tryed double clicking it a lot of different ways. Second, when I click the volume down button once it skips thru like 2 or 3 colours so its kinda hard to go to the one I want. Also please add the default transluscent colour cause after I click thru the colours It isnt there so I have to take a picture again so it comes back. I have a samsung galaxy s4 if it helps and thanks for making the module.

Emoji Request

Some of you may or may have not noticed, but coming from a nexus 5, the emoji's were nice looking. Now that I'm on V10, the emojis are butt ugly. I've attached an image of what I'm talking about. The ones circled in green are what the new ones look like, and the red circled ones are the ones I'd like back. Clicking on them only changes what they look like when selecting them on the keyboard. Not what they look like when placed. Any way I can get them permanently?

How'd you do that? Just replace a file? Mind sharing it with me? I managed to use emoji switcher to get the Google ones back, but that's only for lollipop. The new Unicode update would be better.

Emojis are actually fonts so you can easily change it out.. here
Emoji 6.0.1
Use a root explorer (I use Solid Explorer...its what es file explorer used to be before it started taking drugs )
Navigate to /system/fonts/
Rename NotoColorEmoji.ttf to NotoColorEmoji.ttf.bak (this is your backup if you want to revert)
Copy the downloaded file into the font folder and set the permission to -rw-r-r (aka 0644).
Reboot and enjoy

Lol well right now you would probably only be able to see the update for the already existing emoji you won't be able to see the new ones until you install a supported keyboard, I'll post the google keyboard from my nexus 6 later on when I get home from work/gym unless @Rydah805 can hook you up with a deodexed version first

Like I said, didn't work here. The Emoji Switcher app couldn't gain root and failed. I'll swap them manually when I have the spare time.
Well you could always try this method. --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...covery-install-unicode-8-0-emoji-5-x-t3266000
I ended up doing it all manually and it worked just fine for me. The new Unicode 8.0 emoji will ONLY show up in the AOSP keyboard for now. But the ones that were replaced with different images did get updated either way.
lol sorry I completely forgot about this....but the thread that @Virus.Shell linked to is a hopefully functioning 6.0.1 keyboard.
Not sure if you guys have seen this, but I installed these emoji, MUCH nicer than the stock Android ones and obviously nicer than the stock LG.

Welp, not my number or my pic. If he wants to put it up, more power to him. As for Google Keyboard, like the post says, there's a modified version that uses all the emoji. It's 50% of the point of my post
I have been using TouchPal app as a default swiping keyboard for all my texting all the while. And there are a lot of different kind of emojis in this app and it is free. Give it a try - I hope you will like it.

★How To Get True Immersive Mode/Fullscreen/Expanded Desktop in ANY Rom★

Want true fullscreen in any 7.1.1 Nougat rom? Want to be able to get maximum viewing space on your 6p? I have a treat for you!
Although the 6p screen is very large, I'm a huge proponent of maximizing screen real estate.
I found this setup is awesome because it gives you so much more viewing screen for everyday use. For example, in Chrome, now you can see so much more of a web page and it makes your viewing space so much better:
1) All in One Gestures App: enable fullscreen (within the app to get true fullscreen/immersive mode. Expanded desktop rocks. Massively improved viewing space baby!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...gestures&hl=en
2) Download Swipe Navigation App: from playstore. This is AWESOME. Enables swipe gestures to navigate and swipe as opposed to having a physical navbar. This saves huge amounts of screen real estate. At the bottom of the screen, left swipe up is back, middle swipe up is home, and right swipe up becomes recents. (This is so cool).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...vigation&hl=en
3) In a build prop editing app (I recommend BuildProp Editor), paste this line and save:
qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1
(this removes the on-screen navigation bar, now you have awesomely improved screen real estate!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...p.editor&hl=en
Can you use the build prop edit to hide nav bar in 7.1.1 last I knew it wasn't possible.
Not sure where you heard that, because yes you certainly can!

it's possible to hide the navbar. it's not possible to change its height (through substratum). maybe that's what you heard
Hmm. Keyboard won't work when you enable immersive mode in All in One Gestures. Kind of a deal-breaker.
Edit: tried out Swipe Navigation and the build.prop edit. Works perfectly right now. I was a little worried after restarting the phone because the Swipe Navigation app didn't start right away (I couldn't back out of an application, lol). But it started up in less than a minute and everything is good. I'm going to use for a while and maybe buy the $1.50 add-on that unlocks custom actions.

This app from the play store is the best that I have seen. Cost $1.99, I brought it with google play credits from the google surveys. It will give you the tiles in your toolbox and everything. You can hide the status bar, the nav bar, or both, plus alot extra. I use it. As long as your rooted there is no need to edit the build prop.

Easy there you get very defensive.
Rather then squabble with you, i think i discovered why it's not working for you.
Are you using superuser or supersu? I'm using the newest chainfire supersu SR3 beta. This might be your issue:
http://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip
** IMPORTANT** Also, did you enable all permissions for the app?
As you can see from my screenshot, this is mine, works perfectly and IF you take the right steps i highly suspect it works for EVERYONE.

The reason why you need to edit the build prop, is because, if you want to use Swipe Gestures (the easiest and superior method for nav bar-less navigation imo) is because otherwise now you have two extra steps. You swipe up from bottom, and now you wait for the nav bar to 'come up'. You then hit the button you want. Takes time.
With my method, you instantly navigate with a gesture. One lightning fast action. That's why removing the nav bar in build prop is so important.
Also, the app you suggested costs money. Can be done better and at absolutely no cost.

Like I said earlier, I set my phone up just using the Swipe Navigation app and the build.prop edit. It's all working right now, so I don't really think that first app would add any benefit to me right now, even if it was working for me.

I clearly stated to download the beta that i posted. It's like three months ahead of the 'stable' SuperSU development cycle.
What rom are you using? I'm using uberstock.
I flashed two other roms, and I was able to get the keyboard working in immersive mode in both.
Everyone felates and sucks off purenexus, but Uberstock runs circles around it in my opinion.

Navbar mods?

I love my Honor 6X. In fact, I've bought 3 of them in my household. The one thing that just drives me nuts though, is the spacing of the buttons on the navigation bar. I've searched and searched online and have not been able to find any way to change it. I'm using the Lineage theme so the buttons are Pixel-like, but I want them spaced out like stock Android instead of so close together. Anyone have any way of doing this? I'm rooted with bootloader unlocked on stock EMUI 5/Nougat.
Thanks!
caseym
Hi caseym. Same here. I purchased 3 of them when the BB deal came out. I'm afraid that you would have to use a custom ROM to get the navigation keys at the spacing of your liking. You can change them with a theme and you can re-arrange them (settings/navigation key) but nothing beyond that, other than changing the resolution (settings/display/view mode). For my taste the current custom ROMs are not ready yet for my main phone though. I've replaced Moto G4 Plus' on which we ran the Invicta ROM (best rom for that phone). Once the custom roms for the 6X reach similar status I'd consider them.
cheers
So, you can choose to use an app like this https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-custom-navigation-bar-customize-t3590967 (no root, no Xposed required) or you can manual do that via adb, following the tutorial here https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...icons-or-re-arrange-the-buttons-without-root/

Whoa sorry, both methods are a pain to EMUI, didn't noticed that. Well, check this one then https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/mod-navbar-tuner-enabler-t3615628 it requires substratum, but it should work on many OEMs Roms.
Thanks all for the suggestions. I've looked at some of these options and found exactly what derausgewanderte pointed out. I'll try the substratum mod.
Unfortunately, the substratum theme doesn't work. Try to enable it after installation, it says I have to reboot phone, reboot and it's disabled again. Guess we're stuck with what we have. I don't want a custom rom...battery life on this phone is absolutely amazing and I don't want to chance messing with that. Thanks for the responses.

I don't want a custom rom...battery life on this phone is absolutely amazing and I don't want to chance messing with that. Thanks for the responses.

Guess the same, at the moment... You're welcome.
I agree. It's looking odd especially if you got used to the AOSP looks.

Received EMUI 11 beta on the international Mate 20 X

I tried to enroll my device in the beta project for EMUI 11. Has not got a feedback through the app, but a month later has received OTA EMUI 11.
No huge changes, bit for a reason the interface looke better (pretty much IOS 14ish. More fluid, better performance as well as few pits and pieces here and there.
So far:
Text optimised cropping. I think it was there already, but now works better.
Better multitasking with apps drawn in a window while ongoing background apps/ interface working simultaneously.
Better visuals, closer to IOS ones (don't know who follows who, got lost a while ago and I don't really care). Actually I like the EMUI idea being a middle ground between iOS and Android
On the other hand, I believe that WiFi is not right with some connectivity issues.
However it's still early days, let's see how it goes

How did you enroll ? Beta app doesn't shows any option. Did you enroll on Chinese beta web page ?

I applied to the international version. Hasn't got a reply. But 2 weeks later got the OTA update.
I'm still on EMUI 9.1 because EMUI 10 ruined the speaker sound quality. How is it on EMUI 11?
Oh and the multi screen dock: does it let you launch all the apps you have in split screen or in a floating window, or only some approved apps?

sound quality is veeery subjective, so cant comment on that. especially since i wasnt on 9.x for long, updated to 10 almost instantly.
as for the multi window option, it basically lets u add any app to a sort of quick select, from which u can then create a bunch of floating windows (resizeable)

Thanks for the reply.
Would you say the sound quality of the speaker is the same as with EMUI 10?
And for the floating windows: it let's you add any app that's installed on your phone? Even let's say the "Settings" app?

it seems to be a tad louder than before, but again, very subjective.
as for the floating windows: as far as i can see, it only covers user installed apps, no system apps.

Thanks mate. Sorry for all the questions but I want to be sure that I'm upgrading to something I'm going to be liking.
One last question, about the floating apps. Can you only launch a floating app from the apps you've put in the dock? Or can you also launch them from the whole list of apps you get when you press the "+" icon (or do you have to put them in the dock first)?

no worries, happy to help. the dock has a total of 15 slots and can be configured freely with any user installed apps. once added, u can then open the apps from the dock as floating windows.

And is there any other way to launch a floating window or go to split screen? Or can you only do it with apps that are in that dock?

the dock is not always showing, if that is your worry. there is a shortcut gesture, dragging from the side of the screen towards the center and then hold a bit, that brings up the dock.
if i remember correctly, there is a different gesture that can activate split-screen mode with currently running apps. dont remember what that was though (i only ever use one floating window at a time, usually for watching a video while surfing the net or texting)

welcome to the EVR-AL00 EMUI 11 family where are u located?
Italy
Did EMUI 11 introduce a tap-to-wake feature for the front screen? I read they might include a back panel tap feature, but that is of less interest to me.

lemme see what i can do mate
edit:
Uploaded on MEGA: https://mega.nz/folder/lPA3XSYB#K3sWqh0o0PGeUflujIq3vQ
Included MMS.apk as well as two services related to MMS (not sure if needed to install properly)
Also added the Call Recorder app since I saw so many people asking for it
Let me know if this works! Extracted it from the system partition in the "app" and "priv-app" folders.

Oh one last question: can you resize the floating window? EMUI 10.1 didn't let you resize it but maybe they've changed it in EMUI 11.
