Is it possible to use multi window feature in portrait mode so that the windows are placed in portrait instead of landscape view?
I see no point using multiwindow in portrait if windows are placed side by side. they are too narrow to be used conveniently imo.
On my phone (Note 10, Android 11 OneUi 3.1) multiwindow apps are automatically rotated if you change phone to portrait or lanscape, but my tablet always keeps the windows side by side. On portrait it doesn't flip the windows to one at top, one at bottom half of the screen.
Desired way of rotating shown in attachment
Thanks
Edit:
I found out that by pressing the "three dots" icon in middle of the two open apps, there is a button to rotate the screen to vertical view. Still not doing that automatically depending the rotation of tablet

As wm6.5 via titanium offers a great UI even for landscape, and as the qwerty/z keys are really small in portrait mode i'm looking for an application that would switch screen orientation to landscape on sliding the keyboard in and to portrait when sliding out (in fact it actually changes to portrait, when i'm sliding the keyboard out, thats why i need something that changes sr to landscape when i slide back in)...
Anyone knows some app?
Maybe you could mix up the screen rotate tool from here:

... with the advanced tab of the SLIDE ACTION app:

works perfectly!
When using my Archos 70, I find out that the screen orientation is somehow strange.
1st - I like to use it in portrait. However, I cannot make the screen 'lock' to portrait orientation. The 'lock' feature only supports landscape orientation
2nd - Even in portrait mode, when using some apps, the orientation is inverted (such as z4root). Seems Archos makes the default portrait position to be like 'power button at the bottom and the USB at the top). However..... I think most of you will agree that we all like the power button AT THE TOP.
So, is there a way to fix the orientation (default) to portrait, with power button at the top?
Thanks for your help.
1. Yes lock is Landscape, that has to do with the stand.
2. This has to do with the way android works. Normaly view is stopped and started again with the new orientation by the os. But the developer can tell Android that it handöes this switch itself and then the app is responsible for thee switching.
So there is no way atm to change this.
Whenever I use an application (on my A101) that only works in portrait mode, the power button is always at the top.
So far I have tried with Twonky and z4root.
edit: oh, and I believe some of the launchers available will let you lock screen in portrait mode ... try Launcher Pro or ADW
I'm writing a Progressive Web App, and I'm having trouble with the behaviour of Chrome on Android wrt how videos go into and out of fullscreen mode.
On mobile safari, it all seems to make sense:
1. if not in fullscreen, pressing 'play' turns it fullscreen, in either orientation.
2. there's also a button to make it fullscreen, which does as it says.
3. if you rotate the phone while in any mode, it stays in that mode - fullscreen in portrait switches to fullscreen in landscape, and vice versa...similarly if not in fullscreen. The only notable thing that happens is that a progress bar appears after you rotate the phone.
On Android, however...
1. while not in fullscreen, rotating works ok..it just stays non-fullscreen.
2. pressing play, does not cause it to go fullscreen (unlike on mSafari).
3. if you go fullscreen, in either orientation, then switch orientation, then it drops out of fullscreen mode, and you get all the controls pop up again.
4. if, while in landscape, you have the video non-fullscreen, and tap the fullscreen control, it will go fullscreen, but it also rotates the video to portrait.
I wonder if anyone knows how to make the Android/Chrome behaviour more like the mSafari behaviour. I guess the key things are to stay in fullscreen even if the phone is rotated, and to allow fullscreen landscape.
Any ideas?
Max.

I stumbled on this trick by accident, i could not get the dual screen to open any apps in windowed mode until i installed Sentio desktop on the phone, the app opens in landscape mode only and can display across both screens, if you add app shortcuts to the top of the screen and click on them, those apps will open in windowed mode on the dual screen. Sentio will crash in the background on the dual screen and goes to recent apps, but the windowed apps stay open on top.. works nicely if you want to multitask in landscape mode like using your main screen for the keyboard and pop back and forth between apps on the dual screen.
Just install
Taskbar

Hi everyone, I noticed in this video the split-screen is arranged as up and down when the screen is in portrait mode
However, my tab s6 split-screen is arranged as left and right when the screen is in portrait mode. Does anyone know how to change the split-screen to be up and down (not left and right) when the screen is in portrait mode? I'm currently in One UI 2.5. Thanks, everyone.
Swipe from the corner of the screen, then open another app and do the same. Resize both to required dimensions.
I am also facing the same problem.Was it resolved for anyone?
I figured it out! I was confused by your post because I wasn't sure how to select the window and drag them. In Case anyone else maybe couldn't figure it out even though your post was clear, my issue is that the long press time was too high since I just got the tablet. So I thought it wasn't working.
All you do is long press on the little blue bar that's at the top middle of each window . Then you can freely drag it anywhere just as arobase said.
