Hi,
I am on latest Android (Samsung smartphone) and I like to use multi window a lot, and it works great. I can have an app running at the top and another app at the bottom. There is a small horizontal line between the 2 apps that I can drag to increase and decrease the window size (if I make the height of the app at the top bigger then the app at the bottom gets smaller automatically). Sometimes I want the app at the bottom to have a very small height but unfortunatelly if I drag the splitter to a small height dimension, android will cancel the multi window.
The multi window with the splitter is awesome, but that's a really terrible decision to not allow an app to have a very small height and the other a very big height. And the problem is not with the app, because I am the developer of both apps and even setting minHeight to 1dp, Android never allows the apps to have a height smaller than 20-30% of the screen height. Why? Is there a way to fix it, something like in the Developer options?

Is there any way to reduce the size of the upper portion of the notifications menu in portrait mode? It's stupid that it takes up half of the screen for just the toggles and the AT&T bar which makes it really hard to navigate between GPS and my music player using the notifications...
i'm not aware of a way to change the sizes without some programming knowledge. You might want to wait for a dev to answer this one.
I think it's too big as well.

First off, loving the Titan so far. Upgraded from the Focus and there have been very few issues.
With a screen the size of the Titan's, is there a way to programmatically increase the number of columns on the home screen? Two is fine but three columns would be even better on this phone.
Ideas?

There is not and it seems unlikly to change, at least while the horizontal resolution of all screens is 480. (Adding a third column would require shrinking tiles, somehting that every app would need to acomodate. Tiles are 173 pixels square and three of them would be 519 even without space beteen them.
Might it be possible that extra columns could come in the future? No one knows, but there may be some reasonably solid usability arguments for not doing so. Personally, I'd like to see a "tweakers" settings that frees up more of the phone to users who want it while leaving the current "basic" features for those who don't want to control everything.
Are there any mods out there (and if not, how hard would it be for someone to write one) that vertically flip the orientation of the Notification Panel?
Right now, the typical panel pulls down with a swipe, showing the Toggles first (if your rom has 'em), then the notifications, stacked in a list, last first. What I'd like is to be able to have the panel swipe up from the bottom of the screen, with the toggles at the bottom of the panel and then the notifications stacked in a list, with the last one at the bottom. In essence a completely vertical mirror of how the panel operates.
The closest I've been able to find is with PA, but it requires cranking the DPI on your device so that fonts are tiny, and the panel doesn't span the screen completely, it's just a little popup window with tiny icons. What I'm looking for is something that's perfectly identical to the standard panel, just upside-down.
Is this possible? Has anyone out there written a mod that does this? It seems like such an obvious hack (especially in light of 4.7" phones), yet I can't seem to find anything.
I have a phone with Android 5.1.1. Opening the top drawer is hard because the phone has a box around itself.
Is there a way to increase the sensitivity (or the space) for the top-down gesture for opening the drawer? Like on newer Samsung phones?
An application can provide a sensing of "swiping from top to down an any part of the screen" would be nice as well (in case it can open my notification bar for that swipe gesture, but it needs to stay transparent, i.e I need to click-through it.
What would you recommend?
I came from the V20 and I used to use capture+ constantly to take a screenshot, crop and forward it without saving. Is there any way to stop the V60 from auto saving every screenshot?
not sure about the native options but i have been using an app called FooView and it's way better and so useful,. i have the small floating thin bar (50% transparent so its not visually in the way) and on the left side of screen.
You use drag gestures to run functions like, swipe the icon to the right or up to take screenshot or multiple screenshots and auto stitch together. or drag a square around a picture that has text, and then auto convert to text to clipboard or even make phone calls. very customisable and fast to use. free too
