Hi guys,I got the side bar short cut when my phone updated and I really like it but it randomly disapears like a few times a day. I have given up resetting it now its such a pain. Also its not when I turn phone off or reboot or anything, it does it for no apparent reason.Would anyone know what the problem is?ThanksNat

FYI it's not specifically a shortcut sidebar. It's for multi-window compatible apps so you can easily long press the first app, and drag it to the screen, then the second app and drag that to the top or bottom of the screen to show both apps at the same time in split screen.
 
Isnt there a toggle in notification bar?
The back button doesnt work for me but im not on stock rom....
P.s, in display settings (i think) you change what toggles are in not' bar... maybe multi window is there.

If its multi tasking u want, i recomend "dock4droid" app, its excelent :)

There is a toggle button on the notification bar. Only when this is on does the back button then toggle the showing/hiding of the pull out tab.

And yes, you can customise the notification bar toggle buttons in settings > display > notification panel.
