Split Screen on s3?

[funkylogik]

So we're gettin it but do you think youll use it and for what?
Im thinkin a youtube playlist while tapatalkin

 

[dan55]

good question - all depends how well it works i guess - will have to play with it doing different tasks and see how it goes

 

[silentwitness]

i have been using it for chatting on whatsapp which surfing the net

 

[SUroot]

I've been using it. For things like checking spellings on the internet and things like that.

I'd love it if photobucket was supported. Would make posting images here much easier

 

[dan55]

hi SU,

is it quite limited with number of supported apps then?
i just assumed that it would work for all :/

cheers
dan

 

[SUroot]

That's the only app that doesn't work for me but I've used a mod that opens other apps up. Not sure if officially its only samsung apps/

 

[dan55]

ah ok - is that a rom flash type mod?

i think this could be a very cool and useful feature

 

[SUroot]

Yes it is. Ill hook you up if you ever come to the dark side...

 

[naviwilliams]

Split screen? This is a pending option or is it already available via Jelly Bean?

 

[SUroot]

Samsung released it in all their builds based on the android 4.1.2 platform

 

[dan55]

what is app at the top? looks like notification bar, but what are the notifications? tapatalk

 

[SUroot]

Tapatalk yeah

 

[dan55]

do you recommend it? does it fill up the notification area all the time ?
cheers

 

[SUroot]

I don't know what you mean by fill up the notification area. As per the screenshot, you can still see my status bar at the top.

 

[dan55]

doh! silly me - sorry - yes i can see it now - the top part of your screen looked like notification bar...almost....to the unobservant

 

[SUroot]

Oh ok. No just tapatalk with the dark theme

Anyway we digress

You use Gmail for gossip?

 

[naviwilliams]

What button or function does one perform to get split screen?

Thanks.

 

[SUroot]

Once its enabled in the menu (Settings > Display > Multiwindow), you long hold the back key.

 

[naviwilliams]

Thanks. But, I have the latest Jelly Bean from AT&T, and yet don't have that option in 'Display'.

Odd, no?

Not odd. Only International GT-i9300 has Android 4.1.2 and then Only in Poland.

AT&T are 4.1.1

AT&T are 4.1.1

I'm on AT&T but I'm running AOKP with JB version 4.1.2 and I don't have it

I have been looking for a multiwindow rom for a couple of days now, hook me up with it, PM with the link.



Thanks!

AOKP is based on google code.

Multi Window is a Samsung invention so it can only be had by using Samsung Touchwiz roms. It just so happens that samsung builds based on android 4.1.2 are the first to receive this new feature.
