Root [Verizon] Multi-window function gone after rooting

jbloggs2002 · Nov 13, 2013

I didn't install a ROM, just rooted, but now there's no sign of the multi-window option.

Not sure of the multi window function as I don't use it, but will it appear if you long press the "back" button?

jbloggs2002 · Nov 13, 2013

No, and the option on the status bar is gone. Nothing in settings either.

What method did you use to root?

jbloggs2002 · Nov 13, 2013

Frankly not sure, it involved odin. When I boot, I get an unlocked icon

Was it something similar to this?:
[GUIDE] Root for Jelly Bean 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 OTA ***UPDATED 5/29*** - xda-developers

What android version are you on now?
The reason I ask, is perhaps after the root process, it downgraded your JB version to a version that does not have multi-window? Just a thought.

I don't remember what version multi window was in :hmmmm:

That looks familiar. I'm on 4.1.2, which I thought has multi window

Mikestony · Nov 13, 2013

Yeah, I think you are correct that 4.1.2 has the multi window option.
But odd that it disappeared when you only rooted :confused:

Well, I'm not sure of an answer for you other than flash a rom such as CleanRom or another TW based rom.
