How to Enable Multi-Window on Android M! [Nexus 5/ Nexus 6/ Nexus 9]

Check out the video below!

Android M was just announced a few days ago, but Google forgot to mention the hidden feature, multi-window! Yes, Android M comes with built in multi-window all you need to do is enable it. Since Android M is currently only available for the Nexus 5, Nexus 6, and Nexus 9 devices this guide will work if one of those devices is running on an Android M Preview build. 

While Android M is still months away from being officially announced to the public and multi-window isn't a true "official" feature the multi-window feature still works. However, I have experienced a few bugs with multi-window, but it's still 100% usable!

Remember your supported Nexus device muct have Android M Preview installed on it!

6. Now on your device press the volume down until you see "Recovery mode" and then press the power button. You will now be entered into TWRP Recovery.

7. Select "Mount" > check mark "System" and then press the home button. Remember to still keep your phone plugged into your computer.

8. Go back to the open Command Prompt/Terminal window and type in these commands. Press enter after each line.

adb pull /system/build.prop

./adb-mac pull /system/build.prop

Linux/Ubuntu: 
./adb-linux pull /system/build.prop

9. Open  the folder called, AndroidMPreviewMultiWindow. This is the folder you extracted in step 4.

10. In this folder you will now see a file called "build.prop". Open it up using a text editor. I recommend Notepad++ for Windows and TextEdit for Mac.

11. Find the line "ro.build.type=user" and change it to "ro.build.type=userdebug". Now save the file.

12. Go back to Command Prompt or Terminal and type in these commands. Press enter after the end of each line. 

Windows: 
adb push build.prop /system/
adb shell
cd system 
chmod 644 build.prop

Mac: 
./adb-mac push build.prop /system/
./adb-mac shell
cd system 
chmod 644 build.prop

Linux: 
./adb-linux push build.prop /system/
./adb-linux shell
cd system 
chmod 644 build.prop

13. Now go back to your device and select "Reboot" > "System". If TWRP asks you to install SuperSU select "Do Not Install". 

14. Your device will now boot up like normal, but now you will have multi-window enabled! Don't worry if you get a warning screen with "invalid boot img", your device will still boot up.

15. Your done. Open a few apps, select the recents button, and then tap on the black square to multi-window the apps!

How To Add Double Tap To Wake on Rooted Nexus 6!

Check Out The Video Below!

The double tap to wake feature on the LG G3 was a great choice and a very handy feature, I personally use it everyday. Luckily for anyone who owns a Nexus 6 can now get the same great feature on their own device! 

If you didn't know, some code within the Nexus 6 software suggested that the double tap to wake feature was going to be added, but at this point they still haven't enabled this feature even though all the necessary parts are ready to go! 

Unfortunately this double tap to wake feature isn't as responsive as the one that LG has made. If you want the double tap to wake feature to work consistently on the Nexus 6 then do not double tap too quickly or it will not work, with a little bit of practice you'll be set! 

Remember your Nexus 6 MUST be rooted, if it isn't follow this root guide first!

Follow the step-by-step guide below to enable double tap to wake on the Nexus 6!

1. Go into Settings > Security > and enable "Unknown sources". 

2. Download N6DoubleTapWake.v1.2.apk using the download link below. 
Download N6DoubleTapWake.v1.2.apk

3. Navigate to where it was saved using a file manager app. By default it will be saved in the "Download" folder.

4. Tap on N6DoubleTapWake.v1.2.apk, choose "INSTALL", and lastly select "OPEN". 

5. Immediately after opening the app you will get a Superuser request, select "GRANT". 

6. The app should automatically activate the double tap, but if is doesn't simply tap on "ACTIVATE" and you're done! 

It's that simple! Your Nexus 6 now has double tap to wake, enjoy! Remember not to double tap too quickly or it won't work!

How to Enable Immersive Mode on any Android App! [Root]

Check Out The Video Below!

With devices like the Nexus 5, Nexus 4, Moto X, and others that have software keys it's great since you can modify them to your advantage, but sometimes they just get in the way. They take up screen real-estate when you need it all. There are many times when I wish both the status bar and the software keys would just disappear, luckily for us Google has created a nice way to do that with certain apps. 

However not all apps are enabled to give you immersive mode (fullscreen). Luckily for us we can now enable "Immersive Mode" on any Android application, even the launcher if you want. While with MOD works with just about every rooted Android device it doesn't make much sense using it on an Android device like the Galaxy S5.

The Galaxy S5 doesn't have software keys and only has a small status bar that may get in the way from time to time. Devices that include software keys is where this MOD will make a true difference. 

Follow the guide below on how to enable Immersive Mode on any Android app using your rooted Android device.

1. Go into Settings > Security > and check mark Unknown sources.

2. Download Xposed Framework and ForceImmersiveMode_2.1.1.apk directly to your phone using the download links below. 
Download Xposed Framework
Download ForceImmersiveMode_2.1.1.apk

3. Using a file manager app locate the Xposed Framework APK, tap on it, and install it. It will be located in your "Download" folder by default. 

4. Open up Xposed Installer and tap on Framework > Install/Update > and grant Superuser Request when asked. Then tap on Ok to reboot your phone.

5. Open up the file manager app again and locate ForceImmersiveMode_2.1.1.apk. Tap on it and install. 

6. Now go back to the Xposed Installer app and tap on Modules. Check mark Force Immersive Mode. 

7. Go into the Force Immersive Mode app and select which apps you want to be enabled for Immersive Mode, tap on Save, and reboot. 

Once rebooted the selected apps will automatically have Immersive Mode enabled when you launch each app. Enjoy using the entire screen of your phone!
