Multi window Pop-up question - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi,
The main thing I love the Galaxy Notes is the multi-window feature. Especially the pop-up window option.
I've had a chance to try out the Note 8. Apparently the pop-up multi-window feature give you a small pop-up window with every item in the app still being very large like it was full screen (large font, large buttons, ... the same thing Windows computers do when you make an app smaller). My old Note 3 gives you a pop-up window which actually make every aspect of the app look smaller. I hope I'm making myself clear.
Is there a way to get that Note 3 scaling effect on the pop-up multi-window feature of the Note 8?
This is what a pop-up on the Note 3 looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is what it looks like on the Note 8:
Thanks!

I think what you're looking for is in Settings / advanced options / multiwindow.

No I don't think you've understood my question.
I know the Note 8 has the option for multiwindow, but I want to know if there's an app or xposed module or whatever available to scale down the pop-up windows like it was on the Note 3.

Sure, that's what I mean, there's the option to rescale windows

that's not what he means.
on old Samsung phones that function would shrink the window as-is, so the app would still draw as if it's fullscreen while it's actually shrunken down to a quarter of its normal size.
this would result in smaller buttons and text.
on newer Samsung phones the app is informed that the resolution has changed, allowing it to adjust.
this can cause apps to reload when resizing them, and buttons and text don't shrink.
unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to revert to the old behavior.

Thanks for that, then I guess the Note 8 isn't for me then
Any idea if there are other phones who do that?

What app have you found that doesn't re-size? Whatsapp, for example, shrinks nicely. Messages, all shrinks.. The screenshot you posted of the Note 8 is not what my phone looks like.

Could you maybe post a screenshot of how it looks on your Note 8?

Here... Not the best, but you can see Google drive has resized.

I've edited your screenshot. Look at the red box.
If you maximize that app to full screen, is the stuff in the red box bigger or the same size?

Ok, correct. That bit doesn't change. The rest does, the plus button and the other text, but not the top.

That's what I mean. And if you open up a window and scale it down to the smallest size possible, those buttons and text can really get in your way (depending on the app).
On the Note 3 those buttons actually scale down as well.

Fingers crossed for an update then! I like the feature but I can understand why it's annoying, but it's not bothering me too much.

I highly doubt this will get updated. It's been like that in all the latest Galaxy phones. It's Android's implementation of multi-window. It saves Samsung a lot of time and money not having to code that stuff themself.
So if the community doesn't come up with some kind of mod, this won't change.

That's a shame then. The apps I like to use in popup do work nicely, I love having the notes pop up floating so I can just quickly use it during the day.

Is there an app or mod to allow all the apps to the multi-window view? Because out of the box not all the apps are supported ...

Don't need an app like you did with LL & MM, there's a setting in Developer Options now but like in the past, doesn't mean all unsupported apps will work/resize fine when forced.

Release of SMSCatcher, with source code. No skins attached...

Thanks to a few people in my FSD Call Capturer thread, I've started thinking about a possible SMS interceptor with a more finger freindly design. I've already got the hard part coded (as in, I can capture the SMS messages) but I have no graphics talent of my own, and I'm not that inventive, so, who wants to give me some ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Source code is in post 41 and post 42.
Id like to see a Full screen contact photo with incoming SMS. Thanks!
Hi L3v5y,
1) if it's posisble disable the system notification.
2) Make an apps who show the sms and 2 or 3 button (Reply, Delete, Close).
I think it's a good idea but you are the dev..
ok here is what i would try to do if i knew how 2
1.Have a pic of the contact shown on the left side of the screen next to the number it came from
2. a scrollable box to show the message received
3. a empty text box at the bottom for quickreply
4. button for dismiss/delete(When clicked would ask if you wish to delete)
5.Button from full reply(in case you want to add pics or clipart)
have it time out after 10 or so sec of screen not being touched
see drawing for a very ruff image of what i'm picturing(keep in mind i'm no graphic artist and did this in about 2min at work using MS paint)
Something like this...?
{

Great Work Oseven...
Made it with 3 button...
Grodimn :
No text box.... for send mesend message... because where is your keyboard....?????
I Think only for read message and if you click to reply your "normal sms writer are open "
Sorry for my english....
Maybe a combination of Osevens and Grondinms ideas? As in you tap a button to go to the reply screen.
Unfortunately, transperency is difficult to achieve without serious processor usage (that, and I don't know how!)
So, I could do something like that, but it draws a backgound image (customisable, of course) and then has the message icon infront with text. Then, have two or three buttons (reply, delete, mark as read etc) and an auto close function. If the reply is pressed, a screen like Grondinms pops up (although bare in mind there would have to be space for the SIP)
You can disable the SMS notifications under Start->settings->Sounds and Notifiactions, but I could maybe do a config app for that...

Neither. I tried it yesterday and although it's a great app it's just too slow, which is why I suggested what I did as it takes one of the things from it that I liked but won't slow the system as much.

Post Your Honeycomb Home Screen!

Although we do not yet have access to a screen shot application, it's time to start the inevitable Home Screen thread.
EDIT: A screen shot application has been created, free for XDA users, find the apk in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995443
I took a shot of my screen with my trusty G2, sorry for the lack of quality.
By using Bettercut, I was able to use custom icons and remove the labels.
Thanks to jfritz2 @androidforums (link here: http://androidforums.com/t-mobile-mytouch-3g/187204-icons-cyanogenmod-icon-pack-2-18-11-a.html )
I placed my icons on the left and right edges of the screen, given that 99% of the time I am using the Xoom in landscape, allowing easy access with my thumbs.

I've found that Desktop Visualizer absolutely works with Honeycomb, although it's not available through the market yet. If you can find a copy of the app, you'll find it allows for custom sizes for icons and images placed on the homescreen.
UPDATED:
Using ADW EX, Desktop Visualizer, Widgetsoid, BW, and Pulse, along with some stock widgets.
The device pics take me directly to the XDA Forum for each applicable device

What toggle widget is that?
A few other things to note...
When searching for icons, I recommend using 256x256 pngs, the standard icons do not scale well in Bettercut or DV. You'll notice that although the icons are 1x1, they are scaled larger when removing the labels.
As for the wallpaper, I'm sure ou noticed my lack of originality. The truth is, I love this wallpaper. I use it as the wallpaper on my Honeycomb themed G2, my laptop and even my Xbox360.

No issues but when I was trying to set it to one screen only, it force closed on me a couple times. Once I got that set, no issues so far. I like the swipe gesture on the application drawer icon. It brings up your last 16 recent apps instead of the 5 limit using the honeycomb one.

I will start with video review of Photo Note feature.
Increasing font size
I would like to add one.
whilst in message mode (writing a text ) use the volume key to increase and decrease the font size, great if you need glasses to read
Plus THIS review has a few pointers
Excellent

Here's one on how to speed up the Note 4...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAXtjgrfgEY
I have this little trick
I used a SGN2 with 3 frotal buttons. Menu--Home--Back.
Anytime I need my screen doesn't turn off I pressed menu button, if the menu appears well I pressed again menu button and screen was still turn on.
Now my SGN4 has this 3 frontal buttons Recent apps--Home--Back
If U use some kind of apps (for previous android versions) you will find that menu is hidden, and not all the time the 3 points menu shows up, then WHERE'S MENU BUTTON?
Well the trick is this
If you PRESS and HOLD "recent apps" button you will activate MENU BUTTON.
Try it
I'm loving the copy text feature of the s-pen. Sweet
Sweet Note 4
SixAxis controller works a charm with any game that supports native android game controller - GTA:SA, RR3, PicaSim are working for me, haven't tried much else.
The note makes for a pretty decent portable gaming platform.
You can register up to 6 fingerprints.
When setting up fingerprint 1, scan a finger 10 times then hit register and scan a different finger for the next ten. Hit done.
Repeat for fingerprint 2 and 3.

OK I hope this makes sense. On my Sprint note 4 you have your screen and then at the bottom you have the captive buttons as well as the physical home button (we all have that) now if you are on your home screen and want to slide to the next screen either right or left.... slide your finger on the black line (bottom of my screen) no matter if its across the whole bar or only part of it. I have attached a pic I got off the net to show what I'm talking about. I hope other carriers have this enabled as is so easy to flip between screens. I've only found it to work on the home screen though.

[APP] SideSqueeze 2.08 - add squeeze gestures to your Note8!

What is SideSqueeze?
SideSqueeze is an innovative and unique app that uses the barometric pressure sensor in your device to detect squeezes and screen presses. It is compatible only with Samsung Galaxy devices from 2017 onwards, although some people have reported varying degrees of success with Pixel devices.
What It Does
SideSqueeze gives your S8/S9/S10 series Galaxy the ability to respond to squeezes, double squeezes, triple squeezes, quadruple squeezes, long squeezes, and/or inertial squeezes, as well as force presses on the screen. For example, you can double squeeze your phone to activate Google Assistant...or maybe you'd like to quadruple squeeze to toggle auto-rotation. And now with Tasker integration, you can even create elaborate tasks to do just about anything and trigger them with any type of squeeze! SideSqueeze's new modular GUI allows you to pick and choose what you want to do with ease.
Features (not all available in trial version)
7 detectable squeeze types (single, double, triple, quadruple, long, long double-squeeze, and inertial)
3 detectable press types (single, long, and 2-finger)
Independently selectable criteria allow you to assign multiple actions to any trigger type (if lockscreen open, if homescreen open, if camera open, if S-Pen detached, if within 5-seconds of power on, if the phone is ringing, if in-call, or if screen is off)
New app picker to launch any app of your choosing
Tasker integration to launch any task of your choosing
Quick Settings tile to toggle detection engine
Wide selection of common actions, such as flashlight toggling, status bar toggling, etc
Adjustable pressure thresholds
Calibration assistant to customize SideSqueeze to your device's unique characteristics
Efficient detection algorithm that is designed to be as lightweight and low-power as possible with no significant impact on battery life
Questions?
See the in-app Help section for answers to commonly asked questions.
Where do I get it?
SideSqueeze 2 is now available on the Play store!

Interesting concept, but I think it's wrong. It's using the touch screen pressure as it's gauge from what testing and results I could fetch.
Correct me if am wrong but I didn't think devices had a sensor for pressure in the reference made out in this app???...

The app detects squeezes by monitoring the barometric pressure sensor inside your sealed device. An algorithm looks for changes of the proper type and magnitude that correspond to squeezing the sides, and an action is performed. Once you learn how to squeeze it, I find it to be reliable. The FAQ (and video clip) describe how best to do it.

Thank you! Yes, I'll be adding that soon.
Please add support for Tasker. It would be nice to be able to configure the squeeze on a per app basis.
I wanted to give it a try, but it says that the early access program is currently full
I have expanded the limit, and am working on bug fixes.
Great app! Can you provide us .apk so we can test on other devices? Play Store says app is not compatible with my SGS7.
I tried it and the squeezing is wildly inconsistent. On top of that it activates even when I'm scrolling the screen with one hand. Great concept, but doesn't work very well sorry.

That doesn't sound normal, and I'm not sure why. I'll let you know if I find anything out. What device/OS are you using?
Amazing... impressive how it work well, I have a note 8 and use the app all day long, no bugs until now.
Please make more options, like turn off the screen and shooting selfies on camera.

It will not work with a case on, as the dev said, it detects slight changes within the frame, which would be absorbed by your case, and thus not transmitted to the body of the phone itself

I like the idea of it, I'm not facing any trouble when I remove my case and SQUEEZE! However, while using the Stand case for the note 8 (made by Samsung) I can't get it to work.
works with cases, just adjust sensitivity. one thing i noticed is that app gets killed quite easily.i have to constantly relaunch it. other than that, i feel like i have a pixel 2!

Question Android chat bubbles option missing in apps on Samsung devices?

Is this a Samsung thing where they intentionally butchered this feature except for in their own messaging app? Floating bubbles is set in the notification settings but when I search for the option in Facebook Messenger, all I get is the option for the crappy chat heads. On my Pixel 6, I can set this option. I even tried copying over the exact apk that is working from the Pixel to the Samsung phone and the option is still not there.
This?

No, the bubbles option. In Settings -> Notifications -> Advanced Settings -> Floating notifications there are 3 options: Off, Bubbles, and the one you have in your screenshot. I am wanting bubbles so that all my conversations across all my apps are grouped together. I have bubbles enabled in that settings menu but the option still doesn't show for me in any app besides Samsung Messages.

Sorry, it's disorienting when you lose your preferred IU... I know.
I hate that interface... so I was happy to ditch it.
Can't even find it now, I may have package disabled it almost 2 years ago.
Not sure if it can do what you want.
Play with it... Samsung's are very customizable.

That particular option does what I want on phones made from different manufacturers. It seems Samsung is blocking it somewhere. I was hoping that someone would have some idea of what package blocks it so I can disable that. Perhaps that is just something that will never work, kind of like visual voicemail in the native phone app on a Samsung deice.
Why not just use Google's Messaging app, which has these features and is also pre-installed?
I couldn't easily see what is Samsung's or Google's Messages App ('Berichten' in Dutch), but both were included with OneUI 4.0. See attached picture: left is Google right is Samsung Messaging. Google allows attachments.

I think you may have misunderstood my meaning. Those apps are the only ones that work with bubbles on my Samsung phone while on other phones I can use other apps with it like Facebook Messenger.

You are right, I didn't understand the Bubble thing. Should have read better. Also I think I mixed up your thread with other in S21 + forum
Haven't tested in OneUI 4, but bubbles for FB Messenger / Signal did work for me back in OneUI 3.
Besides setting Floating notifications - Bubbles, also try FB Messenger - App info - Notifications - Notification categories - Show as bubbles - All / Selected only.
Supported apps also seem to have a little icon in the notification, I assume it allows bubbles for that specific conversation.
