Adding Dual Window Apps without ROOT

xperiacle · Aug 29, 2014

Hello G3 users,

I am trying to figure out a way to add Dual Window or Multiwindow apps without root. It is possible on Samsung multiwindow so I got curious to know if it was also possible on LG G3 as well. So I decompiled a few stock LG apps and I discovered some metadata for multiwindow so I figured I make a test app with those metadata and test if it would work - that is if it would add itself to the dual window list on unrooted G3. I don't have a G3 and I would glad to make a guide on how to do it if the test app works. Below is a test app with the multiwindow metadata. I appreciate any feedback. THANKS.

I have Samsung but i tested your app on euro LG G3 (4.4.2 v10h-EUR-XX) in local store and it works perfectly

App is added to dual window list.

Ps.

anybody tried this with a verizon version of the lg g3?
if so how do we get to move the apps you wanna use

danblackracing · Oct 7, 2014

Anyone have any test results on this? I am curious if this is possible because I had a fantastic rooted/tweaked S3 and switched to a LG G3. I miss being able to add ANY app to multi-window!!!

I would love this for the T-Mobile LG G3. I would be willing to test your next build. I will most likely be rooted before the end of today.

DeBoX · Oct 13, 2014

Anyone still working on this?

Not that keen on rooting my phone just yet, but would love to expand the multi window support...

Robbyzbot · Oct 21, 2014

So how do you use the app? What happenes after you click hello world? Also is this process reversible if for some reason I need to uninstall it?

Destielle · Nov 3, 2014

I can confirm this works on my unrooted T-Mobile LG G3. It would be nice to add this feature for the unrooted users

DeBoX · Nov 7, 2014

Anyone working on this?

Btw there was a similar solution for samsung multi windows ( i.e expanding MW support , w/o root)

Just figured I'd mention it

launching apps

Hi! Thank you for the test app.
Maybe a way to continue this bypass is: instead of display a "Hello world" message, to launch desired app using URL schemes. Anybody knows how to modify the test app to do this? I think this could be the answer we are looking for!

Works for me!

This worked perfectly for my unrooted LG G3 on At&T. I would also love to know how to add this functionality to other apps. Awesome that you figured it out!
