Hii Guys <<

i wanted to know if Honor 5X support Multi-Window or Split-Screen ( just like in the picture below ) and how to use it ??​

I don't know if it's in stock, but most marshmallow ROMs have this sort of functionality as an option in the Developer Settings menu. It's nowhere near as polished as Samsung's implementation and I can't personally recommend using it, though.

Stock does not appear to have this option available... at least not on my Honor 5x, L24


you aren't missing anything... it's a nearly useless feature in the manner 'stock ROM' implements it.

I found out how to play with the split-screen/multi-windows feature !

Implementation is not as good as the Samsung's one, but it works.

With Marshmallow, you simply need to do a long press on the square virtual button and your display will be split in 2 parts, then choose the apps you want to run.

You're on stock I assume? I just tried this on CM13 and it had a different effect. On CM13 it opens your "previous" app in from the background. It's actually pretty nifty for going back and forth between two apps.

Yes, this is with stock !

CM13 is CM13 and it has its own implementation.

Very nice. Too bad there's so few supported apps.

In fact it works the same way with stock :

- Short press on the square virtual key to get "previous" apps.
- long press for multi-windows.

There is an option for additional apps in the Applications settings, but I can't remember where...

Nope, it's different. On CM13:
- Short press: Cards view of previous apps
- Long press: Open previous app (no choice/selection, it just opens your previous app)

Interesting. It would be nice to be able to scroll Windows in a revolving cube view sort of like with Nova Launcher.
