Oh man, the new interface is killing me. Also, the start up the floating window function from the window pen manager is missing results the process of call out the multiple floating windows is indirect and SUCK big time.

I can't comprehend what you're trying to say sweat.gif

Sorry, my explanation is suck. In Note3, once you pull out the S pen from your phone there is air command pop up with the selection of:
1. Action Memo
2. Scrapbook
3. Screen write
4. S Finder
5. Pen window

This time the pen window function has been eliminated from the air command. Example: i am reading email and i need to do calculation based on the data from email, with Note 3 i can call out a floating window for calculator or unit convertor via this pen window function in the air command. I will not disturb my email at all to minimize the email screen. Also, i can read any new message from Whatsapp or hangout or others by pull out the messager apps from this pen window w/o disturbing the emails screen.

Perhaps i am yet fully understand the new multi-windows funtions on Note4.

you can call out floating window by tapping the apps on the multiwindow sidebar.
call out the multiwindow side bar with press and hold the back button.

the multiwindow sidebar has two function now:
1) create two window apps by tap and drag
2) floating window by just tapping the apps

similiar with one of the mulitiwindow feature in expose modeules.

Actuall i think this is more user friendly and you still can call out floating window apps with0ut closing/minimize existing apps

Got it and excellent! I just learn it from the video that Thelightside sharing just now. It seem I need to sit down and read all the articles about its functions. Also i need to watch all the videos first before complaining.... Sorry sorry..

I think the software itself is very much improvement from the previous Note. Start to adopt its little bit different functionality. Only not really like its white color background interface.

I had been declared a Samseng fag in ip6 thread just because I mentioned this Note4 UI is smoother
That forumer ask me to go back to my cave
And here he said he want to buy Note4
Some guys simply unbearable

Pity of you that stuck in between. If ifag keep emphazesing the smoothness but i feel it is nothing threat to Note 4 now as Note4 is about the same smoothness. They are no more bullets to shoot to Sansung and the coming days Apple will follow what Note product bringing to customer such as big screen 5.5" 2 years ago, multiple windows 1 year ago.

Ifag are still not accepting the fact that Note4 is much better than iphone6 in term or functionality. The fact will be realized by ifag after 2 years after Apple also come out similar multiple windows concept, i-pen and so on which Note series also invented to this Samsung Phoblet few years ago.

I think when u open the app and never close it. It is automatically added to the multi window
*
I dont understand it. Please can you explain how to do it. What i notice that the multi window tray will not allow 3rd party apps to be added... the 3rd party apps will not be allowed by the system to be changed from full screen to floating window if we pull the screen top right angle to center of the screen. Hopefully you can understand what i mean.

U havent use Note before I presume
Samsung dont allow 3rd party apps to be added to multi window ..... Chatting apps like Whatsapp , Line are added as default apps for that reason since a lot of ppl use it yet cant add to multi window unless u root your phone and install some apps that allows you to edit your multi windows apps to add in 3rd party apps as well . I doubt they change the policy in Note 4
*
Yes. This is what i did for my Note3. All 3rd party apps can be added into the pen windows by using apps software called pen windows manager for my Note3. Unfortunately, I dont think I will trigger knox to do that for Note4. My Note3 is still knox0 till today with root condition.

there is a apps to help you enable multiwindow/floating window for not support third party without root:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...ow.enable&hl=en
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647892

This apps make for note 3. I try it and it work with note 4 also.

The down side of this is you loose auto update of the apps in play store (the apps being recompile to enable multiwindow support) and system apps dont work. you could read the xda post above for detail explanation.
*
Thanks bro. I will try it tonight. Can you provide quick guide also?

Please discard my request and i just read the instruction from XDA forum.

Haha well I don't really have the use for those features under root. In fact my note 2 wasn't root since day one until today. It was stock all the way.

Me too feeling the same last time. I dont think now rooting phone is important unless we want to do a lot development on the phone system. Different people different desires.

It does not mean development. It simply gives you an extra dose of freedom, since the hardware has more capability which you unlock with rooting.
*
Yes. You are right. Root phone is to open door for system to tweak the system. Anyway not my cup of tea as has bad experience before eventually my phone need to send to SC.
