Sprint Note 2 Multi-window update available in the next 5 days!!!

Meh.

I have the multi-window on my International and it's pretty disappointing... not the functionality itself, but rather there's only a small subset of apps that can be used. The number of apps available is locked down to a small number of preinstalled apps and there's no way to add other apps to it.

Hopefully the number of apps and the ability to add Play Store apps to the multiwindow will happen over time, but right now it's pretty much more form over function, IMO.

To most of us this Multi-Window experience is so new we think it's great.
I think I have seen that there has been a hack (for lack of a better word) for this so you can use other apps. I have not tried it or looked to deep into it yet.

Lateck,

I too tried, but I was Rooted and I did delete a few programs that the update needed.....:eek:
So I had to return to stock and then update.... :D
(Now I'll have to wait for a new root for this update)
But, anyways, I like the new update!!!

Lateck,
My very first thought when I saw root was....dang return to stock; I see you did. :thumbup:

There is a mod that lets you use any app in multi view.

Okay...I couldn't wait.
I installed the update and it's pure awesomeness. :)
Yay you!!! :D
