It packs tons of features making the Android experience amazing (as if it wasn\u2019t already!). Only a few devices have received the nougat update, though, which is a bummer since Nougat has so much to offer.<\/p>\n<p>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gadgetbytenepal.com\/top-7-android-7-0-nougat-you-should-know-about\/\" target=\"_blank\">Top Android 7.0 Nougat features<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-rec td-a-rec-id-content_inline  \"><\/div>\n<p>One of the major features of Android Nougat has to be the split-screen support. Samsung\u2019s and LG\u2019s flagship device users have known this feature for quite some time, though. Browsing through Facebook while watching a YouTube video or reading an article on Gadgetbyte Nepal while going through your Instagram feed does sound fun.<\/p>\n<p>I know we can install Custom ROMs and get this feature, but not everyone likes Custom ROMs (me included). So today, I will be explaining an easy way to get the Multi-window mode in your <strong>Marshmallow running devices<\/strong>. For this mode to work, <strong>you will have to root your Android phone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WON\u2019T BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR DEVICE GETS BRICKED WHEN YOU ROOT IT.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here are some requirements to enable multi-window mode on Android:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>rooted device running on Android 6.0.x Marshmallow<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>BuildProp Editor app from Google play store<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a class=\"vc_btn vc_btn-black vc_btn-sm vc_btn_square \" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor&amp;hl=en\">Download BuildProp Editor here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now, follow these instructions carefully and you\u2019ll be good to go.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the newly installed <strong>BuildProp Editor <\/strong>app and grant it root access.
