Verizon removed some apps from the split screen multi-task bar? Can anyone confirm?

I found it. I noticed he was rooted with a custom recovery.
David Valliant35 answered the topic best. By being able to open app within an app.

Whoops

I thought the topic creator was just referring to the apps not being on the multi task bar. I would assume you can still use youtube an chrome within the app drawer, right?

Yeah, from what I understand those apps just aren't available for multi-tasking/split window, but are still available from the app drawer.

So root is the way, as it always is.

When updating my Verizon Apps app, it notified me it will no longer be supporting apps after a certain date (may be late 2012 or early 2013)

I am assuming we will have to wait for an update to get pushed to these apps.

I believe that this is incorrect. An app update (without a system update) can add support for MultiView. This recently happened with the book reader I use. My Multiview menu shows all the standard Verizon apps as well as Moon+ Reader Pro. (https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...s?id=com.flyersoft.moonreaderp&token=h78McJ8N). If a small developer can add support, I assume Google and other developers can as well.

My International unlocked GN2 has Chrome, twitter, facebook, maps, gmail and more...it is a stock, international phone. I am testing Straight Talk with it. I went and bought the VZW unit yesterday and was floored that they removed support for those apps. Added a lot of bloatware. I am taking back the VZW unit tomorrow.
