How to Enable Multi-Window on Android M! [Nexus 5/ Nexus 6/ Nexus 9]

Check out the video below!

Android M was just announced a few days ago, but Google forgot to mention the hidden feature, multi-window! Yes, Android M comes with built in multi-window all you need to do is enable it. Since Android M is currently only available for the Nexus 5, Nexus 6, and Nexus 9 devices this guide will work if one of those devices is running on an Android M Preview build. 

While Android M is still months away from being officially announced to the public and multi-window isn't a true "official" feature the multi-window feature still works. However, I have experienced a few bugs with multi-window, but it's still 100% usable!

Remember your supported Nexus device muct have Android M Preview installed on it! 
How to install Android M Preview on Nexus 5
How to install Android M Preview on Nexus 6

Follow the guide below to enable multi-window on Android M: Supports Nexus 5, Nexus 6, and Nexus 9.

1. Power off your device. Then press and hold the volume down and power button at the same time until you see a green "Start" on the screen.

2. Plug in your phone via microUSB to your computer.

3. Download AndroidMPreviewMultiWindow.zip using the download link below!
Download AndroidMPreviewMultiWindow.zip

4. Unzip the file you downloaded in step 3 and move the folder to your desktop!!

5. Open Command Prompt if your running on Windows or Terminal if your on Mac/Linux/Ubuntu. 

Depending on if you are running on Windows, Mac, or Linux/Ubuntu and what device you have follow the directions below!

Type in the commands and press enter after each line. 

Windows:

    Nexus 5:
    cd Desktop
    cd AndroidMPreviewMultiWindow
    fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.1-hammerhead.img

    Nexus 6:
    cd Desktop
    cd AndroidMPreviewMultiWindow
    fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-shamu.img

    Nexus 9: 
    cd Desktop
    cd AndroidMPreviewMultiWindow
    fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-flounder.img

Mac:

    cd Desktop
    cd AndroidMPreviewMultiWindow
    ./fastboot-mac flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.1-hammerhead.img

    Nexus 6: 
    cd Desktop
    cd AndroidMPreviewMultiWindow
    ./fastboot-mac flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-shamu.img

    Nexus 9:
    cd Desktop
    cd AndroidMPreviewMultiWindow
    ./fastboot-mac flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-flounder.img

Linux/Ubuntu: 

    Nexus 5:
    cd Desktop
    cd AndroidMPreviewMultiWindow
    ./fastboot-linux flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.1-hammerhead.img

    Nexus 6: 
    cd Desktop
    cd AndroidMPreviewMultiWindow
    ./fastboot-linux flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-shamu.img

    Nexus 9: 
    cd Desktop
    cd AndroidMPreviewMultiWindow
    ./fastboot-linux flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-flounder.img

6. Now on your device press the volume down until you see "Recovery mode" and then press the power button. You will now be entered into TWRP Recovery.

7. Select "Mount" > check mark "System" and then press the home button. Remember to still keep your phone plugged into your computer.

8. Go back to the open Command Prompt/Terminal window and type in these commands. Press enter after each line. 

Windows: 
adb pull /system/build.prop

Mac:
./adb-mac pull /system/build.prop

Linux/Ubuntu: 
./adb-linux pull /system/build.prop

9. Open  the folder called, AndroidMPreviewMultiWindow. This is the folder you extracted in step 4.

10. In this folder you will now see a file called "build.prop". Open it up using a text editor. I recommend Notepad++ for Windows and TextEdit for Mac.

11. Find the line "ro.build.type=user" and change it to "ro.build.type=userdebug". Now save the file.

12. Go back to Command Prompt or Terminal and type in these commands. Press enter after the end of each line. 

Windows: 
adb push build.prop /system/
adb shell
cd system 
chmod 644 build.prop

Mac: 
./adb-mac push build.prop /system/
./adb-mac shell
cd system 
chmod 644 build.prop

Linux: 
./adb-linux push build.prop /system/
./adb-linux shell
cd system 
chmod 644 build.prop

13. Now go back to your device and select "Reboot" > "System". If TWRP asks you to install SuperSU select "Do Not Install". 

14. Your device will now boot up like normal, but now you will have multi-window enabled! Don't worry if you get a warning screen with "invalid boot img", your device will still boot up.

15. Your done. Open a few apps, select the recents button, and then tap on the black square to multi-window the apps!

How to Install Android M Preview on Nexus 5!

Check out the video below!

Android M Preview is out for the Nexus 5! Android M Preview brings a lot of enhancements that Lollipop lacks in like the ability to control app permissions, extreme battery saver mode, and even the option to backup app data! Android M Preview just about fixes everything that was lacking in Lollipop, just like what happened with KitKat and JellyBean. Luckily for people like us who want to try out the latest Android version, Google has released Android M Preview that allows us to experience Android M!

Remember, Android M Preview is a PREVIEW build. It is not an official build. Do not use Android M Preview as a daily driver until you have tested it in a controlled environment. I have been using Android M for the past few hours and it is pretty stable, but your experience may differ!

Note: This will wipe your phone, backup any important information before continuing!!

Follow the guide below to install Android M Preview on Nexus 5!

1. Power off the Nexus 5 then press and hold the power button and volume down button at the same time.

2. You should now see a green "Start" on the screen.
