How to Enable Multi-Window mode on Xperia phone running Marshmallow

Earlier when Google announced Android M at Google I/O 2015, multi-window mode was spotted in the earlier developer preview images released which was not seen in the final release of Android Marshmallow on devices.

It looks like a simple tweak in the build.prop file of your Xperia smartphone running Android 6.0 Marshmallow will enable Multi-Window mode on your device.

How to Enable Multi-Window mode on Xperia phone

Before proceeding make sure your Xperia device is running Android 6.0+ Marshmallow and is rooted.

Do make a backup of your current build.prop file.

1. Using any root file manager navigate to system/build.prop
2. Find “ro.build.type” (it must be written as re.build.type=user)
3. Replace the “user” to “userdebug“
4. Save and reboot
5. After rebooting, go to developer settings > drawing category and then “Enable Multi-Window”.

Now you can use multi-window feature on your Xperia device.
