Step 2: Modify the “build.prop” file in the system directory
Once you have downloaded your preferred root-enabled file manager, open it and grant it SuperUser permission.

From the root directory, access the “System” folder and make sure that the directory is mounted as read/write (Mount R/W).Step 3: Use the hidden Multi-Window mode in Android Marshmallow
