Samsung Galaxy Split Screen Dual Accounts

Android Guide

Let me begin by saying I do not own a Xiaomi phone and these phones can do it too by a different way; however, I am using my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (SM-N960F) model as an example for this guide.

For spoofing, you must have a Compatible Android Phone for either Smali Patcher or Systemized spoofing method. If you ask about how to set root or setup spoofing method, your comment will be deleted.

For split screen, you must have:

  • Samsung Galaxy Phone
  • Android 8.0 Oreo or 9.0 Pie for Good Lock from the Galaxy App Store
  • At least 6" screen with 1080p screen resolution or more
  • 4 GB ram, minimum (not confirm); 6 GB ram, recommended; 8 GB ram (or more), best

What can you do?

  • Snipe the same Pokemon to both accounts.
  • Catch the same Pokemon.
  • Spin Pokestops.
  • Trade with yourself.
  • PvP (trainer battle) yourself.

Issues:

  • Even with my 6.4" screen at 1440p resolution, the two games does not scale correctly in portrait and landscape mode. I have trouble with opening the Pokeball menu and selecting a different item on the catch screen. It takes a few taps before it registers.
  • Raid battles is a hit or miss. Sometimes I start the raid fine and complete the raid. Sometimes I start the raid but one app freezes then I lose one raid ticket.
  • Performance drops when the phone starts to get hot and will cause one or both apps to freeze/crash. It takes about 30 - 45 minutes for this to start happening.
  • Cannot use one Gotcha device for two active accounts and also cannot use two Gotcha devices to one phone either.
  • Renaming Pokemon with two apps on at the same time may cause one app to crash.
  • Galaxy Note specific problem is the S pen is not supported and does not work in both apps.

How to set up:

Step 1: Download Good Lock and Pokemon GO from Galaxy Store App.

  • You have two Pogo apps with one from Google Play Store and one from Galaxy Store App; they look identical.

Step 2: Download all modules with the Good Lock app.

Step 3: Open MultiStar and enable both:

  • Use Multi window without pausing
  • Enable multi window to all apps

Step 4 (optional): Turn off Navigation Bar for on screen gesture (swipe for back, menu, and multi-task buttons) for more screen real estate.

Step 5 (optional): Set up your spoofing location.

Step 6: Open both PoGo apps and allow the usual stuff.

Step 7: Press or swipe up for the multi-task button.

Step 8: Drag the PoGo app to the top to put it in multi-window mode then the other PoGo app will enter split screen mode automatically.

Step 9: Congratulations, you did it!

Recommendations:

  • If you are going to battle or raid, I suggest you run one app for the whole screen then have the other app running in the background so your phone does not get hot too fast or have an app crash.
  • Let the phone cool down when it starts to get hot.

great guide!

Here are some additions:

What can you do?

  • Make friends, useful for quest "make new friend", just remove and reclaim friendship.
  • Raid always with your bestfriend to get more balls
  • Fight in a gym with much more power and getting less damage.
  • Photobombing two accounts at the same time.

Issues:

  • This issue of missing raid battle is more related to network problems than dual accounts. If I can join the raid, I can complete.
  • Two Gotchas may work with two accounts, but it is a pain to get them connected at all.
  • I never noticed a performance drop on my Xiaomi, but crashes may occur. The same crashes do happen on my legit single account smartphone!

How to set up:

You may use the built in feature (samsung and xiaomi) to use dual apps (working folder). But you have to manage the google accounts seperately for both working folders. Xiaomi can start 4 accounts and have two active, while samsung should be able to have all four accounts active. Both brands support also an alternate profile.

regarding good lock: outside USA you may need multistar and nice lock.

Hi Pogoit, thank you and everyone else for posting. It seems we all have experience here with this skill. Pogoit you said "Two Gotchas may work with two accounts, but it is a pain to get them connected at all" I have never had a successful trial. It appears as everyone else here hasn't been able to get it to work either. Have you got this to work before? Keeping in mind we are talking about two gotchas connected to split screen or one gotcha connected controlling both. If you have got it to work could you please post how you did it and why it worked. I currently have 2 gotchas with different IDs. Thanks pogoit and whoever else has information about this.

I started with a pogo-plus years ago and switched later to gotcha. It always felt like lucky to get it connecting.

When I succesfully connected, I was in a room with no other bluetooth devices. After the first gotcha connected, I put it some distance and the second connected.

Multistar crashes frequently for me. Anyone got any solution to restart it? Sometimes it can restart after a while, but sometimes I need to restart the app

Maybe you have to email them about the problem because I am not the developer of the app, so I cannot help you.

Lol. I know you are not. I am just asking for any personal experience from users

What is the difference of using this method and just running two pogos using secure folder? I'm running two accounts at the same time, one by normal way and the second running the secure folder. I split the screen in two by the usual method provided by the phone and do all this things. The only negative points I see atm are the buttons that don't function properly (like try to use an incense) and that one instance gets paused when the other is active, but I change between them with a simple tap in the screen. Btw, today I was playing like this for about two hours without any perceptible overheating on my phone. I'm playing in a S9+.

I have never used secure folder before because I don't have a need to hide stuff on my phone. You would have to try it, since I'm rooted and using a custom rom. I'm assuming you are not rooted.

Yes, I'm non rooted. :)

Rooted:

  • No Samsung Pay
  • No Secure Folder, but you can add it through using a Custom Rom or flashing some files
  • No over the air Samsung phone updates. If you want to update your phone, you have manually do it each time then root your phone again.
  • Voids warranty.
  • You can spoof by Smali Patcher or Systemized method

No Root:

  • Samsung Pay works
  • Secure Folder works
  • Forced Samsung phone updates
  • Still have warranty until it expires
  • No spoofing.

Oh, i got it, this is for rooted phones. I wasn't aware that I lose access to the secure folder in rooted phone's.

Thanks for the explanations ! :D

Apparently it works again in the latest version of PoGo, I'll try it out once I am at home.

Multistar only works for android versions 8.1 and above, so s7 users running 8.0 are out of luck.
