Since 5.0.7, Cyanogen has included an option to display more recent applications in the recent apps popup menu (configurable to 6,9,12,15). This is a feature I would really love to see on the Desire and I think many others would appreciate it.
Would this be a reasonably simple port from the Cyanogen version or would it have to be re-implemented because of Sense? Any Devs willing to help with this?

Hello,
My problem is that I hate HTC's 'brilliant' idea to show recent apps in notification bar. I need to remove it in some way. I have read many threads on the forum but i couldn't find a working solution for my Desire Z. Most of them are dedicated for DHD.
Have anyone managed to get rid of that stupid thing on G2/DZ? I am running on Virtuous rom.
Go to rom manager > download rom > virtuous > modifications (or something like that) then look for power control mod. That will speed up your notification drawer lag and get rid of your recent apps list.

Thank you, I'll try it as soon as i have access to wifi.
Hello everyone, long time forum creeper, first time poster
Anyway, I'm running AOKP JB on my Sprint GS3, and I've noticed that, through a program I bought on the market, "GMD Gesture Control" It's actually possible to invoke the GB version of the Recent Application Dialogue, instead of the ICS and forward version which shows screenshots of the open apps in a list. I've never actually liked the new list, as you can see all the icons in the old dialogue, instead of scrolling through a list for what you want to find. I've just always been really annoyed that google sacrificed functionality for style. So what I was wondering was if it was possible to bind this, since it is apparently still active, but dormant in 4.1.1, to the hold down the home button action, as GMD Gesture Control really kills the battery. There had actually been an option for this in the ICS version of AOKP that I had used on my Epic 4G, followed by my Epic 4G touch, and I LOVED it. Unfortunately they have yet to merge this functionality in to their JB builds of AOKP. If anyone could help me with this I would really appreciate it, been looking for a way to do this forever! Thanks!
Yes, I know I'm a noob by the definitions set forth by the XDA community/admins.
Yes, I googled and saw some threads on the keyboard shortcuts available for Android 4.0+ platform.
No, I couldn't reply to those threads because 1) I am "new" and 2) those threads are practically old now.
So, putting my "noob" status aside, I have this question to ask:
Does anyone know if Google intends to implement a better physical keyboard system into ICS? I'm really annoyed at how poorly implemented the keyboard shortcuts are set up for the OS. I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around how Gingerbread 2.3 implemented up to 26 shortcuts on the HTC EVO Shift 4G, 37 shortcuts for the Samsung Galaxy, yet ICS only has like, what, 10, maybe 15 shortcuts, and within apps a lot of shortcuts that worked in earlier releases of Google OS's suddenly don't work in ICS?
I intend on finding the necessary .PL file in my Android directory to edit and add in shortcuts of my own, but just wanted to know if anyone within the XDA community knows if Google will implement better physical keyboard shortcuts for the OS. Thanks!

If you are rooted and are using a custom ROM. Then you can enable a NAVbar. IN that you can put upto 7 shortcuts. More long press shortcuts. And then enable nav ring. Meaning if u pull up from nav bar then a ring comes up and you can enable more shortcuts here.
Many ROMS enable this, like Icecoldjelly.
Hey guys, Im currently running Trickdroid on my HTC and im really enjoying the HTC Sense feel. However, there are a few very minor things i thought that might make the experience that much better.
For one, i really like the HTC Sense stock camera; Easy options, Zoe, the seamless switching etc, but i would really like to be able to manually adjust the focus. I found you can change the exposure but i cant find any focus options.
Another thing (very minor) being the Sense "Recent Apps" ( double tap home) , for some reason it doesn't seem to support "multi-touch" and i can only swipe away one app at a time, even if i start from top to bottom. It would be awesome if i could just quickly swipe apps away before waiting for the fading animation to finish.
And lastly, the lockscreen. I do like the simplicity of the stock lockscreen but there's one thing that annoys me occasionally, if i miss tap or don't swipe properly it pops up with a short animation and says "Pull up to unlock" and the screen is unresponsive for the second the animation is happening.
Like i said, these are VERY minor things but having a solution would just complete it.
If you have any suggestions or fixes, they would be greatly appreciated
Possibly through XPOSED Modules?
Bump.......Ideas anyone?
I've never seen anything about anybody else asking about these issues so I would think the chance of a Mod existing or being made is very slim indeed ... You could ask in the Xposed thread ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335241&highlight=xposed ... Maybe the Dev could help you out.
Well hello Lads and Gents,
I've been using the PACman ROM, which unfortunately hasn't been updated for a year, for a long time and I was amazed by the variety of functions available in this All-in-One ROM! But a weird bug in the ParanoidAndroid options (will talk about it later) annoyed me, so Mustaavalkosta's CM11 release got my attention.
I have to say that KitKat is pretty cool! But for some odd reason, my Google Calendar isn't syncing at all, the extended desktop feature doesn't change a thing, Trebuchet went full retard so I had to delete and replace it with a version designed for non-rooted phones, random freezes, etc. (will add more when I find more)
Nevertheless CM11 features nice data protection options and other little things that I didn't have in the PACman ROM (as it's JellyBean), while PACman ROM had nice features I don't have in CM11...
So my core question is: Is there a way to install AOKP and PA features in CM11? I really loved Pie and the notification bar customization (PA) was really cool too, even though it didn't work for me. I'd appreciate any hints on how to add new features (from other ROMs) on my phone without f*cking it up.
Also, is over the air updating possible for the nightlies?
And about that weird ParanoidAndroid notification bar customization bug: The problem was that the scaling of the settings were wrong. To be able to access the field where the color is set, I had to turn my phone to landscape mode. But when I did that the color palette which opened had its save button outside of the screen, no way to scroll. If I turned it back into portrait mode, the dialogue simply disappeared! I tried everything to fix it but I had no chance. So I've been unable to change any of the notification bar settings for ANY app.
Thanks in advance!

You could either build your own ROM with the features you want, or find replacement apps. There's not really a drag-and-drop method for adding new features.

So that means I have to learn ROM coding? Oh lord... I thought there might be an easier way to bypass just this solution.
