Alternative Multitasking? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

So I finally got over to ICS and have discovered the touchwiz multi-tasking screen to be unsightly and impractical. Are there alternatives?

You mean the stock android multi tasking screen? All Samsung did was add the Task Manager button to it to throw the old gingerwiz options in.
On stock ICS you ONLY have the recent/running app images and swipe off. Atleast back on touchwiz u still could go to task manager and exit all,clear memory.

I made the switch with phantom hacker's ics blazer released yesterday. My multi-taking screen looks nothing like that one. It's a sort of horizontal scrolling layout instead of a vertical one and the screenshots for the apps is badly pixilated and warped. I'd kill to have the one you're showing in the screenshot.

the one you are talking about sounds like HTC sense 4 multitasker

That sounds like a possibility. Is there a way to change it? I've seen some other comments from people in the Blazer thread who don't seem to like it either, I've just not seen any solutions forthcoming.

Such a modification resides mostly within system UI framework, however, his rom is themed else ware within that framework from the looks of it. So unless you actually edit the framework to reuse the old layout, your options are use stock systemui and ditch part of the theme or request a stock version from your dev

Expose like interface Touchwiz dk28?

Did anyone else know it was possible. There isn't much documentation on Touchwiz 2.5 for our Epics. So I'm finding things new to me I suppose.
It also goes into Expose in the app drawer.

I dont understand
Can u clarify more
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I know that Launcher Pro has a nice Expose interface feature... but with touchwiz being so proprietary.. i highly doubt that youre going to be able to do much with it.
I meant this, I had a week ago pinched my fingers on the homescreen in Touchwiz and it expanded all of the homescreen without having to hit the edit button. But also within the app drawer it does the same thing and shows all the pages.
Homescreen:

Ahhhh I see, I wish we all knew what the actual features of the touchwiz we're on are. Because looking at old videos of Touchwiz 3 ours is nothing like it.

That would be really useful.
Edit_ the pinch works with the zeam launcher for the home screen but not app drawer

The way Touchwiz 3 was apparently supposed to look and work. We have some of the features in that video haha. If we had that I would be happy with Touchwiz eternally.

That touchwiz is pretty cool looking. I might actually use it if it looked like that.

It does break some stuff (as reported by a few people I've not used it) I think it was like camera and a few other things.

Yeah I know how that is lol. I actually kinda like just stock looks for Gmail and the rest of it but that's me. I like themes as well but for the most part I like them minimal.

Sense multitasking has animations and the apps are spaced out. Not happening for me. I think I remember seeing it in one of the first couple nocturnal venum builds and then it changed. I would like to see it back too, but all of the above mentioned roms have been kick ass otherwise.

Can you use this with themes like Purple Kush (which is the cat's pajamas, btw!)? I'm also running a nightly, are they still compatible?

Sure. When I was using the tab mod, most themes worked flawlessly.

Haha, I saw this started a few days ago and decided not to start on the burn wagon. I love the responses of those who did and by those who did it.
There is one theme that I know doesn't work on the tablet. That's the Crimson Cobalt for CM9 and AOKP...that one will send all kinds of crap spinning.

Notifications - Lower density( dpi ) on Stock Modified ROM

Right now I'm running Mijjz's "Goodness" ROM, which is pretty sweet. However I'm seeing an issue with notifications I've seen on all stock modified ROMs. I set my density to 190( from stock 240 ) and notifications in the panel have a gap of space about 1/4" between each notification, pretty darn annoying. Wondering if anyone has a, or seen a, fix for this. Any help would be appreciated

Yes, used ROMToolbox, also at 190. It happens when you have more than one notification showing, gap starts at bottom of the first notification, and then between each other one. Did a clean flash, no other mods running. I can screenshot later today if you're really not seeing it.
