End All Task Accept....

I'm always in the habit of going into the task manager and ending all tasks accept 2. Is there a way I can script this so that I can end all tasks accept these 2?
Thanks guys,

You can use CeleTask and hover over the task you want to keep open and press Menu\Action\Close Others

there is an app that will close apps in the background after a certain period of time. Go on www.smartphone-freeware.com,unfortunatelly I cannot remember the name of the app,but I know i have seen it there a couple days ago.Dont know if it is exactly what u are looking for but it worths a try,right?

Found it:http://www.smartphone-freeware.com/download-appcloser-v0-1.html

Thanks
Perfect tomiglio, thank you. I installed the appcloser and so far it works for my needs.
FYI, for others who might want to try this app I couldn't get it to work until I rebooted.

mikey did a little write up a while back
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380473&highlight=appcloser

After trying this app for several days, it doesn't really work. It seems like it worked at first, but does not seem to work any more. Any other suggestion? Perhaps a script running against CeleTask that does the same thing? Is this possible?

The info i gave for CeleTask is simple, saves shutting them down one @ a time....

It's a good suggestion, but there are 2 programs that I want to leave open and this solution would close one of them.

Don't normally answer myself going to blaim it on 7" screen
If you open up CeleTask and hover over the ones u want to keep running and pess Menu\Action\Exclude so you have done this for both now they will not show up in CeleTask Tasks.
If you want to show them again Menu\Options\Show Exclude if you also want to say add them back as they were before you just press exclude on them again and they will show in the list.
Hope this helps.

I was hoping for a 1 button solution, but this comes in a close second.
Thanks stylez.

[Cab]Tilt2 PTT Button Mapped to launch Android(1click/2click/longPress Options)

NOTE: THis is for GSM phones only not for CDMA
Hey guys,
I modified this Cab for me and my friend to start android by pressing the PTT button, yea we are lazy but I figure some of you guys might want try it out also .
All it is the RhodiumKbdControl_GSM.CAB with the Keys already mapped Just Double click button and you’re good to go.
I made one for the RHODIUM but since you guys don't have a PTT button i mapped it to the Mute button on the back, just click it twice and your good to go
Also this is desing to work for Reefermattness cab(Path:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Project Android.lnk)
Thanks to tarkim: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
for creating this app.
Instrucstions:
Just Double click the button to launch
Added AndroidlaunchMOD.zip File wich contais 1click/2click/LongPress option for the Tilt2 PTT button. Also added 2click/LongPress for TP2, Just unzip and install the one you would like to use.
Note: Did not add a 1click for the Tp2 version because its mapped to the Speaker mute and did not want to overwrite it..
Requirements:
- .NET CF 2.0
Installing:
- Install SdkCerts.cab (if you dont already have it)
-Tilt2PTTAndroid.cab or RhodMuteandroidMap.cab
- Soft reset

Thanks. I'm totally gonna use this!
Just worried about accidentaly pressing it lol.

Nice, good thinking bud. Even if you double click on accident if its linked to my app you still can just close it without launching Haret.

[Q] Disable search key

hi all,
i've had my defy a couple of months now and i'm loving it.
just about the only thing i dislike about it is, i often accidently press the search key on the bottom right of the phone as i normally hold it with my right hand.
is there any way to disable the key? i know there's no inbuild way of doing it, so i guess we'd be looking at a hack.
i never use it, so wouldn't miss it at all.

If your phone has rooted, you can uninstall or remove the GoogleQuickSearchBox from the system/app. It helps.
If you are not sure how to do it, send me a PM.

which search key ?

thanks - i've now done that. only works on the homescreen but that's where it's most annoying, so a big help.

Hm. It should work globally not just on the home screen. Look around in you system/app and if you find a QuickSearchBox.apk remove it as well!

Anyone know how to swap the "recents" and the "back" button?

Thanks if anyone can help!

Don't think there's a way to natively change that. Your best bet is to root and check out Xposed Modules (if they even exist yet, I'm not sure).
Usually that's the only way to do stuff like that. Or custom ROMs with such settings built-in. I'm looking forward to being able to add another "option's" button on the nav bar. Sucks by default its usually up top.

Used to the Samsung way of doing it? But there's no way to do it stock.

swap recent and back button is inside gravity box. As is all the other must haves. To me personally that is.
I'm waiting patiently for exposed, it'll be a while.> http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed

Came from an s6. I do think the Samsung placement is better since I'm right-handed and use one hand a lot, so the back key on the right is a perfect placement. You do get used it though.

never hide softkeys

Hi,
i've tried to do a few searches but can't find anything about SHOWING the soft keys all the time.
See the thing is, this phone is for the mother-in-law and she's 71 so it needs to be as simple as possible. She wants to play games like temple run but doesn't understand the concept of swipe the top to get the home button to show up so I'd like to have the bottom bar always visible, even in immersive mode.
Any ideas please?
Cheers

I should probably include that it's stock 14.6.A.0.368 (this probably needs updating, but I'm looking for how to do that at the moment and confusing myself lol) and is rooted.

Xposed module 'App Settings' - go to the app you want, full-screen>prevent. I think you have to do it for each one. You probably can force it across the board with build prop, but I think the other way is best.

I can cope with that... Is there an easy guide for my firmware version to install xposed? I don't want to brick it again lol
Cheers

Flash this in recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3580244&d=1450386592 Then install this apk - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3383776&d=1435601440 Then open Xposed app and go to 'download' and search for 'app settings'. Note that the first boot after flashing the zip will be long and finish with 'optimizing apps' dialog, which will take several minutes. Make sure your battery level is good.
Always a good idea to backup first.

Oh yeah, and any time you install a new module in Xposed, it won't be active until you reboot.

Absolutely smashing, thanks. I've flashed the zip and now I'm waiting for it to load up, then I'll install the apk and find the module.
Cheers

Unfortunately that didn't work Things like Temple Run still go full screen and the navigation bar disappears.

Strange... Is the module working in general? Did you check the box in 'modules' screen in Xposed? I tested it on several apps and it was good...

I don't think so... It's ticked and I've rebooted and all that. The Adblocker module I found is working fine. Strange.
Perhaps I'm missing something. Any suggestions please? lol!! It's winding me up big time :/

Did you find the right options OK in the 'app settings' app, (full screen>always)?

Yeah, the options are there but no go.
Apologies for the delay. I've been away for the weekend.

This will do it for $1.50 - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lay&pcampaignid=APPU_1_0GClVp_MDoTW-QHV-ZyYBA

Are you sure? Reading the description that seems to do the opposite to what I want?
I want the navigation bar to be visible even in full screen mode. The girlfriend's mum can't grasp the concept of swipe to show the navigation and she keeps forgetting when we tell her, so by having it always visible we remove that obstacle

There's a 'blacklist' function which you can apply to chosen apps. I can't say if it will work on your specific game or not. The Xoosed module I mentioned works great for me with Camera, but I guess it didn't work for your game. I think with play store you can return a purchase within 15 minutes or something...

Don't know how I missed that. I'll give it a bash, Many thanks!

That didn't work either unfortunately

Well, after some reading, it seems clear that it is coded into the programming, and you'd have to rewrite the ROM to entirely disable it. From app to app, you probably could decompile and mod the apk so it doesn't call on the function. I did read that Gravity Box from Xposed has an immersive mode toggle, but I can't test it, since GB doesn't work on CM ROM. Check that out.

Thanks for your help so far. I tried GB but it didn't work either. Bloody annoying.
Perhaps another approach would be double tap the power switch to return home? Do you know if something like this exists please?
Thanks again for all the input and suggestions so far.

Hey I just discovered UDN (ultimate dynamic navbar). Install it, go to ssettings>general>special modes. Check 'toggle mode' and uncheck 'hide on outside touch'. The navbar will never go away. The only problem is that it sits Right there over anything else, blocking whatever you might want to touch down there, so maybe not a total fix. How eve, there's also more configurations you can mess with that might at least be an improvement.

I think I tried that as well, but like you say, it gets in the way. It got in the way and I didn't look any more into it. I'll give it a go and look more at it when I get home from work. Cheers.
