Hello, when i hold home key, i just see 6 recent programs, but i want to see all of programs i am using on multitasking menu (like on iphone) is there any way to do that ?
I am sorry but its not possible...It can only display last six recent apps...BTW do you really use more than 6 apps at a time??
In some ROMs like opendesire and cyanogenmod you can set recent apps to 9 etc.. You can also use a task manager with a shortcut to see what's running.
But I do not recommend using a task manager on Android 2.1 or higher.
why ? I saw that on stock samsung galaxy s, when you hold the button it opens multitasking menu with 6 recent apps and under theme there's a link to all running programs
Hi!
Was wondering if we could somehow override the home button long press to run a custom application instead of showing the recent apps list? This way, we could develop a custom application which shows more stuff rather than just 6 recent apps.
Some ideas are - integrating a task manager which shows running apps, favorite apps shortcuts, shortcut to app drawer etc.
I could develop the application but I wouldn't know how to override the home button long press! Any ideas anyone?
Cheers,
San
Well, there is at least one (paid) app that already does this (could be more but i don't know of them) - "MultiTasking Pro" http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.tkdtnek23.app.multitaskingpro
It would be nice to have extra functionality though, such as a clock (say, if you're in the middle of a game and want to check the time).
As for how it works, just from testing it out, it appears to act as a launcher (given that single home button press takes you to home launcher). I gather this as I had to set it as the default app when i pressed home button for the first time, aswell asthe fact that you have to select the home launcher in the app settings.
The way the app works is, press home button once brings up the menu (overlaying existing app). press it a second time and it takes you to the "default" home launcher as selected in settings. If you hold down home, the original app menu pops up, reinforcing the fact that this isn't a replacement per se.
Of course, overriding the original home button hold function menu would appear to be a much cleaner solution, and I welcome any info on that... whether its integrated into touchwiz or what not... One things for sure, is that samsung modified it to include a link to their "task manager" app.
TaskSwitcher is better, faster, uses less memory and it's completely free.
However no app can replace the long press. It needs kernel/system file modding.

Indeed, not possible. Does anyone know if it was implemented in other android phones?
PS. Power strip is better =) Very very fast and you can see 12 recent apps + widgets. Itching thumb is very promising, but its a plain beta for now.
Yeah but itching thumb uses a LOT of memory.

For me Itching Thumb is currently the only task switcher style thing I find good enough (interface, functionality) to run next to Launcher Pro... I uninstalled all others I tried before.
But if I could have Launcher Pro on short press home, and Itching Thumb on long press home, that would be exactly how I would want that . Because I think optimizations such as memory use will come in time anyway.
I hope for the visual style to be integrated in android and have a real preview, live of the app.

Go POwer master wrong estimation
Hello
I installed latest Go POwer master from Google play and I get wrong endurance time, like 3-4 hours when actually it last 24+
Any idea why?
Currently double-clicking the home button starts S-Voice, which in my opinion has poor recognition. Is it possible to change the double-tap default to Google Now voice search?
You can use simplistic framework mod to assign any app for double click home button. ....... from original Android development thread
Other ways.. long press menu button for Google now. ..why should you use home button?
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
I'm wanting to use an app called LMT which is basically add on pie controls that can replace your navigation bar, it's fully customizable. Here's a link to the app forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150 it's a great app. Only problem I'm having is getting it to trigger dual window mode. You can customize the various pie slices to trigger anything you want, apps, app shortcuts, bookmarks, keypresses, but with key presses you have to know exactly how to format the command and I haven't a clue how to do that.
Just open the application dual window.

That doesn't do anything, that app I believe is just the framework for dual window, it actually has no activities when checked with system tuner.

Your answer is in thew link you provided.
You have to set a comand "100+Back" this will press and hold back for 100 milliseconds (Pressing and holding back button launches split window.
or 200+Back = 200 milliseconds and so on.

FAQ
Setting key actions:
With LMT's key action you can not only send simple key presses, but also simultaneous presses, long presses and key chains. See the following examples:
"keycode" -> Just a simple key press and release
"500+keycode" or "1000+keycode" or "2000+keycode" -> press and hold the key for 100ms/600ms/1000ms and then release it
"keycode1 keycode2 keycode3" -> Execute keycode1, then keycode2, then keycode3
"keycode1,keycode2" -> press and release keycode1 and keycode2 simultaneously
"keycode1,keycode2 keycode3" -> press and release keycode1 and keycode2 simultaneously and afterwards keycode3
"2000+keycode1,keycode2 keycode3" -> press and hold keycode1 and keycode2 simultaneously for 1000ms and afterwards press and release keycode3

I actually haven't tried that yet, but the pie slices can be set to back, and back longpress' stock function, that didn't work, but I'll give your idea a try and see how it goes.
I have an idea that I'll have to specify the command that launches dual window, but I have no idea how to determine what that is.
