Is there a FAST way to switch between active applications? i came from WebOS and found switching apps the way it does extremely easy and fast, i am wondering if there's a way to do something similar in android.
Just hold the home button and you can switch between your recent opened applications.
An app called swipe pad. It can be found in the market. Allows you to open up 12 apps of your choosing to open up whenever. Sounds good?

Of course, holding the home button you will see your recently used apps and can effectivly swotcj between them.
If you're really missing webOS then wavelauncher from the market is definitely for you. TONS of options and works just like webOS mulit-tasking. Hope you like
those are good, but i am looking for something that tells me the active application like task manager, but easier to get to. and something that makes it obvious what apps i have running. the recent app doesn't tell me what is running tho
The paid version of wave launcher can do all of that and then some. The options and settings are extensive.

I like Swipe pad cuz wave launcher gets in the way when dismissing you're notification bar
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
I also really enjoy swipe pad. It's what I used before I switched to wave launcher. It's a great app, but personally I just like the feel and the way it handles better on wave launcher. And you can turn that setting off for the notifications thing in the options btw. I think it under a setting called something like "close notification on gesture area tap" or something. I don't like that feature either, so I just leave it turned off.
Yea I know u can turn it off but I like the gesture area in the top right corner

i would get wave launcher but i dont want to start spending money on apps yet.
i'm using swipe pad with bottom swipe up (like webos) and have the task manager right above the samsung logo so i can quickly get to task manager and switch between tasks. good work around
Hi,
Is it possible to run macros that would launch a specific application and then perform an action, or actions, in that application that could then be launched with NFC tags.
NFC Task Launcher + Tasker?

I don't believe Tasker can run Macros. As far as I know there aren't any macro apps on Android (that simulate clicks withing an app). I looked some time back when someone asked me over email and didn't find anything.

On the Xperia NXT Series there ist a programm called Smarttags preinstalled, it its programmable and it launches apps or sets your phone to silent or disables Wifi when you hold it at an Xperia Smarttag, the app ist downloadable at the playstore maybe it fits your Question

It is sometimes possible to do that with Tasker via the DPAD function. For example, I have an app open, then DPAD down (3 times), then DPAD Press, then DPAD down 2 times, then DPAD press.
this opens the app, scrolls down to the button I want pressed, presses it, which takes app to next screen, then scrolls down then presses again to start it.
Must be rooted to use the DPAD button. My understanding is it works whether your phone actually has a DPAD or not. However, the function of a DPAD action within any app depends on how the developer of that app set it up, so it may or may not work with your specified app, but you can try...

Thanks! Is the DPAD Function something that is built into Tasker?
Yep - under task it's in the "Input" category.
Thanks! I'll have to mess with that.
Apologies if this is way of track..

I think it's similar to Tasker. It will trigger apps but not actions within them.

what macros?
Generally a macro is a keystroke, or in our case an NFC tag, that is set up to replace a series of actions like repetitive keystrokes or actions. For example lets say that you are going a report and there are certain words that you use all the time. A macro would be a keystroke to replace having to type out that word over and over again

Have you made any progress on learning how to do this or if its possible yet?
In my case, I need my NFC tag to open up google voice and set it to use voice on all calls. The best I can do is get it to just open up the settings where I have to do 2 more screen taps to change it.

You could possibly do it using activities. This is gonna sound like a "long cut" but it might work and would be a short cut once you get it all set up.
First install Nova Launcher (you're not gonna use it as your launcher, but it allows access to activities within apps). Now long press anywhere on your screen to add app/shortcut. Choose shorcut. Then choose "activities" which is by the Nova Launcher icon.
Now you'll have a list of apps which if you press the app will then show the apps' available activities. Google Voice has 5 possible activities - this is where you'll have to do some testing by adding those one at a time to your homescreen, then pressing it to see what that activity does/doesn't do and see if one of them accomplishes what you want. I can see on my phone that one activity is "CycleCallRoutingModeActivity" - that might be a good one to test first.
If you don't find an activity that when launched from your homescreen does what you want, then I got nothing else for ya...sorry. However, if that one activity or one of the others does do what you want then you can use Tasker & the tasker plugin in app AutoShortcut and any NFC App that can launch a tasker task to launch that activity.
Basically, you'd set up a task in Tasker, add your first task and choose "plugin" then "AutoShortcut". Then you click "Edit" and it opens up all the same shortcuts as when you were adding one to your homescreen so you can go into "activities" and choose the appropriate activty under Google Voice.
Then you use your NFC App to write a tag that launches that task in tasker. I use Tasker URL Launcher which lets you launch a tasker task by coding a special url to a tag, but you can also do tasker task directly from NFC Task Launcher, AVX, or a couple of other apps.
Hope that helps!
I'm going to give my son my Epic, he's a toddler and he's all about playing on my phone..well, of course I want to disable certain features, password lock settings and play store etc, is there any 'kids corner' like apps or setups that I could use?
I'm on CM10.1 with it right now, one thing he loves doing is dragging apps from the drawer and making folders with tons of the same app in them..lol so want to cut that out, maybe require rolling back to GB where folders were not able to be created..of course having the ability to stop him from dropping shortcuts on the home screen at all would be best..
Any ideas?

Re: Best setup for a kid on the Epic4G
Here's my current issue, if I could get around this I've got the perfect setup..
I want to use a password locker app to lock settings, which I can do, but I cannot lock nova settings, the app does not show up in the list on app lock apps even though it's in the app drawer. Doesn't make sense honestly.
The only other hurdles are disabling the long press home key/recent apps, although if I lock everything but his games it won't matter..just need to lock nova settings and if possible wallpapers, system settings and manage apps both require pin from the menu touch key.
I removed the notification bar and all quick toggles and the dock, going to add all games to desktop and lock it and delete the app drawer icon as well as hide and/or lock all apps like play store etc. Then putting on the otter box and putting some tape around it so he can't open the keyboard. I think he will enjoy having his own phone to play with, he loves the puzzle apps

No, there's no app list button there I can delete the only shortcut to the app drawer. Not sure which version you are running or if you are thinking of ADW or Apex, one of which I do recall has the app list persistent on the homescreen as such. Novaprime does not have that..you can add one, but if I can lock the settings with a pin and lock desktop it will be quite locked down. Amy ROMS that have Navbar added in and disable the hardware keys?
Aha found a way to disable the Hardware keys....
"delete the text in /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl and then save changes in a root explorer app."
Now to figure out how to build a flashable file to replace said file with original file so touchkeys can be re-enabled so I can further modify the device...figure I could get it where I needed it and push a blank file via ADB or use a flashable zip like villianROM theming flash files to disable/enable them from recovery.
I could make a step-by-step once I figure this out, I'm sure there are lots of homeless (deactivated) Epics that would love to be cuddled by some toddlers lol
Well I gave my Epic to my son several months ago and it is still running strong the only thing he's managed to change is the wallpaper (I'm not sure how, but he did it from within the game 'Where's My Water' somehow, that is currently the background).
So step by step what I did was- Downloaded a favorite app blocker tool that requires a PIN to launch apps (the Audio Manager secret app is a great one IMO) and removes them from the app drawer (so far he's not been able to access it once anyway). I have another app locker that prompts with a fake 'Force Close' screen, you have to long-press OK to access the PIN entry dialogue, just another layer of security.
Put Google Play and any other app possibly triggered by a game/link into the 'Locked' section of your app locker.
Install Nova (I have the Prime version, it will likely be required) and in Settings, hide dock with a swipe gesture (I use two fingers rotated counter-clockwise), put 5 pages on the dock.
Place links to the app drawer and the Nova Action Hide/Show Notification Bar on the far right page of the dock (or far left will work as well), to hide the dock, slide over to the far-left page and use your swipe gesture. That way the dock can only reveal the app drawer and Hide/Show Notifications if you use your swipe gesture and then scroll 4 times to the right- something my son is almost certain not to accidentally do.
Next, navigate to the aforementioned folder (/system/usr/keylayout/ or similar) and delete both the menu touchkey line and the search touchkey line in the layout file. This will disable the actions, but will still respond to touch and blink/vibrate.
Remove any quicksettings accessible via notification menu- some apps are still programmed to be in regular view mode instead of fullscreen and a toddler will occasionally be able to access the notification menu- like Netflix, for example. Remove any actions and block any apps that can be triggered from the notification menu.
Finally, set up your desktop with all games and links your child would use and lock it from within Nova settings and lock desktop. You will still be able to access your dock, but you will not be able to add/delete apps or move them around on the desktop without long-pressing the lock icon, which doesn't resemble a button so my son hasn't figured that out yet either. (I'm screwed when he learns how to read, and he already knows his letters so it's only a matter of time now!)
I also used a piece of 3M double-stick adhesive strip (1/8" thick foam) and cut it so it covers both menu/search buttons and leaves home/back exposed- I didn't want him to get frustrated trying to tap the buttons and nothing happens since they still react to touch- I could have hidden the buttons, disabled them, enabled a navbar and only added those two buttons (home/back) but that would take up valuable screen real-estate for his movies and games. Then I finished by installing an OtterBox cover and taping the sides so that the phone will not slide open any longer.
He has access to one main screen and anything the phone can do, at least that he knows it can do, is located on that main screen, and he can't customize anything but the background image, apparently, lol.
It's pretty much like an iPhone now.
Hi there,
I'm using a Lock Screen app for ages now.
it's an app that turns off the screen without having to press the physical power button.
This one, for example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wq.lockscreen
The issue started since installing the lock screen app and now I can't unlock the phone using my finger print, but only using the pattern. I tried several apps now and none of them worked for me. Only when I uninstall the app the finger print function works flawlessly..
Does anyone here came across this king of issue and found a solution ?
Thanks, guys !

There is a setting for "Smart lock and Nexus imprint" Says Experimental. Works every time for me.
It's a mm issue, not your hardware or software.
The confirmed workaround is use root and nova prime gesture to lock ie double tap/swipe down or up etc. Nova launcher prime is on a sale now too, double goodness

I'm not sure how it works without root. Give it a try though. It works the same as other lock apps except you're using nova gestures in the home screen.

Any app that offers a real screen off without lock function (which wouldn't interfere with Imprint) needs root to do so.
Nearly all of the apps that provide a screen off function without root use the same API method which by design or oversight on the part of Google overrides both Nexus Imprint unlocking and Smart Lock settings on 5.x devices.
There is a Google Issue tracker thread here - star if this design decision/oversight irritates you - https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=191955
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iglint.android.screenlockpro has a working method but it is really just smoke and mirrors, not a true screen off action.
All it does is temporarily reduce the screen timeout to a minimum value (10 seconds) and sets a black screen overlay until the screen has naturally turned off. It works fine unless you invoke the shortcut and decide within 10 seconds that actually you wanted your screen on.
Nova can't do it with it's standard method either.

If you already use an automation app like Tasker or MacroDroid along with Secure Settings (I prefer MacroDroid) it's pretty easy to emulate the https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iglint.android.screenlockpro workaround and add some extra functionality to cancel the delayed real screen off if you decide you want to interact with the device in the few seconds after activating
Basically the steps are:
Use Secure Settings to set screen timeout to 1 millisecond (this actually results in a 7 second screen time out)
Set brightness to minimum
Set a 100% screen dim
Set Immersive Mode (MacroDroid doesn't support this natively dunno about Tasker - but there are apps that support this via intent so doable).
Reverse the above when the Screen off system broadcast is received and on whatever trigger event you like - I've got a proximity sensor wave to wake set up anyway via MacroDroid so just use that.
So I was investigating a little about the matter, I noticed that
A) albeit not visible, it was in the settings app's layouts as gesture_navigation_bar_deprecated
in op_navigation_bar_gestures_settings.xml
B) it had settings(op_gesture_button_side_enabled and others) I could manipulate through adb
What I have found out:
If you run
adb shell settings put system op_gesture_button_side_enabled 0
the back gesture gets put back to the bottom edge. However it isn't all good, as the assistant gesture stays in the corner, and the home/appswitcher gesture gets triggered a lot too, when using the back gesture.
I hope someone has an idea how to improve on this, as in its current form it is highly useless, and I wouldn't recommend it.

I just read on offical OnePlus forums about the L-shaped gesture to open the hamburger menus. Just swipe a little bit down on the left side and then to the right. It will open the hamburger menu and works from top to bottom. Another method is using the two finger swipe from the left border to the right. I'm quite pleased with this solution. It's a pitty they don't documented it in the changelog.
Of course is Fluid Navigation a nice solution to get more advanced gestures.
For anyone interested in adding Motorola's fantastic chop for flashlight and twist for camera I recommend this app
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...vitygestures-moto-actions-alike-t3383760/amp/
It lets you program five different motion gestures to any app and even allows you to fine-tune it. The only caveat is for the gesture to work you have to turn your screen on first. You don't have to unlock it. I just press the side the button then do gesture.
The closest thing to Motorola's far superior gusture and navagation. I wish the OEMs would just scrap theirs and go with Motorola's.

Another way of doing this (which is what I usually do now) is to tap and hold on the very edge of the screen until the side menu peeks out. Then slide it open.
