Hi,gus!
I wanna to introduce a app named "Quick task",it comes from a chines rom.
It can run on my defy with rom 2.2 ,The function of this app is like a control switcher with system setting like APN,WIFI,A-GPS.BT,Screen Always on,sync with google.tec
but sometimes it will no function with the fuction with auto brightness
so can someone help me with this problem?
ps:you can copy the app to /system/app with the permission changed,then do a reboot,it will activate with holding the seach button.
I guess someone will love it ,with this app installed on my defy ,i will not use some widget.
under this post i had post some usage of this app,it is a relly fuctional app worth some developer rework on it!
Sorry for my poor english!
Hi!
I must introduced some usage of this app.
You can activated with search button,then you can press the menu botton,it has setting option.so you can do some settings to decide what to display.
when you long press some system fuction icon of this app, it will go to settings of system to convinient you to do some more settings.
other that ,when you long press some apps display on this app windows,it will can be force close app,but this fuction have not complete.
So i think it is a really functional app except for a few small problems, it worth some developers to rework on it!
sorry for my poor english.

Hi,
Can you help me with a problem?
When I want to kill an application on my Desire, I must go to the app drawer and find the Task killer. And then, find the app that I want to kill, press and wait for the options and finally kill that app. It's annoying, because it takes a lot of time... (sorry, but for me 5 sec IS a lot ) Please don't tell me to just avoid killing tasks.
I got an idea if it is possible to kill a tasks just by pressing HW keys or a combination of HW keys. For example: By pressing 3x HOME I'll kill the application I'm just using. That should save a lot of time (that 5 sec).
So my question: Is there a way to assign own actions to HW keys? By remapping or something like that?
Thanks a lot.
In MIUI (and I think CM7) there's an option to long-press the back button to kill the current task.
If you're not interested in using either of those roms, I believe there's an app that will do the same. There's also an app that will allow you to close the current app from the notification bar.
Those apps may require root, and I don't know the names of them. Just search the Market, you may find them.

I'm currently using CM7, so I'll try to find this options.
Thanks!
In cm7, from your home screen:
Menu > settings > applications > development > stop app via longpress

Found it! Thx!!
There are 3 buttons at the bottom left, back,home, and recent app.
Is it possible to change the recent app button to open the task manager.
Pressing the home button for few seconds just feels too slow.
I'm rooted and on overcome rom.
I heard android is all about customization, hope this is possible.
No reply,not possible at all?
Quite a good idea
I'll have a look
It may be easy may be hard

Yeah, thank you!
I really dislike the recent app button. Its so useless n slow.
The task manager is the best way to switch app n close app.
Dear brobot 175
The main request is to have a instant access to the task manager.
which makes closing and switching task very fast and easy.
Eg. Playing angry birds, if wana exit, need to press back, tap the in game menu, exit, exit, a pop up appear, tap yes. Different app will have different method to exit. Very troublesome.
Press and hold the home button to fire up task manager and press the x is much faster and easier.
But its slow to wait, hope there is a faster way for it rather then touch and hold home button.
Pressing the mini tray is even slower so that's not an option.
Able to replace the recent app to task manager is great.
If that's not possible, I have another suggestion.
Is it possible to add a shortcut next to the screen shot button?
As far as i know, the screenshot button is not on stock honeycomb, its and added feature.
Seeing there's space for about 4 more shortcuts, adding a task manager will be super sweet.
What do you think?
i have had a play around a bit but i think the shortcuts for the miniapps are actually embedded in a java file
i cant understand much java so im kinda stuffed
i did however get the wifi on/off buttons to go in the taskbar but thats not really what you were asking i know :L
just on writing this i have just had an idea and i shall have another look at this tonight
cheerrs

you manage to put a button on a taskbar to toggle wifi?
thats amazing!!
good luck with your research.
if you can make it an app, that can put shortcuts on the taskbar, it would be amazing, and make it an app in the market.
after closer observation, the taskbar can have at most 6 icons on the bottom left. since when in portrait, the space becomes small and only can accomodate 6.
right now 4 are permanently there. (back,home,recent app,screenshot)
if can add 2 more would be nice, a task manager, and one more say...volume control? (like the one in desktop window, click once and a bar appear for volume control)
ahahaha, i am already dreaming too much.
Aha yeah you are!
Well as I've said before in have no idea how to make a shortcut to taskmanager but the volume may be possible
I have tried making an app imitate the mini calculator so you can launch it from the miniapps bar but it hasn't worked so far :L overall nothing really works right now
Guys I think we all should help each other by sharing the best apps and games you've been using yourself and believe that will help other Quattro owner to enjoy the device to the fullest. Please do share them along with the benefits/fun you got using it.
Let me start a few from my end.
1. Smart Screen ON: This app has helped me alot to turn the backlight on without pressing the home button making it safer from early wear and tear. This is surely help you guys as well. :good:
2. Air-Call Accept: It a great app with very limited features, Turn it on. And when there a is a call swipe your hand over the phone or accept or reject the call or you may straight away put the phone close to your ears to answer the phone. (The best thing of it I like). Try it and you'll love it. :victory:
3. Lux Lite - Auto Brightness App: Again one of my favourite apps. You can select camera as an sensor for detecting light and it will auto adjust the screen brightness. Love the way it works. Read complete HOW TO use the app and you'll understand it more.
4. Photo Editor by Aviary: Quick and precise phone editor I've ever used. I use many others too but believe me this is real quick for our phone and have many options to use for editing photos. You can also add memes to the images .Try it.
5. Clean Master (Cleaner) - FREE: Again this is a great app that helps you maintain your phone better and make you stop complaining about its speed and lags and all. It is necessary to clean up the unnecessary cache files to make the phone work smoother. This app serves the purpose. :highfive:
Now, You cannot miss an app that everyone wants it first when they buy a phone. (Best Battery Saver)
According to me that app is Du Battery Saver free.
6. DU Battery Saver & Widgets: Haven't tried many other battery saver apps, but I will share the one that I'm very comfortable with and hope when you use, you'll be at ease too. This app does the work that is expected from it. The various Modes help alot in setting up the battery accordingly. There is not regret in using it since I bought my phone in early May 2013 just few days after its launch.
I hope these apps will help you maintain your phone better. Some of you might already be using it, if yes, please don't think the post is boring. I've tried to help the others who don't know about these apps.:good:
Thanks and Cheers to all happy and to be happy owners of this phone (Galaxy Grand Quattro).
Use the Swipe Home Button App- with that you can customise the swipe to make it work like the home button, as a result you do not have to long press the Home button to view running apps...hence this app takes a lot of load off the physical home button
Nice app ! ! !

A Very decent app it is for all of us. :good:
I'm already using the gesture controls of Nova Prime Launcher and this started conflicting a bit with previous gesture controls.
But this is really a great app with multiple gestures performing various frequently using tasks. Keep it up. :victory:

why dont u try the same by using gravity box then using any app..,also gravity box has many tweaking as i moded the long press of the menu button to load previous app which gives some fun of multi window also the long press of the back button has the same function as that of long press of the home button.....
I'm using Lux and it works very well using front camera! Most auto-brightness apps don't have this feature (they require light sensor instead). But I didn't get how SMART SCREEN ON works...

How to:
Sorry not able to upload images. I forgot usb cable somewhere.... :silly:
Step 1. Install and tap on the icon and click on BASIC. Tick Enable Smart Screen ON (SSON), Start on boot and Hide icon (if you want).
Step 2. Tap on wave hand mode. Tap set automatic value, now wave your hand over the device the way you want the lights to go ON. Means wave hand once and tap I like these values, if you want the lights to turn on in single wave. Or wave twice and select I like these Values
And ofcourse turn that feature ON.
Step 3. Only if you need. Tap and swipe On. This does the same thing as a hand wave does, but instead of hand wave you tap once on the sensor or swipe your finger across it.
Step 4. Now tap Save and restart app. And you are ready to go. :fingers-crossed:
When done. Screen off your phone and wave hand over the phone. And the backlight will turn on, so that you can atleast see the any notifications you received.
Note: SSON sometimes don't work because it supports devices without screen lock better than devices with screen lock turned ON. This is very rare when it doesn't work. Maybe once in every 15 or 20 times. Pretty decent, Isn't it?
Cheers :good:
Wow! It's so cool! Thanks for tutorial! Works perfectly.
Hi i want to share what apps i use in my GT-I8552. ill be very brief and simple.
1. Tasker - i use this app for:
~Automatically changing my wallpaper. (i have a parameter to save battery).
~Sound and light profile. (i use this to change modes, Day/Night mode).
~Removing my PIN LOCK when i am home.
~Automatically put my phone in Power Saving Mode
~Automatically Turn On my GPS for Specific Apps
~Automatically Turn Off my GPS/WIFI/Bluetooth after sometime of inactivity (or even i turn it on, it will check if i am using this functions or not)
~Automatically Turn On Screen Rotate for specific apps (buggy or i just dont really like my screen to rotate).
Note: i used an extension for some settings the app named -Secure Setting-
2. Foldersync - i love this app even though it can be used with tasker but the app alone is awesome! i use this to sync my music/pictures/video to different cloud storage. but in music i use 2way function because i am downloading music in my pc and i just want my phone to sync wirelessly.
3. Camera Zoom FX <- Awesome for taking pictures (if you can suggest better app why not? )
4. Adaway
5. Titanium Backup
Thanks will be appreciated ! ! !

Go through my next post for games. :good:
I f*&#ing hate this stock rom! If anyone could tell me how, or if there is a way by disabling a service, to stop the google search popping up when you swipe past the home button or hold it for a second. Aargh!
Install Google Now Launcher or Nova.
Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
I have the pro version of nova installed. This has no options to disable this feature
Install Tasker for example. Then if You swipe the home button the popup will show with apps to choose - then choose Tasker (use always) that could do just nothing.
Now if You swipe home button only white circle would appear - that would do nothing.
I should have pointed out that my intention is to stop this circle popping up, so i can use the slimpie controls and disable the navbar completely. I am afraid I am struggling to come to terms with just how limited a stock rom is. Sure I can get root via the sony dev website but at this point I think all the fancy algorithms for camera performance would be removed, as well as throttling for thermal control.
When you Google Search, you find https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hk.sld.SwipeLaunchDisabler
The Irony
I'm using this app to fast lock the screen when I swipe up the home button
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
otherwise you can use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dynamicg.homebuttonlauncher
to have more options respect to open google search
Just FYI:
- This is called "Swype up for Google Now" in old Nexus manuals.
- Now in Android 6.0 is replaced for "Google Now on tap".
I don't really know how to disable it.... Maybe trying another Launcher.
Thanks for your input. however the home button launcher will not achieve my goal, and the swipelauncher disabler is comically pointless! It is less a disable function, more so it just doesn't launch my browser, choosing instead to flash the screen at me! It is clear that I will not be sated until custom roms come about with some CM or AOSP goodness. Please hurry devs, I want to love this phone...
I'm a bit late to the party and I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but I've just been disabling some apps on my z5c and one of them was the Google Now app (I think it was called). Because the bubble popping up was from the Google now app, it has stopped appearing ever since. Hope to have helped.
Disable the Google App
Yep remove Google Now or I just tried this and works well (you cannot prevent the animation that will still persists, but the action gets revoked the way you have requested.)

I have a nice feature on my Honor 7.
I have a configurable physical button on its left. with it, i can launch any app i want.
At another hand there is a strange thing in Android : most of the time, you cannot close an application directly. you have to switch screen and then drop the icon's app out. Not very fast nor that practical in everyday's life ...
So my idea is to find and app killer that would instantly kill the displayed app when i press on the button.
What do you think about this idea ?
Do you think that such app exists ?
Thanks.
