I've seen plenty of discussion about the One X series multitasking performance and tweaks to address it, but not much about HTC's UI for recent apps. I really don't like the cover-flow-like UI - I really don't need the 3D or reflections effects, it limits what I can see to only 2-3 apps (and only 1 with a name), and it requires extra scrolling to get to an app 2 or 3 back.

Maybe I am terrible at searching, but is there a way to get the standard ICS recent apps view?
No way of getting the stock ics multitasking yet. Only way is to run an aosp Rom.

On the Charmeleon rom you can disable the sense recent apps. Which reverts it to vanilla style.
I'm going to be blunt. Yes. yes you are.
I too dislike the cards, but as regalpimpin said, the Char ROM is the only one I've seen that has the option for stock recent apps UI. Would love a flashable zip for this, or how-to on disabling the Sense version.

I knew I was asking for it with that title. Clearly that's not entirely true, but I am surprised it doesn't bother more people. Even the GB recent apps UI was more efficient for switching, unless of course what you wanted was more than 6 apps back.
I'll have to give Charmeleon ROM a try. Or maybe I will go back to using Wave Launcher for now since I've got the recent apps button mapped to menu anyway.

I was playing with my friends evo the other day... and i really liked his dialer/phone app. is there anyway i can port that over? or is it phone specific? can i just grab the apk over from his phone or a rom?
Pictures &/ link would help quite a bit

Pretty sure system apps are phone specific, the framework is tailored specifically for the Evo.....you can try it, and it if doesnt work just do a restore

how would we able to tell if it would work on the vibrant just by looking at a picture? it doesnt matter what the app looks like.......its the dialer from the evo, which is a system app unique to the model...thats all we need to know.....its obviously safe to say that the app is most likely not coded to function on devices other than the Evo
I suggest just downloading Dialer One from the Market. It has a similar layout to the Sense dialer, and you can customize it how you want. That's why we have 3rd party devs
you could also try "takephone" dialer....just to give you some options
it has cool skins, and a very cool scrollable favorites bar
The EVO runs HTC Sense so there are too many differences in the frameworks that the dialer in HTC Sense needs for it to work. This has been a question that people have asked since the first release of Sense.
there are some system apps that can work on other devices, but it just depends on how much the manufacture of the device changed the system app to use things that they added to the framework. But this is one that will not work on a non-Sense device.
My ROM has memory tweaks applied but I want to exclude HTC Sense from being killed. It dies even when there is a lot of ram available.
I expect it to reload after a Game or Video sure, not general applications.
I was thinking of searching back to the old tweak Aakiam(Sp?) had for the EVO 4G with keeping Sense alive. (EDIT : Found it. Currently trying ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1, still testing though.)
I'll look for that but I just want to know if it works with the current EVO? Before I go messing with the build.prop.
If you have an alternate tweak that does work, could you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

According to the supercharger thread ics ignores build.prop and instead its hard coded into services.jar from what I gather.
Can you download auto memory manager and check the OOM priority for your launcher?
The priority should be 1 for the default launcher. Priority seems to be 5 (killed more easily) for the non default.

How do we let Google know to go back to the default app selector? The one in ICS just required 1 click to select from the list of available apps. I know that I don't always like selecting a default app because for things like links I like being presented with the option of different browsers etc. And if I define a default it can be a hassle to undo the default. I just don't like how I have to select "Just Once" every time. I liked how it worked in ICS that there was a check box to define the default if yo unwanted to, but to select the app was just 1 click. I hope that Google will revert in versions to come!

Completely agree with you! At times i prefer opening links in the pop up browser, and other times in the full blown one. Think we can get people for a petition?

agreed, i use chrome as my default, but would really like the option of having the pop up... good point, but doubtful we can do much right now.
Take a chill pill guys. Android 4.2 fixes this issue, so this will become a non-issue whenever Verizon's Note II gets that software update. http://www.pocketables.com/2012/11/...popup-to-bypass-annoying-selector-system.html

Haha. But even if Verizon takes forever to officially release 4.2 for this phone, I'm sure there will be leaks. Or if the bootloader ever gets unlocked, an AOSP version of 4.2 or Key Lime Pie could be developed for those who don't mind the lack of S-Pen features.
But at the end of the day, this app selector issue is pretty minor. The phone's still fine otherwise.
That's good news.... I didn't realize that they had fixed this in 4.2. I can wait as long as there is hope.
I haven't been messing around with a HTC Device since 4.0.4 on the OneX and I wasn't sure if HTC ever added a Do Not Disturb/Blocking Mode to sense 4+ or this latest version of sense.
Does anybody who has a One (or can go play with one) know if there is such a mode?
Thanks!
Just bought mine yesterday. Prior Inspire 4G user. Now, the One has the ability to add numbers to a blocking list if that is what you mean.
If not, let me know and I'll keep looking.
I am sure what he means (and what I want to know too) is if it has a "Do not Disturb" option like the iPhone has. Where you can set it to ON and then tweak the settings. For example, I have my iPhone on Do Not Disturb and the settings are 11:30PM to 7 AM so no messages/calls/etc make no sound in that time frame. I played with the One a bit, but did not find such feature. I am sure a ROM does have it or there must be a way to get it. This being my first Android, I have not figured it out yet.
Oh, I know what you mean. Stock androids don't have that. But every ROM I flashed on my Inspire did. Of course it was rooted. I may root this one in a couple of weeks though.

I know aosp roms (Like CM10.1) have a feature called quiet hours. You might want to look into that.
Check out the app called seer in the play store. It's what I use. I used dnd on my lg Optimus G. I missed having it.
There's nothing built-in.
I'm using tasker for this. If I'm charging at night, I turn auto sync off to stop checking for notifications while still allowing calls.
it's built into htc sense 5.5

In Need Better Recent App Management. Please Help?
After having a LG G3 for a while and the moving on to other phones I realized that my LG had the best most customizable way to handle my recent apps. Lollipop is nice and pretty but not near as fast as my old LG. I started to look on the play store to find a replacement, but shockingly no one has made a app like this. I am wondering is it because it would be too hard to make an app like this, or is it that no one has had the idea about making it yet. Its seems simple, but I'm not a Dev. A recent app menu where you can pinch to zoom to get more or less recent apps on the screen.
