How Do I Access Task Manager??? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im on the AOSP JB ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737449 and for the life of me cannot find a way to access the os's task manager to see my active apps, clear ram etc...
Also, i can't seem to be able to add anymore home screens/delete home screens on my phone. The whole pinch gesture does not work :/
Sorry if this is a noob question (

Hi,
For the task manager, long press on the home button doesn't work?

Ahhh, had a feeling touchwiz was providing the extra features, oh well, rom still rocks, thanks
Does the same go for not being able to add/remove homescreen pages?

App Request TW Launcher for AOKP

Is it possible for someone to make a modified version of the TW launcher that will work with AOKP? I'd just like the app drawer icon to be the ICS circle with dots. I found the link below in searching, but it has the default home page set to 1 with no option to change it, and the app drawer icon isn't themed. I'm using it for now though, because i have no idea how i could change it. Anyone who wants to use this one without having it modded go ahead. Lol Thanks in advance to anyone who can do it or any advice!

Isn't the whole point if aokp/aosp roms to get away from touchwiz? Why not just flash stock?

You can change the app drawer icon in Nova (and Apex, I think) - you can probably make them look mostly like Touchwiz if you want.

Uhhh maybe look like 3 or 4 posts below yours? It couldnt have been that hard to miss the "Galaxy S3 Launcher" in the thread title could it?
You have to take up customizing the App Drawer button with Samsung though.

Surely it couldn't have been too hard to see that I posted this months ago before the gs3 was even officially announced? Don't sit there and act like I'm an idiot when this thread is old news. Bravo.

[Q] Stock ICS Launcher on ICS LEAK?

Hey guys,
I saw a video on youtube by qbking77(?something like that) of him reviewing the official leak ICS build for SPRINT's SGS2.
He found that by clearing the defaults for Twlauncher apk, pressing home button will give you two options for the launcher, Touchwiz 4.0 and STOCK ICS. I thought this was pretty neat.
Can anyone confirm that AT&T's OFFICIAL LEAK stores inside it the STOCK ICS LAUNCHER too?
I myself have a GT-i9100, btw. was just wondering if that is possible. Thanks guys!
Removing the launcher and not having a fallback will get you nowhere.
He probably hand Trebuchet or similar installed, unless carriers are including Market apps. (Doubtful)

Nono not removing it, just clearing defaults from the app options.
And no, it was called "launcher"
And he went from stock tw launcher to stock ics google launcher
And he said sprint/samsung have included this.

It's not in any I9100 or I777 firmware I've seen, but it's not like you can't install it.

All the carriers give you choice out of the box. Its called Play Store. Apple made "there's an app for that" popular, Android made it true.

Kill all tasks mod S3?

Hey there,
I'm a user of the Omega ROM (4.1.2) and I wish to get back the Samsung Task Manager on the device when I go into recent apps, as I find the amount of control I get lacking. This mod below does exactly what I want, but isn't installing via CWM due to the fact the app is designed for the Galaxy S.
Would anyone be able to help me out getting this onto my S3?
Thanks,

Right most button? There are no buttons on the recent app list on AOSP/AOKP. That's what I WANT it to have. It's on the standard ROM but not on CM10. It has been ported over to another CM10 device (Galaxy S) and I don't see why it couldn't be done with the S3.
It's a really useful feature, because the recent apps feature isn't always enough.
Oh you didn't mention aosp in op. The kill all button is there with aokp.

AOKP counts as CM10, right? I'm using a CM10 ROM, Omega. There is no such option to kill all apps or use a task manager in CM10.

Question about Multi Window?

is there a way to add diff apps to the slide bar when multi windows is enabled? when u hit the edit button it lets you remove apps but cant figure out how to add, any one have any insight?
Only rooted verizon phones with Mods can add to multiwindow. Verizon neutered at this point.
The alternative is to download apps converted for multiwindow

[Request] Working Floating Multi-Window

Is there a flashable zip for floating multi-windows on VZW GN2? I searched and found a couple of threads but they seemed somewhat complicated and quite buggy. I had this feature on my GS3 with Synergyrom and loved it, I'm sure it would be even nicer on the bigger screen. Sorry if there is a simple answer that I overlooked.
Here is a simple way of getting floating multi Window. I know of no other mods at this time.

Is it because it's built into the rom that it works so well on Synergy for the GS3? If so is it something that can be done for GN2? I ask because I don't fully understand what can just be flashed and what has to be built in to the framework of the rom to make it work properly.

Ihave the same problem, but I deal with the three shortcuts instead of five. Then I use an spp to control jist the lockscreen rotation. Im my opinion, the benefits far outweigh losing two shortcuts.
You can also change the dpi if you want all of your shortcuts as lpng as you can deal with smaller icons.

This seems to have no effect on my VZW Note 2. Running Jelly "Beans" with Nova Launcher and Widget Locker.
Are you hitting the save button in the right corner of xposed after you change your settings ?

Yeah same here on beans 13 didn't change multi Window at all. Tw launcher. Beans stock kernel.
Tried both resolutions. Tried different dpi.
It would be really cool to have this. I am not smart enough. Lol. But i know there are tons of smart people in these forums.

Yes, just like I do when I change DPI on all my other apps. I know how to use it. It just isn't working with Beans 13 for some reason.
