[Q] Recent apps menu - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, i would love to have running apps and slide left/right to kill them, rather than recent apps build up there, any way of doing that?

Regaining recent Apps on pulldown notification bar?

I am currently using Senseless as my ROM, and love it. However, one of the mods on this ROM is the removal of the recent Apps on the pulldown notification bar. I got used to having the recent Apps available on the notification bar, and I don't know how many times I have caught myself going to the notification bar to access an app, only to remember that it is gone...Any way to get this back?

You could follow the steps in this thread, and just change it back.

The recent apps has been added back to the senseless ROM. Check the thread on how to download the update.

[Q] Is there a mod where i can get the recent app menu

I have a rooted galaxy s3 with custom rom but im just wandering the older version of android has that recent app menu in the notification menu which i liked, is there a way i can get it back ?
What do you mean?

Isn't that a HTC Sense thing?
I just hold the home button and use the task switcher..
This is an HTC thing. An old HTC thing.

I agree
Just like the galaxy nexus the on screen navigation keys.... Back home and recent apps button was great because on the galaxy S3 having to switch recent apps by pressing home button will wear and tear button and takes 2 seconds whereas on screen recent apps button was perfect
I know AOKP rom has this on screen keys mod but any add on that someone is developing or has developed for s3 with touchwiz framework would be winderful.... This new TW is beginning to grow on me

i think goluacher also has a recent and running apps in the menu.
Check out "Task Switcher" by gdroid on play store (com.gdroid.fastfive).
Personally I didn't like it, as the curtain doesn't close automatically. But it seems to work fine.
Maybe a developer can bake it back in once some roms start flowing. But nothing I've seen. Let us know!

Good job posting what the guy on top of you posted. How helpful.
There is a new app on the market called Multitask Shortcut, it's not free (only £0.50 though) and I have not tried it but it does seem to do what you are after (check out the video he has on the app page)...

Hey, hey, hey

Just switched over from Samsung Fascinate (hey nitsuj17). 4g is super fast I'm loving this phone, got all the vzw bloat disabled. Can't wait for s-off, root and all that good stuff.
I have one question though. Why is there no notification quick-settings, wasn't that added in 4.1?

Added by nit... Settings in the upper right hand corner is similar.
I thought the one x and other HTC phones had the quick setttings tab on stock.

They did. We didn't get the recent app button remap either.

That's the way I felt till I started using it. Now I love it. I still find myself wanting the search button.

I thought I was gonna hurl the thing out a window when I first got it. Now I use the recent apps button all the time. I sure miss having them rotate though
And I agree, I miss the search button.
Long press on the home button for recent apps is more efficient use of the buttons. Then the recent apps button could be search.

Unless I am mistaken, this is how the "3-button mod" works. It will be another benefit of the pending root.

quick setting and htc on sense4/4.1/4/5/4+ has been an oddity for sure across the one series and other phones
on random ota/roms they enable it, others they disable it, others they completely remove the code
many sense4.1 ota's enabled a toggle in settings that allowed for switching of "recent" apps to menu...ours didnt for some reason
once you are rooted, custom roms fix this issue...and viperRom allows you to completely remap the long presses of all 3 buttons, and select what you want the menu to be
cant wait for root then

just realised i can remove the verizon apps tab in the app drawer, and if you just have only one tab the tab bar dosent show up. Its nice.

Kill all recents instead of individually swiping away?

Is there any mod available to kill all recent apps rather than individually swipe away each one by one?
I know there's mods for AOSP/CM rims recents windows. Anything similar for sense?

If you are just trying to get apps out of the background after you are done using them but do not want to disable them, try greenify.

Is there a way to disable Touch Wiz Quick Settings?

I'm on a rooted 4.3 ROM. I mostly don't mind Touch Wiz, but I hate the quick settings in the notification drawer. Too big, ugly icons, text I don't need, etc.
I'd be happier with a 3rd party toggle program, like Power Toggles, if I could just disable the built in ones.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks!
