Since I upgraded to lollipop in my Samsung s5 , I've trouble getting third party applications to access recent or running apps.
Like switchr for example. No recent apps are displayed. Tried overlay launcher and another I think.
Is there a limit with those apps or is it a common lollipop thing.
Tried with cm ROMs and touchwiz ROMs..
Thanks in advance [emoji16] [emoji1]

Hey guys,
Why isnt there any modded version of trebuchet? On any CM rom with 68 ram or less device, another third party launcher consumes 50 mb ram which is just a waste where there is a stock launcher. SO why using third party like Nova or apex? Well Trebuchet doesnt offer even basic customization? LIke changing icon, app drawer grid,unread notifications etc etc.
I dont know why CM team doesnt update it. Its the same **** since god knows how long. Or as a matter of fact, no dev has worked ont hat who are working with CM roms! Why the hell not?
Tried searching everywhere but didnt get a single mdoded version!
Please inform me if there is!
Regards
Zia
trebuchet is always the best it cannot be themed directly but it is compitable with all the CM themes. For example if you switch the CM to xperia theme the launcher also changes with it.
Hi guys,
As the title says, I'm looking for some custom Jelly Bean 4.3 Roms based on official Samsung Rom for my i9100, so it would have Touchwiz also.
Currently i keep switching between CM10.2 (4.3.1) and Wanamlite 14.7 (4.1.2).
I like Wanamlite just because it uses the Samsung Touchwiz interface i like so much. Other than that, any other stock Rom, rooted and debloated would do just about the same.
What i like about CM10.2 and cyanogenmod in general is the speed and stability the Rom feels like. Also, the latest 4.3 Roms gave me infinitely great battery lives compared to any other JB Rom i tried since. And judging from other posts and reviews on the internet, Google worked their magic on 4.3 to help small batteries run through the day (almost double the life of 4.1.2 or even worst 4.2.x).
So it seems the perfect combo for me would be a 4.3 custom with TW.
Is there such a Rom, because it seems i can't find it.
Thanks.
There is no such thing. TouchWiz is more than a launcher. It`s a full system framework integrated in pretty much everything. For example, TW ads the speed dial and video call in phone app, the swipe to quick call or message in contacts app, SNS integration, FM Radio. And of course all the other "smart" features, like smart display.
If however, you don't need any of the features mentioned above, you can find custom launchers with skins that look exactly like TW and use them on any custom rom.
Thank you for your reply.
I realize i can install some Launcher apps to get some of the TW "feel", as i already tried Apex and Nova launchers. But they don't come even close to the real TW experience. As you said, TW is more than an icon set or interface color set. It's also about built-in apps and features. I know nothing about coding and programming on Android, so i thought one could implement TW along all those apps into some custom ROM like CM10.2 (4.3).
So, i guess i was wrong.
If so, this thread can be closed.
Thank you.
What I mean is there a kitkat or a lollipop rom that is available for the gs2 that doesn't use a 3rd party launcher, like nova or apex. I never really liked any of those. Is it possible? I'm just curious. I just installed lollipop cyanmod 12.1 and loving it but really dislike the custom launcher.
Anything for kitkat?Heard it runs better on the s2

Slim roms has their slimlauncher, which is like a slimmed down version of trebuchet (the launcher in cyangenmod). What about google's launcher? I guess you're not a fan of all of the features right? You prefer simplicity and speed correct? What kind of launcher are you looking towards at?
Well I came from jellybean (neatrom) and it had the default os launcher, no third party app with annoying settings. I'm looking to go away from lollipop installed it for a day and the battery is pretty bad. Is there maybe like a touchwiz version of kitkat for the s2?

Hey,
So as per your liking, maybe you would want to try out this ROM. It is based on KitKat, and has touchwiz interface: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...atives/rom-touchwiz-resurrection-rom-t2491822
Another option for you would be to go back on a JellyBean based ROM, if you want good battery life and new touchwiz interface: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...vatives/rom-s5-unique-look-stability-t2629897

I have a condor p6 plus was running android 6 after trying a new custom ROM running android 7.1.2
I can't switch between apps they're automatically killed in background
Like if I'm gonna switch from Facebook to Instagram it starts from the beginning :/
I tried apps like memory lock and making them non optimised in battery but nothing is working :/
I know it isn't for everyone, but I really like some of the UI of MIUI - specifically the app switcher which operates vertically and displays two apps side by side.
Has anyone come across an app or launcher which offers the same app-switcher experience as MIUI on no-Xiaomi devices? Or even a complete MIUI theme? (OxygenOS,OnePlus 7 Pro)
Thanks
Hi, maybe it's possible. First your phone should be rooted and you should install miui module on it. Then you can download miui apps and run it on your custom roms.
