Guest Richard_Arkless Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 there is one called task switcher Android Freeware I use that currently but I wouldnt mind having a widget on the home screen that imitates that (shows all the running applications and I can go to that window by tapping it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called AppSwipe! i think... Edit: Actually re-reading your post I don't think it does do what you want lol Edited February 28, 2010 by starkos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest starkos Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I edited it a bit and provided a quick design of what I am looking for Yea that's a pretty good idea.. that is actually how AppSwipe! is but unfortunately it's an app in the notification bar rather than a widget :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Auxx Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 There is no need for widget - just press and hold Home button and Alt+Tab style task manager will appear. It works on my Acer Liquid with stock 1.6. Did not know it until this morning, now removed all widgets/apps for task switching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CedricGatay Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I will try to do such a widget ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CedricGatay Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Done, first beta on market (Switcher widget), barcode-scan this http://bit.ly/9wwZzN ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CedricGatay Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Is there someone with a Droid/Milestone to test it and provide a logcat (if FC), I cannot reproduce that FC (see app comments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works on my Acer Liquid with stock 1.6. Did not know it until this morning, now removed all widgets/apps for task switching. Thats not a task switcher. It's a list of the last apps or most used apps you used. Pretty sure it says that in the Manual - It certainly does for the HTC desire.

Guest Profete162 Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) You may have a try with TaskOS: http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.profete162.TaskOS/, that's something I had in mind while developing it. It can also kill task you don't use when dragging icos to the top. You can launch it with a long press on search button or camera button ( for the camera, just go in setings because I don't want to remove your camera button ;-) ) I think that CedricGatay has done something very cool with his widget!

Guest Webreaper Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Thats not a task switcher. It's a list of the last apps or most used apps you used. Pretty sure it says that in the Manual - It certainly does for the HTC desire. It's both. The list of recently-used apps includes some of those which are running.

Guest xpresident Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Is there a task switcher out there which displays all running apps in the notification bar? IE it has an icon in the notification bar and when we open the notification panel it shows the running apps in its entry. That would be the best task switcher I think, as itd be switching tasks with only two taps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
