same observation here for my at&t s5 on lollipop. no effect. no 3-bar icon on lower right corner.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I have just uploaded v1.20 - you can grab it from the Play Store in a few hours, or from the first post here.

It should solve the issue of nothing happening at all on some recent Samsung firmwares (such as anything on the S6).

The 'Clear All' button not being visible is a very specific TouchWiz+S5 issue that is nigh impossible to solve on my end.

Also, I know I have not generally responded to feature requests made in this thread, but please consider that many of them are simply not possible to do (others I have simply not had the time for).

If still nothing is happening whatsoever, please report so, and include device and firmware details. If you're Android-savvy, check the "ps | grep recently" command output, if the UI is visible, it should contain "eu.chainfire.recently", and if the background process is running (the one that actually performs all the work), it should contain "eu.chainfire.recently:root".
[Android Apps and Games] Arstoien:
Did you have a chance at looking into the problem that several of us here reported? The one when you back out of an app, that app actually gets closed and killed (I suppose) and any background activity that would normally continue, like music playback, is stopped as well.

I understand, if you haven't. Just wanted to check if you've looked into it.

At my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 it doesn't work. I have a huge list of apps in Overview. Here is screenshot with "ps | grep recently" under user and root. What else can I provide to solve the issue?
[Android Apps and Games] Arstoien:
Just thought to jump in and say what I've found related to my problem – apps closing when backing out (using the Back key). It seems it's actually the intended behaviour, or perhaps there's just no way around it.

When you're in an app and you hit Home button, Recently considers this app "running", which makes sense. When you hit Back button though, it doesn't consider it running, even if it's got notification going or running service for music playback or overlay, etc. So since this app is not "running", it's getting closed if the conditions in the settings are met – if it reaches the "Age limit" or "Entry limit". If "Entry limit" is set to "Running apps only", then it's immediately closed.

Initially I thought that Recently just removes the app's card from the Android Recents list, but it seems it's doing kinda the same thing as if you'd swiped the card away yourself. And I assume there's no way around this. So what I could suggest [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION], if possible, to find a "smarter" way of detecting the running apps, even if it requires Recently to need more permissions. For example I would think any app that has notification should be considered running. As far as I understand that's what Android itself does.

I'd greatly appreciate to hear your quick opinion or if you plan to look into it or not. And please don't take my post as demanding, criticizing, or anything like that. You're amazing dev, who's got perhaps the most (positive) influence on all our phones.
[Android Apps and Games] rgrever2:
If this is a Recently function (haven't tested it on stock ROM), I prefer it as is. If I want to exit an app I exit out of it using the back button. If I prefer to leave it running in the background, I use the home button. Keeps it simple, convenient and efficient. I hated having to go through multiple screens and button presses every time I wanted to exit Pandora or Slacker. Just my opinion

Troubleshooting

Hi!

unfortunately I have absolutely no effect when using the app. I downloaded the free version... and directly bought the pro version... as I admit I did not even doubt, that it will work :) Only tell that to tell what version I use... I don't want my money back or anything... as you deserve the support for all your work anyway. But I would like to know why it doesn't work... do some troubleshooting... of course hoping, that it will actually work eventually :fingers-crossed:

So I double-checked this Thread:

Ad 1) yes... enabled.

Ad 2) I am using a Sony Z3C (D5803) with debloated .726 LP Stock ROM following this Thread:

http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/wip-debloat-lp-690-correct-functioning-t3076161

Ad 3) I use it for a few days now and see absolutely no change... means: I still get dozens of "recent" apps in the list. And if I click on the "older" ones I can say: they are definitely not running anymore... at least they have to completely reload everything (that's how I understand "not running")

My settings inside the app:

Recently Pro v1.20

Age Limit: Running Apps only

Entry Limit: Running Apps only

Launch on boot: checked

Clear all: unchecked

Google Searches: 1

Hide Settings: unchecked

Root is granted by Super Su Pro (so luckily not the first time I try to support your great dev work!)

Can you help me with this problem?

Thanks a lot in advance!

After reading all recent comments, including my own experience, it becomes quite obvious that Recently doesn't work on SAMSUNG TouchWiz LP 5.0 ROMs.

We all know you are very busy... but if I may a question:

1. Do you have plans to work on a fix for TW ROMs?

As others here, I'm ready and willing to help.

2. Could you instruct us on how we could help you? log files, or???

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] benzo:
It works very well, but is it possible to add an option to vertically move the button to close all the recents? Maybe in pro version? Cause on Xperia phone this button overlaps the mini apps bar on the bottom of recents screen.

Thank you for all your good works.

Hi chainfire, I'm a pro user. I would ask you if there is any possibilities for us to change position to clear all button since often when I try to clear some tabs I accidentally touch your button and clear all tabs.... I think that would be great to have it in the upright or bottom-left side. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] gehess:
Works as advertised. A must have app for Lollipop!
[Android Apps and Games] Wheemer:
It does not work at all...
[Android Apps and Games] Looki75:
Agreed, Samsung LP ROMs have something particular that prevents recently to work properly...
[Android Apps and Games] tomcatoggo:
...unfortunately not only Samsung as I could show :(
[Android Apps and Games] saban56:
works awesome
[Android Apps and Games] Wheemer:
The problems with this app have been reported for a while now and yet there is still no word from the dev. That is ridiculous, considering I use a few of his apps and have bought them all. I kind of expect a bit more attention then this. I am regretting my purchase of this app for sure.

Does he often ignore problems?
[Android Apps and Games] rgrever2:
Are you still using a custom ROM? Have you tried stock? The Dev has a stock S5 and states per his posts that it works with the exception of the clear all button. If it works on stock but not your custom rom you should ask that Dev to add support or add the same functionality.

And as a side note, as you stated earlier, you should always try before you buy. Especially if you are going to continue with the Samsung line. They seem to do things differently than other manufacturers and its becoming more and more common to see custom apps struggling on Samsung.
[Android Apps and Games] Arstoien:
And just to add, buying this app is essentially support for the dev. You've got all options available with a checkmark in the settings even if you didn't spend money. And considering this is the same dev, who's responsible for so many devices being rooted, and most of those devices owners haven't spent a dime that went to the dev, I don't think it's such a waste of money.

Don't mean to target you in particular with this post.
[Android Apps and Games] Wheemer:
Yes of course you are right... I just read it's all fixed yet it is not fixed for me.

I am running Alliance Rom on Bell S5, it is hard to tell if anything is even affected by this app. It seems to work the same for me whether this app is installed or not.
[Android Apps and Games] Arstoien:
Make sure it's installed and has SU permissions. Then go in, make sure the toggle in the settings is ON and set the Age limit to Running only. Then swipe away everything from your recents, open a few apps and back out of them. If you don't see their tiles in the recents, the app is working. If you do see them, give it a couple of minutes or restart your phone and try again. If you restart your phone, make sure to check the "Launch on boot" option in the settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Looki75:
After I tested more thoroughly this app, I found the following (keep only running apps mode):

* If you exit an app with the back button, it won't be listed in "recents"

* If you exit an app with the HOME button, it WILL be listed in "recents"... whether is IS still in memory or NOT... even after hours when Android LMK already killed the app in the background to reclaim memory...

Last point means: if you don't use the back button but rather home, then recently has absolutely no impact.

Why use HOME button and not back button? Because BACK makes you navigate through the app's activities until you reach the main activity on which the last hit on BACK actually exits the app. You can happen to have to hit the back button 5-10 times before being able to actually exit...

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] could you please look into that and actually keep only the apps which are really loaded in memory (running apps)?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Arstoien:
I think the app is running exactly as intended and I don't expect any major code changes. Would be nice to work as you're saying but…

Hi

I read more comments that request an obvious modified.. The recent button on top or in the middle and more visible!!

[Android Apps and Games] Looki75:
Testing further...

It appears that the service doesn't start at boot on my phone...

I have to manually open the app and switch on/off immediately to have the decide up and running...

This happens after every single boot. [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] would be nice if your could look into that...

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Arstoien:
Would help if you give us your phone model, android version, and any custom rom you're using. You sure you don't have an app stopping apps from starting on boot? Gotta say on my end it starts perfectly. My only problem is that the app goes off memory due to the memory leak but I guess that's up to Google to fix. And damn, isn't it about time to do so...
[Android Apps and Games] Looki75:
Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F

Lollipop 5.0

Official Samsung ROM + rooted

I don't use any app stopping startups. Recently starts ok but doesn't "activate".

After testing more, I realized that shortly after boot, "Activity Manager" is not available. If I launch a shell, I get this error:

After few minutes (around 3 minutes) it is available.

This, somehow, is preventing Rencently to work at boot (understand well: service is launched but doesn't do the job) ...

My workaround :

*Tasker's profile "at boot"

*which waits for Activity Manager to be up to speed

*and then launches a shell to send a broadcast to the attention of Recently:

This workaround is doing well, but [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] can you help with that?

Or anyone: any similar issue you know of?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Looki75:
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION], this is a new idea... Could you implement the possibility to create a "Clear all recents" shortcut on homescreen? This way, we could use that in different ways (right on homescreen of course, but also triggered by Tasker or LMT, etc...)

Thanks in advance!

Galaxy S4 AT&T OC3 not working

I installed because I use this on my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket running the unofficial CM12 and it works perfectly. I even bought pro. But, on my Galaxy S4 running lollipop 5.0.1, all of this app's features do not work. I can send you my logcat but it could be contaminated with other root applications such as ROM Toolbox Pro and Lucky Patcher.

With all thanks :),

[Android Apps and Games] Yakandu:
Lets see how I can explain myself... While "Hide settings" is enabled I can't enter app settings from the launcher, (grab the app to the top of the screen from the app drawer) because it instantly closes the settings app. But i can enter app settings from settings-apps. Is this a bug?
[Android Apps and Games] hallstevenson:
1) Yes

2) Yes (running logcat shows various output)

3) Yes

I've cleared data and started over as well. Still nothing.... My ROM is Viper (latest, v2.2.0) on an HTC M9. Ironically, one of the ROM's devs referred people to this app, so I presume it works for him. I posted a reply to his post but never got a response.
[Android Apps and Games] MagnumPOS:
Make sure the application has root privileges. 2-install latest busybox. 3-make sure the app isn't being over rided by another recent menu app or xposed modules.
[Android Apps and Games] hallstevenson:
1) Yes, it has root privileges. Just removed them and relaunched Recently and tried again.

2) Didn't know that was needed. Will install it.

3) No xposed installed at all. No other 'recent' type app installed either.

Installed busybox and tried again and still no luck...

I really like this app, but after a while it stops working. I am on S5 G900f Lollipop . Is there something i can do about that?
[Android Apps and Games] Looki75:
It is when you reboot that it doesn't auto-start in our phones! (I also have G900F).

More precisely: service starts but due to "Activity Manager" not being available immediately, the service cannot do its job.

Complicated but I found a workaround - see below. I posted in this thread but nobody seems to care!

Note that the apps are removed from the "recents" list only if you exit them with the back key or if you kill them.

If you just "exit" them by hitting the home key, they will be kept in the "recents" list. This is intended.

Tell me if you need more precise instructions about the tasker's profile...

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hypothrax:
I recently upgraded to WM6. I had backed up all my sms messages in Outlook on my PC which I copied back to my device. Since the device recognizes all the messages as new, it marks them as unread. The hassle is when you have to mark them as read. And you can't select all and mark them as read because if you try that mistake, your XDA is going to go to sleep and there is no telling when will it wake up. So once in a while, when I upgrade and I have to copy all SMS messages back to the device, I mark them read doing 30-40 messages at a time.

Sometimes, I have noticed that when you are done marking them as read, there is a bug in the software and screen status at the bottom as well as the folders list shows 1 message as unread. It also appears on the Today screen: "Text Message: 1 unread message"

Now, my question is, how can I mark all messages as read. One way is to hard reset the device and re do the whole process. I am sure that will work, but its a tedious. Is there any shortcut to it?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hypothrax:
Oh and I moved all messages in the Inbox to the Deleted Items folder, now the Inbox is completely empty but it still shows 1 unread message. There should be a way to reset the count? Is there?

I have tried running the fixunreadmessages.exe utility on it. It reset the count of the Inbox to 0 but the Today screen and the folder list still show 1 unread message.
