In your description is not showing have Nexus 6P and Recently is generally available for every ROM and kernel. Problem here is Google with of their new "features" to kill app aggressive in backgrounds and they're change this process continuously. Btw, what kernel you have ?

But my signature does and even through Tapatalk it does. What kernel? Everything stock, including the ROM. Just rooted. Just the way I like it.

It works as expected if I use the back button instead of the home button. (I switched to using the home button instead a few months back because of a particular app.)
[Android Apps and Games] vertigoelectric:
I started using this app quite some time ago, and loved it. I activated the "Pseudo Pro" mode to try out some of the pro features, and for a while everything was great. However, eventually I noticed that it simply stopped working. It wouldn't clear recent items. After a while of being unable to get it to work, I sadly decided to uninstall it. Some time later, I wanted to give it another try, so I installed it again from the Google Play Store. Oddly enough, it installed the Pro version. I don't recall purchasing Pro (maybe I did...?).

Anyway, now I'm having a different problem with it. It doesn't activate on device boot, regardless of setting. After I reboot the device I have to open the app and toggle it off/on every time.

Additionally (and this happened with my first install as well), the app seems to cause my device to vibrate unnecessarily. When I open the task list after the "age limit" time has passed, it vibrates once. Perhaps this is when it is clearing the items. Then, usually several seconds later, it will do three short vibrations. Are these vibrate functions necessary, and can they be disabled?

Oh yeah, one more thing... I use the Stay Alive app to keep the screen on when certain apps are active. I've found lately that it doesn't always keep the screen on, and I thought it was a bug with Stay Alive. However, after I uninstalled Recently, I didn't seem to have the problem any more. Now that I've installed it again, the problem has returned. There seems to be a correlation between the Recently app and Stay Alive's ability to remain active. It's also worth noting that this is when using Stay Alive's "select app" mode, which keeps the screen on based on which app is actively in the foreground. Is it possible that Recently is invisibly stealing foreground focus at some point?

Is there any other kind of application similar to Recently or might there ever be a chance to support the Legacy OS?
[Android Apps and Games] vertigoelectric:
It's unfortunate that I was unable to get "Recently" to work properly. I don't recall what the problems actually were, as I uninstalled it quite some time ago, but I wanted to say here that I found "Recents Tuner" to be a worthy alternative.

I keep losing my desktop.

I'll open the phone and the desktop just flashes on and off.

Can't do anything like pull down the notifications.

Access settings, click icons, nothing.

A reboot temporarily fixes the issue till it happens again.

I'm pretty sure I've got it narrowed down to Recently.

Because it only happens when Recently isn't frozen.

But kicking off a logcat and waiting for it to happen again, well it never happens again when logcat is recording. So, ugh.

I guess this post is just for you to keep it in mind.

In case anyone else reports the same thing.

--Google Pixel 3 XL

--Stock ROM & kernel

--No kernel apps running

--Battery optimization = Not optimized (for Recently as well as Magisk)

--Format (not just wipe) SD card & reinstall OS doesn't fix anything.

Hmm, nice concept! I can't seem to get it to actually work on my CM12 OPO though. I flipped the switch and allowed root permission, but even when setting allowed apps to 1, nothing changes. :/

Would it possibly require a reboot or should it work without doing so?

Also, [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]: I think a great feature that I'd definitely donate for would be to specify apps/activities to hide (such as Settings, Battery, or whatever). :good:

Chainfire proved again to be a god among humans... This app is not only clever on the usability front, it also speeded up a lot my recents view, making it usable again; it was always so crowded that it took a bunch of seconds to open, up to the point that I ended up not using it anymore.

Thank you Chainfire, Kudos to you for your ideas and efforts!!

Any chance you add shorter periods of time for how long apps stay in the overview?

I would like something like 15 minutes, because if I use the Recents screen, then to switch between apps I used really recently.

The hide settings option seems to have the unintended effect of not allowing you to open app info. Dragging an app from the app drawer to the app info overlay briefly opens app info then immediately closes it. Disabling this option resolves this issue.

Awesome app since xposed don't work on 5.1 yet. Went pro... Future request circle around clear all lines can be hard to see over white recent cards
[Android Apps and Games] Arstoien:
I'm using Nexus 5 with 5.1 and I've noticed something strange. If I've got the app running, whenever I back out of any app, the app is actually closed, not like the normal Android behaviour. If I disable Recently, then it's like normal.

Example: If I take an HDR photo with the camera app, and right after I took the shot, I hit the back button, it closes the camera app and the photo stops being processed and doesn't show up in the gallery. If Recently isn't running, everything is as it should be.

Example 2: If I go to System Monitor app and open a floating window for monitoring, if I tap Back, then the floating window closes, just as if I'd swiped manually the app from the Recents list. If Recently isn't running, backing out of System Monitor isn't closing the floating window.

Example 3: Spotify stops playing music if I back out.

From what I understand from the description, this is not intended behaviour. I can't locate any reason other than if Recently is running or not. Reproducable 100% of tries. Any settings in the app, including defaults, give the same result. Tapping Home button acts normally, it's just the Back button that seems to close the apps completely and instantly.

PS: After a restart the described behaviour happens only with Age Limit set to Running Apps Only, and doesn't happen if the slider is at 1hr or more. Still misbehaving though.

PS2: After some time, it returns to what I described initially and settings don't matter – it just closes the apps if I back out. And it's not related to memory leak.

For starters you should have 3 small horizontal bars on the bottom right corner. Tap it, that will clear all your recent apps. A function lollipop doesn't have. Then you can start limiting how many apps to show etc

Obviously I have the app installed and I have been checking. Nothing I change in settings works visually. I do not have the other kill all button even though it is enabled.

Even though this app is installed there is absolutely no change or evidence present on the recent page.

I guess this app just doesn't work with the S5. Guess I should have waited before buying pro.

It's not the device that's arty fault here, it's likely a conflict with your custom rom. It'll be up to [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] to see if he'll be able to diagnose the cause and fix it.

Please, could you change the icon for the button to clear all recents? That bars are very difficult to see over an app having a clear or white background.

What about to add a colour circle (like the material design ones) with an X inside like other custom roms does? Also, having the chance to choose the position of the button will be great: top left, top right... etc.
