[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Logcat is monitored for certain events Recently responds to. If you disable logcat (Android Logger), things will therefor break.

I'm not sure what the issue is, but it cannot simply be fixed with an ongoing notification. The core part of Recently runs outside of the normal Android space. It is not auto-killed by Android because Android doesn't have the permissions for that. There's another reason it's dieing, but figuring out what that is can be difficult.
[Android Apps and Games] dhrv:
Thanks for explicitly clarifying this!

Regarding the auto-kill:

On my device (i9505 with TW 5.0.1) Recently does not automatically get killed, it always runs in the background (checked with "ps | grep chainfire"). But after a long time not pressing the Recents button, it takes some seconds to display the Recents menu. On subsequent button presses, it appears almost instantly. I know there is a lag problem with the Recents menu in this firmware, but is this the reason for this lag, or is Recently being "unloaded" from memory or something similar?
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
This is all the firmware, and none Recently.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Just uploaded v1.35, let me know if that improves the issue. If not, further debugging is needed. Logcats may be useful. If needed I can send you a debug version that logcats all sorts of things.

alternative clear all button location

Hi [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION],

the clear all function is fantastic, however if the screen pin option is on, the buttons stacks and makes pinning a bit tricky to click, could you add option or move the clear all to the upper part of the screen? thank you. screen shot attached.
[Android Apps and Games] Monsieur_Bond:
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

I have just started using Recently app on android 5.1

And the app does what it says.

I have a few suggestions for the app, if possible please consider.

1. Is it possible for you to add animation effect when pressing the clear all recent apps from overview by pressing the clear all button? (3 horizontal line button)

Same effect as we get when we clear all notifications from notifaction pane. All tabs going from right to left or left to right upon pressing the clear all.

2. Have option to exclude some apps from clear all? (Pinning app to overview)

For example: If there are 10 recent apps in overview but Recently is configured from Recently settings to exclude app A and B.

Now app A and B are 2 of the 10 apps in recent.

On clicking clear all these two apps A and B should be there but other 8 should be clear from recent.

To remover the app A and B from overview, manually swip out or press the X button.

3. Have option to position the clear all button (Botton Right, Bottom Middle, Bottom Left and Top Right, Top Middle Top Left)

Let me know your thoughts on it.

[Android Apps and Games] Torrentula81:
Anyone else notice that if another app is using accessability settings like nova launcher or greenify recently stops working. I have show only open and close all button checked so its easy to tell when it is isn't working. Remove accessibility, open recently, and its back to normal.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Not happening for me on stock Google 6.0.1. greenify accessibility enabled. What system /device are you on.
[Android Apps and Games] Torrentula81:
I'm using Samsung Galaxy tab s2 (T810) Does it for me in 5.1 and 6. As soon as I turn on accessibility for another app it stops working. I've got greenify auto hibernating without needing accessebility and changed swipe down motion in Nova launcher to not be the notification bar so I'm fine. I don't think it was always this way but I've flashed an old backup 6 months back and it still happens. A few reviews on Google play confirm it all of a sudden stopped working.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I wonder if it's related to the ongoing Samsung accessibility bugs.
[Android Apps and Games] ThePixelHunter:
Bug report!

Nexus 6P stock ROM, build number MTC19X rooted w/ Xposed. When the option "hide settings entries" is checked, Recently will pull the user out of certain settings menus. This always happens when entering settings for an app through any app other than the main settings screen.

Example: in Nova Launcher, long press an app and view App Info. From there, tap on any option, like Permissions. Recently closes the page despite the user being active in it.

The same problem does not exist if app permissions are accessed by first navigating to the Settings app, then Apps, then the app, and then the permissions page. Only when the parenting Settings app was not the one to open the Permissions screen, does this happen. If helpful, I can provide a screen recording.

Thanks!

Am I missing something ?

Why don't more people want this to work on Nougat or is an alternative available that I do not know of ?

I'm sure if enough people request Chainfire to update the app he might do that , despite being super busy in other numerous projects, but for that to happen he would need to be sure that this app has a reasonably huge demand among users . . . .

Sorely missing that clutter free overview

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] mate if you're reading this please share , whether it's not feasible to update the app for Nougat for technical reasons or that you cannot spare time because of other projects , which is totally OK, but a reply from you will settle this wait for good .
[Android Apps and Games] kh34d:
I'm agree with you. [emoji6]
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I still haven't really looked at Nougat from a usage perspective (my daily driver is still on MM), but I thought they made major changes to the recents systems so that it was more like Recently actually?
[Android Apps and Games] hk.happy:
Thanks for the prompt reply man :)

No , the overview system is still exactly like marshmallow .

Even if one exits the app , not by pressing the home button but by exiting from within the app , it still resides in the overview section , and with time the overviews gets filled with all the apps you have opened , and you have to swipe them away manually .

I don't know if there is a limit to the number of apps that can get in there , but it's definitely more than 30-40 .

There is the clear-all button at the top yes, but I liked the way your app handled things , namely just keeping the last 10-15 apps(according to the number selected in it) and the apps we choose to keep running . It kept the overview section clutter-free and kept the recently opened apps easily accessible , not lost in a crowd of countless apps , exactly how it should have been in the first place .

I , and several others who have posted here , and I'm sure many more , shall be very happy if you upgrade the app to work on Nougat mate . Whenever , and if , you get time, please take a look at it . It used to be among one of the first apps that I used to install after flashing a marshmallow ROM ; miss it on Nougat .

Also , thank you for all the wonderful work you have done , helping everyone root their mobile easily among others :)

Cheers mate :laugh:

Edit - Seems like the app IS limiting the # of apps showing in the recents list, but the clear button doesn't display (although CF does say may not work on all devices)

Also, i re-enabled tasker and roboform in accessibility and the recents list grew past my limit of 5. But when i went in and turned the app off thrn on again, it seems to be limiting again - but to my limit +1 (6 total)

Hey man, thanks, I can't live without this! Are you comfortable with it being packaged in a rom with full credits and encouragement for users to upgrade to the paid version (similiar to supersu)? It is the most unique and helpful app for negating the ugly direction android took with its recents' handling.

Take care!

Or even better, something similar to the image that I hang :o

Equally thank you for your work :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Arstoien:
Unfortunatelly it equals to you swiping the apps away. So in other words, yes. Running a device with a lot of RAM doesn't feel great to close down apps and unload them from the ram. However, actulally closing them down is indeed a neat feature in some use cases for some devices. You can't change the behaviour though.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION],

I guess you have noticed the recents menu evolution on Pixel C since 7.1.2, do you think it would be possible to tweak it a little bit so that it can display more than 8 apps -maybe onto a second(then an eventual third etc) recent screen one could swipe left to access ?

If yes, would you consider adding this in recently ?

There also seems to have a "bug" (or is that a feature? With Google we never know ;) ) that prevents the second recents button tap to close recents &getting back to home screen when there's no recents. I guess this might be an easier thing to fix with recently than the above tweak to implement.

Being able to swipe apps away instead of tapping the X button to kill those would be great too. If that's a doable thing, there again, please let me know if you'd consider it.
