You're correct about xposed, but not tasker. You can use kill function without root, you can even run shell commands to query PID and subsequently kill command.

Simple one liner shell command: kill -2 `pgrep %yourapp`

Works without root, should be able to do same with swiftly. Just replace variable with a function to query the foreground app's window label and pgrep will query the PID for termination. At least that's how I think it would be done. Tasker has a dedicated global variable called %WIN that tracks foreground window label so you'll have to figure out how to do it outside of tasker(probably with accessibility). Please consider it. Thanks again.

[Android Apps and Games] mrshyde:
perfect

:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
You're right, just try it and tasker can kill apps without root. Maybe I'll add a popup menu when holding an app icon for kill app, view app info,...

When you say about shell command do you mean in ADB? I don't think 3rd app can get pid and kill it unless using accessibility. I think that tasker doesn't really kill apps, it just clears the app' memory in Ram.

Thanks a lot for your information. I'll look into it again.

Thanks so much! I'll update the translation in the next version :D
[Android Apps and Games] gr8st:
I mean basic android shell, I know adb provides debugging shell tool but I'm not sure if that's what tasker uses when executing commands. Just choose code>run shell when adding action to task and paste that pgrep command (which finds pid) in there with any app name (doesn't have to be specific package name as its grep) and you'll see it works. So, this shell command will kill tasker immediately:

kill -2 `pgrep tasker`

No need to select root. But I'm not sure how to dynamically get name of app in foreground without using tasker. Just need the window label, most likely need accessibility for that.

The hold to delete sounds ok, but like I said before I think it would be best to give user option to configure the hold function for each item in pie. And even allow multiple hold actions per item in pie as a function of hold duration. So hold for 5 seconds> engages hold function #1 (action, shortcut, favorites etc) then if held for >5 engage kill mode. The item being held in pie starts to shake or turns dark to denote kill mode is engaged then you can allow user to fling the item away from the pie as it disappears. Exactly how those in line browsers (flyperlink, link bubble etc) work when closing tabs. It's pretty fun if you can get the flinging motion working smoothly. :D

Thanks again for considering it

thuongthoi,

I just came across a bug.

With the latest update that introduces "Screen Lock" (thank you for that :) ), I got rid of an app that I used (and one that I had pinned). After uninstalling it, I went to pin another app in its places, but find that it is not possible as a blank icon is sitting in the place where my old screen lock app was. When I choose another app, Swiftly Switch does not allow me as I already have 5 other apps pinned.

Can you please make it so that when an app is removed/ uninstalled, I either get to remove it manually from the Pinned app list or Swiftly Switch should remove it automatically.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Hi, I just test with neutriNote but didn't see any problem. When I switch between neutriNote and another app, the editing note still there.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appmindlab.nano

I'm not sure I can android shell by application, never heard about it before but I'll look into it.

Thanks for your suggestion about the way to execute close app feature. Will try it :D

You can get rid of the blank icon by fling it. Sorry for the inconsistent UI.
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
But that's my problem ... I can't fill it. I even unticked all my pinned items and then tried to put it in again but I can only tick 5 and not 6 as I could do earlier. It appears that somewhere inside one is ticked cause when I go to the settings page after unticking all, there is still one left without a name.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
You can delete it by putting the finger to the icon then fling it to either the left or right side. It's really confusing, I'll fix this soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
Hey! Thanks, that did it!

I tried long pressing to see if a menu pops up or if there was something in the options. Now that I've got it ... Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] rony raj:
nice one
[Android Apps and Games] egps2:
I have tried reinstalling this app and my firmware with/without root/xposed etc but nothing I do will allow this app to start at startup. Looking through this thread it appears that I am the only user who has this issue that has persisted over multiple updates since the free xda version promotion. I really love this app but months of having to manually start it is quite annoying and I have no idea why it seems to only affect me and only since the paid version! I have already posted about this ages ago but hopefully this is not unique to me and that there is a solution out there!
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Hi, there are some users have reported that they have this problem too but unfortunately, I haven't found the reason/solution yet. As I found on google this problem happens with some HTC devices and this also happens if the app is installed on the SD card.

Can you check if SS is installed in SD card? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] egps2:
Thanks for getting back to me :) unfortunately the app is not installed on the SD card and my phone won't let me move it to the SD card anyway which I wanted to try to move it from the phone to the SD and back to the phone storage again as a test. Regardless this problem persists upon clearing data, removing and reinstalling the app. I even downloaded startup app managers which all confirmed that Swiftly Switch was correctly set up to start on start up and I used these apps to disable and re-enable startup but even that did nothing. If you can think of anything else you want me to try please don't hesitate to let me know. All other apps seem to start on startup.

I am using a G900i Galaxy S5 on Lollipop. Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Thanks for your reply. I just try to change some code but not sure it'll work. Please help me test it:

Thank you so much for your effort but this changed version still did not load at startup (I waited a while to make sure). Thanks for making the changes to the free version for testing so I don't have to reconfigure the other version! Cheers and feel free to send any more test apks :)
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Thanks, your help is a good chance for me to resolve this problem. Just pm you the new apk, this time, I add a tag to make sure the app is installed on internal memory. Please help me test it. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] egps2:
Thanks again but as before it won't start automatically. I can confirm that both this and the pro version were installed on internal memory anyway. Thanks and feel free to send any more updates my way!
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Thanks for help me test it.

Do you use any task manager? I just read that if the app is killed by user (force stop, swipe from recent list, task manager) it will go to "stop state" and can not receive boot event from the system until the user manually starts the app again.
[Android Apps and Games] egps2:
No I do not use a task manager but I do have Samsung "Smart Manager" installed which can "hibernate" apps that are not used often. However, Swiftly Switch was never stopped by that service and I manually white-listed the app just to make sure. Also, I necessarily have to manually start the app at every boot and have never force-closed it to my knowledge. Other apps that start on boot still start despite having been force-closed which is strange. Thanks anyway!

Edit: Just to make sure I restarted my phone straight after manually starting both Swiftly Switch and Swiftly Switch Free but neither loads on bootup.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Thanks for your help. I don't have any other ideas now but I'll look into it and let you know if I got something new.
[Android Apps and Games] Neodeone:
Let me try it and see how it turns out
[Android Apps and Games] yltan:
I just noticed that the version 2.3.2 prevent me from changing the setting of permission on my other apps if i turn on the Swiftly Switch screen overlay. Only way for me to enable the changing of the permissions is to disable the Swiftly Switch screen overlay. Is this normal?
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
As I know, this happens to other apps that use "Draw over other apps" too. I'm using Red moon and it has the same problem.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
I just went thru days of agony with a reset trying to figure out the app that was causing it. Certainly is this one. Have to turn off overlay setting to activate others. Its very frustrating. Only started happening after my most recent security Android update. Samsung Note 5 Sprint
[Android Apps and Games] rony raj:
use es task manager and give him root permission set startup apps by startup manager

i solved my issue right this
[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
I fixed it.

Only on 1 rooted note 5. Can't fix it on other note, as ot is not rooted.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/sams...ified-development/devs-helpingd-devs-t3321679

Under FIXES (#2) for those who are rooted.

This happened witj the latest security update. Simply turn it off (overlay) set permissions on app that needs it then turn overlays back on. Annoying I know. Temp fix until Android N and its robust permissions system.
[Android Apps and Games] gr8st:
Just updated, thanks for implementing custom order of pinned items!

Now, just need folder icons, custom hold function (hold for less then 3s), fling to kill mode (after long hold over 3s).

Thanks for continuing development!
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Thanks for your suggestion. It'll take time but I'll add that feature :)
[Android Apps and Games] egps2:
Hi, although the problem persisted this entire time it is now fixed. I updated my phone to marshmallow (Stock Samsung) and now the app starts automatically on boot-up. No idea why but I am glad it works. Thanks anyway for all your help!

Random Reboots?

(x-posted with google groups)

I installed this app yesterday on my phone, and it's amazing!

On the bad side, I've now had about 10 random reboots / crashes where there were none before. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

I had similar issues with a similar app (Slide Control), but through it was because Slide hasn't been updated in over a couple years. Now I'm wondering if it has something to do with apps with overlays or some other security issue being granted.

Haptic feedback on icons disappeared

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

Icons on top when on selecting contracts to call disappeared. There is no search field to select contacts (I have more then 1200 contacts). Some contacts have more then one phone number. It is impossible to understand which phone number to call is selected when I choose the specific person. Please add numbers below contact names to understand which number I select to call.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Glad that it work now :), still have no idea about it.

Glad that you like it!

Thanks for letting me know about the problem. I'm not sure the cause of it. It could be the draw over other app permission or the accessibility permission though I never get any report about this before. Please let me know if you found something new. Thanks.

My bad, just refactoring the code and forget about it. I'll fix it ASAP.

Can you explain more about it? Thanks!

Since now Swiftly switch support Device native shortcut may be you could try the default "Contact" shortcut on your device.
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroPDA:
I mean if I choose any icon on the recent, on the top of the screen in the middle I saw the photo of the contact with his name or the name of the app with its name. But after update it is nothing there.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Thanks for your explain. I'll fix it soon!

Do you have any problem using the device's contact shortcut?
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroPDA:
I stopped using it because photos of the contacts disappeared and just red icons appeared. But now after this update I've given it the second chance.

[MENTION=792475]thuongthoi[/MENTION], Thank you for your constant updates!

With the new update, I see that you have changed the animation. Is it possible for us to change between the old and the new one? Although the current one looks nice, I was more comfortable with the older one. The current one drops each icon one by one and sometimes, the drop speed is too slow and I end up clicking on a wrong icon.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Really?

I didn't think there are someone would like the old one. It puts me in a whirl :confused: and it animates all icons at one so it's lag sometime.

If you feel it's slow, you can try to decrease the animation time, maybe it could fix the problem( the default value is 170ms).
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
Thank you, mine was set to 350 based on the old animation. Changed it to 200 and its good now :)
[Android Apps and Games] ArgamanZa:
Really cool and well made app :good:

One thing that drives me crazy though: I want to disable the "hold recent app to see favorites", which is possible, and to use a semi circle favorites, which is also possible, but not together...

Even when both edges are set to semi circle favorites view, the instant favorite action will always show me the grid view...

Fix this and there's no doubt I'll purchase the full version :)
[Android Apps and Games] foundertom:
great app

great app but agree, being able to put it a bit higher would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:

It's working as intended. I just wasn't using it properly. By the way, it would be nice if it had the option of showing in a Flow style like Switchr has the option of doing.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Glad to hear that. I think the flow style is beautiful but not so helpful because you can only see 1 item at a time.

The app goes better and better with every update. I have only one feature request: it would be fantastic if there is an option to choose an icon one by one not only a whole icon pack. Because some icons are not change with the icon pack, for sure because they are not included in the icon pack. But with this option I can change manual with a similar icon of the icon pack.

That would be very nice! It's just only for the optic I knew but... :laugh:;)

The app is getting better day by day........happy so see the screenshots now appears in gallery........thanks to the devlopers.......i would like to say that, after taking screenshots the preview shown in the top right corner persist for about 5 seconds and i think that time needs to be shortened........the problem comes when taking continuous screenshots that those preview appears in successive screenshots.........i request you to consider this........thankyou once again for this wonderful app.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Thanks for your feedback.

If you want to take multiple screenshots, you can swipe the preview to make it disappear right away after each shot.

oh i didn't know that.......problem solved...... :good: thankyou :)
[Android Apps and Games] digitalpig82:
I tried your app more than a year ago and was really impressed by it. My main concern was the following back then:

Iirc, you said that it was a limitation that all similar apps are facing and that the problem would not be easy to solve.

What can I say? I installed it again today just to find out that you found a way to eliminate the problem. Finally, multitasking is working flawlessly! :) Yay! Now I can use your fantastic app on a daily basis!

I cannot say more than what I said back then:

:) :) :)
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:

I have to say that it doesn't work well for the app but I rarely see the problem.

Thanks for adding the haptic option! Upped the review to 5 stars for that.
[Android Apps and Games] Mj2789:
One suggestion, if possible can you add the option to define the target area as per our own descretion. What im trying to say is, currently we can use top right, middle right, bottom right cornor etc for the target area, but I want to draw the trigger area somewhere in between top right and right middle of the screen.

Could it be done?

When I elicit the switch from the edge of the screen , it gets stuck there and does not let me interact with anything on the screen. However the status bar is accessible. I have to kill the app to get out of the situation.
[Android Apps and Games] SimurghXDA:
Not working for me.

I followed the two easy steps to allow permissions but after that I cannot see the app in action... Nothing is showing on the desktop...

Tested on : Lollipop 5.02 (RedMi Note 3 3GO 32GB with MIUI 7.0.22 Chinese Stable ROM)
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
I think the fixed position is more easy for setting and if you draw the trigger it would be harder to find when orientation changed.

This is odd, did you try set the bigger trigger area?
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
I just update the app version to 1.05 which add the option to set the edge at bottom of screen and fix some bug.

Enjoy!

[Android Apps and Games] pieceofphil:
I know this is unrealistic and most likely not the way you want this app to work, but would it be possible to include a swipe up from bottom with the same function as swipe from the side just that the circles appear on the bottom part of the mobile phone?

Would of course only be practical for hardware key phones.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
The app already supported that. You can have it by open the app -> Edge1/Edge2 tab -> Trigger zone settings -> Position -> choose "Bottom center".
