I mean It's lot of steps for user want to get this feature: root -> xposed -> UnrestrictedGetTasks . The easiest way for me is using UnrestrictedGetTasks, hopefully I'll find the way the only need root.
[Android Apps and Games] Snah:
I agree. The best would be if it's possible to implement without the need for Xposed and the UnrestrictedGetTasks module. I discussed and read about the need for it for Switchr either here or on Google+. The conclusion was there was no workaround, but that was a year or so back, so maybe there is. No matter what, it would be a great feature to have and Xposed would work for the time being. Remember apps like Greenify require it for advanced functions too. Anyway, I appreciate your hard work. I'm just too used to that Switchr function to be able "go back". [emoji41]

[Written by my thumbs on a state-of-the-art Nokia 3110.]
[Android Apps and Games] MajorWinters:
Looks promising! I will test instead of Switchr for few days.

I am using only the favorit mode. Is it possible to change the way to edit the favorit shortcut? I guess maybe press and hold an icon to change the position? Because its a little bit annonying if you have (like me :D) 30 Shortcuts in this mode to get the right order for personal use.

Another thing would be great if you dont can choose an app twice in another shortcut slot.

So maybe in first step you choose the apps in a list and in the second step you do the order like above with press and hold the icon and change the position. This would be awesome!

anyway keep up your work!
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Great idea, the drag and drop in favorite is must have :D
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
It also happen to me 1 to 3 time a day, trying increase the sampling time and test it for a few days.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
I just update the 2.2.0 to the beta channel which focuses on a new UI, adding app intro and improving recent list.

Join this community then folow the link in the sticky post to help me test new feature, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Just release 2.2.3 version, really excited about the "Instant favorite" feature. More detail:

- New feature: Instant favorite. Now you don't have to wait to show the Favorite Grid. Enable this feature in Quick Action setting

- New mode: Favorite in circle - show favorite shortcuts in semi-circle pattern. Enable this feature in Edge setting

- Added the Recent Button to list of Action

Thanks [MENTION=1489747]ZeroPDA[/MENTION] for helping me translate the app to Russian.

Please vote for the app if you haven't, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Sc4ryB3ar:
Is this fully open source (i.e. can we freely include this in a custom ROM build if we wanted....)?
[Android Apps and Games] Speaking:
I select circle mode but when I try to use the app it has gone back to grid mode.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
No, it's not an open source app.

Hi, the "instant favorite" only trigger the grid favorite. If you set to circle mode, you can access circle favorite by holding one of recent icon for about 1 second.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
I'm experiencing a weird issue. The app is forcing me into RECENT APPS when I long press ring for outter option. I have it set to phone, it loads phone but drops into recent apps a millisecond later. Any suggestion? I can show a video.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Thanks for letting me know. It's weird, just test on my phone and it happen to me too. I'll fix it in the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] gr8st:
Is it possible to get swiftly to use input focus (when keyboard gets requested) correctly? Right now, I have a search widget app called searchbar ex pinned to the circle and when it launches, keyboard doesn't pop up like its suppose to. LMT had no issues with this and its one of last few things still holding back from fully converting.

Otherwise, this switcher is great! Keep it up!
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
I just try Searchbar ex and have the same problem. I sure that I can fix it by making an exception for starting it, the next version will come next week :D.
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
[MENTION=6461271]thuongthoi056[/MENTION]

While you are at it, can I also make a request:

When the keyboard is active, is it possible to make the time of the Edge that is in the keyboard area to have a longer hold time before it appears? Right now, as soon as I long press on the keyboard to get 0 (Zero), the Edge is activated. Can you include something to say if keyboard is active, all edges that are in the area of the keyboard (Bottom left, Bottom right and Bottom) should have a longer user defined hold time. Edges that are not in the keyboard area (Top left & Top Right) should function as normal.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Thanks for suggesting. Actually, there is no official way to know when the keyboard is active. I have tried by listening to notification but not every phone have the notification when it appears so I decided I'll try it later and focus on another feature. I'll try to look into it again.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Just update version 2.2.5 to beta channel:

- Direct call/SMS

- Folder support

- Indicator

- Fix bugs with Dial action and SearchBar Ex

Please let me know if you found any bug :D
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroPDA:
It doesn't start at all.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Hi, thanks for testing the app.

Please give me more detail, did it crash? If it does, please send me the log when the crash dialog appear.
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroPDA:
It disappears immediately after start without any report of crash on Huawei Mate 8 phone (Android 6.0) and on the Huawei Mediapad M2-A01L Tablet (Android 5.1.1)
[Android Apps and Games] Speaking:
Working great except when you set up a contact to dial you can't choose home/work/mobile number.
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
For those who are getting a crash, just clear your cache and data and it will work again. The only problem is that you have to go through the entire process of customising your settings again.
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroPDA:
You're right! Thank you!

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 PM ----------

Feature request: please add the possibility to add contacts (1) using search, because I have more 1000 contacts (2) some contacts have 2-4 numbers, therefore I need the possibility of adding a contact with his specific phone number.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
I have the PRO version. I don't see the beta I guess. I am signed up but it doesn't update. When will we see the update? The dialer bug ? is irritatin. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Thanks!

Thanks, I'll look into it.

Just to make sure, after joining the G+ community you have to sign the beta test by the link:

It takes time for me after sign up too.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Hi, I just upload the 2.2.6(Beta) version which fixes bugs from the previous version.

This version may conflict with the 2.2.5. If the app crashes please try to clear its data. Sorry for the inconvenient.

﻿
[Android Apps and Games] Speaking:
Crashing even after clearing data.
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
For whatever reason, the "Power" action is not working now (both 2.2.5 & 2.2.6). Have you changed anything with respect to the "Power" action and permissions?
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Please send the crash report after it happens (by tapping the "Report" button in the dialog that appears after a crash). Thanks.

No, it still works on my device. Please try to reinstall the app. It seems like Google usually make changes to the update apk file to make it small and sometimes breaks it.
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
Thanks, I uninstalled and re-installed it and it works fine.

And you know what? It automatically found all my old settings (the one prior to the one I uninstalled) from somewhere.

Nice now :) I like the indicators!
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroPDA:
I found a new bug. After reinstalling and setting all settings new and assigning contacts to call in Favorites after reboot all the photos of the contacts in favorites were substituted with red faces. It happened twice after setting them (contacts in favorites) again.

Feature Request: I have 1350 contacts. It is very difficult to scroll to set favorites. Please, provide search for setting contacts.
[Android Apps and Games] GorJessSpazzer:
Is there an option to black list where swiftly can appear? I mean when I'm playing games it triggers the app unintentionally and I can tap another app by accident closing my game
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Did you mean that the contact's photos were substituted with the default icon after reboot? It's odd, cause the contact thumbnails are getting at the time it appears. Did it continue to happen or just twice?

1350 it's a lot, I'll consider adding the search bar, thanks!

The app only knows which app is running when you trigger it so it can't automatically disable by a blacklist. But game usually in landscape mode so maybe an option to disable the edge when the phone is in landscape can help.
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroPDA:
The problem appears just twice because I didn't give permissions to Swiftly. Now I gave them and it survives reboot. Thank you for adding search bar in the feature.
[Android Apps and Games] gr8st:
Odd bug, Swiftly can't see XDA labs forum shortcut that gets placed in the launcher. It can see the normal shortcut, but not the optional one that you can create through settings ( see screen shot). I'd like to pin it to my favs, any idea how to fix it? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] GorJessSpazzer:
Yeah that's right! One of my games is in landscape mode and that's where I have the problem, so it would be really great to have an option like what you said, only in landscape to no trigger it, hope you can implement it and thank you for your hard work :good:
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
I think it because it's a shortcut and Swiftly Switch hasn't supported shortcut yet.
[Android Apps and Games] destroyletter:
It is based on how much battery
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
I believe that it almost consume no battery life cause it do nothing in background in only does the job when you trigger it.
[Android Apps and Games] gr8st:
Hmm, it doesn't appear as a shortcut in any other launcher application, just as a normal application. Still not sure why it doesn't appear in swiftly, any other ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
I have PRO. I PAID. The beta is linked to the free version. I've been on BETA since you started it. Which is why I oaidfor the apps features. If I download it, it gives me 2 versions. Is there anything I will be missing from PRO if i switch to free beta just so i can use the fixed version? I've had this bug for a while. It is annoying.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
I think is a kind of shortcut cause I don't see it in the Phone Setting -> App list. I'll look into it soon.

I have the beta version for both free and pro. You seem used the link for the free version. The link below is for the pro:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.de_studio.recentappswitcher.pro[/QUOTE]

And I just release the latest version to the production channel. Hope it could fix the bug.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
You're correct. I as a part of the wrong beta test group. Thanks for the link.

AND A BIG THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSTANT SUPPORT AND UOGRADES.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Just publish the 2.2.10 version which support Shortcuts(include tasker action) and the Sound/vibrate shortcut :D
[Android Apps and Games] Speaking:
Working great, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] schwartz.matthew.e:
This looks just kind LMT Launcher but less refined... Or am I missing something?
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Hi, the main advantage of swiftly switch is that it doesn't need root access. Besides the access to favorite apps, shortcut you can also switch between recent apps. Hope you like it.
[Android Apps and Games] Fmstrat:
Hey, just wanted to report a bug.

On the Samsung Note 5 "back" is no longer functioning. It's been like this for a few versions of SS now. I've tested on two Note 5s, one with the latest Samsung ROM update and one that's an update behind. Screenshots of device info are attached.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Hi, I just pm you the build version of the app to test the "back" function/

This is the build version with different package name so you can install and test it without uninstalling the current version and lose all setting.

If the "back" function version works well please uninstall Swiftly switch and then reinstall it from play store. If it doesn't work please let me know, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Fmstrat:
The preview build worked. Actually, if anyone else runs into this problem I think it has to do with Accessibility and Encryption. When enabling it on the new install I noticed it was disabled for the original one (it used to be enabled). Enabling for the new, and entering my password for encryption, ended up enabling both. The back button worked after that for both. Surprisingly Home and other nav functions were working just fine.

In any event, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Hi, thanks for your observation. I'm still not clear about it. Did you mean that if you update software on an encrypted device you'll have to reenable the Accessibility permission? Where is the place that you enter the password?. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] 11wallace11:
Hi,

Thank you so much for this app. I've missed this type of multitasking since Switchr died when Lollipop came out.

I'd like to make one quick bug report:

Rotation Toggle in "Quick Actions" is not working on Marshmallow. Tested on CM13.1 as well as on Xperia Z2.

Keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] MikeAngier:
Hello! Some more feature requests for developer of this amazing app:

1. If some quick action is disabled, swipe to its positions only writes "None". It would make more sense if the icon underneath quick action would remain chosen, as it is implemented in Switchr.

2. Indication of currently selected icon in the arc really does not look nice. Can you please make the white oval transparent? And the icon itself should slightly increase or decrease in size when I swipe my finger over it. These changes would make interface far more intuitive.
[Android Apps and Games] herbertkikoy:
Pretty cool app. I havent explored the app much.. Will surely be giving a feedback once I get to use its full potentials
[Android Apps and Games] Hawgfan486:
Really cool, so much easier to switch between apps now with one handed use, without having to reach all the way over and hit the recent apps button on my GS7.

Minor thing, I see an option for vibration but not for sound? Does it not have an option to make a sound whenever you pass over an icon? Love the icon pack support also!
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Thanks for your feedback. Rotation toggle needs the write setting permission. The app should ask for this permission when you select it. Please check the permission in: Device setting -> Apps -> Configure Apps -> Modify system settings.

Thanks for your suggestions.

1. I'll fix the "none" indicator. It only makes sense when all Quick actions are "none" but unlike Switchr, Quick actions are the important part of SS so I haven't thought about it.

2. They indeed look bad, thanks for your suggestion.

Thanks, hope you like it!

Thanks! I don't think people like sound feedback, but I'll keep that in mind.
[Android Apps and Games] 11wallace11:
Thank you for the reply.

I enabled the permission manually and it worked like a charm. Thank you very much!

On a side note, it may be wise to check for this permission during setup / if the toggles are enabled, since the app wasn't deliberately asking for them.
[Android Apps and Games] gr8st:
Hello,

Any chance you can allow pinning of quick actions (back, home, etc) to the recent list pie? I use back function very often and having it on outer shell feels unnatural.

XDA lab forum icon still not able to be added to favorites. Hope this can still be fixed.

Also hoping folder option for favorites is still on roadmap. Makes organizing large number of shortcuts simple by nesting them cleanly.

Thanks again, great work as always.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Thanks, I'll look into it again.

Hi, I just update the pin app feature, now you can pin actions to it. But it still in beta. You can join the beta by joining this community then follow the sticky post.

I just look into the XDA lab forum, unfortunately, because of the way I store app's information the app can only save one launch intent for one app. So I afraid that can't change in a near future. But if you're using Nova launcher you can use the "Activity" shortcut of Nova. When you set Activity shortcut, you can choose the XDA forum shortcut in the list of activity for XDA lab app.

The favorite already has the folder option, it's in the top of the "Actions" tab.
[Android Apps and Games] ticktock666:
Nice app, adding it to my arsenal of "swipe navigation" apps.

A couple of things to ask :

1. Any chance of adding a clear all notifications action? Maybe through xposed?

2. I'm using the "favourites circle", is it possible to make it that if i slide my finger back towards the edge from the favourites circle the app will return to the "recents" list instead of having to leave area to relaunch the app? Maybe make it a toggle for those who want it .

3. The notification panel expansion animation is slow, there's a fix used by Nova launcher that works with root, can you include that for rooted users?

That's all for now, again great app and thanks for your time and effort.
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Hi, thanks for your feedback and suggestion! I'll consider adding the ability to return to recent from favorite.

About exclusive feature for rooted users, I afraid that I can't make it. I personally have a feeling that root required apps are too dangerous and I have no idea about develop root app. Sorry about that.

Hi, did you try to lower the "Distance between icon" or "Distance from the edge" value in the "Favorite setting" to narrow the grid?
[Android Apps and Games] Hawgfan486:
I too would like some kind of option to switch back to the first "circle" of recent apps and pinned apps. Maybe just use the same hold action that it currently uses to open the "favorites circle", to where if you hold down on an app in favorites, it'll go back to the recent apps circle.
[Android Apps and Games] topgengames:
Did you use android studio to make this?
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Thanks for the screenshot. Allowing to up and down while it locked to the center of screen is a good idea. But why don't you use the folder feature?
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Yep, I never try other before.
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroPDA:
I updated translation.
[Android Apps and Games] khangneovip:
:good: +1
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Thanks! I'll fix the translation for edge1/edge2 in the next update.

The "Pin shortcuts to recent" is actually a new string. I just update the new terms to the translation project on Ackuna, thanks for your work!
[Android Apps and Games] ticktock666:
Another thing to report:

When I'm using some apps (mostly text editor), if i use the recents menu to switch back and forth, the file editor will close and i need to reopen it again. Example:

Open file with neutriNote

Switch to a different app

Use this app to switch back to neutriNote

NeutriNote is returned to the main menu and i have to open my file again.

If i switch apps using the Android recents menu things work fine.
[Android Apps and Games] cristivsflorin:
This is awesome

This app is simply awesome. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] gr8st:
Thanks again for the reply.

Great, pinning actions works a treat!

Expanding on this, can you allow actual ordering of pinned items? So, first pinned item can always appears in position 1 of the pie, and second pinned item can appear in last position of the pie. Not just listing by pinning to top/bottom.

Can you also add the action to kill current application like in lmt? It's my second most used action next to back when applications are bugging out.

Last request, can you allow more then one assignable hold function? Right now, when you hold an item on the pie, it launches the favorites shortcuts. But every item on the pie doesn't need this as the hold function. Can you allow actions, app/shortcut launches as a assignable hold function as well? So, item #3 can be designated to launch the favorites shortcuts when held and the others in the pie can have secondary hold function of the users choosing.

Thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] tazmanyakerim13:
Definitely a great app. I was looking for this all the time. I know you guys are really busy, just wanna share my opinions:

It would be great if the switcher worked on the lockscreen too, and also when the switcher is onto the something on screen you can't tap it, switcher blocks/prevents it

Samsung Galaxy S7
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
Thanks for your feedback, I'll test the switch app feature with neutriNote.

The ability to order the pinned items and assigning hold function are cool. I'll look into it.

I afraid the I can't implement the kill current app for Swiftly switch, 3rd app don't have permission to do that.

Thanks for your suggestion!

Working on lock screen is great, but I think the app have to become your lock screen app in order to do this. I'll look into it.

You can decrease the sensitive or change the position of the trigger edge to limit it. There's no better solution for this at this moment, sorry for that.

Thanks for your feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] sebarkh:
Awsome app, a must have while launching from a swipe up from the bottom of the display and in mini mode with a T9 keyboard
[Android Apps and Games] tazmanyakerim13:
Also, is it possible to add a screenshot feature? For the phones without root
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroPDA:
I updated translation for the new strings. Thanks for your work!
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
I'm sorry but I'm not sure I understand your idea. Could you explain it more? Thanks!

The app can use Accessibility service to get screenshot but It'll need to listen to accessibility even in all app and this could lead to battery drain. I'll look into it more. Thanks for suggestion.

Thanks for your work. You're the best translator of Swiftly Switch! I'll update the strings in the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] gr8st:
Thanks for considering my suggestion.

I'm not sure where you read that, but there are applications on the play store that do perform kill function (i.e. Tasker, xposed additions). I don't see why you wouldn't be allowed to add it, just don't advertise it as main feature. Please re-consider this, it's very useful when something is bugging out.

Another small suggestion, can you please allow selecting icons (either from icon pack or built in) for folders? Right now when you add app shortcut to folder, it shows miniaturized of each app's shortcut. Would be better to have a single folder icon to distinguish folder category.

Thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] thuongthoi056:
As I know, tasker and xposed need root to do that action!?

And thanks for your suggestion about folder's icon!
