No, I agree, in all seriousness you have posted a prolific amount of very useful information in many ppc forums, and indeed in the past I've added my thanks for your efforts elsewhere. The tiresome thing is the hyperbole of the post titles. We know you're good at what you do, so you don't need to *shout* (I mean; "kick butt" - oh c'mon...!!)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Menneisyys:
Guys and gals, I've just finished migrating my latest articles & Bibles from the last ~5 months into the Wiki (so far, I haven't had the time to do this).

VERY important: I use my own scripts to convert my HTML-based articles to PhpWiki (also using other, Web-based PhpWiki converters). Unfortunately, there're some constructs that I just can't convert (and don't have the time to manually adjust ALL the articles - remember, there are hundreds of them); for example, consequent rows separated by only one line feed. (With them, the rows aren't rendered separated.)

If you encounter cases like this and would like to read the original instead,

1. you can find almost all these articles in the General forum ( http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=256 ) here; you can easily find them by just entering a, say, sentence to search for from my Wiki article, only searching for my nick and the General forum in the Advanced Search engine ( http://xdaforums.com/search.php )

2. at the bottom of many of my articles, there's a "Cross-posted to" section. Just click the XDA-Devs link in there.

3. alternatively, you can also search my blog ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/ )

I do hope you'll find my articles useful :)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danknasty:
Every once in a while on my non rooted 2nd get box the app store will change completely to a grid layout and it will not allow me to download any new apps and most of the amazon apps do not work like netflix. I end up having to do a full system restore everytime this happens. Is there a better way to fix this?

Hi

Need to encrypt 5.1.1 phone- though rooted.

Can I use the temporary unroot (disabling superuser) in SuperSU??

(I have heard I may need to reroot through custom recovery-but my phone model has no known custom recovery).

Anyone use this method, or know someone, or try to figure it out? Thank you...

[Xposed Framework Modules] zzpianoman:
Introduction:

This module will allow you to hide selected app thumbnails from the recents task stack. Hidden apps

will appear as a blank card in the recents stack. All that will be shown is the app title and icon.

Compatible with 4.1 - 7.x (Jelly Bean - Nougat)

This is useful for hiding apps that contain sensitive information such as banking apps or even the Camera!

This module does *not* require any special permissions.

Thumbnail images are cached regardless, so you can hide/unhide them at will.

Features:

Hide thumbnails from the recent tasks stack

Set the maximum number of recent task cards (5.x - 7.x only)

Set a custom thumbnail color (with alpha) for each app

Automatically color each thumbnail from the application's icon

Optional clear all recents button for the stack (5.x & 6.x only)

Exclude apps from appearing in the recents stack

NOTE: The apps list is cached, so it only has to update when

an app is either installed or removed. To force refresh the list of apps,

select "Reload" from the menu.

Recents Tuner is based off of a feature I designed for my custom ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and

utilizes some code from CyanogenMOD's Privacy Guard utility.

Color picker code: https://github.com/martin-stone/hsv-alpha-color-picker-android

Wonderful thought...:good:

Exactly what I worried when I open recent apps.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theoverseer:
This sounds an awesome module, but unfortunately it is not working for me (Nexus 5X running 6.0.1 and Google Launcher)
[Xposed Framework Modules] zzpianoman:
Can you provide a little bit more information? What isn't working exactly? Does the UI not load? Logs would be helpful as well!

Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] theoverseer:
I select apps, but nothing gets hidden; the recents look the same
[Xposed Framework Modules] zzpianoman:
Can you provide some details about your setup?

-Device hardware

-Android version

-Custom ROM/AOSP?

-Multi user?

Also if you could grab a logcat from right after you open the recents stack, that would be great!

$ logcat -d | grep Xposed
[Xposed Framework Modules] zzpianoman:
UPDATE:

Download: Recents Privacy 1.3.

CHANGELOG:

Added support for KitKat 4.x.x

NOTES:
[Xposed Framework Modules] xdapowerapps:

[Xposed Framework Modules] xdapowerapps:
Still no luck. I'll get a catlog later.
[Xposed Framework Modules] zzpianoman:
Something to try:

Take a look at the shared preferences file located @ /data/data/com.recentsprivacy.android/shared_prefs/Preferences.xml

If you select apps in the list view, do they appear in the preferences file??
[Xposed Framework Modules] xdapowerapps:
Yep.
[Xposed Framework Modules] zzpianoman:
Okay...Here's another test version with some logging enabled.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24665509702140566

Run this, select some apps to hide, then make sure the apps have a recents card.

Call the recents stack, quickly scroll through all of your recent apps making sure to pass

cards that are supposed to be hidden. Then, take a logcat:

$ logcat -d | grep RecentsPrivacy

UPDATE:

Download: Recents Privacy 1.4.

CHANGELOG:

Fixed not working on certain AOSP based LP and MM ROMs.

NOTES:

Turns out I mistakenly hooked a method that wasn't in pure AOSP. Resolved this in the current update. Should work on ALL devices now!
[Xposed Framework Modules] theoverseer:
1.4 working perfectly now. Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] zzpianoman:
UPDATE:

Download: Recents Privacy 1.5.

CHANGELOG:

Ability to set the maximum number of recent task cards that will be kept in the stack (Lollipop and Marshmallow ONLY!!)

NOTES:

The maximum (default) number is determined by your device's configuration. Low RAM devices keep 50 cards in the stack by default, whereas normal RAM devices keep 100. This setting does not allow you to keep more cards than is allowed by your device's RAM configuration.

You may also opt to disable recents entirely. This will block the stack from loading altogether, and no cards will be kept in memory.
[Xposed Framework Modules] armaninyowph:
Feature request: option to completely remove the card instead of hiding the preview thumbnail, but keep the app icon and app name
[Xposed Framework Modules] zzpianoman:
Thanks for the suggestion.

I had toyed with this idea initially, but thought that the stack would look strange without actually having the card in as a placeholder. I can, however, look into implementing this in future releases.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Xhatry:
It is a great app, I love it. It would be nice to have an option to hide the app from the launcher. Keep the good work!
[Xposed Framework Modules] zzpianoman:
Hide the app from the launcher, or from the recents stack?
[Xposed Framework Modules] danielcr12:
Can you add an option to show the app icon centered and bigger qinstead of just the white space, so they don't look empty. Just a personal pref.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Xhatry:
From the launcher, as many other Xposed Modules does, it would be nice to hide the "Recents Privacy" app from the app drawer of the launcher. In that way it can only be opened through the xposed installer app.
[Xposed Framework Modules] zzpianoman:
UPDATE:

Download: Recents Privacy 2.0.

CHANGELOG:

Replace blank card with custom color, including transparency

Hide this module's icon from the launcher

Optional clear all recents button for the stack (5.x & 6.x only)

Bug fixes and layout improvements

NOTES:

The clear all recents button may not appear in landscape mode on some devices.

If the launcher icon is hidden, app can still be opened through the Xposed module installer.
[Xposed Framework Modules] zzpianoman:
Can someone confirm that the clear-all button is working?

Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] zzpianoman:
UPDATE:

Download: Recents Privacy 2.0.1.

CHANGELOG:

Fixed issue where clear all recents button was always visible regardless of setting

Set default color of recent task thumbnail to black

NOTES:
[Xposed Framework Modules] ej8989:

CHANGELOG:

Fixed logic for retrieving default maximum recent cards

NOTES:
[Xposed Framework Modules] zzpianoman:
I'm sorry, I do not. Wouldn't that just be simply using an app shortcut rather than a widget? I thought the whole point of a widget was to display content.

Thanks for trying the module!
[Xposed Framework Modules] zzpianoman:
Hmm....never thought about something like that. It's beyond the scope of this module, though, so it would have to be something completely different.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thursen:
There is one annoying glitch, which I hope to be fixed:

If you apply a transparent overlay, there is a weird colorless square within the recent tabs.

Does this problem also occur on your device or is this an issue on my side? Can this be fixed, if it's a bug?

Thanks, for your support and the work you put into developing this module. I appreciate it!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thursen:
An idea came to my mind: Would it be possible to have user profiles, so for example, if you're not at home, recents are being covered by an overlay, but when connected to your home's WiFi they're shown normally again?

Hi zzpianoman,

good job and nice idea of different color for single app.

Unfortunately of Honor Note 8 only it works part of the limit of the recent but does not work the darkening of cards.

I hope I manage to find the solution.

Thanks again for the excellent work and dedicated time.

Your idea of covering recents task, active and leaving them stranded, is simply brilliant!
[Xposed Framework Modules] tempurastyle:
Works great on the Sony X Compact on MM! I have always wondered if there was a way to hide the screenshots of the recent apps. Thank you for your work!
[Xposed Framework Modules] armaninyowph:
Great app. But i have a feature request: please get the color of the action bar of an app automatically.
[Xposed Framework Modules] zzpianoman:
I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Are you saying you want the thumbnail color to match the action bar in the app? If so that would be very difficult to implement as you would have to access the package resources directly and that would require grabbing a context for each application, introducing overhead and leading to the possibility of errors and malfunctions.

Interesting idea, though. If I can figure out a way to implement it I'll definitely try.

2.clear all botton sometimes disappeared(the rom natrually has a button)

3.the app which is using is sometimes shown in the hiden way( the color is the same as the nearest hiden app
[Xposed Framework Modules] zzpianoman:
If your ROM already has a clear-all button, I would recommend using that one instead of the one provided through this module.

I can't make any guarantees for "custom" ROMs with a heavily modified SystemUI. I'd be more than willing to try to make it work, if I can, but I will need links to the source code for your exact ROM to see if there is a feasible way for me to extend compatibility. Closed-source ROMs are *not* going to be supported. I know there are reports of this not working on the Honor 8. That device apparently uses a closed-source proprietary build of Android which is beyond the scope of the resources I have available to me or the time it would take to make it work.

Xposed modules such as these are really meant for stock Android as they hook several parts of the framework that are NOT available in the public API. The benefit of this is that I get to build a module that introduces virtually zero overhead, as it is integrated seamlessly with the Android frameworks. The obvious downside is that it may break compatibility with ROMs that have been heavily customized by either the manufacturer of the device or by the developer of that particular ROM.

It is possible for me to build this module in such a way that it only requires root access, and would most likely be 100 percent compatible with all devices, however, the methods I would have to use to achieve such compatibility would come at a HUGE performance cost - mainly because all of the thumbnails would have to be generated and saved as bitmaps instead of the way they are implemented now, using a simple color filter. This would result in significant lagging, especially on lower-end devices, when opening and swiping through the recents stack.

As it is now, it took a good deal of extra work to ensure compatibility with older versions of Android. I originally only intended it to work with Lollipop and beyond, because that was the point where the recents stack became "enormous" as well as persistent across device reboots but the logistics of supporting *every* possible custom variant of Android is beyond the scope of this project.

Like I said before, I am willing to try to make it work with as many devices as possible but I am going to need links to the source code, or deodexed SystemUI packages from those specific ROMs.

[Xposed Framework Modules] downloaderfan:
Well, I know a lot of people want to prevent apps from showing up in the recents list, how about the opposite?

Since Android Nougat, apps are automatically removed from the recent apps list & for some of us who rely on the recent apps screen, it's an annoyance. I've described about it here. No way to disable that, no third part app or xposed module yet. Would really appreciate if you could add a feature to disable it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] zzpianoman:
To be honest, I actually never use recents. I have thought it to be a completely pointless feature since it premiered many years ago and a security threat when Android started keeping screenshots of every app - even those with potentially sensitive information (i.e. the camera preview screen). That is what prompted me to develop this module in the first place.

I have not noticed the behavior you describe, but I will take a look to see what, if anything, can be implemented to fix this issue.

[Xposed Framework Modules] mjosua007:
It works fine... the concept is great but becomes completely useless to me as the "exclude from recents" function entirely kills the apps as soon as you leave it. Which sucks cause who wants to be reloading apps every time you open it. The point should've been to "just hide" them. Tried it on 2 devices thought it was my launcher but got same results on both.
[Xposed Framework Modules] the-blind-bandit:
I'm not having this problem, my apps are hidden from recents not just cleared/killed so perhaps you have something killing your apps?
