Any fix for the following behavior? Sometimes the home screen appears for a short moment after opening omniswitch.

[Android Apps and Games] wrongway213:
I've never seen that before, I'm kind of curious what device/ROM, but I can't imagine I'll have a fix for it regardless what it is.
[Android Apps and Games] Try it or die:
It happens on all ROMs (Pie) and both of my phones, Redmi note 3 & 5.

If this is new for you the problem is probably on my side.

Thanks anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] wutzin:
Hi,

I'm using the pie version on Syberia Rom (redmi note 4x mido).

One issue I have found is that the top app in the switcher that always shows is omniswitch itself... How can I remove this?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Outlaw Dragon:
The only way is by using the swipe handle. When a button is used it'll show omniswitch.

I've just installed AospExtended ROM V6.7 and after flashing OmniSwitch-Pie09092018.zip my phone won't boot up. I've tried it twice, always after a clean flash of the 6.7 ROM, but the result is always the same. (stuck on AOSP logo)

I have never had this problem with the previous versions of AospExtended . Please help...
[Android Apps and Games] MJ.nfl:
Ok, I have just received info from LG G2 ROM contributor YoDevil to what may be the cause for the problems, and I quote:

The latest build enabled a security feature that forces Privileged Apps to be whitelisted in the system: https://source.android.com/devices/tech/config/perms-whitelist

OmniSwitch package provider should add their app to the whitelisted apps as the doc explains
[Android Apps and Games] Max Torque:
[MENTION=9915284]MJ.nfl[/MENTION]. I'm facing the same issue as yours. I did try editing the permission files to whitelist the app and flash the zip thereafter, but was unsuccessful. Were you able to fix your problem?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, it seems I have finally figured it out. I whitelisted all the permissions asked by the app and now it works flawlessly.
[Android Apps and Games] MJ.nfl:
This fix is created by YoDevil. It's whitelisted and works perfectly with latest Android Pie versions. Tested with AOSP extended v6.7.

https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4812358&d=1567010586

Just flash/install zip through recovery...
[Android Apps and Games] BadToThePhone:
Does this work for nougat or oreo?
[Android Apps and Games] MJ.nfl:
I haven't tried. Probably not.

It's whitelisted Android Pie file from 1st post.

You probably need to whitelist oreo or nougat file from 1st post.

Has anyone tested the Pie zip on Android 10?
[Android Apps and Games] parmafran:
No. Though omnirom have started making Android 10 builds that include it, so it shouldn't take long for someone to extract it for 10.

In case system won't boot is there any way to uninstall this module?

I replaced the apk file you posted in pie-omniswitch zip,

Error-omniswitch restricted mode:failed to gain system permission.

is it whitelist issue?
[Android Apps and Games] x111:
I am on Havoc rom

and OmniSwitch gives me

"Error-omniswitch restricted mode:failed to gain system permission."

and FC.

I tried to install it as system app, did not help.

pls, anybody fix this, such a need in this awesome recents over google trash.

update:

with the help of forbidden here app, everything works now.

"disable signature verification in the package manager"

search, and you will find,

xda is highly restricted place !!

.
[Android Apps and Games] Peter1212:
It works for me. Using Havoc OS 3.2 build 21/02 without systemizing. I'll try to systemize it too, and see if there's any issues but it's working fine for me so far. Still, would have loved a slim recents only, omniswitch has one too many features to just be a simple recents app. What I liked about slims was also the fact I could collapse the app headers so that it doesn't show me the whole app but instead a simple block.

Edit: Only issue I am having is the initial start after a reboot isn't a quick one. Takes too much of time, trying to use it before it does would just make it glitch.
[Android Apps and Games] x111:
how did you do that ?!

pls, share exact file.

I'm on

"Havoc-OS-v3.2-20200222-guacamole-Official.zip"

and omniswitch is still failed to run,

it gives the message "failed to gain system permissions"

I guess you have some extra software that allows any app overcome system restricts or something.

did you installed xposed ?

I just tried "adb install" and "omniswitch" is still failed to run, it gives the message "failed to gain system permissions" and FC.

.

Problem solved (thanks to Neodimon):

Here is the way to make Omniswitch work without "failed to gain system permissions"

https://androidflagship.com/27480-how-to-fix-omniswitch-restricted-mode-android-notification/

All you need to do is: "Disable signature verification in the package manager"

unfortunately, you have to use forbidden app here.

By using Luckypatcher, I did not notice any delay with omniswitch and it acts as google trash recents in term of app termination.

The huge issue now is that I cannot remap recents button for omniswitch

and apps that have an overlay over navbar do not have remap for a single tap.

Did you find any solution ?

How is you phone doing by running xposed, I remember that this thing slowing down the phone significantly, I always disliked it ?

.
[Android Apps and Games] Peter1212:
I did nothing at all except for installing it. I might have installed it via adb though, maybe try that out. But that's all I did and it was working normally. I did make it system too but it was working fine without that too from before. Only caveat I am running into is that it isn't quick on startup and takes a couple bit of seconds. So I can't use omniswitch right from the beginning and gotta wait for it to load/process whatever. Usually takes 10 to 15 seconds after android starts.

Edit: It worked due to an app that must not be named here. Well, other than that if anyone has xposed they can use this. https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xposed-super-user-mode-x-v1-0-0-t3383183

Someone else posted it here, just posting the link again.

Edit: [MENTION=1873462]x111[/MENTION] there are other ways to be able to get signature spoofing. Yes, I do have xposed. And I think the module in the link I mentioned should work as much as the app in your link. Either ways, without xposed, LP would patch the system directly, which is not recommended at all.

Also, other than the startup delay, there's the issue that apps are not killed from memory when you clear it away from the list. Which is a bummer, to be honest.
[Android Apps and Games] Ulfys:
Just reporting that this didn’t work for me. Using that module, OmniSwitch still ran in restricted mode, so it didn’t show any apps and crashed as soon as it was toggled. I don’t even want to install that other app...
[Android Apps and Games] loopytee:
[MENTION=5964313]wrongway213[/MENTION] just wanted to to say thank you for the previous builds of this. I hadn't realised how dependant I've been on it since Oreo? Just wanted to say Omniswitch is great and I love it. If it ever gets updated to 10 I'll load it up on day one. If it doesn't get updated I still wanted to say thank you for having made it available previously.

Based on the version posted here I just put together the relevant files to create a Magisk Module for Pie. Works with the latest stable Magisk (v20.3) and I think on any Magisk after V20.0 (using the latest installer scripts / structure / compliant to the latest developer guideline). I did literally nothing with the source, just put the two relevant files from the installer (the APK + XML) to the relevant places and made a zip that's compliant to the latest Magisk Module Developer Guide.

I tested it on AICP 14.0 Pie (Redmi Note 4X (Global, Snapdragon 625, Mido), works like a charm.

I guess - since the directories and XML paths' has changed - it won't work on Android 10/Q, just sayin'.
[Android Apps and Games] 22sumit:
This worked for me on Miui 11.0.8 on poco f1. Thanks man. :good:

Been looking for omniswitch for a long time.

By the way I had already disabled signature verification to install vanced youtube and I guess that's why it worked in the first attempt just after installation.
[Android Apps and Games] Try it or die:
How exactly did you do this? I disabled signature verification, but I still get the failed the restricted mode in OmniSwitch.

[Android Apps and Games] lil_kujo:
I just downloaded the apk and sign it with mix explorer and it works like a charm with a11 oneplus 7t.
[Android Apps and Games] Apex Predator:
Dude you just ended months of frustration and headaches trying to get OmniSwitch to work on my A10 crDroid ROM. Thank you so much.

None of the solutions in this thread or elsewhere worked for me, I tried everything I could but just kept getting "failed to get system permissions" error. For unknown reasons none of the disable signature checking solutions would work on my ROM, which now that I have it working I'm glad about because they compromise security.

So, to anyone else struggling to get OmniSwitch to work on their Android 10 or 11 ROM, you need to re-sign the apk with the same keys as your ROM, and Mixplorer allows you to do that. Just select "PLATFORM" in the signing options then install the re-signed apk. You shouldn't have to systemize as the ROM won't give it any hassles any more as it now acts as if it's native. Get Mixplorer here.

I guess this is why there is no one size fits all way to distribute OmniSwitch for 10/11. Changes to security in the new versions combined with every ROM having different keys and the app requiring too many high level permissions means it just won't work any way other than appearing as a native app, (or disabling those security features as offered in the earlier solutions). Re-signing with platform keys is a far more elegant and safe solution.
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Sithek:
Wow, marvelous finding. Thanks a lot, it's working!
[Android Apps and Games] lil_kujo:
Glad it helped I tried it in every rom I have tested and so far in a11 and a10 it has worked, on stock oos beta 2 I use other methods since it doesn't work only by signing it. But I'm glad it help you, I myself spent hours trying to figure it out till I said to myself why not use try sign it and see if it helps since I have signed other apks before to make them work on different roms. Now with omni recents and nova 7 or any other launcher I don't need to change recents provider since combined with FGN app it makes it just perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] Avisc114:
Hi there!,

does the omniswitch shortcut work for you guys? I'm on a10 and I'm trying to use it as a shortcut in Edge's gesture app but it's not working

EDIT:

It works now, I just had to do the same process again!

Sorry, I forgot to say thank you !!!!

Thank you very much for getting the omniswitch to work on my phone, I've been looking for a method for this application to work correctly for months.

I really like Omniswitch I use it on my tablet, and now I can use it on my phone yeeeee!!!

Thank you very much!!!!! :D
[Android Apps and Games] ThatDamnFrog:
Could you share the zip you flashed/apk you used? Or did you just use the version on this page?

(or anyone else that succeded on a10/a11)

Also was all you did to just sign it and install the app after a flash?

Thanks

Update: Was real easy actually, just needed to;

Grab the zip from Derpfest 10 (go a few pages back), grab the full zip from the main page, extract that, replace the apk and done, and follow the instructions from "Apex Predator"
[Android Apps and Games] Fr1day_13:
To which Derpfest 10 zip file are you referring to? I cant find that file in the thread. Can you give me a Post ID?

I am trying to use Omniswitch on my OnePlus 8 with A11 as well. What is that "other method" you are doing do get the app working? What is the FGN App? couldnt find anything by the name FGN.

i tried the apk from OP6 from this post

https://xdaforums.com/t/pie-9-0-nougat-pie-omniswitch-flashable-zip-universal.3456566/post-81750559

signed it and installed it but i am still getting the "failed to gain system permissions" error :(
[Android Apps and Games] lil_kujo:
FGN is fluid navigartion gestures app you can find that in the playstore, also if you are running OOS you would need to use a pacther app to allow signature verification disable using the magisk module option to make it work. In customs roms it should work just by signing the apk with mix explorer
[Android Apps and Games] Fr1day_13:
Cool, thanks for your answer.

Fluid Navigation Gesture = FNG and not FGN ^^

Ar, i dont know if its worth installing Lucky Patcher on a clean and secure system, but OmniSwitch is such a good application. If LP would still be open source it would be a different story...

Which OmniSwitch APK did you used on your OOS device?
[Android Apps and Games] planeinmountain:
This plus what x111 says works for me on miui eu 21.3.10/miui 12.5. Thanks guys!
[Android Apps and Games] Fr1day_13:
did anyone tried that solution to get rid of the signature verification without LP?

[Android Apps and Games] ThatDamnFrog:
It's a few pages back, but here's my already zipped file, just flash this in your recovery and then extract the zip and sign the apk in it and install it. Quite easy honestly.

If you want to completely replace your current recents, you can use Gravitybox(software and physical keys) or XposedEdge(Gestures), or other apps to do so

note2: I'm not sure how it'll work out since I'm assuming you already flashed the PIE version

note3: It's fully working on A11 and A10, tested by me by the way
[Android Apps and Games] Fr1day_13:
first of all that was not my question and i read your post and the complete thread here.

secondly i dont have a custom recovery as there is no support for my oneplus 8 yet.

i signed the app but thats not working on my oneplus 8 with android 11 as i wrote before and as other members wrote before, so your 'solution' is not working out for me, and thats why i was asking the question.

i am running omniswitch (extracted from a A10 rom) signed with mixexplorer and with disabled verification with LP now. i saw the thread i was referring to in my last post here afterwards.

now i am thinking of doing a complete reset and using that method for getting rid of LP as i am not too comfortable with the situation having LP installed (i disabled it in titanium after doing the verification mod, but never the less)
[Android Apps and Games] ThatDamnFrog:
My bad m8, can't help you much there then.

So far, the only way I've been able to get it working were the above instructions, or patching the rom with some patcher application, instead of signing..

Also, maybe I should clarify the apk you are looking for is in the zip, that's the APK from derpfest 10 I was talking about it's also the apk, that the previously succesful users were referring to.

Spoiler content hidden.
[Android Apps and Games] Fr1day_13:
perfect, thank you! i didnt understand what was ment by that before.

its pretty stupid that i cant use twrp, otherwise i would just make a full backup and try out several stuff.

but for other ppl out there, the way with signing and disabling verification is working with a11.
[Android Apps and Games] ThatDamnFrog:
Decided to put in some work. File was extracted from POCO X3's FLOKO ROM.

OMNISWITCH WORKING FOR A11 and A10, NO SIGNING REQUIRED! (WELL PROBABLY, if it doesnt work for you try signing it)

And smoother animations and generally snappier and starts up faster than the previous apk after boot.

PRO TIP: If you don't see Display over other apps enabled in the settings by default, it means it straight up won't work on your ROM, even if you enable it..probably

Special thanks to @crok.bic for essentially providing a template for me to insert the stuff into.

and same goes for @wrongway213

Once again for anyone looking to replace their recents, use the Toggle OmniSwitch app by: https://github.com/augustoicaro/Toggle-OmniSwitch (APP can be found in the attachments as well)

Note: OmniSwitch11NewV2=Recovery Flash (if the app doesn't appear install the apk in the attachments)

Note2: OmniSwitchForA10A11Experimentalv2 is the Magisk Module

Note3: I didn't test straight up installing the APK with nothing additional, it probably won't work but you can try out.

Note4: Detailed instructions for anyone stuck https://telegra.ph/Updated-OmniSwitch-Guide--Super-Detailed-04-26

[Android Apps and Games] EojjN:
Hey, delighted to see that OmniSwitch is still alive and well. I've just moved to LineageOS 18.1 from Temasek 13 (Android 6) on my Samsung Note 3.

I've flashed the Magisk Module and got OmniSwitch installed but am getting an error notification when I try to open the switcher by swiping.

The error message says "OmniSwitch restricted mode - failed to gain system permissions"

Anyone have any ideas how I could remedy this? I miss my pretty and functional app switcher, the default carousel in Android 11 is NASTY!

cheers

Update: I've also tried signing the apk from the Magisk module and then installing the module fresh....didn't make any difference unfortunately...
[Android Apps and Games] GaryBlack:
Using LG V40 with RR 8.7 (A10) GSI.

I tried almost every zip and apk in this thread.

The version of ThatDamnedFrog failed with force crashes even before any error about missing privileges, logcat has an exception about OmniSwitch trying to call a none-existing method related to multiwindow in Framework.class. The pie ones use another recents api that does not work anymore.

The one that finally worked was this version, extracted from OP6 re-signed with MixExplorer and just installed normally, no system flashing required.

[Android Apps and Games] willybarca:
I hope omnirom releases V12 . Then we can use the omniswitch that comes with it
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
I was missing OmniSwitch when I finally went custom ROM on my OnePlus 8T. In the past crDroid has always had OmniSwitch but I guess things have changed since "my old days".

I tried the various items attached by ThatDamnFrog. The standalone apks didn't work. The flashable zip, OmniSwitch-11NewV2, is not A/B system-as-root ready. It flashes to /system instead of /system/system. Remember having to edit a similar zip on my Essential Phone before.

Also the requisite permissions file (needed for apps in priv-app) is not included so it probably wouldn't work if flashed properly anyway.

The Magisk package, OmniSwitchForA10A11Experimentalv2, works perfectly. I am so jazzed. It also includes the needed permissions file.

With OmniSwitch in place now I feel at home. Was reluctant to own a modern Android device.

Would be running OmmiROM itself but it seems it doesn't quite work with my 8T KB2007 variant (modem issue I think).

[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
Yeah, I'm kind of bummed out. I mentioned it works great on crDroid but when I went to CarbonROM I had no such luck. Despite the inclusion of the permissions file, App Manager shows that some of the necessary permissions have been "revoked".

Oh how I dislike modern Android. 😑

I flash the magisk module . The only catch is that build doesn't work on 12 so I have this slightly updated omni switch APK I pulled from omni os from android 12 builds, which after the phone boots up I replace the original omni switch in the system app folder to the one I have . Also you need the yellow smiley app to enable signature verification . But yeh I made a magisk module using the one I have but it didn't work idk why . So after every boot I need to replace the apks , a bit annoying but then again I don't reboot my phone in weeks some times
