Taskbar puts a start menu and recent apps tray on top of your screen that's accessible at any time, increasing your productivity and turning your Android tablet (or phone) into a real multitasking machine!

On devices running Android 7.0+, Taskbar can also launch apps in freeform windows for a PC-like experience! No root required! (see below for instructions)

Taskbar is also fully supported on Chrome OS - use Taskbar as a secondary Android app launcher on your Chromebook!

Features

• Start menu - shows you all applications installed on the device, configurable as a list or as a grid

• Recent apps tray - shows your most recently used apps and lets you easily switch between them

• Collapsible and hideable - show it when you need it, hide it when you don't

• Many different configuration options - customize Taskbar however you want

• Pin favorite apps or block the ones you don't want to see

• Designed with keyboard and mouse in mind

• 100% free, open source, and no ads

Freeform window mode (Android 7.0+)

Taskbar lets you launch apps in freeform floating windows on Android 7.0+ devices. No root access is required, although Android 8.0+ devices require an adb shell command to be run during initial setup.

Simply follow these steps to configure your device for launching apps in freeform mode:

1. Check the box for "Freeform window support" inside the Taskbar app

2. Follow the directions that appear in the pop-up to enable the proper settings on your device (one-time setup)

3. Go to your device's recent apps page and clear all recent apps

4. Start Taskbar, then select an app to launch it in a freeform window

For more information and detailed instructions, click "Help & instructions for freeform mode" inside the Taskbar app.

Download

• Download Taskbar on the Play Store

• Download Taskbar on F-Droid

It's about time I made an xda thread for this :laugh: Feedback is appreciated!

Good work bro keep it up. Installed it and enjoying the ride as it's great concept as launcher's & dock is useless now :). Issues and suggestions Will be post if any.

Thanks for the app.
[Android Apps and Games] xXLosstarotXx:
This is an amazing app whose concept can revolutionize the android experience. With KK I used to download Xposed and install XHaloFloatingWindow and Floating notifications just to mimic a PC desktop. Now I can do something similar with this app and Nougat! Thanks, OP!

It would be great if the Taskbar overlay can support the Extended Desktop feature. I use an unofficial build of LineageOS, and when you open an app in a freeform window, the nav bar appears and it doesn't hide. And when you close all windows, the overlay and the nav bar stay, making it impossible to use, for example, gestures in your home screen. I use Nova Launcher, and in order to open the app drawer, I use a double tap gesture. So I have to go to the Taskbar settings, disable it, and then I can access my app drawer as usual. Is it possible for the overlay to automatically close when there are no freeform windows opened?

Also, is there a way to implement a shortcut to toggle off the taskbar without opening the app? Like greenify hibernation, that can be even set with a gesture in nova.

If the overlay and nav bar issues can be fixed, and we can somehow enable a shortcut use the taskbar whenever we want, this is going to be my favorite app from now on ?

Thanks again, OP. I hope this feedback helps!
[Android Apps and Games] farmerbb:
Thanks for your feedback!

Unfortunately, due to System UI restrictions that Google has put in place for multi-window mode, hiding the status/navigation bars is not possible while apps are running in freeform mode. What you could do, though, is disable the navigation bar entirely (through build.prop) and then use an app such as Simple Control to provide an alternate implementation of the software keys.

Taskbar staying open even after all freeform mode windows have been closed is by design. If it's not set as your default launcher, though, you can still press the home button to collapse Taskbar and exit freeform mode. (You're not the only one that has asked about this, so I might make this an option in a future version :))

You can already turn off the Taskbar by either: pressing the "Quit" button in the notification, or by long-pressing the app drawer icon and selecting "Quit". I already have a "Start Taskbar" homescreen shortcut for Android 7.1+ devices - perhaps I should change this to an on/off toggle instead?
[Android Apps and Games] xXLosstarotXx:
Perfect, I'll use a third-party nav bar instead, I forgot it was possible to disable the system one via build.prop.

A toggle is a great idea, and if in the future it's possible to add support so it can be set with a Nova gesture or a similar app, we won't need a dock anymore ?

Another thing I saw while checking the app was that when you move any window to one side of the screen it automatically pins like in split mode. Is there a way to avoid this? I'm not completely sure, but through the developer options it was possible to disable this. However, I cannot find it anymore.

[Android Apps and Games] BootloopedMillennials:
I was using this wonderful app for awhile as my main launcher. The problem I ran into was Hangouts Dialer wouldn't launch with this app installed. Think it was some issue with drawing on top conflicting.
[Android Apps and Games] farmerbb:
No it's not possible to disable that. It's built-in behavior of Android.
[Android Apps and Games] farmerbb:
Hmm, interesting, I use Hangouts Dialer and haven't had any issues using it with Taskbar. I'll investigate this a bit more though.
[Android Apps and Games] BootloopedMillennials:
I tested the new version and it works with Hangouts Dialer. Issue now is my power button doesn't work with Taskbar as home launcher. If I enter an app it works fine but on the homescreen it doesn't. If my phone falls asleep on homescreen, I can't turn it back on without rebooting.
[Android Apps and Games] farmerbb:
The power button issue is a ROM-specific bug that has been reported on OnePlus devices, and also devices running CyanogenMod/Lineage OS. It's an issue with freeform mode itself, unfortunately, and not with Taskbar.
[Android Apps and Games] BootloopedMillennials:
I am using a CM based rom. I will turn off freeform.
[Android Apps and Games] RudeboyXL:
--Feature request--

Please add an option to disable the start button entirely so it can be used purely as a system wide dock or resents bar only.

Please add icon spacing options so we can centre icons etc when using the "fill white space" option. either manual padding or various presets. also aligning them left/centre/right would be nice also.

Thanks and keep up the great work.
[Android Apps and Games] RudeboyXL:
Also, any thoughts to a Kitkat compatible version? We don't need free-form windows, but surely the overlay taskbar would work just fine on kitkat. I ask because Taskbar is extremely useful for tablets, yet most tablets are still running pre-lollipp android versions.
[Android Apps and Games] farmerbb:
Assuming you're talking about the navigation bar icons, yes, more customization options for them is something I plan on adding.

As for compatibility with Android 4.x devices, this is something I have actually investigated adding before. There are a few issues with adding support for 4.x, though, that I would have to work around before I consider supporting those versions:

The app is pretty tightly built around APIs that were only added in 5.0, such as UsageStatsManager and LauncherApps

The app also takes advantage of the Material theme for context menus, and I have not been able to get the context menus to look correct on Android 4.x devices using AppCompat

More testing would be involved on my end if I were to support 4.x devices in addition to 5.0+
[Android Apps and Games] RudeboyXL:
Understood. I'll keep my fingers crossed. It's the one thing I'm missing from my kitkat tablet to make it truly awesome.

Fantastic app( but for nougat only...I am talking about freeform). It needs the following two features and it will be unbeatable:

1. Option to open notifications in freeform/floating like hover or halo and

2. All the features working below nougat(at least lollipop)also. Thanks for reading.
[Android Apps and Games] Motawa88:
Is it possible to trigger the taskbar with on screen navbar? Maybe with tasker and custom navbar app?
[Android Apps and Games] keveen:
Excellent app - restored a better version of windows than were on my Lenovo Yoga Book. If I click on the maximise window button so that it fills the screen, I can't see a way to rewindow the same app?
[Android Apps and Games] Dead_Dude:
is there any hope of getting live wallpaper support added to this app?

I would absolutely adore the ability to use this as my Launcher with KLWP.

But I don't know if that is even possible... :/
[Android Apps and Games] ambitiousButRubbish:
I know this thread is pretty old now, but not sure where else to put this.

With taskbar installed as a system app, it's possible to have it detect only the running apps (found this out thanks to bliss OS), however, i am unable to get a list of running apps on Android 9 MIUI 10, it just remains blank, is this a bug in the app, or an issue with MIUI (rooted with magisk, app has been manually moved into /system/app)
[Android Apps and Games] KhasperTek:
Hello! I have used taskbar before but when I uninstalled and did a factory reset on my phone, the resizable button overlapped with the close or X button on the recent apps screen until now. By the way, My Phone is a Huawei Nova 2 Lite (Y7 Prime 2018) runnig on Android 8.0 Oreo on top of EMUI 8. Keep up the good work! Cheers! ?
[Android Apps and Games] trohn_javolta:
Hi, I'm using Taskbar on my Nvidia Shield Tv, Android Tv.

Works great, only thing missing now for me is to control Taskbar via my Logitech Harmony remote.

As stated to bring up Taskbar with Super/Windows button I need to enable Taskbar as search assistant.

Right now hitting Windows button in Android Tv brings up some google search bar.

Unfortunately Android Tv lacks of several settings, which you also seem to have noticed :) The "appops set....." pop ups for some settings like adding a home button in Taskbar are great, I have root access and can simply execute them in a terminal :)

With help of the apps Tasker and Button Remapper I was able to press a button on my remote and it opens the taskbar. Unfortunately I still cannot navigate now in taskbar, like up and down doesn't scroll through apps list, it navigates on main screen.

So if you could add a way to controll Taskbar with a remote that would be really awesome!

Already sent such question to the mailadress that's available on playstore but got no answer :(
[Android Apps and Games] xlinkx:
Hi,

Is there anyway to automatically start an app and widget on boot in freeform mode? Also is it possible to save last size and location of the app like skyolin xposed module.. I would love to see these features and wouldnt mine paying for it.
[Android Apps and Games] Sage:
This is great!
[Android Apps and Games] atl068:
Anyone tried this on a Samsung Tab S6 lite and get a Dex mode like experience on the tablet itself?
[Android Apps and Games] WalterCool:
I'm just testing on Tab S4, it works quite buggy, but works. Main problem is the nav-bar (you can't hide it), and virtual nav-bar from Taskbar doesn't work (at least for me)

But in overall, works exactly same

Update: Reinstalled and virtual-navbar from Taskbar works now, maybe a bug. Still, can't hid my system nav-bar
[Android Apps and Games] hardy81:
Not much activity here. The app is dead I suppose? Not developed anymore?
[Android Apps and Games] koliberk:
Don't think so, recent app update was on June 2020.

I'm using Taskbar 6.0, it's solid good on my OP7 T Pro!

I have few suggestions:

1. Way to unlock the phone with external keyboard/touch screen. Now only way to do it, is on the phone.

2. Notifications displayed on external screen. As for now, I can only expand notifications on the phone screen, while connected e.g. to NexDock. You can check my post on XDA https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=83678083&postcount=8

3. Have a settings on external screen for volume and Power Menu. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50502743503_21ba4fe5a8_b.jpg

4. To have a battery percentage next to battery icon. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50502743503_21ba4fe5a8_b.jpg

5. Fix the issue, where there is a gap when taskbar is at the bottom. Looks like there is a space at the bottom of the screen and taskbar itself, like it it floating 5mm above the bottom edge of the screen. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50503424781_94ddea3654_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50503579272_0b275962ef_b.jpg

6. Fix the issue with Night Mode on the phone, while the external display is flicker/blinking with Night Mode on, than back to off. [youtube]Tx3ZqPJeoPs[/youtube]

But this may be an Android issue with Desktop Mode in development state.

7. I would like to have a complete phone screen blackout, maybe you can use a totally black wallpaper on the phone to preserve the battery and screen burnout, similar like in the Flow Desktop - there is a slide to turn it On/Off. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50503469456_bac9b88548_b.jpg

Or just make the "Desktop mode is active" and settings icon to move around the screen to protect against screen burnouts.

8. You can add round edges to taskbar and taskbar menu like on the Flow Desktop https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50502743503_21ba4fe5a8_b.jpg

9. Add setting option for dark/light theme to taskbar on external screen (I know this can be change in Appearance setting menu in the app)

10. Would like to have screen resolution settings for external display and option to choose size of the button to expand/collapse taskbar. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50503469456_bac9b88548_b.jpg

Overall, Taskbar is a great addition to my OP7T Pro, lots of additional options and functions. I have a paid version, so thanks for developer work!

P.S.

Did anyone found an issue while connecting phone to external display, there is no response with keyboard, touchpad or external touch screen? Feels like Android Q Desktop Mode turns only external display, without connection to keyboard/touchpad/touch screen.

I can charge my phone this way.

When after next few unplug and reconnecting the cable, all seems to work again, phone won't charge than. But Desktop Mode fully works again.

:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Connorsdad:
Just discovered this today and it's great, well done to the dev and keep up the good work, yes I opted for the donate version. Oneplus 7t here, seems the edges of the screen disappear if that makes any sense (as though my TV is too small to display the full image), not sure how to fix this. Another issue I've found is whatsapp opens the chats on the phone instead of on the tv/monitor.

Still, it's a great tool, look forward to the day I can ditch the laptop at work and just plug my phone into a display.
[Android Apps and Games] Rushikesh787:
This app really gives Windows like experience.. great for multiple tasks
[Android Apps and Games] kos25k:
Great work thank you dev!!!

I would like also to suggest something! Is it possible to implement taskbar (with some way like root,adb) to existing navbar?So stock navbar keys to remain at their stock position and other taskbar options and buttons to be placed left and right from stock buttons?With this way,also we can hide/unhide whole navbar from stock tv box settings,(or hide/unhide instantly from stock navbar button at left)without navbar takes extra place above from stock navbar.Thank you!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Modifiedwheeler:
Really awesome launcher. Has made the Desktop Mode option on my OnePlus 8T useable. Hope everyone using it is buying the donation version. It's only $1.99 and maybe if more of us did the launcher could go further.

Shocking to me how ignored this Desktop Mode feature is so far. I use it a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] andyflet:
What do I do if my google Play market doesnt update. shows me some error. And as a result, I cant download any apps:(
[Android Apps and Games] sosimple:
Working fine in galaxy s10lite (at phone, didn't test to external display).

Also working in xiaomi mi pad 2. But it has android 5.1 and free form options isn't there.. I suppose android 5x doesn't support it. Any way to be supported? I am rooted.

Thanks for this amazing app!
[Android Apps and Games] eljuggy:
Hi MW,

I'm looking on using a huion kamvas 13 drawing tablet with a oneplus 8t (I do not own this phone yet)

The tablet works fine with samsung dex mode and Huawei pc mode.

I could not find positive results with oneplus. Do you think this app will make it work ?

Is the video out native full hd ? Can you rotate the display out ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
@farmerbb

Any plans on resuming development on this app?

Just a few minor tweaks is all that is needed:

1. Option to open the launcher with a single tap on the arrow, as opposed to two taps. This will be especially useful for those who don't use the recent apps feature in the app.

2. Option to manually adjust the position on screen.

3. Automatically collapse taskbar with a tap anywhere on the screen, as well as after a set time period, like 5 seconds.

4. Optimize the Search feature. It is pretty slow even on my S22U.

5. Support for App Shortcuts.

Thanks.

If development stopped maybe open source it so others can continue your great work!
[General Questions and Answers] ZaTaisho:
Hello everyone,

I am brand new here and I have been searching for a solution to my current problem for over half a day now with no luck, and I'm hoping you guys could give me a definitive solution.

I am currently using a LGL22C (LG Power) Tracfone and I've come across a boot loop problem.

During the boot screen with the LG logo, I am presented with the following at the top left of the screen:

ERROR : boot certification verify

[450] ---------------------------------------------------------------

[450]

[450] Secure boot Error!

[450] Cause : boot certification verify

[450]

[450] ---------------------------------------------------------------

(Note: The boot loop continously restarts my phone while having 450 changing into 440 and vice-versa from time to time)

My phone was rooted via Kingroot and I've had it rooted for a little over 2 months. My phone is now in a bootloop due to the installation of Magisk v9. I accidentally installed it using Magisk Manager v2.1, which updated and installed everything that is "Magisk", which then prompt me to restart (which I did), and I'm now in this dilemma.

Again, I have searched for a solution for half a day and I did find some solutions that I thought would work, but unfortunately my phone can't:

1.　Connect to my PC (No matter what I do, like update drivers)

2.　LG Mobile Support Tool cannot detect nor support L22C model in its listing.

3.　Doesn't have Emergency Mode, Download Mode, or Recovery Mode.

My phone CAN in fact go to Factory Reset, but that doesn't do anything in terms of solving my problem.

PLEASE I hope you can assist me. I am truly in a desperate situation.

Thank you!

UPDATE: I just tried to move my number to a different phone (LG Optimus Fuel) which I know that works for the time being. I deactivated it, added my other phone to the plan, but now it's affecting my other phone! I can somehow manage to get it to the Main Screen, but I can't uninstall anything, nor can I use the Phone app, because it states that my Contacts have stopped working (along with several other applications). My other phone has never done this before, nor did it have issues, but it started as soon as I tried to reactivate my number from my LG Power.
