[Q] Kill all in recent apps - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to have a kill all button in recent apps without using a task manager? Thanks!

It really does not help anything..

Oops accidentally pressed the "thanks" button.
But you should download "Advanced Task Killer" and then add the widget icon on the home screen. It will work clear all the apps without going in a task manager.

Thanks, but I meant something like a mod... Like extended power menu...
I'd like to stay on stock rom without having zillions of recent apps.

Android is smart enough to manage it's own memory now, what you suggest doing I'd actually counterproductive.

Hardly a useful reply, if you want to talk about how task killing isn't helpful then at least include some sort of explanation.

In that case I think a widget like the one in the above answer would probably do best.

How to unthank?

Where it says 'the following user has thanked xxxxxxx for this post' there should be a 'remove your thanks' button.

I'm interested in suggestions with this also. I think the question is being misunderstood. It is not so much killing the apps, like with a task manager. I would just like to be able to clear the recent apps list you get when tapping the recent apps button. With the stock way, you have to remove them one by one. I would like to be able to remove all at once. My reason for wanting this is because I do not like the fact that it shows thumbnail pics.

Is there some sort of Xposed module that does this?

Yes, the one which adds a ram bar also adds a kill all button, it's available in the xposed repo

Correctly defined. However, I was wondering, does it make any difference to the battery if these thumbnails appear in recent apps? or we remove them?

Install Gravity Box, link in my sig.
Otherwise this thread is too old already.

CyanogenMod also has the clear all recent apps button.

Long press on the mms.apk and press permissions then set it so that all 3 are checked for read, only user is checked for write and all are left unchecked for execute.
I don't have that option on long press. only properties.

Permissions is right above properties.

So essentially with this app you can change the icons on your toolbar, settings bar, etc.. which folder are the png's in? Been looking into system/framework/framework-res/res
Your on the right track, just a couple more.
System/framework/framework_res/drawable_MDPI
But for some like wifi strength or signal and the three on the left, those are in the SystemUI.apk like this
system/app/systemui.apk
After finishing systemui you will get constant f/C's, I just powered off and back on. That happened on the phone too and had to do battery pulls when I did it on the phone, while the force close pop up is up just hold down the power button and it will ask if you want to shut down, click yes and it will power down and should power up normally.

The image is very small, can't see the mods.
Anyone know where to find some good png's? to change some of the icons on the tab.
Like the back, home, applications icons.
I can see how easily you can change them in app/systemui,
just need images to change them with.
I went to XOOM theme forum and found a couple themes there to take the images from.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Thanks, yea they have alot of themes. Just took the images & placed them on my internal SD card, easy to switch out with ninjamorph can't seem to find the "halo" on the lock screen though so I can edit. Know which directory it's in?
Either at the very bottom of framework_res/res/drawable_mdpi for the Acer, and drawable_extra-large_mdpi for the XOOM

Icons wont change
Hey guys,
weird question. I'm running a Gingerbread mod and I updated the Wifi and Signal icons in SystemUI.apk, rebooted into recovery and copied over via ADB so nothing was in use by the system.
Now when I boot up, I get regular icons. I assumed it was something to do with the xml files, though when I open these, they're not exactly human readable.
Any ideas?

If you try to install the "AudioMonitor.apk" it is successful but without settings to control it, its useless.

The settings are actually in the app itself, what we need are librarys for the app to work.
It crashes looking for "rateconv" library.
EDIT: rateconv is in /lib/ of the dump, its "librateconv.so". Pushing this to /lib/ on my HTC One gplay lets the settings open but it immediately closes itself.
Ok, now it's crashing cause it doesn't have the motorola settings app, so you were right I guess.

I'm not sure how safe it is but maybe trying replacing the settings app on your HTC with the one in the Moto dump. Again probably not safe, but worth a try.

Need help with Stock Messaging app

Running on Omega v24 based on Android TW Based 4.3.
Anyway, I need help with something. The "Tiny" font in the stock messaging app is still way too big. I was wondering if there was a manual way in lowering the size of the font in the conversation. I've already tried Lowering the DPI of the app, but that also changes the actual UI, which I do not like.
So basically, I just want to make the font smaller without affecting the UI of the stock messaging app. Any ideas?
Is it a touch wiz based rom?

I don't think the timeline is screwed up, but you wont have "Most Recent" as the first page anymore. I don't think they're going to change that anytime soon. you have to pick "Most Recent" from the sidebar (icon on the right).
