I think he wants to disable the task manager/switcher completely while his app is in the foreground. He doesn't want to exclude his app from it.

That would need your app to be in system, which you cannot do manually from the Play Store.
Or u have to make your own task manager from where your launcher will be excluded.

Showing it in the Task Manager does not require any special requirements. All apps are shown there unless you add any one of the lines in my earlier post.
not necessary

I might be seen as a hater here, but why would you want people to not be able to uninstall your app? Never have I seen an app that needs this functionality...

Well, most times it doesn't make sense. However, it is useful if you develop a kids mode app. So that they are limited to just those apps you allow them to use. Or some security app which has to be prevented from unauthorized uninstalling using a password.

Its the closest thing he has to solving his "problem" or what he would easily be able to use.
taskiller or something else dont kills services and selfstarting background apps, you can try with startup auditor which has an option to prevent apps to start again but i want an app which can really disable this ****, hope somone knows a better solution

Well you can simply uninstall the app/system app then.
If its a system app you want removing use "SystemApp Remover".
I don't see what's the big deal ! this is not something new, it doesn't kill your battery any faster if you kill them, use advanced task killer, set auto kill level to safe, set auto kill frequency to When screen off, only leave important apps on the ap list unchecked, add the auto kill widget to your homescreen, and every time you want just hit that widget killing all apps and go on with your day!!
Try Autostarts: http://www.androidpit.de/de/android/market/apps/app/com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts/Autostarts
With this app you have not only control of the startup programms, you also can disable apps, that would starts if different events happens. gl

of course it can kill your battery faster,like an update service witch activates your data, a music player which is watching if ur headset is plugged or things like that and its not enough to kill them with taskiller cause they can restart from them selve!
try multitasking from royerd, its a taskmanger which start when u press homebutton twice,there u can kill apps and u have a tab where u can see active services and kill them trough a shortcut

1. The ones running in the background are normally services or any apps which are not closed.
2. You can see service/apps run status using any task manager tool from market.
3. The services are installed as part of the app installed on your machine.
4. They are more often than not harmless as far as battery is concerned but can
be problematic if you have limited RAM on your phone
5. The best bet is to un-install the apps themselves, if you want to get rid of the services.
6. The normal task managers don't kill services running in background as that is what they are meant to do,otherwise the apps they are linking will not work properly.
7. Some apps on market claim to kill services/apps automatically as and when they are started by system, but this counterproductive as a service once installed will always attempt to start at frequent intervals and then the task manager killing them resulting in higher battery drain anyway.
Also, this means the task manager will always be running in the background.
So in short, the best bet for now is to un-install the apps which have background services running if you dont use them much.
Hope this helps.
First of all you may have to have Play store installed, unless you can find any of the apps I mention in this thread from different sources. UPDATE: I found one of the apps that is need for this tutorial below at 1mobile.com link will be below. For more info on that search around the threads or visit my kindle fire HDX setup thread. It is targeted for the 7" model but you may be able to download these apps from 1mobile.com on the 8.9" or on a 7" that doesn't have play store.
So, first off, I installed a app from play store called recent apps quick button, which basically activates android's recent apps, I havent found another (legal) link to this besides playstore so please share if you do. then I installed a app from play store called Home2 shortcut, here's a link to Home2 shorcut on 1mobile, I haven't confirmed it works on default ROM so let me know your findings! this lets you assign the resent apps quick button to double tapping the home button so now when i double tap the home button it brings me to recent apps. It's really nice since kindles default Rom doesn't have a recent apps button! let me know what you think and if i works for people without a different launcher (I use ADW launcher). post any questions you have in this thread.
Nice work! Screenshots in recent apps does not seem to work though, but it's a start

Are you using a third party app to screenshot? or is there a button combination to do it that i don't know about.

No not that kind of screenshots... I mean the "previews" in the recent apps which is in reallity small screenshots of the apps while recent apps are running.
Does sliding the right side of the screen to the left show the same recent apps?

Possibly, but this program he is referring to also allows you to close recent apps by swiping them away. I like to pin this recent apps program to the "W8 taskbar" application which also has a task killer and shortcut to desktop. It makes accessing wifi toggle and reboot/ power off simple to do.
You can use switchr for recent apps. It works and looks good too. Lmt launcher is also working although it fcs. I think fc has to do with root, cause it actually needs root to work properly.

Yeah you can, it's in the options. You can have so you swipe through open apps, swipe down to kill the currently selected one and even swipe to the upper right corner to kill all.
Though that might be the pay version. I can't remember what's in which version off the top of my head.

Also I like how I can have a close all button in the recent apps page using a module from exposed framwork
Here's a cool recent apps app ported from Omni Rom called OmniSnitch
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2637388
Been using it for a couple hours & it works on my rooted hdx.
Is there a way to see recently launched apps and switch between them?
This function should be definitely included in default system. So useful!
Can't test it now but try it with long pressing the home button

Ok, didn't know. Thank you
I had the same idea but did not work lol.
I am not sure what you are looking for exactly, but the list of apps on the original launcher is always reorganized to show the most recently used apps first. Or are you using a different launcher?
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Free mobile app
The best way of doing this is with LMT Launcher using it's Pie feature. Install it, and set up an item as Activity -> System UI -> com.android.systemui.recent.RecentsActivity. This gives you the recent apps, which is normally non-accessible on the shield. You can then add a few others as you see fit. I've added the power menu for example, which gives you the full power off, reboot and sleep options. Not found that anywhere else. All works best with a mouse, so you're best using an alternative launcher like HALauncher. But I suspect most people are doing that anyway given how restricted and awful Leanback is.
It can be downloaded here.
this is like the third or fourth thread about this
When I first got my MIA1, I played around with a few versions of different Google Cam mods. I have just looked and didn't realise I still had two installed. I am looking to see if any of these new versions offer me some more benefits but before I do, I want to make a record of the version of the apps and all the settings I have for them.
The problem is they all use the same icon. I am looking to find the exact install that I used for each of these apps. When I go to Settings > Apps > and click on the App Info for the first mod it is just called "Camera" and it is "version 4.4.020.163412804".
The other one is called "GCMod5" and is version number 5.1.016.174405463.
How can I tell what exact installer I used for these cams?
Also, how can I tell what shortcut icon on the home screen is for which cam? When I open the app and look in the open apps, thery are all just called "camera". I wish the mods would call the app the actual mod name, not just "camera."
Just touch and hold the app icon and then select "App info" from the popup menu.
Actually, App Info doesn't show anything relevant as I mentioned clearly in the OP.
If I long click from the home screen I get the option to delete or uninstall. If I long click from the app drawer I get the option to take a selfie or take a video.
If anyone knows how to find this information I would be grateful.

From app drawer long press on camera and drag it to home screen without releasing your finger, at the top you will get app info and uninstall option during this process
Or install lawnchair launcher in that directly you will get app info option after long pressing on app icon

And that version has no relevance to the Developer or the APK install name.

Why don't you just uninstall one camera app test whatever you need to test and then install the other one?
Hello, I cant find reminder in phone. Install apk dont work and galaxy apps and google apps dont find anything. Does somebody have working app? Sorry for english
You sure?
The app is there but you think to "need" to use it first. i.e. reject a call with a text etc and that will prompt the phone to launch the app for the first time. After that it will ask you if you wish to create a shortcut. I did this using a Nova Launcher activity widget to start the app and now I have the icon showing under the apps list as usual.

Just ask Bixby to set a Reminder for you, that's what I did and then I had the icon.

I don't have the guts to activate Bixby haha
If you don't want to try Bixby, try "Nova Launcher" and create an Activity widget. Use the widget to launch the Reminder MainUI applet
In settings, under apps, go into the reminder app and in the top right corner you will see the settings icon. Select that, toggle on the online storage and finish configuring. (Add places, etc.) After you do this you will see the app icon in your app drawer.
