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

Thank you. I know how to get the App Info... But there is no relevant information in App info. That is my point.

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.

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.

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.

Here's a cool recent apps app ported from Omni Rom called OmniSnitch

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
Probably doing something dumb but can't find an obvious answer.
When I press the icon above the app in the Recents I only get the option to 'Open in pop-up view' no option to open in split screen.

Mine has the option for split screen. Have you tried other apps?
Tried all the usual suspects only get option to open in pop up window. Using force all apps setting in MultiStar makes no difference.
press the task manager and the icon of the app u can split there.. its the new way of One UI.... all samsung has split screen

Press the button towards the bottom and it will asked you what apps to open in multi window...you pick the app and drag to the portion of the screen you want
It's because you are using the task changer in good lock. For some reason they removed the option when you change from the default task switcher.

I don't have the option for shutter sound either.
If using Good Lock like me then go to task manager window. Hold the icon of the app you want to split screen and you should get the screen as attached. Hopefully that works for you.

Apps that can be split screened will show an option at the bottom or top of screen. Try splitting an app like chrome with YouTube. Different apps give different options. Some can't be split screened.

Understand.
In this case every app does not give the option.
For example:
You can use bxActions to map split screen to your bixby button.
Don't do it with the app that sits on top of the list. Go to another app, so that the app you want to split is shown second.
Now tap and hold this second app (the icon on the top or the whole app thumbnail, as both work) and it will give you the option to split.
Strange.
My split screen is working and I also have the option for shutter sound.

You need to configure the buttons you want. It is all done from within the app. Please don't claim something does not work if you never even looked at the settings.
