Hello, got a Kindle HD 10, rooted, running all the Google apps. When I press the square button showing all recent apps and scroll to the top, I do not see a "clear all" button to remove all the recent apps. Anybody else have this issue? Using Nova Launcher. Thanks

By default, FireOS does not include a clear all button in recent apps. You'll have to use Xposed GravityBox or Recently app from the play store.

I really like the really simple menu and app drawer that the stock 1.2 has, but it only shows the built in apps or ones downloaded from the BN app store.
Is there any way to force all the other apps I have installed to show up? I would prefer to have the default "Home" launcher instead of Zeam, etc.
Any ideas?
It looks like B&N has the list of applications it installs through the Shop app. So until someone finds that database and how to manually add apps you will need to install a third part launcher. You can search the market for a home switcher application in the meantime if you like the stock launcher
Yeah, I have a home switcher installed already.
I really hope someone finds a way to override that list of apps that show up soon.

A workaround was brought up in the Manual Rooter thread about this. Basically, the workaround (and I'm running it right now) is to push the old BN 1.1's applauncher.apk to your system/app (should probably back it up first) and when you press the "Extras" button choose "applauncher"... everything will show up. The upside is now you can use default "Home" button but the downside is that the "Extras" tab doesn't populate new apps you install until a reboot.
Here's the applauncher.apk from 1.1 that I'm using.
Go to "Apps"
Tap on the "Archived" button
While holding the volume up hardkey, tap on the image of the speaker that appears.
This brings up the 1.1 "Extras"

Very nice! It worked for me. I tried volume down as well but volume up was the only one that did.
On my tbolt I can long press the home key and get a list of recent apps. This does not work on my rooted kindle running go launcher.
Any suggestions?
I personally flashed over to biteblazes cm9 reloaded v1.1 and with the ICS interface it comes with a soft button on the dock to open up recent apps. Very clean UI and runs exceptional with the exception of hardware acceleration which will soon be fixed when we obtain a working 3.0 kernel which hash is hard at work completing.

check out AppSwipe. Works great. I have it set to open on double tap of the home button.
I also bumped up the icon size to be more finger friendly. It's a very customizable app.

I bought appswipe and set it to open on a double tap of the home button. When I double tap the home button it just runs Go Launcher.
Any suggestions?
So holding down the menu key functions as a search key in many apps, however on my home Page of the launcher I get "app not installed". I have Google search installed so I'm not sure what I did, as my Nephew's phone opens it up fine. Any suggestions? Thanks
What carrier is your phone with? Who's your nephews phone carrier? Maybe one carrier doesn't have it?
I use Sprint and it pulls up search.

You can use an other launcher, for example Nova Launcher. There you can customize the button I think. You can rest it and download the free launcher at Google Play.
I use Nova Prime and I press the Menu Button and the camera opens on my Samsung Galaxy S3.
I just realized there's a difference between "Recent Apps" and "Running Apps"
pressing and holding the Home Button brings up a list of "Recent Apps" but is there a way to bring up a list of currently Running Apps?
I'm just quite confused... or is "Recent Apps" the closest we have to multi-tasking?
How does removing them from the list... also stop them from running?
after press and hold home button, on bottom left of recent apps there is white cirle icon select it, it will show you active apps-download-ram .
'Active Apps is running apps.

Hello everyone!
Saw the S5 announcement few days ago and noticed the changes made to the button layout. I'd like to know if there's a way to remap the menu button to work as a recent apps button. And better yet if it's possible to assign the "menu" function to a long press. I've searched Google but all the alternatives I see are for HTC phones or for onscreen buttons.
Thanks in advance!

Look for an app called 'Xposed Additions'. It will do both the things you want.
Installed it. Tried to configure the remapping but it's not doing anything. I hit the "remap" and a window pops up that says key code and it appears that it's waiting for some input, I hit a button but nothing happens.

Forget it, just nailed it. Reinstalled, rebooted and all is working as I want to. Thank you!

Xposed Addition doesnt support KK.
Is there another way for this other than Gravity Box for TW Kitkat?

How about MenuBeGone, I'm running this on my 4.4.2 SM-N9005
And it got option to select apps that you don't want to have overflow button on them (like on Action Memo that 3-dot menu replaces delete -button, so you can't delete any memos.. but where do you need menu at all on Action Memo, so just uncheck it on MBC and you're good)
Edit: And it also can remap long press on menu button to show menu (while menu button is remapped to open recent apps)

Which build are you on? (also towelrooted?)
So you remapped menu button=recent and long press=menu. (like on the S5?)
I dont get what you mean with the Action memo though. But from the Description of the App I can tell that youre talking about the Whitelisting?
Thanks.

Yes, some apps get "broken" look when 3-dot menu is enabled on them (like contacts) and yes, long press on "settings" button opens menu, while short opens recent tasks.
About Action Memo see screenshot: menu button "hides" detelete if not whitelisted from MBC
Edit: to make it clear, that module enables "3-dot menu button" on all applications by default. From module settings you can disable that button on selected apps. That module also sets devices settings button to open recent tasks and long press to open settings (so by long pressing you can reach menu also on apps you have disabled to use 3-dot menu)

I got it, thanks. Tried out and its working fine. In Nova launcher the Menu button blinks a lot though - on long press.
There is a certain delay. But I think i will try xposed additions some time later but for now its fine i guess
Thank you!
