Okay, the stock task switcher is effective, but in no way flashy. And of course the market has nothing good. I was wondering if anyone knew of any apps or mods that replace the stock switcher with a more stylish one. Preferably somewhat similar to the iphone 4 (what can I say, it's worse than the n1, but they make it look so nice ) or even cards like on the palm pre.
The only thing I found that was even close was Movial Task Switcher, but I can't find any release for it. Here's what it looks like:

Thanks in advance
I am sorry I have no contribution ATM... but that app is sweet!
Isn't it. And since the N1 has twice the processing power, it would be completely fluid.
did anyone get a hold of this app yet?
Yup I'm interested too

Wow I didn't even know that that was possible to do unless you have a specialised ROM with the added code & root access... Is that actually real? Looks awesome!

Took some time to do some googling and I came up empty trying to find where I can get this... This looks amazing, if anyone knows where a release of this can be found, please do share
wow this is amazing. they seriously need to release this ASAP.
I have sent them an Email and will still email them till they answer... if more people email them they might maybe release it!
Is that video actually from May? that is ages ago. Why have I never seen this!
yup these guys must have died or something...
For iphone-esque task switching, download"Task tray " from the market.
Obviously Froyo has removed the ability to kill tasks, but switching works well nonetheless.
Yupe, the Movial Task Switcher is pretty nice! Wow! Hope the owner release it soon. I don't even might if it a paid apps. (off course with reasonable price).

You can try Visual Task Switcher, from market, it isn't prefect, but it's pretty nice. It use app thumbnails to show apps.

The only way to kill an app in Froyo is Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, select the app, and choose "Force stop." No app can kill another app in froyo (so, Taskiller, etc. don't work). This was because task killers are pointless and detrimental to your Android system. They, and the bugs they cause, have become so common that Google had to fix the problem by disabling them all. However, I do think that those of us with su should re-implement this, in hopes that hackers/modders are smart enough to know not to use Taskiller. I just want a cool switcher app, with an ability to kill a renegade apps quickly and easily, with less than a dozen screen taps. Something like AppSwipe.
Wow, liking Visual Task Switcher. Could do with some polish but it does thumbnails like it says..

just got the email back from Movial
Hi,
Thanks for your interest in Movial. Unfortunately you can't get a hold of the Movial Task Switcher as it was made for demonstration purposes only, and we currently have no plans to release it as a commercial application.
Best regards,

Yep, just downloaded it as a result of your recommendation. It almost emulates the video in the OP. It only seems to show "open apps" (i.e. foreground tasks) not "recent apps" though... so if you exit an app it does not display... in some ways this is actually quite nice.
Even better with CM6 because you do NOT need to bind it to short press of Home key... in CM settings you can bind it to long press of Home key and completely replace the built in functionality!
Previews need a little polish and I'll reserve judgement for a few days but this may be quite good!
Missed your Wrist Watch? Now you have a new clock design and fancy buttons and new Font!
As my gift to XDA members, this app is free for limited time. If you want to support me buy it on market -->
***Icons in "add alarm" have same color as the watch, i just didnt uploaded pics for those
Link
It only takes 1 sec to click on "Thanks button".
Dear devs, plz do not add the clock to your roms. Thank you.
Credit: 4 Menu buttons are from Miuitheme/Glowbuster theme.
Thanks for you great efforts.
NOTES: App should work for most roms, some devices running gingerbread might have issues. If app finds enough fans, gingerbread version will also be added.
Instructions:
1) Clean cache in your stock Clock app and remove the old widget.
2)rebooting not necessary but recommended.
3)Copy it to your sdcard and install it with your favorite installer
4) Enjoy!

Hey,
Great looking app, can't wait to try it out.
Just installed it to my Desire HD (stock rom, 1.72 firmware) via adb and whenever I try to add the widget to my home screen, it tells me "no more room on this homescreen". This is with LauncherPRO.
On restart of my phone I also got a message saying that the process had crashed and had to force close. (app loads fine however, just not able to put the widget on)
Any suggestions?
I just tried it on my galaxy s it says no enough romm in this page in both launcher pro and touchwiz.
When i open the app it force close and keep doing the same.
I really want this watch but no luck.

There was no need to use adb! It's similar to stock but not same app. The widget will occupy the whole screen. Did you have another shortcuts on the screen when u tried?

Btw can this directly be installed from the market? Unlike other apps which require root access plus fiddling with the adb process and commands?

Heh, only reason I used adb was because I downloaded the apk on my desktop, and my phone was plugged in but not mounted. I'm lazy like that XD
And yeah, I tried it on an empty home screen, so no other widgets on it.

Hey Adam, I've been toying around with the launcher pro settings, just found, your widget uses a 5x5 layout currently which may be why many people are having issues not being able to add this to a home screen since the default is 4x4.
Any chance of a 4x4 version?
Cheers

Hi all.
Let me start off by saying. . . I have no knowledge of porting or modding and was extreemely lucky to get this far. I need some dev help!
Here is my attempt at porting a landscape only 3d launcher for our tab. Works on 2.2-2.3.3.
It is a beta/alpha version.
I say beta/apha because some things dont work yet, but it runs very smooth. So I am calling it that.
This was originaly a launcher for anouther tablet (advent vega tab) and I believe it is called 3d Home Launcher Screen for Vega. It was designed for use with a Tegra processor.
Here is a link to vid of it running natively on its original device.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-4k62ln4j4
Did some tinkering, reading, hacking, slashing and harassing. . . . . lots of cursing
And. . . .
I got it installed and MOSTLY working . A few thing still need work.
Let it settle in. It has its own cache, and needs to build it. Restart the launcher maybe twice over an hour period. Its been running smooth, finding and playing all audio/video files. It created its own audio and video thumbnails.
®Music app DOES currently play music. It is visually stunning.
®Video app DOES play video.
*No google search bar. Thats okay. It was kinda cool tho. It caused FC's. Anything that caused fc's has been taken out of the uploaded version.
*Animated Weather widget shows weather but doesn't show the three days of the week buttons. It's just a black box that now turns to the next city. Maybe font is not installed. I am looking for it.
*It dissables two soft buttons. The search button and menu button. Long pressing the search key still brings up voice search. And pressing menu in apps still works. Pressing search button in an app still works.
Download launchkey and remap the long press search key to open search instead of voice search
*Button on right of task bar does nothing, I took out the Guide. It was for the original Tablet. Maybe it could be modded to open another app?
*Dock bar seems a little visually kooky. Black boxes under each icon where it is supposed to say name of each. Maybe font is not installed. I am looking for it. Also maybe this is because it is for a 10 inch tab screen and ours is 7.
Maybe a few things more but I cannot remember.
Guys, I think I am getting close, but would like some help, please, as I have no idea what I am doing.
®download both zips, unzip both and install all files. Sorry bout two zips. XDA has a size limit. Can anyone help make a CWM Recovery flashable zip? There is alot to install, and I dont want anyone missing an apk.
®works on any dpi.
®there are more widgets but currently they cause the forceclosures
®let it "settle"
®Devs focus on the *'s this is what I need the most help in

I have on my Desire ages ago. Have they actually updated it or does it work fine?
| Don't Revive Me Bro! |
I dont know if they updated it, but it works smooth on my 2.2.3 beta 2 overcome.
Netfront life screen: my only gripes so far is no orientation change. And the annoying need to click on the desired icon, it scolls to "home" then you gotta click again to open it.
And it would be awsome to have the circle centered in landscape on the middle bottom, or middle?
Kinda why i want the 3d launcher ported
I guess running netfront and circle launcher is the best 3d we are gonna get till someone ports the 3d launcher.
I've just been trying Claystone Launcher from the market, its a beta but works ok, no landscape mode, and app draw is slow and laggy, but other features are very good, i follow this and hope it will be nice and fast at some later date.
More info here:http://www.appbrain.com/app/claystone-launcher-%28beta%29/com.claystoneinc
It's from Advent Vega Tablet. i raised the same question some time back but no one seems to be interested.
I dont know why. It looks freakin sweet. I just think the people who, unlike me, can just dont want to. Everyone else waits for other people to do it. I bet if i had it posted available to instal right now, the download counter would be smoking.
Cmon guys, take a look and give some input. If you dont wanna do it teach me how. Id love to learn how to port things like this.
Here is a youtube vid on it running natively on its original tab.

For correcting the link.
I ripped the stock launcher out of a toshiba and its a pretty sweet launcher. Its definetly different that anyrhing we have available now.
If you wanna check it out, i can pm or email it to you as i cant upload.
It works great on any lcd desity, i have it on 182 right now. Using this in conjucture with circle launcher makes my tab visualy awsome and very unique.
I also have the dell stage launcher its a great portrait launcher because unfortunatly its resolution allows you to see part of each screen to the left and right in landscape mode. Still works in landscape mode, tho.
It is also diff than the regular old adw launcher. It has some widgets also.
I am in the process of ripping out every stock launcher i can find and trying to get it to work on the tab.
I am gonna start a new thread soon with all these in one spot that work on the tab. I am not gonna include launchers you can find on the market. Except in passing mention.
Do you think that thread is a good idea?
It's awesome! Kind of like the mini apps tray! Wizz Bar in the market!

Yea, I agree. I just installed it yesterday. It's really usefull with the overlay menu. Honeycomb should have had something like this out of the box as far as I'm concerned.
great app! after using it it's like thinking this was missing standard functionnality of honeucomb !
just one things, it'd be cool to be able to change the order of icons...
why couldn't this have been posted yesterday...
Looked all over the market- I wish they had better search function..
Wasted $2 on wave launcher.
But this app is what I was looking for. And free
is anyone having an issue of this app not loading up after coming out of sleep. Loads after reboot but not sleep
I have to physically go into app and hit apply for it to turn on after sleep.
Anyone know a fix for this

Really cool little app which helps give more functionality to honeycomb on the Transformer, thaks for the tip.
Excellent app but it completely slowed down my transformer and it began to stutter. killing the app solved the issue until it was started again. removed it for now. I will write an email to the developer because I see a lot of potential in this app.
needs more work but a really nice start
cool app....I put camera on there haha

"Launch from Notification" does not slow down home screen but it only allows 5 application to launch.
https://market.android.com/details?...launchfromstatusbarfree&feature=search_result
Fantastic App! This is exactly what I've been searching for since I saw the Touchwiz UI.
I also, tried out "Launch from Notifications" and while it gets the job done, it doesn't look as snazzy or have as many slots. (5 vs 8) I'll try both and see which one I like better and how much battery they suck down.
For me the Netflix and Polaris Office apps are larger than the rest of the icons, not sure why. Also, I'd love a GUI was to switch the apps around once added to the list. I understand this is a very early version as it references a paid version that doesn't exist as of this post, so I'm looking forward to seeing what the dev has to offer and would be willing to pay $1.00 for the improvements requested in this thread.
As other said, "A nice start" but...
what would be nice is to be able to run small app that can be on top of other apps. (a notepad, a calculator, etc,)
Very nice app, but slowing down homescreen is a huge letdown... Launch from notification works fine, think I'll stick to it for now.
Yeah, same here. Noticed a big drop in home screen smoothness. I like the concept though. Hopefully the dev can make some performance enhancements.
