SwipePad, is an awsome way to multitask, the best so far i have tested(my opinion)
Much more easy way to multitask then the default by holding he home button.
Give it a try =)
Its for free in the Market.

I do that with the notification power widget.
I've been using cyanogenmod so I'm not sure if it's part of the default UI or not heh.
Oh, and this SwipePad thingie rocks
wow this app is wild! im really enjoying it!
anyone noticing battery drains tho? not saying that i do (only using it for like an hour..) just curious
This app is ridiculously great, something I think should be integrated into android after using it for only a few minutes. Awesome

Very nice, but I was hoping it behaved more like a task manager, to switch between currently running tasks.

White/Honeycomb Dialer Widget!
Install with a explorer app and thats it! All done
Let me know if you like! Or if i can make any changes!
If you do like say thanks
its widget right ?
looks good . thanks buddy , but my last concedring is add another page in my tab
thanks for your offerts
Looks nice, thanks!
I would suggest you to post it in Android software forum since it works also on other devices, i'm using on my HD2 right now.
When you end a call it does return in internal dialer, would be nice if it return on widget itself and some sort of vibration while hitting numbers are my suggestions for a new release.
cheers.
Is this what the Honeycomb dialer really looks like?
Interesting
Thanks

Thanks to Blue6IX, he made the process really easy for me!
It's extremely easy for you to use-- just install as a regular apk and that's it! I've done my best not to include any apps that could be potentially harmful, but just be careful anyways .
Some screenies:
And this is what it looks like on the Sensation with icons (it looks a lot better! and will eventually look like this maybe):
I had to take these on my Vibrant so none of them are installed for me, but it should automatically detect whether or not they're installed on your phones.
Wow this is awesome lol. Good job bro.

I think this is going to make a whole lot of people's lives much easier.
Love it, works great, thanks!
Does this work with Virtuous?
No it doesn't find any bloats. Even of there's a lot
Worked like a charm on Bulletproof. Gives me control of what I do and do not want. Ended up removing almost everything that was considered bloatware anyways, but still nice to have the ability to keep (or reinstall) what I want.

Cannot open file in GS2 running CM7 nightly 80....
I have created this little app out of frustration with the hardware buttons on my Galaxy S3. I don't really mind the back, menu, or Home button implementations but I am really annoyed because of the implementation of the recent apps. On a Galaxy S3, we all know that one has to press the hardware home key for a while to open the recent apps view. This greatly hampers multitasking and, honestly, it even turned me off of the idea of multitasking using the recent apps view.
But I recently used a friend's Galaxy Nexus and found that the recent apps view was not only very convenient to switch between apps, but also very effective. And the convenience was amplified by the fact that the recent apps button was ever present on the phone's screen. So I decided to implement something similar for my phone.
I came across STANDOUT , a library made by Mark Wei (xda member pingpongboss) which perfectly suited my needs for this app and made creating this app a breeze. Thanks a lot Mark!!
So here is my app called "FLYING RECENTS". It is a floating button that does nothing but open the default recent apps view. It is draggable via the handle attached at its bottom, it is semi-transparent so as to not be too distracting, and it can be closed by clicking its notification in the notification shade. Go ahead. Give it a try. I am sure people with hardware buttons will appreciate the utility of this app once they use it. Do offer suggestions if any, and I will try to incorporate them into the app as much as i can.
Made for a Galaxy S3. Ideal use case is for phones like Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S4, etc. All phones with hardware buttons running Android 4.0+ benefit from this app.
UPDATE: Version 1.01 includes a better looking drag handle. Thanks to pratyush997 for the suggestion!!
UPDATE: Version 1.02 includes a transparent notification bar icon.

Thanks for your response. I hope you enjoy using this. If you don't mind, hit thanks, and tell people about this app. Everybody deserves the ease of convenience don't they?
Very very nice, been looking for a while for something like this.
I have a suggestion Don't u think it would be more practical and less obstructive if it was more like a gesture based launcher (like swipepad, sidebarpro).
We set it up that once u swipe from the home button upwards the screen, it will launch the recent apps. I've tried many apps but none were perfect for that simple task.
Thx for the nice app, would be appreciated if u can consider my suggestion.

Trust me it was my original aim to make this app just like that (i.e. dragging the button itself) but I cannot for the life of me make it draggable. That is why I had to include the handle. Feel free to suggest any coding workarounds if you can. It would greatly benefit me.
Useful app! May I suggest the addition of floating 'back', Home', 'menu' buttons as well?

As far as I can tell, adding the back button is not possible without rooting. But i will get back with the home button implementation soon.

Well I was just about to suggest you try Easy Mode, there isn't anything easier/bigger then that.
Now I don't usually say things like these, but you bought your grandma the wrong phone. A flagship phablet is not for someone who finds Easy Mode confusing. Consumerism must die.
Windows 7 / 8 Launcher. Very simple.
Easier mode is the best. You need to guide her with heart. If easier mode she also can't accept. Then you need to make everything she need to use in one page.

You might root the phone and then in build.prop change screen dpi. Use nova launcher and place everything in one or two pages. Hide dock and status bar(so that she doesn't gets lost) and for battery info use battery widget reborn.
As simple :thumbup:
