So i have been working on something for awhile it started on paper and Made an example in Photoshop. the Idea is you open the notification bar and you swipe left and right to move through open applications and swipe up to end them Check out attachment.
PS: I am not a programmer so I cant make this happen I just thought of it..
BTW: can you control applications from the notification bar?? if not then this is worthless...
That would be really, really good. And I like your mock-up concept as well.
Sort of like the new Dolphin HD tab browser.
You should suggest this to one of the Launcher devs.
good..because the notification bar is always on top..will be great for multitasking.
That's why I tried to do in TaskOS ( free on the Market.)
I do not use the notification bar, but a long press on the search button ( if your device doesn't have one, in the settings you can choose camera button and will try to add more)
The screenshot should be working in some custom realease of CyanogenMod..

Putting something like this in place of long pressing the home button would be the best way I would think.
I like the idea *!*!
possible? Maybe. I think of the interaction of seepu+ as an interaction example, but I don't even wasn't to think about the memory that would suck up.
Do you plan on having all the apps in memory up there? Cause that's gonnna be alot of swiping to find what you need.
Also you already have the hold down home button. That's accessible even with the notification bar hidden (various browsers, apps hide the not. bar).
I really don't get the desire to have thumbnails on handhelds for what the activity is doing. 1) they will always bee too small to use by glancin 2) you know what your switching to, before you even bring up the recent apps function. 3) There is very little "visual" activities done on a phone that warrant a "preview" in order to choose which you want to pick.
All of you could also try Power Strip and Quick Desk for great multitasking usage with the search and homescreen buttons
ITS a CONCEPT not going to happen by me...
yes, multitaslk view is more important
i like your idea of thumbnail view of each programs running in the background. it allows us to look through all running programs, instead of small icons
If it is possible, it can be shown either using the search or home button
Good concept, but I'd be thinking of using the icon of the software instead of screen preview. Better for privacy...

its a great freakin concept. a great developer should take a look at this. i would no doubt pay for this
yes I think this is the ****! we don't need the system programs that are running, just the user programs...

The system can't differentiate between what programs the user launched and which were launched into memory automatically.

Well, it can eliminate system programs, and widgets, and programs with no launcher icon, and services, and...
so Anyone interested in making my concept a reality??

Send a message to arctu, the genius creator of HelixLauncher and QuickDesk...
What is your problem with the apps that we send you? They do exactly what you want exept they are not in task bar ( because we cannot "draw" into the taskbar)
TaskOS
Power Strip
Quick desk
The "screenshot" will be available in some custom ROMS:

He jailbreaked it...he applied menu animation in it by using application...means when he goes in the main menu then while sliding from one screen to another he can see different animations...its really cool to see such animations....!!!
This is the vdo of iphone software...its name is barrel.

There are 4 apps locked in the infuse 4g (Phone, email, web, applications). Even when you move to another screen the wont move! They are located at the bottom of the screen. How in the world can I delete add/exchange those apps for other apps? Thanks guys!

you can go to app menu screen and edit.
however, better to go to market and download "go launcher ex"
much more intuitive customizable screen n icons
Thanks brother, it was really helpful.

That's called the dock bar. Those will always be there unless (correct me if I'm wrong, havnt been on a stock launcher in awhile) long press the icon and trash it then replace if you want something different. Otherwise get a different launcher and you will be able to do so

The only way to add/edit/delete those "frozen four" icons at the bottom is by doing what you said before and clicking on Applications > menu button > customizable grid > drag the ones you want down to the bottom > menu button > save > menu button > alphabetical grid.
Not that I've done that before.
It's kind of silly but maybe you guys can explain to me how to operate it.
Sometimes when I just want to scroll it will do just that.
Sometimes when I want to scroll it scrolls and shows the url bar which is annoying.
The most annoying is when I just want to scroll and the url bar shows up accompanied by 4 bigass tabs on the bottom.
I'm sure there may be settings for these? But despite that I cannot explain why it has a mind of its own of what it wants to display when I decide to touch the screen.
Ps. How do you guys pull up the url bar without having to scroll? This design seems silly to me!

the URL bar and "4 bigass tabs on the bottom" show up when you scroll all the way up and hit the very top of the page.
i wasn't impressed by the stock browser, either. i switched to ICS Browser +, and i highly recommend it for everyone. it is much better and more customizable.
Easy. Go to the Play Store, search for "Chrome," and download that.
Seriously, the default browser sucks.

Thanks for the recommendation. One problem with ics browser + is that it has a slight delay when I want to scroll the page. Is that normal?
The url bar and 4 buttons show up when you scroll up. They don't show up when scrolling down which is the natural way to go if you're reading something.
I actually like this a lot. If I want to open up a new tab or switch or go to a bookmark I just have to scroll up and the options are there. Much better than clicking menu and going from there.
As others have said if you don't like this you can make another browser your default. Opera, Firefox, chrome are all decent alternatives.

The Launcher app is quite sleek and simple... I loved the UI of it and the gestures are too helpful. I just want to share one problem....
i have Galaxy Chat B5330 (4.1 JB OS) with me., n post installing this app, everything else worked like a charm, it was the message icon on the homescreen which is my problem..
Whenever I try opening the messsages using the icon, The launcher crashes at an instant, but when I try opening the messagebox through
App>>Textra( i have disabled the default msg app of my ph.) , the launcher doesnt crash at all.....
Can U pls tell me what could be the problem......???

Nice effort. Congrats on being featured. Gave it a try but, black/dark backgrounds aren't supported because your text is hardcoded to black.
If this is fixed it's usable for me and a considerable option. Otherwise it ain't.

Thanks for the response, yeah I figured that as well, it was only meant for the default app only, so I simply enabled it back, and now I m thoroughly enjoying it...
But I have a suggestion for you as well --
You must try that the icon on the homescreen should point to any alternate app and not just the default android apps...
If that could be done please do so, cz that would definitly help many users like me...!!
Eagerly waiting for such feature...
Gud luck :good: and keep making nice apps like this..! !
Nice!
