I've been searching for an app that would cycle between a number of applications, but I can't seem to find one, or I'm not searching with the right key words.
The functionality I'm looking for is to be able to display a list of applications (like,a weather app, a specific web page, a clock app, local traffic app, email app, facebook app, etc) and select a number of seconds to display each and then rotate to the next app. Thought is to have that rotating app running on my tablet sitting on my desktop.
Is there such an app around?
Thanks!
did you find anything yet?
Sounds more like a windows 7 thing. Like live tiles?

Hello, has anyone seen an TTS app that runs in the background, where you can long press or open a menu option to speak whatever is on your screen. Would also like one that will read all my gReader feeds, one after another. The only thing I have been able to find is PDF or cut and past. Maybe I'm being too wishful.

I used a rom on my Transformer TF101 that had this kinda ported but I don't see it anywhere else.
Basically it is an app that just pops up with a "folder" of assigned icons. Similar to like an ALT-TAB app but displays custom apps vs recent apps.
The Samsung devices have this in the middle of the bottom tablet-mode status mode. I've been looking for even a simple app that I would map to a softkey... but I just can find anything.
Is there anything that can popular a window of apps that can be mapped to a button or can someone with some serious skills create an app that works similar to the Samsung Quick App panel? It was super handy to go between apps without going back to the launcher.
I know you could basically launch everything once and use the built in taskmanager to flip back and forth, but it doesn't solve launching new apps quickly.

Ok guys I've looked everywhere but found nothing. I am looking for an app that simply sorts home screens apps in some order. I don't want one that makes folders. I want to just be able to use the app to sort every now and then and just close it afterwards. Thanks

I am confused I guess. I don't understand exactly what you are looking for. You want an app to organize your apps on your home screen? Can't you just just organize them how you want them on your home screen? Maybe I don't understand exactly what you are looking for.

I'm lost in your question? Srry

Action Launcher gives an alphabetical list similar to windows phone.
If I understand correctly, you want an equivelant to the windows shortcut for "sort by name/type/date modified" for your homescreen, or for your appdrawer.
I echo the thoughts of others in asking why. It's not like your homescreen can accumulate dozens of apps the same way a desktop can pick up dozens of shortcuts, or that they are difficult to get rid of or sort yourself. Folders work fine... also, there are widgets such as Glovebox and CircleLauncher which will allow you to create live groups of self-hiding icons.
but Android is an open OS, so the simple answer is, if there's something you want that doesn't exist, just build it yourself. this, however, seems to be something that would be at the launcher level, not the level of a widget or app.
Exactly. But for people like me who hate using app drawer I think there should be some kind of stock setting

i am looking for a floating dialer widget w/contacts AND DTMF (touchtone) support.
the only thing that is close to what i am looking for is Floating apps. but it doesn't support touchtone, and annoyingly, it's not a standalone app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lwi.android.flappsfull
i've also tried using Floating banners to create a widget with a dialer widget, but sizing of the widget gets really strange and unusable, and none i tried suppots touchtone.
what i want to be able to pull off is, if i am looking at a meeting with a call bridge, while i am in the calendar app;
1. open up the floating dialer;
2. open up and call the bridge number from contacts; (in my invites that i get, only an internal IP phone numbers are specified, so short of me memorizing the number, i'd need the floating app to pull up the contacts list. alternatively, it could support speed dial from the widget)
3. punch in the bridge code in the floating app, so i can still see the numbers in the calendar app in the background.
does a such app exist?
or is there a calendar/appointment app that can handle something like this?

There is a small app for Xperia phones called 'small phone' which is just a floating dialer. Not sure if there is a small apps port for your device, but if there is, you may want to check it out

does the Xperia 'small phone' support DTMF?
You might want to try a combination of popup widget and simple dialer widget. Popup widget allows you to have any widget as a popup.
Or PA halo might work for you.

confused about that. is that a rom or an app???
alternatively, what would work for me is a floating 'event details' widget.
i am seeing a bunch of floating calendars, but what i need to see is the event details in a floating widget.
anybody seen anything like it?
Hi
I was trying to find an app that can launch any app like BTSport into a split screen so that I can watch a live stream in my VR headset (without 3D), but I cannot see anywhere that does it. I know I can use k0di and change the output to split screen with a few changes, but it would be good to do this for other Apps. I have the Moto X Pure Style that I am trying to do this on. I was event trying to get a split screen or 3D launcher, but nothing shows up.
I'm not sure if Daydream will do this with the BTSport app, but is not compatible with my phone and haven't tried getting from other locations. I have tried a few from the playstore and none of them allow BTSport to open
Hope you can help.
Thanks in advance
There is an app called parallel windows that might be helpful, search XDA, it on here somewhere.
