[Q] App Switching Gestures?

After using iOS's beta gestures and QNX/WebOS's card switching.. I'm of the opinion that Honeycomb badly needs a way to quickly switch between apps, vs tapping, scrolling and tapping.
Are there any mods/launchers/whatever that enables a quick way to jump between apps?
Thanks.

Pressing the recent apps button is one... but I'm guessing your looking for something else. ;-)
Here's some options:
"Power Strip: Multitasking Dock" (app in market that I had on my phone a while back)
SwipePad seems to be more what you're looking for though. It's in the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.conduction.swipepad.android&feature=search_result
Edit: I digress, SwipePad does not seem to support the Transformer for some reason.

Try Wave Launcher... it works for the TF, but is a paid app unlike SwipePad.

Thanks guys, I'll check them out when I get home.
To help clarify, I'm looking for a way to switch between applications with gestures vs tapping the recent apps list (which, I find organizes apps oddly at times).
On iOS 5 (and in 4.3 beta) there are 4 finger swipes to switch between apps. I have this enabled on my jailbroken iPad and it works wonderfully well.
QNX you swipe from the bezel (can't really be pulled off on the TF, but its an example) to switch easily between apps.
WebOS you swipe up and switch apps.
Ideally, I'd love to see the iOS method as a possibility, it's incredibly quick and smooth. It's about as fast as alt+tab/cmd+tab program switching on desktops. The HC recent apps list is nice visually, but I don't feel like it's a very quick solution.
Anyways, don't take any of this as complaining, I'm just wondering what's out there, and thanks again for the suggestions, I'll check them out.

i was able to get swipepad working on my transformer. I pulled the apk from my phone and sideloaded it on my tablet. It's not optimized for Honeycomb so it doesn't use the entire screen but it worked well without any FCs. Even the Tasking and MorePad addons worked well. Addons available to purchase from market.

i know exactly what ur talking about and unfortunately, none of the apps mentioned do this. they are just like little shortcuts to the app switcher just wrapped around in different UIs. it wont do what u want it to do. im looking for a gesture app that overlays the whole screen and can use 5 fingers to swipe to another app or something of that sort. none of these apps do this.

Yeah, gesture control is great on the Note 10.1, but it should be noted that users need to disable (uncheck) Settings>"Consume multitouch events", otherwise S-Pen input will often be ignored, which is especially noticeable in handwriting applications like S-Note. Disabling this option means that users need to be sure that whatever gesture they decide use to activate events is unique enough not to be accidentally enabled during day-to-day use.

Careful you might get sued

Any way to disable split screen?

Trying to disable the split screen functionality because I constantly accidentally turn whatever window I'm in into a split screen. Hate it.

I'd like to disable it because I never use it and hate the delay when trying to open recents. I haven't found a way yet

It's very annoying

You can disable it with All In One Gesture from the play store

I'm curious if this would disable it. Mutiwindowtrayservice. I'm not feeling bold enough to try it as I like multi window from time to time.

Has anyone found a way to disable this? I've tried the All in One Gesture, but I couldn't get it to work (probably because I have no idea what I'm doing).

I wrote a small application that can either enable/disable MultiWindow or bring back the MultiWindow Quick Toggle. It was primarily written for the Galaxy S6 however it should work on most of the devices that include Samsung’s MultiWindow. You can find “MultiWindow Toggle for Samsung” on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nerd.multiwindowtoggle

Thank You!

thanks you for this app. did you now , after reboot, its again nessasary to disable the multiwindow. can you improve this, so the phone keep the setting after reboot ? thanks !

Thanks for the app

please can you update it for android 6.0.1? It's driving me crazy!!

Didn't know this was an issue for you all. You should be able to just go to settings, hit the search button at the top and search for split screen. It will take you right to the setting to disable it.

Free in the App store:
Multiwindow Disabler. Disables at boot (effective ~20 seconds after boot) and when run.

Screenshot app with no UI?

Looking for a screenshot app that has no UI. I had one before, but can't recall the name. Long story short, my bf has a phone with a wonky home button (Samsung) and the native screenshot method won't work. I want to use such an app as a trigger paired with either Tasker or Xposed Additions, to map 'launching' the app to a long-press of one of his nav buttons, thus taking a screenshot through long-press of a single button. My ROM allows a screenshot option in the notification panel, but his ROM (Optimized CM12.1) doesn't have this, and aside from this small missing feature the ROM is fantastic. He also doesn't want to use gestures as a trigger. GravityBox breaks touchscreen functionality, so that is also out of the question. The app I used before did not create a notification icon, so this would be great if a similar app exists or if you know the name of what I used. Any suggestions?

Question Open new Tab in Firefox using Gesture in One Hand Operation+

As you may know, the Good Lock labs One Hand Operation+ allows user defined gestures to do all kinds of things, ie. Shortcuts
As I use Firefox on the phone by default, would anyone know if there is a key-combination or other method to use OHO+ Gesture to open a new tab in Firefox?

You could try with Bixby Routine + touch macro maybe. Then attach it to a button action

Use Activity Launcher to create a shortcut for opening a new rab (unfortunately I don't use Firefox so can't say which is that one, you just need to search through the available Activities). Use OHO+ to launch that shortcut.
You could also use OHO+ for opening Firefox (open app), isn't that enough?

The solution was "Home Screen Shortcuts" and one of these is Firefox:New Tab
