It looks great. Try it now

It is quite good. One thing I would prefer if it minimized to the start button itself (the 4 square icon thing) rather than as a bottom taskbar on top of my dock and then I minimize it to the button. What I said in my review.

[APP][ICS-JB4.x]|How to create a floating app switcher

How to create a floating app switcher.
If you want to do one-click-switch among apps, a floating app switcher, as shown in Fig.1, may help you a lot. The switcher window is floating on top of any running app or home-screen, and it can be hidden or show at your will. This post tells you one easy way to create such a floating widget.

Fig 1.
1. Prerequisite:
1.1. install "Elixir 2" and "Elixir widget"
1.2. install "Widget Window"
1.3. install "Tasker"
All can be found in google.play.
2. Build Procedure:
2.1. Create a Elixir 5X1 widget
click an X icon, select "recent application" and then app index (from 1 to 9)
repeat the above step for every X icon
adjust label, icon images, background transparency as your like
name it, for example, as "app_switcher"
create the widget.
Instead of "recent app", you can choose your favourite apps as action items.
2.2. Create a Widget Window
Run "Widget Window"
click menu button and then select "New Window"
select "Elixir 5X1" as widget type
click "Restore Button"
choose "app_switcher"
click "Create" button
Now you would be back in "Widget Window"
Name the window, for example, as win_app_switcher
resize and relocate the window as your like
2.3. Create a Tasker task to show/hide the window
Run Tasker
create a task, for example, "aswitch"
switch on/off the window is down through tasker-plug-in "Widget Window"
Fig 2 gives more detail of the task
Fig. 2
2.4. Create a task shortcut for "aswitch" on desktop, or create such a button in a Elixir widget (or widgetsoid widget) in notification area, as shown in Fig 3.
Now, you can click the "aswitch" button to toggle the floating app switcher.
Nice! I'll try this, but for now, gmd has gestures to switch from app to app and to see the last apps and chose one

You can also use "quick launch" to set a keyboard shortcut to the tasker task and therefore toggle it on and off with search + w for example.

[Nougat][7.0][NRD90M] Custom navigation bar shortcuts and icons with Navbar Tuner

XDA member @AL_IRAQI has shared a pretty awesome mod with the community involving the modding of SystemUI.APK to reveal some unreleased hidden options including a nice navigation bar customiser.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/mod-navbar-tuner-android-nougat-t3446791
Flashing the relevant modded SystemUI zip from the thread there (I compared the Nexus 9 LTE and Wifi versions of SystemUI.apk and they are identical) to an UNENCRYPTED Nexus 9 (on NRD90M) will reveal the hidden customiser in System UI Tuner.
Among other things, this allows for custom shortcuts to be added to the navigation bar.
One of the options is to add keycodes - some of which are, in fact, useful shortcuts. In addition to the more self-evident shortcuts such as a clipboard, increase brightness, People, Calendar, Camera & Calculator (the last two of which don't seem to work at the moment), there are a few less obvious ones which are pretty handy.
Example setup:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Left three: Keycode - Call (long press opens up voice search automatically), Keycode - Envelope (opens Gmail automatically), Clipboard.
Right three: Keycode - Explorer (opens Chrome automatically), Keycode - Music (opens Play Music automatically), Keycode - Sleep or Power (opens power button automatically i.e. single tap = screen off/sleep).
When we add the keycodes we are prompted to add an image for the shortcut as well.
I downloaded the app Material Icons and exported a few icons (hdpi) but you can use any (size matters).
In the below screenshot you can also see a few of the other working shortcuts - People, Calendar, Increase Brightness, and Menu
Zip file with the above icons - http://goo.gl/dkEkQt
Caveat - The Navbar tuner software in 7.0 is a bit buggy, it saves the shortcuts and icons OK, but after every reboot it is necessary to go back into the tuner and change something (anything) in order for the custom shortcuts to show up again. Also, certain keycodes don't seem to work, including Camera and Calculator.
There are probably a few other handy keycodes, if anyone finds any more of the less obvious ones, feel free to post them!
Wanted to try this out, so I made a flashable zip for N4F26X:
app.box<dot>com/s/hh6ykur5mszdpjifp0oozfdghf1mgk23
Recently made a new account, so I'm not able to post links ... Replace the <dot> with a period.
I wish if it possible to bring the circle battery mod to the Asop rom?

[NO ROOT] No navbar | Pie controls - Free your screen and prevent burn-ins

Don't you hate the navbar?
Isn't it way to big and destroys look of the beautiful big screen?
And what about burn-ins?
There's a simple solution.
Completely hide the navbar and use PIE instead.
And it even makes one hand usage easier. Especially for S8+.
You no longer have to try to reach the statusbar or the back or recents button - doesn't matter on which hand you hold the phone.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Info:
This is a no-root solution. This won't trip knox nor will you loose your phones guarantee.
Anyway, all these steps are described as is and everything you do is on your own risk.
Don't blame me if anything goes wrong. But there isn't anything risky at all, so you should be safe.
Step-by-step guide:
Go to PlayStore and download Shortcutter Quick Settings and Pie Control
Go into Android settings and select developer settings at the very bottom (if you don't have it, do the steps described here)
Activate USB-Debugging
Make sure ADB and the needed drivers are installed on your computer. If not, do the 15 seconds installation described here.
Connect your phone to your computer and approve/allow all dialogs coming up on your phone.
Open CMD on your computer and write in the following 'adb shell pm grant com.leedroid.shortcutter android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS' (without asterics)
Wait few seconds. Then you can disconnect your phone again from your computer.
Open the app "Pie Control" you installed before on your phone and select 'Side'.
Activate the option 'ENABLE SIDE AREA' on the top using the slider
Click on the 'Level 1' tab and remove all entries there using the recycle bin icon.
Click on the first entry on Button 1, 2 and 3 and add the navigation buttons ('Tools' > 'Home' / 'Back' / 'Recent apps')
You should now be able to slide from both edges of the screen and the PIE controls with the three important buttons ('Home' / 'Back' / 'Recent apps') should come up
(You might want to change the settings on the 'Level 2' tab as well. I set them to 'Volume control', 'Camera', and 'Notification', which brings up the notification bar)
Next we need to get rid of the navigation bar.
Open the app "Shortcutter Quick Settings" you installed before on your phone and activate the very first option 'Security settings'.
Swipe right and activate "Immersive" (you might deactivate all the others if you don't need them).
Swipe down the status/notification bar with two fingers so that the quick setting tiles come up.
Tap on the three dots on the top right and select the first option.
Drag&drop the 'Immersive' tile from the bottom to the top setting tiles.
Tap on Done on the top right.
Now click on the 'Immersive' tile and then select the last option 'NO NAV'.
We're done!
Here some pictures how some apps look like after these steps and how PIE looks like.
Enjoy!
there's another way more simple and no root required ,download GMD immersive from playstore

Explore MIUI 12 Recents Screen

Revamped with Full screen gestures, MIUI 12 tries to make Recents screen more handy. Now with Mi Note 10 in hand, I’ll share with you some of its usability.
Tap or swipe to open Recents screen
MIUI 12 supports 2 ways of system navigation, namely, Buttons mode and Full screen gestures mode.
Visit “Additional settings” > “Full screen display”, and the user can choose his or her preferable way to open Recents screen. Under Button mode, the user can tap the square button on the bottom of the screen to open the recent apps overview.
While under Full screen gestures mode, Recents screen will be open by swiping from the bottom. If you feel the full screen indicator irritating, you can also choose to hide it.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Go to Manage apps through Recents screen
Recents screen in MIUI also provides a shortcut to Cleaner, Security scan, Deep clean and Manage apps. Tap to enter Manage apps, and you’ll have a clear view about how many apps you have on your phone. You can also uninstall apps or enable dual apps in bulk.
Widgets of Recents screen
Long press the app window in Recents screen, and you will find 4 widgets come out. From top to bottom, I’ll walk you through the four options.
The first option can be used to lock important apps so that they remain open even when you tap the “Clear all apps” button.
The second is for splitting screen, serving your multitasking needs.
With the third option, you can enable the floating window of the current app, a more flexible way to multitask.
The last option can be used to open App info, which is useful when you wish to change app permissions, app notifications, and app data usage directly here.
