Currently there is no function assigned to double-tapping the Recent Apps button. It would be nice for it to bring up the last active app, just like Alt-Tab in Windows.
Is there a way to achieve this?
Thanks,
Tom

I'm sure something could be created, but it would depend upon a dev. I had this function on my G3 using G3tweaksbox, but that was an xposed module.

Is there any way to turn off multiwindow, as it is set to longpress recents and creates a delay when trying to go to recents because of it.
To turn off multiwindow you mist add the toggle. You will need an sqlit editor and just like adding MobileData add MultiWindow

Can I use an sqlit editor without root?

You sure? I could imagine that if a double tap was required then there might be a delay while the phone waits to see if the user wants to tap again, but for a long press vs short press? Surely when the user taps the recents button there's no need for the phone to delay further?

Yeah, I think you're right. I turned off multi window and I don't see a difference.

I've heard that delay is a lollipop issue. I hate it too.
Hello, I currently have a Google Pixel and would like to disable the Multi-Window (Split Screen) feature. I am rooted so I can edit the build.prop/other system files if needed. I have tried to find an answer on how to do this but have been unsuccessful.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!
First, I am sorry I do not have an answer.
I am curious to the issue your having with the split screen.
It's not something that automatically happens. The split screen has to be engaged from the recent apps window by a long press of one of the apps and selecting the second app. It is easily undone by dragging the black bar in the middle to either the top or bottom of the screen.

The reason I am wanting to disable this feature is because I am using an "App Locker" and it is very easy to bypass the app locker by going into multi-window mode and disabling it by making small movements.
If there would be a foolproof app locker I would be willing to try that instead of this, however I have tried several and several working together at the same time but I can always bypass them by using the multi window feature.

You can try an app call "Custom Navigation Bar"

Well it's actually not a perfect solution but I just disabled the "tabs" button and without you can't do split screen! Thanks!

Many Years later, I'm now facing the same problem. Did you find a way to disable multi-window?
How many of you have tried out the new accessibility button on android pie? Once enabled, it adds a new button on the navigation bar by using which you can get access to a few shortcuts which are really awesome and much needed (See the screenshot below).
Steps to enable:
Settings>Accessibility>Accessibility menu>Enable "Use Service".
Try it, if you haven't already.
Its awesome

It is indeed. We no longer need to keep pressing the power button eveey time. It's definitely a welcome move by Google
Very good idea buuuuuuut.
Look what happens if you use a large font and display like I have to. Totally missed the point of it!!!!!
Back then, on my Nexus 5, I used Gravitybox via Xposed.
The most liked features have been the display of the actual network speed (DL/UL rates in kb/s) and the immersive display (fullscreen, no black bars top and bottom even for apps not made for it).
I'd like to get this back on my Pixel 3, but how?
Root & Magisk possible.
Thank you for ideas!

If you're pixel is from Google, then you can root it. But there's only an unofficial Xposed that will work. I'm not sure if that supports gravitybox.

well, it is rooted with Magisk, but the Xposed you mentioned is beta unstable and does not yet support Gravitybox. Understable, with Gravitybox being a conglomerate of a whole lot of different mods.
I was wondering, if there are other possibilities to be explored. I am really wondering why there is no Magisk Module for the DL/UL speed in the status bar already - do other users not desire this or is it commonly fulfilled already, how?
The immersive display on the Pixel 3 is sort of a regress, - quite often i only see a contextually unused bar where the menu keys are.
Well, even chrome shows a white bar there, without using the area for website content display.
Did I miss some setting to toggle it?
@Tulsadiver 's mod in the themes section does it. It is also available on DU custom rom.

You can use Tasker to do this. Just a matter of creating a task for immersive mode in tasker and then run the task. Also, you can create a task to turn immersive mode off and run that if you want it off. Easiest way though is to create both tasks and then add a widget to both of them on you home screen. Then just touch one widget to turn immersive mode on and touch the other to turn it off. Another option is to create a profile that will start immersive mode when you start one of the apps in the profile, such as your browser. Then, when you quit using the app, it reverts back to immersive mode off. Whatever the case, it works great. If you want to try it, I can help you with it. They are really pretty simple tasks to set up. Are you familiar with Tasker?
so far the Edxposed for me works well on my pixel 3 with these modules:
App Locale 2
Google Mpas SDK Drift Fix for China
GravityBox[P] beta 5: network speed indicator and immersive mode work great
Lataclysm
XprivacyLua
Should be more workable modules

Funny thing - i purchased Tasker, but never used it. So no, I am not familiar with Tasker and would appreciate your help.

Open Tasker and touch the tasks tab at the top. Then, at the bottom right you'll see a plus symbol. Touch it and a small window for naming the task will open. Name it whatever you choose. In the next window, touch the plus at the bottom and then select code. Then select run shell. Then, where it says command, you simply type or copy and paste the code I give you. On that same page you'll see a line that says use root. Put a check mark in the box next to it and then use the back arrow at the top left to go back. This is the code you'll use in the command box.
This one is for turning immersive mode on.
Code:
settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
This one is for turning off immersive mode.
Code:
settings put global policy_control immersive.full=
Create two tasks in the manner I mentioned, one task for immersive on and another for turning it off.
When you back out of the window where you typed the command, it takes you to the task edit window. At the bottom left you'll see a play button you can use to test the task. Touch it and, it'll turn on or off, depending of course which task it is you're in.
You can use that button to turn immersive mode on or off or you can add a Tasker widget for each task on your home screen. Then it's just a matter of touching them to turn it on and off. Also, if you prefer, you can add buttons for them in the quick settings you see when you drag down the status bar. Just open the quick settings, touch the edit button and add the Tasker buttons there. There are three of them, add two and assign the tasks to them.
Hello,
I don't know if you will be able to help me because I have the impression that the factory rom has some gaps.
My Dragon Blaze game launches in the background upon startup / restart. Yet I have checked many times and no applications have an automatic launch. In addition to that, I am unable to close the app when I press the Recent key. It remains locked with the padlock. If anyone can help me that would be nice.
I added 2 photos.
Thanks you.

1. What are you using to check autostart? Is it a built in feature? It can be problematic to limit what autostarts on some Android ROMs.
2. Apps with padlock will stay in recents list, that's a feature. Try to hold/swipe from recent menu, should be possible to unlock it.
It autostarts because it is locked. You can try long-press on the app icon while in Recents and tap on Unlock or something like that.
Thank you, I have to find a solution. When I long-press on the app icon while in Recent, I scroll to the down for unlock/lock the app.
But I don't know why the app automatically auto-start and lock at the restart.
