The app, App Switcher 2 From N For All, brings the feature to double tap the recent apps to switch to the previous app you have used making it easier for you to multitask and constantly work with two apps like texting someone while using Facebook

im going crazy.. I know there was an app posted here at xda a while ago allowing you to draw a custom shape on the home screen to launch an app phone call.. I google it, search the forums and the main site.. but with no luck. anyone know where i can get a hold of this great app?
I think its called open gesture.
Hope that helps

There are two apps that come to mind
Gesture search (free app) is an app from google I believe that uses gestures (I know it will recoginze letters not sure about numbers or shapes though shapes would be useless based on what this app is designed to do) to search through your contacts, installed apps, and bookmarks.
An example of how it works:
Lets say I want to launch handcent
Launch Gesture Search
I use my finger to draw a 'h'
all apps or contacts with an h in them are now displayed
I next draw a 'a'
further refines the list to things with an 'ha' in them
etc
This app can be launched by flicking the phone in a certain manor but I have a difficult time doing this, I recommend using Gesture Bar(free app) in conjunction with this app. It puts an icon in the status bar and when you pull down the status bar, click on the icon it will launch the Gesture Search app.
Sign is an app developed by simply applied. This app lets you assign a gesture (any shape, symbol, etc you can draw) to a contact and then when you draw said assigned gesture on the screen while the widget is active you will either cal or txt the person that gesture is assigned to. It is actually a really cool app, though it is a paid app. The paid version allows unlimited gestures. If you want to try the app out first there is a free version, signlite, that limits you to three gestures.
Anybody know of a home/launcher alternative for android that is JUST an app drawer? When I press the home button I would rather be taken to an alphabetical app drawer. I don't use Widgets and I'd rather not be required to organize icons on home screens. (Don't say anything about iPhone, please)
I don't think there is. In fact I am 99% sure there isn't. Sorry
Hit the thank button if this helped!

MIUI used to be like that... I can't confirm new releases though...its been ages since I ran it.
thanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
There is no only app drawer launcher for a reason. Why would you want it ? xD.
And MIUI has everything except a App Drawer.
SOLUTION
So, I figured out a way to make this happen if anybody is interested.
Target Home Launcher lets you set any app as a home app.

AltDrawer is an app drawer app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154299
Simply use Target Home Launcher to set AltDrawer as the home app.
In my case
To disable widgets, and since kids using only media and games
I will try "AppDrawer (MIUI App Drawer)" app on google play.
I wish there was, but unlike you, I have searched to no avail.
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.

Hi just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this random menu bar that's appeared on my phone? I've closed all applications with es task manager and it's still there. I'm running Jellybeans on a galaxy note 2
If anyone can direct me where to get rid of it would be most appreciated.
Cheers guys!
Do you mean the bar on the side with the icons?
I think the phone has TSF shell launcher, try a launcher like apex or nova

If that doesn't work you can try this app
I had a app popup as the playstore, and it was a spam type popup from an app i installed a long time ago, DOWNLOAD AIRPUSH detector also as a double check if experience any abnormal popups to your GUI . it found the app and i uninstalled it ASAP (it was a workout app)
That popup is not abnormal, it is a feature of the last update. It's called multi-card, and allows you to manage 2 or more applications simultaneously on the screen; if you drag one of the icons on the desktop it opens the corresponding application, and if you drag another will open the new application under the one that is opened before
That's amazing cheers guys! It was properly bothering me becaues it would pop up every now and then and I didn't know why!
Is it possible to add other applications to the selection to use in multi windows?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, for now, the apps supported are only the ones you see
Hey there folks.
I would like to change the double tab of my homebutton.
I know that there are a lot of apps on the market that could do that for me, but I would like to know if there is a way to do so without the need of an app.
I'm on stock rooted 5.1.1 on my N915fy
I love haven Google now launches on a long press but would like, for example get greenify hibernates my apps or my camera launches on a double tab.
I already deactivated that useless s-voice.
So if anyone could help me or get me some info on how to do so, I really would appreciate it.
And sorry for my horrible English skills, but I still learning.

Would really love this as well. Double-tap to open camera would be perfect.
You could use an xposed module called xposed additions to remap certain key functions. Although I've experienced it stopping vibrations for the soft keys
