the lock icon when swipping down recent app preview

I noticed when I swipe down on the recent icon thingy a lock will appear on the top right hand side of it. What is that and what does it do?
Locking an app prevents it to be killed when u tap the trash (close all apps) icon.
Weird I don't have that option it seems convenient xD Did you have to enable it somewhere or was it like that by default?
You only have to tap on the app and pull it down, and the lock icon will appear.

it kepps that app protected without being killed by the battery manager.
its useful sometimes, bt most of the cases its not working well, those app protected may get killed based on remaing RAM

The padlock icon remains absent when using this technique on Nougat 7.1.2. Does anyone have any other suggestions to make the padlock appear on individual apps in the recent tasks screen?

One Hand mode shortcut

Hi
I want to create a shortcut for one hand mode (3x home button) so that it is an action like "back" on the navigation bar so that I can put it in my swiftly switch pro menu and access one hand mode with a single action instead of pressing the home button 3x.
Any ideas how to do that? (I just switched from iPhone to Android and am a newbie)
Regards

Hi man. I'm from Russia, firmware may differ. But I have a choice: a jesture or a 3-push of a button. I prefer jesture.
To make it work you should swype diagonally from edge of screen (down and right edge). Also, if you hold a bit longer, you can change the size of the screen (bigger / less). See "One-handed mode Galaxy s8" on YouTube
It is completely legitimate to make a shortcut button or icon to one hand mode instead of thosr cumbersome gestures.
Here is how to do it :
Simply run this terminal command from any method or script '
am startservice -n com.sec.android.easyonehand/.EasyOneHandService
This works on the galaxy s5. This rune the service to activate the one hand mode.

There is, at least according to my intense research and my logic, no way to open directly an app in pop-up mode. Indeed even Samsung doesn't have a shortcut for this, at least not at my knowledge.
But, it is possible to launch the multi window launcher and then launch an app from here in terminal with root :
am startservice com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService/.MultiWindowTrayService
This command is only for the launcher. Normally there should also be a terminal command to put the currently on-screen app in pop-up, just like the slide from corner gesture.

Yes and no, what I mean is that the app is not directly launched in pop-up because you need the extra step of opening the side launcher.
One way is as I did, to replace the home button with the side launcher (1 tap = side launcher, 2 taps = home screen) , it is possible with Nova Launcher.
What would be equally perfect is to find a way to open the app directly in pop-up with an activity on the home screen or, once the app is launched thanks to Tasker for example force the app to go in pop-up automatically. It must be possible because the side corner swipe to put the app in pop-up is simply an activity or service or some thing of some sort, but I haven't manage to find the command line.

The thing is i am on android pie so i dont have the multi window "launcher" the way i can open a app in pop-up window is either thru swiping from the edge of the screen or going into the recents apps and clicking the app icon and clicking open in pop-up mode

On this android version it is easier because there are root apps in Play store or in Xposed to manage this, isn't there? I think a saw few apps claiming to manage multiwindow for this version.

Issues with stock launcher and swipe up from home

Anyone else who is using the stock launcher experiencing this (already submitted issue)?
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...-not-working-properly-when-in-an-app.1020737/
1. Have "Back, Home - swipe up on the home button -" activated in the "navigation bar & gestures" settings of the device.
2. Open any app on the device
3. Swipe up on home button or on the right side of the Pill navigation bar in order to access recent apps. In short, try accessing the recent apps screen by swiping up fast.
4. Observe that it doesn't work and after swiping a second time, it takes you instantly on the home screen without accessing the "recents apps" screen

Happens to me randomly with stock launcher set as default. With Nova as default it seems to be resolved.

Navigation gesture recent apps bug

Do you guys experience this? I am using full screen gestures on 3.1. If I immediately try to open recent apps after closing any app it doesn't register my swipe up and hold . I have to swipe twice to open recent apps sometimes it takes three swipes. Is there anyway I can fix this please.

Works fine on my device. Have you changed the resolution?
If you can not get it working, use one of the other navigation options.

Can you find the Apps icon on your home screen?
From Home screen, tap the Apps icon,
Tap and hold an app which you want to add to home screen,
Drag the app to the desired home screen position then release.

On your home screen, tap the Apps icon or swipe up in order to show all apps.
Then select an app.
