The screenshot below is a demonstration of what I'd like to achieve, except for the fact that the app is actually in a floating window. Basically I want to "embed" an app into a widget so I can use it like I normally do but from my homescreen.
There are apps like Widgetify that can do this but for a browser (embed a fully usable webpage on your home screen). Does anyone know of any possible way I could do this but for an app?

I am aware that task killers are generally not a good idea, but is there any way of creating a shortcut or widget that, when clicked, kills a specific app?
The reason I want this is for Skype - I want to be able to exit Skype, but without using the "sign out" function in the Skype app (as then you don't get automatically signed back in next time you run it).
(I am using ADW.Launcher, but a general shortcut or widget solution would work with any launcher)
Hi all, I've noticed that with the stock browser comes an add-on named Quick Lookup. When you highlight a word in a web page, one of the options that comes up is an icon of a Magnifying glass which takes you to this app. It gives you a choice of bringing up a wikipedia article, definition or translation of that word.
Now, even after you exit the browser you can still access this app from the recently opened apps tray. But once it's gone from there, there is no way to access it other than through the browser.
What I'm wondering is, is there any way to get this app into the app drawer? I would really love to be able to use Quick Lookup as a standalone app, as I often want to quickly lookup a definition of a word etc.
This APK is under /system/app like all the other system apps.
Any help would be appreciated!

Is there any app better than the Multitasking Pro by OryonCorp? I am using the free version. It is quite good and I like the ability to stack Windows on top of each other rather than the Note Pro's split screens. The problem is that in this app, I have to use apps developed by this company. I prefer to be able to use more feature-rich apps that are already installed on my device. Is there an app that allows usage of existing apps installed on the device and allow the users to stack/cascade the windows partly on top of each other?

Pen window? And by rooting your device you can enable any app you want for pen window.
Thanks but I have no plan to root it for the time being.

The there is also this Floating Windows Shortcuts app which with you can make shortcuts that opens directly to pen window. I use this on both my devices, Note 3 and NP 12.2 and I think it's awesome. With launcher like Nova you can make app icon to open app on press, and open in floating window on swipe. That's how I use it.
Then there is this MP-Pen App Enabler. This app edits apk's AndroidManifest.xml from installed apps on your device and thus adds multi window / pen window features. Then removes old version and installs this modded to your device. Only thing here is you can't update those apps through play store anymore since MW-Pen App Enabler need to sign those apps again, with different signature than original apk of course.
Hi guys,
These apps i am about to introduce will change your phone experience for the better not just our phone for that matter but any Android phone.
1. Immersive Mode Manager(Paid)
This app is a must for every Amoled screen to protect your phone from future screen burn, the other thing is you get to enjoy the full screen experience with every app on your phone. I install this app on all of my Android devices.
I have created a thread long ago doing it manually but i think it's too much of work for people who want an app for that, if you want a manual free alternative check it out.
2. Fluid Navigation Gestures(Free/Pro Features)
This is my second go to app which i was introduced to recently. I will dare to say IMPO that it's the best custom gesture navigation app on Android currently.
By the way our Asus gesture navigation is not bad but i feel it's not polished yet. Also by using Fluid Navigation Gestures we can disable the navigation bar in the keyboard so that is a plus. So go ahead and give it a try.
3. JINA: App Drawer, Sidebar & Folder Organizer(Free)
This app is also a recent discovery and i highly recommend it. What the stock rom or custom rom for that matter lacks to date is the ability to access your apps form any app without going back to the Home launcher to access the drawer. With this app you can achieve that and then some more. The only downside of this app is that it's not noob friendly it will take you a lot of time to figure out all the features it has. The best thing about it you can customize every aspect of it and it's free.
4. Glimpse Notifications, Always On Edge - Edge Lighting or Glance Plus(Free/ Free / Free)
So to my surprise the ROG phone doesn't wake the device when you receive notifications like my previous HTC phone, but don't fret because here where Glimpse Notifications solves the problem that is if you just want the screen to simply light up. If you want more customization then the other two apps are great to check out.
5. Blokada(Free)
You must have an Ad blocker on the list if you are unrooted and definitely one of the best open source and free app out there is this one.
6. Popup Widget 3(Paid)
Now this app will get your phone setup to another level, instead of cluttering your homescreen with widgets how about hiding them and calling them when needed only either through your home launcher gestures or a shortcut sidebar ... . Pretty cool right!. Now this isn't a must have app but i had to mention it because it's absolutely amazing. I have an old video featuring it check it out.
-------
I will keep updating this thread once other apps are discovered or suggested.

*Launcher used: Nova Launcher
*Icon Pack: Pixel Icon Pack
Here is an updated video to showcase everything
Great List ! Much appreciated !
Thanks
Cool "A Liquid Cloud" live wallpaper. I bought the paid version to support the developer, but the free version is great.
Swiftkey Keyboard
Textra SMS
Firefox browser
I used to use a third party camera, but I like the default camera and love playing with Google Lens
I used to use Apex launcher, but they have gone downhill lately forcing bloatware on you. I might stick with the default. I like the default theme.
I have installed Immersive Mode Manager! Very cool!
is there any app or setting mod that allows can turn the RGB /aura lighting into a visualizer for audio/media playback ? like the audio visualizer chroma app available for razer chroma windows on windows platform ?

Sorry double post!
For nothing
I have one app with a stoopit name that doesn't mean anything related to its' function.
It won't take to conventional rename/edit name.
It won't take to quick shortcut.
Any other ways or ideas to change it.?
It's a rooted HTC u11 with LSPosed installed running stock AOS9.
Try QuickShortcutMaker what is a simple and reliable program for quickly creating shortcuts on the home screen of your Android mobile device . In a few steps you will change not only the name of your applications on the screen, but also their icon – this is an ideal solution if you need to make some changes to your phone so that it does not look the same.

Create shortcuts quickly and launch your favorite actions quickly.

thanks. tried it. I want to change the name in the app drawer as this app is never on my home screen.
Would you like to contact the developer of the app for help about your issue?
sure. I'll give that a go. But I suspect it's an app issue of the one I want to change, coz most of the other apps I can edit the name within the AOS, in the drawer or not.
