http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.esdmobile.taskswitcher
itching thumb: Finally card view just like WebOS.

Multitasking lite: it has iPhone app switching animations pretty just needs card view.

Anyone with CM6 or above replace the long click home..
Finally!!
doesnt work with home replacements
only on stock froyo launcher
if you have CM RC3 you can change the long press on home and DONE you have it as your long press home button! and then set which ever launcher you like
I hope this app gets popular. It has amazing potential and will be great if lots of people start using it (like Launcher Pro) It's definitely great with Cyanogen Mod using the long press home replacement!
Can't wait to see some coverflow and other animations
This has the potential to be pretty great it just needs a better way to close apps (swipe up palm OS style maybe? or just an X in the corner). I get pages of recent apps thats counter productive sometimes, but pretty cool start

when you have visual task switcher open, you can press menu and get to settings, where you can choose what home app to launch, as well as whether to bind the app to the home key or search key (long press)
Thank you! This is fantastic when configured to replace the long-press home task switcher.
Love it although I'd love the ability to pin apps to the screen(kinda like the task bar in windows 7) so they appear whether they are open or not. Preferably with some way of distinguishing an open task from a non open one.

Why do you say that? it works great with launcherpro.
You open the app, then press menu setting, and set launcherpro as home.
The i mapped a gesture of my app drawer (middle icon) to swipe for visual tasker and all done.
That's smart as hell, I just replaced the home function using Cyan 6 but I'm gonna set that up as well...
I hope in future updates it allows long press to just press an X and close an app (or remove from the list) I don't like the whole screen with the forcestop button

Works fine for me..
Home: Launcher Pro Plus; Long Search: Power Strip; Long Home: Visual Task Manager
on Android 2.2, N1
btw here's the dev site http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...al-task-switcher-now-available-on-the-market/
Awesome!!! I am using it right now.
Thanks for sharing!
Nice program!
Have pretty much covered all my multi-tasking bases now heh
Home key: Launcher Pro
Long press Home key: Visual Task Switcher
Long press Search key: QuickDesk
Seems useless for those of us with Enom, since we don't have the control for long press home.
Either I choose long search, which cuts my easy access to Voice Search, or I choose short home, which makes everything else involving the home button really awkward. Poor implementation.

I'm pretty sure the developer can't do anything about that, since apps don't have access to long press home at all.
great app! thanks!!

I guess you are using CM6 since you can change long press home?

Your assumption is correct. Currently on the 2408 nightly.
I wish the preview cards were a little bit bigger. Either that, or if the previews had a slightly higher resolution? Other than that, it's pretty cool!
I wish there was an option to force the preview cards smaller, or even better, icons only. Going from 15 recent apps (CM6) at once to 9 is a downer.
Also, for some reason new items sometimes randomly pop up on the left side, and sometimes on the right side, so you have to scroll back and forth. That really slows down app switching. And sometimes, apps like Voice don't even show up at all for some reason, which make me waste even more time.
Great looking app and great idea, but had to uninstall as it was actually slowing down alt-tabbing.
- Disabling left/right scrolling (force 1 screen),
- Allowing an option for icon-only view,
- And fixing the bug that some apps don't show up will make me reinstall.
Hi,
Every time i am installing a new app im searching for it in the "all apps" screen.
This screen holds a very long list of apps, sorted alphabeticly.
I was wondering if there is a way to see the apps sorter otherwise (by last installed for example).
The reason is because i want to add those apps to the main screen, and currently it is very uncomfortable.
Thanks!
Couple of ways, hit the app drawer button, then long press the app and drag it onto the home screen you want it on.
Long press on the home screen you want it on then select shortcut then applications then select the app. If you are adding a widget change procedure accordingly.
Hi, Thanks for the answer, but i didnt mean how do i add app to the desktop
i asked - is there a fast and comfrotble way to find last installed apps.
The only way i came to is by clicking search button when im in apps drawer.
Is there a way to sort the apps drawer? maybe an app that does it?
I am one of those people that appreciate minimalism, so I would like to have a completely empty homescreen with no icons whatsoever. But I would like to be able to open the app drawer (A third party app drawer downloaded from the GP Store called Quad Drawer) simply by pressing the home button on my AT&T Galaxy S3. I have Cyanogenmod 10.2, and in system settings it does allow a few unique actions to be set for the home button, but none that allow the launching of a specific app (Quad Drawer). I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to make the phone allow me to set a specific app to launch when a hardware key is pressed.
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
I am also one of those people who wants to have no icons on homescreen )
Try this solution:
- install External Keyboard Helper https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apedroid.hwkeyboardhelperdemo
- in advanced settings, set application shortcut (A0) to the specific app (Quad Drawer)
- in advanced settings, remap your key to 0x2410 (= aplication registered under A0)
- HOME button is a special key, it is difficult (probably impossible) to remap it using External Keyboard Helper. If you really want to remap it completely, you need to edit keylayouts in /system/usr/keylayout Editing keylayouts, you can change the behaviour of the HOME button to something else, for example CALL Then you can remap this new CALL button to 0x2410 using External Keyboard Helper.

is there a way to do so without making custom image
just look for apps like Tasker, MacroDroid, Automate, ...
edit: btw you can select the default launcher from Settings - Apps - Configure apps - Home App
Tasker would be a good option...

is there any other method to do so??
in shell script you can watch the keys in a loop (toolbox getevent -il) and perform an action on event (am start -n <pkgname>)
If possible, how would I go about remapping the capacitive buttons? I would like the recent apps button to open up a custom app instead of opening the recents. There are all sorts of new and better recent app switchers being released that look interesting and wanted to replace the stock app switcher action to open up one of these instead.

From my understanding, this is not available unless you are rooted, and even then it is up to the ROM.
