Story:
I am a proud Desire Z owner and have to say the Vision is amazing with its keyboard. One thing I still hate about day to day tasks is switching between Google Talk and MSN apps. I hate reaching up to the notification bar from the keyboard.
So I wrote an app to solve this problem. I call it QuickSwitch.
By taking advantage of the quick keys on the keyboard, I wrote an app that basically launches other apps. It's configurable which apps you want favourit-ed and how many running apps to show. I also made it mimic alt-tab function by pressing Quick key 1 and comma. This would switch back and forth between apps very quickly.

Questions / Comments
If you want to provide any comments and/or feedback, please post in this thread. New feature requests can be submitted at http://bit.ly/quickswitch-request.
If you could, please add comments and ratings on Market as it can encourage me to develop better stuff!
Thanks!

nice idea, but if your just using it to switch between gtalk and msn why don't you just install ebuddy and run both together?

its configuable to switch between any app.

i like the ability to make the quick keys function like alt and tab. im downloading it right now, will come back with comments
edit:
i think i misunderstood, can this make the quick keys function as alt or shift? i hate the placement of they keys and i hate the quick keys theyre pointless, i like better the keyboard layout on the merge
is there anyway to assign the quick keys the alt or tab function?
aside from that though, its pretty cool app and its fast too. good job

do you mean using TAB to switch versus comma and period key? I can look into making that possible. did I understand you correctly?

so it kinda mimics what happens when you hold the home key?

yes. there's recent running apps as well as favorite apps. its makes toggling apps a lot easier.

no i meant more like a keyboard remapping. i want the two center quick keys to act as either alt or shift

Very cool app! Thanks!!

would this only work on the g2 or would it work on the epic 4g or the droid

I think it should work on the epic 4g and droid. Do those devices have a Quick Key / custom app key?

No it dosnt, but you can remap the keyboard and make the smily face a quick key maybe.
I installed your app on my G2, absolutely love it, i would have paid for it, thats how good.

Thanks! If you could add a rating / comment in the market, that would be appreciated.
How can I make it better? I am adding icon overlays to indicate which ones are Favourites and which ones are Running. Next, I'm thinking about long press running icons to add them as Favourites.

Done. A well earned 5 *'s
As for making it better, I honestly think it is one of those rare gems that comes out the box 100%, its perfect for what it is used for. I like the clean look it has so I would have to see what overlay you use to judge if it will be good. Long pressing an app to add does sound good however.
You get these kind of apps once in a blue and what ends up happening is the dev always thinks that he/she has to improve it and just adds up making it bloated. I like it as is. Here's a great piece of advice; make a version with what you plan to add and put it up as a donate version, feel out the market, then just tidy the code up for this one and sit on it. You do great work.

This is pro. Fantastic app.
How about one quick key for favorites, another for running...thoughts?

Thanks for your feedback. Your suggestion is a good one. I can certainly split it up into two apps.
I am also thinking about how this can be used for devices with no keyboard. Maybe splitting the screen into two halfs - left selects from favourites and right selects from running. Hmm...

I love your app. Idk if it goes into two rows when u got a lot of shortcuts set but would be nice. Thank you for this wonderful app!

The apps panel becomes scrollable once its too wide to fit on the screen.

You can already bring up all your running apps by holding home button, to add a second key would be redundant.

[APP]Launch Now - Google Now shortcut replacement

Launch Now is a Google Now shortcut replacement app which can be launched in the same way as the Google Now app. By swiping upwards from the home button you can launch the app and it will allow you to launch any app that you like. When launched the app prompts the user with a dialog containing customizable apps which can be launched. A possible use case scenario would be if you use Twitter alot you can put your favourite Twitter app in one of the slots and access it at any time by simply swiping up from the home button or the lockscreen. The app is very fast and fluid and is in active development so more is to come soon. I've attached a free test version with 2 app slots that you guys can try out. Enjoy!
Here's the play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simon.LaunchNow
The youtube video shows the functionality pretty good:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XohEHWGrFHI
Just so you know; you can still access Google Now with this app installed, just add it as one of the launch options.
If you have any questions or requests whatsoever I'll be sure to answer them here

I dont think you can advertise paid apps on XDA. I think you have to link to the free version. Not sure though

That's correct. Read the rules before posting, OP, specifically rule 11 in this case.
Also, I wouldn't consider this a Google Now replacement, it's more of an app launcher. Google Now does so much more than just launch apps, or provide shortcuts to apps.

Anyway, can't call it a Google Now replacement, maybe a Google Now shortcut replacement. To be considered a Google Now replacement it needs to be some kind of voice search service.
Anyway, cool idea but I don't think I would pay for this app, specially running a custom ROM such as AOKP which allows users to add shortcuts to the navbar ring, so you can have Google Now and any other app you need/want to on that ring.

I'm working on a free version right now so you guys can test the app out. Shortcut replacement is a really good idea, I'll make sure to use it.

What sort of funcionality do you think would make you (and other people too of course) buy it? Do you think perhaps toggles would be a god idea?

I downloaded and testing right now. Thank you.

Really like this app but are you planning to make the transition from the Launch Now menu to the chosen app smoother? Is it possible to incorporate the transition animation from jb into this? It'd b great to see the selected app come flying in from the top of the screen.
Also, the icon could use some work; it's hard to see it against white backgrounds.

I'll most definitevely try and make a JB animation, I've done it before in my other app so it shouldn't be all that hard. You're right about the icon, I'll make some changes later.

In my opinion, it's missing just the option to add just one app, like Swipe Launcher offers. Other than that it's faster than the other (2) alternatives available.

Not quite the animation I expected but cool nonetheless and also real smooth. It adds some variety into the mix and that's always a good thing.

Performence has been a huge focus during development. I'll create a option to just launch one app, look for it in the next update.

I like, keep going mate

I tried the icon on a white wallpaper and it didn't look to bad at all. The icon you liked isn't avavible in 512x512 which is a requirement for app icons so I can't use that. I added a arrow to the existing icon and it looked pretty good, it'll be in the next version. For now I'm sticking to the animation, it's pretty cool i think.

Like I wrote in my review on the Store: It's fast
Though I purchased all the other alternatives available, I found this to be the fastest. Thanks for the option to launch just one app. Please don't sacrifice the speed in favor of more options.

Keeping my eye on this...

Are you ever going to update the paid version of the app on the Play Store? You do realize version 0.4 is not working, right?
You can't add apps and it FCs all the time. Not to mention the weird code in the menu.

[REQ-CONCEPT] Gesture NavBar inspired by web os.

Hi guys,thinking about my older hp pre 3 (fantastic smartphone and,supreme OS)
I thought of a new control system, inspired by the gesture of webos,i think this concept is very very intuitive,simple,beautifull.and it saves a lot of space in the homescreen.
It's like the new PIE by paranoid,but is more intuitive.
tell me what you think.

I can definitely get this to work if someone is willing to make some graphics. (the white "thing" in the screenshots) I already have something similar working in my ROM so this shouldn't be difficult to achieve. Anyone here good with graphics?

That is freaking sweet! Will thus be available as an install or only for specific ROMs? I'm no Leonardo DA Vinci but I know my way around Photoshop and would be more than happy to do up some graphics if you need. Shoot me a pm and we can figure something out if you don't have someone already.

Great work guys.. Try to make this some kinda flashable zip for people to use.. Amazing work...

Hello XDA friends,
How many apps on Play Store that sync your notes with Google Task? Many!
But since I didn t feel confortable with any of them I decided to make mine, with an alternative Holo UI, that take inspiration from Google Now, Google Keep, and made it more intuitive.
The app is mainly designed to make you feel all the features in your hands, even using a smartphone (tested on my 4.3" Galaxy S2 display) and offer simultaneusly 2 type of navigation: dropdown (useful to skip from a list to another when number of lists is huge) and swype.
This app as stated before lets you sync your current task with Google Task, so everything is synced to every device you got, with your PC and tablet, android, iOS and Windows!
Isn t it great?
Support to Dashclock (4.2), Password, Reminders, Due Date, all your lists are available and you ll never lose a meeting anymore thanks to notification feature (expanded notification for android 4.1+ users).
A touch of color to help you highlight your actions, nice animations and a complete settings menu to customize your app, your sincs, your passwords, your notifications.
You can even count on configurable widgets, with every size support and tons of customizations; and what about shortcuts?
Some screenshot following
And to always feel all under control and ready to use we can use widgets and shortcuts!
Shortcut may be used to open a selected list or to add a nu task in a selected list.. or both!
You can set an illimitate numeber of shortcuts obviously.
Widgets are fully customizable, you can set the order sorting, set if display as checklist or as simple notes, choose if display the content of the notes, the max lines of the title, every widget is fully resizable and got built in 3 buttons to open the list, add a nu task or simply reconfigure the widget.
So said that the word to you, hoping all Google Task users will enjoy!
For any kind of requests, bug tracking, feedbacks I' m here, just shout!
Cheers
Note: there are 2 versions, one for free and one donate that differs from free version for only 2 features: passwords and shortcuts.
You can use free version anyway, it s pretty complete and has dashclock integration too, has widgets, reminders, all the rest.
If u want to support just buy donate version, if don t want just enjoy, share and give some feedback for free version

It's looks great, Thanks!

Looks really nice, but in my opinion the size of the font is too big.. I've got only 3/4 Events on the screen, that is too little for me.. I think if the font-size is smaller it could be a really productive Application for me.. But with the big size it looks, in the app, really nice but the widget is useless for me until the size of the letters is smaller ..
But still thank you for the Application !

I couldn't get the app suggested by OP to work for whatever reason. But the second app you suggested (zone assistive touch) is incredible. Always thought quick ball was too big and not transparent enough, but this gives you options to change both. Also, additional functionality, especially quick switch between 2 recent apps, is a godsend. The only minus compared to quick ball is swipe to edge of screen to hide..But that's a small price to pay imo

I couldn't get the app suggested by OP to work for whatever reason. But the second app you suggested (zone assistive touch) is incredible.

Smart touch has gott all the features you mentioned. Transparency, size, extra functions, ability to place it everywhere, hide when keyboard is on(nonsense if you dont use nav bar), also it has got edge applications as a bonus.

So to make this app persistent; you have to give all the permissions in application's settings like Pop-up display etc. Just do these if you still willing to try(Process order might be wrong but do all these):
Mi MIX
7.4.6 Épic

I've been using Smart Touch for about 3 weeks and it has made my Mix experience so much better. One-handed usability is possible now and I can permanently hide the nav bar. Also, I love that you can customize it to fit your needs. Thanks OP for bringing this app into the spotlight.

Thanks for the detailed post.
I'll give it another go and see which I like better.

if you are familiar with the Fly Me OS(Meizu's) and its magical Smart Touch feature, you may want to try this one. Quite useful and very similar to original. App link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=smarttouch.uet.edu.smarttouch

Thanks mate, I tried the app out for about an hour or so. I found it to be quite useful and nifty, unfortunately the app contains too many adverts and I don't really like the idea of having a floating icon in the middle of the screen.
What I like about Pie control is the fact that the triggering method is hidden away from the screen. In my opinion, Pie control is a more intuitive design and offers a smoother user experience.
Nevertheless, thanks for recommending the app. :good:

Adds make me crazy but hey I don't enter into the app much lol. I don't like the persistent floating button on the screen too but it's way better than nav bar for me. I tried pie; using it is kinda harder than that button somehow. Side note i really liked the idea of GMD gestures app which has no button or pie but does the same job for me. Yet, returned to this button again lol. My 2 previous device has had this button natively which i liked it a lot, maybe this is the reason. Anyway, thanks for input. Everyone uses what they like, is the beauty of Android. [emoji38]
