I FOUND A WAY!
Okay, so for this you need:
Magisk
Xposed for Magisk (possibly also works with normal Xposed)
UnrestrictedGetTasks module found in Xposed Installer
The Apk at the bottom of the first post (Credits to in.abhi9) installed in /system/priv-app (just pop it in any magisk module you have installed in the same folders, so ./system/priv-app/theapk.apk).
a fingerprint gestures app like this that can launch shortcuts or tasker tasks.
using Tasker: In Tasker you need to create two tasks each containing the "run shell" action (they need root). In the first you put "am start in.abhi9.apphistory/in.abhi9.recentswipo.SwipeLeftActivity" and in the second "am start in.abhi9.apphistory/in.abhi9.recentswipo.SwipeRightActivity"
finally link left- and right swipes from the Fingerprint Gestures app to the correct tasker tasks and Bob's your uncle.
using shortcuts: you will need a launcher like nova or action launcher that can launch app activities. In the fingerprint gestures app, select shortcuts, nova/action activities, Recentswipo, and then SwipeLeftActivity and SwipeRightActivity accordingly.
enjoy superior app switching!
Of course you can map any trigger to the tasks you created, they don't have to be fingerprint swipes. I suppose screen swipe gestures can come in handy too!
Original post:
The latest Lenovo Zuk phones have an amazing feature (named U-touch) that let's users swipe their fingerprint scanner to switch apps. This is not just the switch-to-last-app feature we had since Nougat, but it remembers the app-order. Here are two video's to demonstrate what I mean:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS-LSoraPZg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sYf4H8yMHw
It seems like the fastest way ever to switch between open apps and as I like to multitask a lot (between more than 2 apps) I'm looking for an app, mod, module, Tasker profile, whatever, to make this happen. It doesn't really matter if it uses the fingerprint scanner (using the Oreo fingerprint gestures api) or if we have to swipe over our navigation bar. Does such a thing exist at all?

One thing I really miss about my z2 force was being able to lock the phone with the fingerprint scanner can you use this with tasker to make that happen?

Yes you can, tasker can already do that with "system lock" (however that disables the use of the fingerprint reader on the lock screen).
Are you rooted? Then you can simply create a task with a shell command (with root enabled) "input keyevent POWER", that will emulate a power button press. If you like you can then execute that task from the fingerprint gestures app

Nice! I tried that as well but the recent apps wouldn't be loaded due to Google removing the ActivityManager.getRecentTasks() command in AOSP, are you perhaps running a custom rom?
I also found out you can just run GMD gestures to go to the previous and next app without xposed (but with root) either with gestures or with the fingerprint swipe mapped to a gmd shortcut

If you open the fingerprint gestures app and assign a shortcut to a certain swipe, select the gmd shortcuts from the list, application, next/previous app respectively.
I however still use the xposed version as it can reach the homescreen using swipes (similar to the Zuk) instead of cycling the opened apps and the animation is smoother.

Those were the exact steps I took, but for some reason after I select "next/previous app" it just returns to the list of shortcuts instead of registering the shortcut with the gesture. However, I'm going to give the xposed version a try after your insight about the animation being smoother. I'm all for smoother animations! :good: Thanks again for your help.

Oh that's odd, oh well... You'll probably enjoy Xposed, I haven't used it since Marshmallow due to it lacking behind, so it's fun to be able to use it again (go Gravitybox)! And I don't even notice a performance hit at all (which I was worried about), the only downside is the safety net, but hey, Android Pay isn't available here anyway.

If you use systemless Xposed for Magisk you can just disable the module and reboot to pass Safety Net. Works for all my banking apps and Android Pay :good:
Thank you for showing this awesome feature!
How exactly do you install it as system app? Is it even necessary? I was successful just installing the apk as normal app and then using Nova launcher.
Tried using the tasker method but the finger gesture app kept crashing even though the Tasker tasks seemed to work when testing inside Tasker.

It's probably crashing because it's isn't a system app yet. The easiest way to make it a system app is using a systemizer module in magisk (I believe it uses terminal emulator when it's installed, it's explained in the module description anyway). Or you could do it the "cheating" way and put the apk in your root directory /magisk/(a module)/system/priv-app/RecentSwipo/RecentSwipo.apk
Installing to priv-app wont work, app wont appear. Installing it to /system/app or simply install the apk work though. Although if it installed as user app, the service might be killed in the background.
GMD Solution wont work, the Fingerprint Swipe app unable to assign the proper shortcut. I think the problem is with the GMD.

I won't be using S Voice a whole lot, and would rather repurpose my home key double click to something useful - such as recent apps/multitasking (as this would be much faster than holding home down). Is there a mod for this?
Also, I'd like to double click home to wake phone and unlock screen - any mods for this?
I'm on Omega v6.0, just flashed it.
Also, I'd like to do something about the wake-up delay. When pressing power or home to wake the screen up, there's a wait of a good half a second - I want it instantaneous, like my old phone was.
Any ideas?
Bump.
Afaik this delay is caused by waking up from deep sleep. There isnt much you can do, unless you want to force your phone to stay awake it will drain the battery quickly, though.
Try apex or nova launcher..
For multitasking try "wave launcher".not an ordinary launcher, check market
Editr try gesture launcher
Edit 2: or dock4droid also cool 4 multitasking

Home2 shortcut in the market is.pretty useful.for key shortcuts like double click home or double click search key. Check it out
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk 2
Home2 Shortcut seems like it should work (if and only if S Voice is disabled). If you have Nova Launcher installed, task switching is one of the shortcuts Nova has (so within Home2 Shortcut when you choose the app you'd like to be run, choose "Shortcut->Nova->Task Switcher"). If you don't use Nova as your normal launcher, I might be concerned about whether this causes Nova to be loaded into memory--this is a very simple test, but I can't do it because Nova is my launcher so it's already in memory.
The above technique has two disadvantages: you lose the ability to press "home" when you're already at the launcher (it does nothing), and there's an added delay before opening the launcher. I mitigate this delay by setting the double-tap time to a fast setting.
Another idea I had that might work:
- Uninstall S Voice (I think you can also rename the .apk to .apkbackup).
- Install a task-switching app (there's a very simple one on the market but it's not free--it just triggers normal Android task switching)
- Decompile the task-switching app
- Change the app namespace to S Voice's namespace
- Recompile and install the modified app.
This might make double-home-tap automatically trigger task switching without the disadvantages that come with using Home2 Shortcut. Unfortunately, I haven't yet decompiled/recompiled an app, so I probably can't give this a try until the weekend.
Edit: If technique 2 works and we want to share it as a mod, our only choice is to rewrite the app. There's no way we can condone pirating somebody's paid app.

Multitask Shortcut. Perhaps there are other apps that do this, but I haven't looked.
But it's still at least 2 button press. I'm lazy, so I'll continue with "wave launcher" that's just a swipe over screen and all your selected apps appear.

I found a way to swipe into multitasking, so I won't bother with the Home button:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28899928#post28899928
* This is an Xposed module. You MUST have Xposed Framework installed. Otherwise this app WILL NOT FUNCTION.. You can download Xposed here: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
With Quick Access, you can allow your selected apps to be launched over the lockscreen without unlocking your device. You can also swipe up from the on-screen home button to launch Google Now or launch applications from lockscreen widgets without unlocking your phone . For example, allow your camera, music, and to-do list applications to be launched over the lockscreen to access them in an instant. Allow your friends to browse your music library without fully unlocking your device, quickly add a task to your to-do list; or never miss that photo opportunity; with Quick Access the possibilities are limitless!
In addition, Quick Access also enables you to expand your status bar in secure lockscreen and also show all widgets (instead of only lockscreen widgets) in lockscreen widget picker
Computer Mode: This allows you to let the timer keep going, even when the screen is off. This means that you can use EyeRelax to limit your time on the computer, television, or whatever other device you own, without using battery to keep the screen on and the timer running!
Notes:
- To launch applications from DashClock widget, please select DashClock in Quick Access. Or more specifically the activity: com.google.android.apps.dashclock.WidgetClickProxyActivity.
- To launch Google Now by swiping up from the on-screen home button while in the lockscreen, please select Google Now in Quick Access, or more specifically the activities: com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.SearchActivity AND com.google.android.velvet.ui.VelvetActivity.
- This application does not actually launch the applications (yet), it just allows them to be launch (via other methods) over the lockscreen. A good application to do that is DashClock.
Downloads:
Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TwinBlade.QuickAccess

I'll give an example. If you select your music application in Quick Access, you don't have to unlock your lockscreen to view that app. If you launch your music app and turn your screen off and on again, normally you'll have to unlock the lockscreen to access your music app, but with QA the music app will be displayed over the lockscreen so it's the first thing you see when you turn your screen on.
Another example with lockscreen widgets. If you have a google now widget on your lockscreen and click on it, normally you'll have to unlock first; with QA google now will be displayed over the lockscreen.
I have the examples make sense.
Ahh know i understand, thx!
Have trouble with this. I select the apps in QA, reboot, and nothing on my lockscreen.
Any suggestions?

If your Downloads page is set to sort by status, it's right there in alphabetical order. If it's sorted by last update, it's the fifth listed. If it's sorted by creation date, it's the first one at the top of the page. And this is ignoring the fact that Xposed has a search function.
Quick Access (v. 1.3) crashes every time I try to launch it.
I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 with stock ROM (4.3).

Sounds like a root issue to me.
FWIW, it's better to just use the reboot option in the power menu anyways. The reboot option in the power menu allows apps and processes to terminate gracefully whereas when an app reboots it just kills all apps and processes.
interesting concept. so is this the same kind of idea as what google maps does then? where if the screen goes off, and you unlock, it will just wake up to maps? and then if you try to back out, it'll request that you do the passcode?
**** THIS PROJECT IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED ****
Niwatori changes the display position of apps. The target device is a smartphone that has about 5-inch display because the purpose is one-handed operation.
Thanks to rovo89, I can use this on Lollipop!
Niwatori provides three one-handed modes:
- Movable Screen
- Slide Down
- Small Screen.
They work temporary, NOT permanent.
**
Niwatori was my local version of Flying Android. I released Niwatori since Xposed framework supports Android 5.0 Lollipop.
Differences:
- Abolished FA Toggle, pin, flying dialog and notification shortcut features.
- Control the window only from shortcuts.
- Move the status bar and the dialogs in the same way as the apps.
**
Compatibility
NIWATORI CONFLICTS WITH OTHER MULTIWINDOW AND ONE-HANDED SYSTEM.
I test on Nexus 4 with Stock ROM. Niwatori should work on Nexus devices running Stock. And I support CyanogenMod if Niwatori works with small special code for CM.
Usage
Create shortcut for one-handed mode by Niwatori on sub-launcher , such as Pie control.
[MY USAGE 1] Navigation Bar and Gravity Box
Use shortcuts:
Movable Screen
Pin
[MY USAGE 2] LMT Launcher's Pie
Use shortcuts:
Small Screen
Swap Left/Right
Expand notifications with extra action (Small Screen)
Testing (v0.4.5)
[DEV] Nexus 4, Android 5.1.1
Nexus 9. Android 6.0.0

Translation
Volunteers are welcome to translate text (strings) to your language.
Download strings and edit two files:
- strings.xml
- strings_activity_settings.xml
And send them to me Note that text encoding of android is UTF-8.
If possible, place them in your language folder. ('values-ja' for Japanese, 'values-ru' for Russian, etc.)
Troubleshooting
Turn on "Log Actions" in niwatori's settings and call a shortcut for one-handed mode. Then Xposed framework logs as follow.
Code:
04-21 08:25:47.553 24125-24125/? I/Xposed﹕ jp.tkgktyk.xposed.niwatori.intent.action.SMALL_SCREEN
04-21 08:25:47.556 24125-24125/? I/Xposed﹕ NFW(ModActivity$20#onReceive): jp.tkgktyk.xposed.niwatori consumed: jp.tkgktyk.xposed.niwatori.intent.action.SMALL_SCREEN
The first line is shortcut (action) name, above case is Small Screen, and the second line logged who consumed the action by package name, above is niwatori settings. If the consumer isn't expected package, add the package into blacklist in niwatori settings.
Well

It seems to be the first module which has updated to adapt for new Xposed on Lollipop!
But i'm new to FlyingAndroid/Niwatori. My Device has no virtual navigation buttons and can't call the app as you shown on Youtube. is it now possible to call the app and scale the screen out by setting some kind of triggers???

I got it, finnaly. You can add a gesture to every setting. But I see no use to it fi I can't put 2 window in the same screen.
@GalaxyS4_Lollipop;
@Demonbane_x;
Trigger for Niwatori is shortcut. The "shortcut" is the same as ordinary shortcuts of any apps. So you can fire "shortcut" from home app, launcher app, GravityBox's action (works on lollipop?) , etc.
This mod moves the display position of foreground app, but not show multiple apps. In the screenshots, I only show one app (Niwatori UI) and expanded statusbar.
This module not working on MIUI 6.

I like the idea of making floating apps, but if you can't put two apps in one window , I don't know for what to use it.
You are a good developer , I hope you will make an app like XHaloFloatingWindow for lollipop in future.
doesn't fly the window
I associate the "toggle" NFW action with a gesture via GMD Gesture Control. When I execute the gesture, it doesn't fly the window. Instead, it opens the Niwatori settings app.
I should add that most of the time it does nothing at all. I know I'm executing the gesture correctly because I get the correct haptic feedback. I'm using the paid app.
Seems promising, gonna try it out
Amazing app!
One problem I saw that came up was that I was no longer able to perform the second pull-down of the notification bar from the middle of the screen; instead, I now have to reach my thumb upwards far more.
I think the module changes the trigger area. Can you check this out? It would make life easier!
And by second pull-down, I mean the method to get from notifications to toggles (bt, wifi, etc.)

XHaloFloatingWindow is one of the best modules. I cannot make such app.
But I cannot use halo window efficiently because my phone doesn't have enough display size for multi window. On the other hand, I don't reach thumb at the top of the screen. I need to pull down the screen.

Please check these points:
If you fire the "toggle" action from the other launcher (e.g. home app), does the "toggle" work fine?
Close Niwatori settings app before you use its actions.
If you need a refund, please tell me your order number by email or private message on XDA.
EDITED: I tried GMD Gesture Control, however it says "no supported device". (because of lollipop?)

Amazing app!
One problem I saw that came up was that I was no longer able to perform the second pull-down of the notification bar from the middle of the screen; instead, I now have to reach my thumb upwards far more.
I think the module changes the trigger area. Can you check this out? It would make life easier!
And by second pull-down, I mean the method to get from notifications to toggles (bt, wifi, etc.)

Thanks. I checked it out and It's a bug certainly. I want to fix it.
Can do split screen for two applications on the Samsung firmware?

Right, GMD currently doesn't work on Lollipop.
I tried closing Niwatori settings before using its actions, but it still doesn't work.
I put the NFW actions widget on my home screen (selecting "toggle"), but when I press the widget, nothing happens.
Thanks, but I won't bother with the refund: I'm glad to throw you the support, and I'll keep re-testing the app every time you update. I hope you can try some things to make it work on my S4.

Sorry, I don't know Samsung's split screen. I have only old Samsung's device.
@Jimmy34742;
Thank you for your cooperation.
I found a fatal error in the settings. Depending on the combination of settings, it is not possible to change the window mode and move the app.
Please disable "Reset automatically" option basically. It is useful only when to fire actions from recents button.

Have a look here for an effective way to get split screen on any device. Make sure you read the entire OP (It's 4 posts long)

I saw this application. It does not work correctly (logically) and is no longer updated.

I have "reset automatically" switched off, but it still doesn't work. If I don't back out of Niwatori's before going to another app, then the shortcut will re-enter Niwator at the same point. But if I exit Niwatori by backing out of it, then my shortcut just does nothing.

You're mistaken on both points! It does work quite well, and it has been updated for lollipop. I've been using it since lollipop Xposed was released (even before it was 'officially' supported, it worked on version 2.38... It's now been updated to version 2.41)
I would ask to add double-click on a recent. In CM12 like as long press is already taken - switch between the last two applications.
The ability to run the application down to the user is in the Donut version?

I said that logic does not suit me. A developer does not do anything to add / edit functions.
Background
I am using HTC-E8. The power button is on the top of device which is difficult to turn screen off by using its power button. So I write this mod to let me turn of screen by just swipe up from home button
Function
This mod allow you swipe up from home button to turn off your screen.
Since swipe up from home button normally will trigger Google Now. This mod default will disable this gesture for trigger Google Now. However, you can have an option to enable Google Now by long press the home button.
Notes:
1. You must reboot your device to make your preference take effect.
2. I only test it on my HTC-E8 device with HTC Sense 6.0
Changes History:
2015-04-27 v0.83
1. Fix package name issues while download from Xposed repository
2. Add a function to completely disable "Google Now"
3. Add function on turning the threshold for triggering "Google Now"

Great work!!
Will test this module for sure~
If Dev can consider on including this swipe up gesture to run other actions or shortcuts will be even more fantastic!
Thanks for the great module!
It works but the threshold is too short, very easy to accidentally tutn off screen. Therrs no swiping up animation like woth google now but i just press on the home button a little longer than usual then the screen turns off. Please implement the now-like popup and ability to adjust threshold
"Package name is incorrect" on Xposed repository (aka can't download from xposed app)
I would also like to see the ability to change the threshold before screen turns off, and adding some kind of visual, whether it's Google's own one or a custom one, would be nice.
For me it works by swiping up on the home, menu, app drawer and back buttons on my LG G3. I like it that way since it's easier to toggle the screen off.
Nice module I believe the same thing can be achieved with greenify which lets you default "hibernate and lock" to the swipe up shortcut. You don't need xposed for that.

Well I dislike that greenify always locks the phone and I only want my screen turned off. With greenify it always prompts me to enter my unlock pattern and ignores Googles smart lock and for this is an annoyance.
But with this module it works like a charm.

Alright I did not know greenify disables smart unlock.
It disables only Googles smart lock but not the app smart unlock ^^
Can this be done by swiping up the 'Recents' button instead of Home button?? *Idea!

Are you sure? Just tested it and smart lock does still work.
Great! It's always good to have more options.

Yes, at least on paranoid android rom, I have an unlock pattern and trusted faces enabled and it always asks for the pattern when I use the greenify hibernate and screen lock function
Holy. Xposed installer tells me that the package sign is not correct. You should check iy.

Okay well, you can't really complain to the dev here if your using a custom ROM.

I don't complain about the module, which works perfectly, it was about greenify and it's similar function.
Is this possible using hardware navigation keys? I guess it's not, since it just replaces the Google now shortcut..

It does work in hardware navigation keys.
And your equipment
If you're trying this package post the type of device it worked on, OS, custom ROM etc... so others will know..

Good stuff! Although swipe [down] to sleep & swipe up to wake, just make more sense to me as swipe gestures.
Loving my Mate 20 Pro, coming from HTC U11 big difference! (though to be honest am missing my phone a bit :crying: )
Anyway on the HTC I had the option to hide apps from the app list/drawer. Not uninstall them, just hide them from the list of installed apps. Is this possible with the Huwaei? Don't want nosy husband/kids to know all the apps I have installed. And yes they all have access to my phone
EMUI has a "Hidden Application Menu" which you can access by doing a two finger zoom gesture on the home screen (reverse of a pinch)
After opening this tap the + to add apps. Then just pinch to go back to normal.
Just remembered - this is disabled by default on the M20P so do the following:
- Install "Tweaker for Huawei" from the Play Store
- When you go to turn on the hidden application menu it will say you can't and to download an addon
- download the addon and tap to install it - you will be prompted to allow installs
- enable the hidden application menu then restart the phone
That should be it.

Thank you! I have installed and installed the add on and enabled hidden application menu no problem. I am zooming in on all screens, nothing. Zooming in on all pages does nothing, and cannot find a setting anywhere to hide an app.
You need to zoom out XD
Aha I actually meant out as in a reverse pinch. Nothing a happening
And your setting in Tweaker looks like this?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZSflN9lSx3biVDRbZOVC6zlY1A1hfxHX/view?usp=sharing
Yes exactly.
Then I don't know That should be it as long as you restarted the phone after enabling it.

I can now hide applications running on my Mate 20 pro
I have been faced with the problem of hiding applications but applied the solution suggested by you, but I must explain to you why you did not work first after you have all the steps listed + restart the device must return to the same option and activate it again and on activation you will see a message that was activated and after this step You must change Drawer and make Standard and then work with you

Hello, if you change "Drawer" to "Standard" and now hide the app and then select back "Drawer", does the app stays hidden or it shows inside the app drawer?
Thank you
