I would like an app with no GUI. I want to be able to assign it a quick launch key and I want to to kill all tasks when pressed.
Sometimes my phone gets so SLOW that I want to just restart it. But it takes a long time to boot so it's a catch 22.
I have a Taskkiller app but when the phone is going that slow, the app won't even start. I need a quick key press to just kill everything.
Hope someone can make this for me.
theyre plenty of these in the market try searching >.< taskiller also has a kill all button but prob doesnt help cause for you it doesntopen.

All the apps I've tried have GUIs so they won't work as a quick launch shortcut.
If you know the name of one that's not a GUI I would appreciate it.
If you have the app "TasKiller" by Thibaut Nicolas from the market it comes with a widget that kills all with one tap. I know it isn't what you were asking for but it may help with what you want until someone else has a better suggestion.
taskiller does this
it comes with a widget that will kill all
I have the paid version of taskiller and I love it. But the widget doesn't work if you aren't on the home app.
taskiller is a ramkiller...the widget seems to eat up ram for me.
I looked for a solution long time for this, no success.
I wanna an app that can kill the active (foreground app) only, like in Cyanogenmod "long press back button kill".
I wanna assign to a hardware key this app to kill my active app.
(there is a "shake task killer " app, but I dont love it)
Anybody?

I use the widget running apps that comes with the original. Is that of any use to see apps running and stopping?:banghead:

I have gone through my AT&T Note 3 thoroughly and disabled most bloat.
I am finding the "My Magazine" app quite annoying due to single clicks of home button while on home screen and accidental upward swipes.
I have yet to figure out how to uninstall or disable it yet.
Does anyone know how?

I think until root is achieved if you cant disable it in app manager if you use a third party launcher it stops it from activating

Open My Magazine, hit your menu key, settings, you can turn off the option to open it via the home button... Unfortunately not with swipe up though. It seems like swiping is more difficult to open it anyway so it's less annoying.

is there any way to start the my magazine as an app and put on my home screen etc?
i cannot seems to find it in the app draw
I don't understand why they have this and flipboard. It is basically the same thing with a different interface and less customization.
It's annoying as hell for me because I already have flipboard as a damn widget. What's worse is you can't even put your flipboard account on there.

In a search on another thread to find a solution for getting to the home screen or home page without pressing the home button, user Dankchild provided this app:
Swipe Home Button Free
It creates a small area at the bottom of the screen where you can swipe up and it will take you home (or another custom action you set). You have to swipe from a little off the bottom of the screen up, and the magazine action is still there if you start on the screen, but since installing this and getting used to swiping from the bottom starting off the screen, I haven't opened the magazine application once. Not a fix but it is working great for me and killing two birds with one stone!
I'm looking for the same thing-a way to disable the stupid My Magazine swipe-up gesture. It's half baked and useless to me. Flipboard is much better and more customizable and I hate that the gesture is there at all in the stock launcher. There has to be a way around this somehow.
I went in to My Magazine and turned off the launch when pressing home button. Then with my phone rooted I froze it with titanium backup. Now if you swipe up from the bottom you get a little popup that says "No app found" or something like that. I have not found a way to get rid of that completely, maybe with that swipe up program listed above.
I also went into My Mag and disabled the button. Switched to NOVA launcher and now it doesnt activate if you swype up from the bottom of the screen...not sure if I did anything to disable it.

If you disable the apk it messes with the stock e-mail app for some reason. I spent days trying to figure out why until someone in another thread suggested I try unfreezing it. Now I haven't had any issues for about 3 days with the e-mail app.

Is this only with the stock e-mail (not gmail) app, or does it effect other stock apps too?

This happens on my VZ Note 3 as well. Don't understand what links them.

I read that this method is doing a fc whit the email apps
I am pretty disappointed with this. I was hoping I would not have to root the device.
You MUST agree to the Terms and Conditions / Privacy Policies to be able to "disable" the home button binding. If you force stop, clear data then the binding returns.
What was Samsung thinking when they thought they should FORCE everyone to use it or SUFFER the inconvenience...

Jokesonme gave you the answer! With that app you don't have to root and you can have it do nothing when you swipe or switch it to a different app.
Thanks jokesonme!!

Did not work for me. Even with installing the app and trying different bindings, it will either FC TouchWiz or go to the app not found screen in Google Play.
Sadface. Can't wait to put on a custom ROM without all the bloat.
This is horrible every like 20 minutes I'm gettin the error. I don't wanna root I wanna stick to stock.
Any other options?
Is it possible to use Tasker to start an app in the background? I know i could create a task that opens the app, waits 500ms and then click back button. That does work fine. BUT the app loads and is visible for that half second. I want to find a way to open the app without seeing it flash up on the screen.
Possible?
Thx

some app can use broadcast or other way to do this，like music app。not all can in this way
I am using an app of floating Back Button for my ease. That app uses accessibility feature to observe my action of course. But when ever i clear my recent apps, this app also killed. I would have to reopen it, give again permission of Accessibility to make it work.
Even if i dont kill the app at Recent app still system kill it after 1 hour.
Use different apps for back button but result is same. Any guide would be appreciated. Thanx in advance.. Waiting...
