App Swap is a versatile application drawer that provides a powerful, adaptable, and compatible alternative to your default app drawer.

Overview

App Swap is an innovative application that offers a new approach to managing your applications. It replaces your default app drawer with a more dynamic and powerful version. The app is compatible with most of the major launchers including Google Now, Nova, Yahoo Aviate, and Everything Me.

Functionality

App Swap can be accessed directly from the home screen or by sliding your finger up from the bottom part of the screen. This feature works regardless of the app currently being used, offering a quick and easy way to switch between applications. Once activated, App Swap displays a drawer with all the installed apps.

Features

The standout feature of App Swap is the variety of filter options it provides. It offers more than just the typical search-by-name functionality. With App Swap, you can also search for apps based on the color of their icon. This might seem like an unnecessary feature, but it proves to be quite useful. Many times, users recognize an app by its icon rather than its name. This search-by-color feature allows you to quickly find and launch your apps, saving you precious time and effort.

Usefulness

App Swap is an extremely useful tool for users with a multitude of apps installed on their device. It offers a unique and engaging way to organize and manage applications. If you're looking for a fresh, exciting way to handle your apps, App Swap could be the solution you need.

Bug fixes

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • CALL_PHONE: Allows an application to initiate a phone call without going through the Dialer user interface for the user to confirm the call.
  • GET_ACCOUNTS: Allows access to the list of accounts in the Accounts Service.
  • READ_CONTACTS: Allows an application to read the user's contacts data.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • GET_TASKS: This constant was deprecated in API level 21. No longer enforced.
  • INSTALL_SHORTCUT: Allows an application to install a shortcut in Launcher.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES: Allows an application to call killBackgroundProcesses(String).
  • PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS: Allows an application to collect component usage statistics
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: Allows an app to create windows using the type TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT, shown on top of all other apps. Very few apps should use this permission; these windows are intended for system-level interaction with the user.
