QuickSwitch - Quickstep enabler for any supported launcher

QuickSwitch is a Magisk module which systemlessly enables Pie recents (Quickstep) in any supported launcher

Donations:

  • If you wish to donate to Paphonb for creating the QuickSwitch app you can do so here.
  • Or if you wish to donate to Skittles9823 for making the module, scripts, and handling support you can do so here.

Disclaimer

  • A full list of compatible launchers will not be provided as the app autodetects which launchers are compatible.
  • Nova will likely never support QuickSwitch unless they decide to add support for the Razer Phone naitivly.
  • MIUI does not have the necessary APIs to set third party launchers as the recents providers and as such is not supported.

Requirements:

  • Magisk 18+ (Android 10 needs Magisk v20 or higher)
  • Android 9+

Installation

  1. Flash this module.
  2. Reboot.
  3. Open the QuickSwitch app that was installed.
  4. Select a different launcher as your recents provider.
  5. Reboot.
  6. Verify your new recents provider is correct.
  7. Set the new recents provider as the default launcher.
  8. Profit.

Debugging

  • The boot scripts will save logs to /sdcard/Documents/quickstepswitcher whenever it detects the user wants to switch providers
  • All logs begin with quickstepswitcher
  • If you have any issues, please join the Telegram group and send the logs along with what your issue is.
