resumd

a recent apps overlay for rooted android tv

root required android tv license


what it does

resumd gives you a clean, cyberpunk-styled recent apps menu on android tv. stock android tv removed the ability to see and manage recent apps from third-party launchers. resumd brings it back - with root.

  • view recent apps - see what's running in the background
  • quick switch - tap to launch, hold for options
  • pin apps - protect apps from "close all"
  • close apps - force stop and remove from recents
  • close all - nuke everything (except pinned)
  • grid or row mode - your choice
  • custom trigger - hold back, double-tap menu, whatever you want

requirements

  • rooted android tv (magisk recommended)
  • android 9+ (tested on android 15 / lineageos 22)

the app uses su -c dumpsys activity recents to read recent apps and su -c am force-stop to close them. without root, these commands are blocked.
