resumd
a recent apps overlay for rooted android tv
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.
