Recent Apps button: Grid view instead of cards?

[ripcurlksm]

Are there any apps or launchers that will let me view my recent apps as a grid instead of cards?

I'm currently using the Google Launcher which took care of allowing my App tray to scroll vertically..... now I just need to sort out the recent apps and make them into a grid view

Unfortunately since the Recent Apps screen is a system element and not part of the launcher, you can't 'theme' that with one. The visual modification would have to be done deeper into the code, and you'd only find this in modified ROMs for your device (if at all).

You can, however, have a list of apps you've recently opened (not exactly the Recent view, but at least close) in the App Drawer with different launchers, like Nova. Again, the Recent window will remain the card stack view and that's what will pop up if you press the Recent button, but you will have a section in the App Drawer with a list of apps you've used recently and you can view that as a list or pages.

Yeah that was the biggest cockup from the google. Grid view is the best hands down.
