How To: Switch Between Running Apps on Your Samsung Galaxy S3 Without Ever Lifting a Finger
I've covered a few multitasking app switchers before, but none of them are as sleek and smooth as the aptly titled Switchr, a new app developed by Mohammad Adib that lets you move from one app to another quickly and smoothly—just like how I switch between my women. Well, not really, but I would.Right now, Switchr is currently in private beta, but is expected to be available in the Google Play Store for everyone after October 20th for an undisclosed amount. If you can't wait to give it a try, you can join the beta by following the first three steps below. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.
Step 1: Join the Google+ GroupFirst, make sure you're signed in to Google+, then head to the Switchr Beta Testers community and click on the red "Join community" button.
Step 2: Become a TesterAfter joining the community, it will ask you to become a tester. Do so. If you don't see this option appear, click here to become one instead.
Step 3: Install from the Play StoreAfter becoming a tester, download the app from the Google Play Store; only those who join the community and apply to be a tester will be able to see and download the app. If you don't want to
Alternative Way to Get Switchr BetaIf you don't have a Google+ account and have "Unknown Sources" checked in your GS3's security settings, you can just download the Beta APK directly and use the Package Installer to install it. But this version will not receive any updates, and it will "self-destruct" when the official Switchr is released on Google Play.
Why Switchr Is Better Than Other App SwitchersAdib says that Switchr is "task switching revolutionized." It's hard to revolutionize something that is so easily available on some Android devices already, but after recently covering Edge and Floating Apps, Switchr is my favorite. It may not revolutionize, but it definitely refines.On stock TouchWiz, you have to press and hold the Home button to bring up running apps, then select the one you want on the touchscreen. But in Switchr, you do all the work on your touchscreen, and you can open recent apps and open one without ever lifting your finger.
Switchr Gives You Two Looks to Choose FromThere are two methods of switching between apps, Flow and Slide. With Flow (left picture below), you can breeze through multiple applications in an animated three-dimensional view similar to Cover Flow on iOS. With Slide (right picture below), you can slide through running apps one at a time. All you need to do is place your finger at the edge of your screen and your apps will pop up in whatever style you've chosen.
Switchr's Preferences & SettingsSwitchr has list of preferences and settings organized in three separate tabs (General, Switchr, Support). There is also a Feedback section where you can leave helpful advice and update the developer with issues you're having as a beta tester. You can add apps to a blacklist or whitelist, change the position of the edge swiper, limit the amount of apps shown, and much more.
Switchr's Support OptionsAnother great thing about this application is that it is very intuitive and seeks to help users with any problems one may have. You can select your issue and have the app try and fix it for you. Pretty legit.
Overall, Switchr Is Fast, Easy, & UnobtrusiveSwitchr is my new favorite way to switch between apps, and I'm sure it'll only get better in time. Remember that Switchr is set to officially release on October 20th in the Google Play Store, so make sure to check that version out for the real deal.If at any time you want to end the beta testing, you can "Leave the test" from the Google+ community page, then uninstall the beta app (or just uninstall the beta app if you didn't join the community). You'll need to uninstall it anyway when the official version comes out.

Another easy method uses a coin cell battery, a single LED and some tape. Sometimes called "LED throwies" because people used to add a magnet and toss them at metal bridges (please don't do this…it's littering, and e-waste materials don't belong in landfills or the street). LED is short for light-emitting diode.
