ICS task switchers are not for this phone for two reasons:

• They're laggy.
• The list doesn't fit on our small screen, making the default task switcher much, much more effective.

Man I told you

They are laggy and can create problems.

Tell me one use of them

You can't see the app running like ICS

You can't swipe to kill them


Stock ones are better

some XML files require difficult mode to be enabled while editing

It took me a while to edit my status bar XML for center clock
