How to install Lollipop recent apps menu on any Android
Step 1
You need to first install an app called Fancy Switcher from the Play Store. This app is free to install but offers in-app purchases.

After you finish installing Fancy Switcher we need to change its theme to look like Lollipop’s Recent apps menu. On the app’s main screen tap the gear icon on the bottom of the screen. This will take you to the app’s Settings. Now go to Style and choose Android L from the menu.
Step 3
Now that you have assigned Fancy Switcher as the new recent apps menu, it’s time to access it. There are two ways to access Fancy Switcher. You can either tap on the notification or long press the home button and select Fancy Switcher from the options. Make sure you tap Always so that you don’t have to repeat the steps later. Now you will see the Lollipop style recent apps menu. You can flip through the apps and swipe to kill the apps.
