Is there any way (option or workaround) to be able force close app?
I usually use hold back button to force close app.
Right now I use virtual navigation button, when I press and hold back button I feel vibration. I assume the system can give command of hold back button.
Can I assign to kill running foreground app?
Thanks all.

does anyone know a possibility to have the home button on the td2 closing an active application. its kinda hard to press the upper right X with the fingers and would be nice to have it on that button... ohwell it should close the app and go to the homescreen actually any chance to get that working?
Settings / All Settings / Personal / Buttons and there you can change function of your button (initial value is "Today")
actually i only have 1 button to configure there.. and im not even sure which one is that... its called button 1... ??
this is the answer button long pressed.
i use that for soft reset program
In most applications the back key acts the same as pressing the 'X' on the top right corner.
Only in Opera, as far as I know & maybe YouTube, that thee back key will act as 'Back'.
sadly this is not true.. even if i configure the answer button to ok/close it does not work properly. for example.. i open calendar and use the back button or press answer button a long time it will not close it - its still visilbe in the tasklist in upper right corner of the screen.
or is there maybe an app which will shutdown all open tasks when phone goes to standby mode?
[Q] How to remap long press button & vol up&down buttons: any app or manual mod?
Hi!
I have a Galaxy S and searching for mapping the long press button so to launch a custom app, and the vol up & down so to manage next or perv song in player.
For the first one I have found a home & search button switcher. It is called HomeSmack and its free on the Market. It allows to change the default launcher invoked with the home button (like the famous app Home Switcher for Froyo), but it also attempts to remap the long press that is bind to the recent pop-up.
This last feature would work if I could Clear Defaults to the Android app that invokes the recent pop-up. I realized this because is written in the tutorial of a task switcher called TapIt that I was trying to use. It says that without clearing those defaults it is not able to bind a new app to the long press.
Is there a way to clear those defaults? What android app is involved?
Otherwise how is it possible to remap the long press with another app?
About the vol up & down, I wouldt like to remap them ONLY in a song player, and have back the vol control in regular phone use. Is it possible?
Otherwise is there a third party player that has this functionality?
Thank you.
Sorry for this noob question. The only way to exit from the stock browser is by pressing the back button as many times as possible?
seems that way dude. what i do is just press home until the task switcher appears and then task manager and then kill it from there.
If you want you can go to the market and install TaskSwitcher. Press home, and it brings up a list of currently open applications, from anywhere. Long press to kill the selected app.
Though I don't use that feature very much, I'd rather Android do it.
Regards
Press the home button then open the task manager and stop the application
thanks to all
Button Light and Touch
An very small and simple utility to adjust the duration of the capactive button lights.
You can also remove this app from the app drawer once you install it.
Not the most original app, but it's 100% free and does one really important thing if you use my other app, Button Mapper. Assigning a long press action to the Recent Apps or Back button with Button Mapper will cause the capacitive button lights to stay off all the time. If you install this app, the light will work again.
Due to a convoluted development thing concerning target APIs of Android apps, I was not able to add this functionality directly to Button Mapper. I had to put it in a separate app.
So think of this as an add-on for Button Mapper. Or just use it to change the duration of the button lights and toggle button vibration.

Title says it all, i'm on stock. In the Buttons screen there are options to change long and double press of each hardware button, but not single press. I can change single press action of the home button with nova launcher, i'd like to change single press action of the left capacitive button so it acts as a regular menu button.
Try flar2's Button Mapper app.
All I want is long press on back-hardware key to kill the current app which we can usually find in developer settings. Is it a Nugent thing or stock OOS disable this feature?
I'm coming from a galaxy s3 running CM from about 4 years ago and even then it had simple things like this, i could hold back to kill and also use volume controls to skip track when screen is off, etc. Can't do any of that on this new phone, really frustrating. To remap back and recent apps button using that app you need to upgrade to the pro version
