ROM Issues - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So ever since I started using a KoR ROM I've noticed that whenever I press the home button to exit an app, I don't exit it. Instead, the app for some reason just restarts. This happens with ALL my apps, including stock ones.
If you don't know what I mean, say I'm playing Asphault 5. When I press the home button, instead of going to my home screen, my screen flashes for a second and Asphault acts as if I quit the game and it starts to resume the game.
Does anyone have an idea as to why this is happening?

Have you checked your Home action in settings?

All buttons quit working except Home

I think my kids may have tweaked some button settings because now the only button that seems to work is the Home button. Volumn, Back, Open Phone, Close Phone don't seem to be working at all. I went into Settings > Buttons and I have five Button entries and one Button 1 entry.
There were like 4 set on <Context Menu>.
Does anyone know how to get my button settings back? I also noticed in the Phone app that when I press a few numbers to start a call and press the back icon to erase one of the numbers just entered it doesn't erase like it used to. So either my kids got crazy with some setting or my phone may need to be reset.
What do you think?
Thanks!

browser vs back button => browser still running?

In android when you press the back button you "close" an application. Why doesn't it work like this for the standard browser? When I press the back button all the way until it brings me to the home screen the browser is apparently (according to Samsung taskmanager) still running and consuming cpu + battery (every now and then).
I found that strange as well. However when you open a bookmark directly and press the back button that exits the browser fine.

Yes I noticed that as well. Why would the behaviour be different?
Anybody else? Or should I post this question in a generic Android forum?

Bump. Anybody?

[Q] Home button

Is it just me or does the home button not allways take you back to the homescreen?
I have found that for some reason when coming out of an app etc and pressing home it takes me back to the app draw and not directly to my pre defined home screen. It basically does what the back screen should (if it were working half the time!)
I cant see any possible logic for it to do this...the home button should take you back to blink feed or the home screen you have set as your 'home screen'
Anyone else have this or think it strange or give me some logical reason why it does it
thanks
That's how sense 5 works.
It treats the App drawer as another home screen. Press home again, and you'll go back to the home screen.
It was a conscious decision by HTC to do it that way...
and yes, i also find it annoying.

Home screen issues.

Hi. I'm having this problem that my home screen button doesn't work like it should. I use 5 panes and one of them is marked as a "home screen" when I'm not I my home screen pane I should be able to quick access to my home page by just hitting the home button. This is how my friends Z1 works and all my previous Android devices for that matter. But for some strange reason my home button doesn't do anything in to home screen or in any other pane. When I hit the home button the screen flashes quickly like it's trying to do something but nothing happens. Otherwise the home button works just like it should long press activated Google now and in other programmes it brings me back to the home screen. So the problem is somewhere in stock launcher.
Has anyone else noticed this and what might be the reason?

Try a different launcher like the excellent kit kat one from the Nex 5, it's been rock solid for me, but that issue you describe does sound weird, maybe a reflash of the rom you're using might do the trick.
Obviously reboot your phone often too, just incase you hadn't.
Problem solved.
I did install / uninstall of another launcher and after that the xperia launcher works like it should.

Question Home button behavior. Returns to folder where app was launched.

Just got my phone. My first MIUI device. I am having a hard time getting used to the home button behavior and if it can be changed. I like to keep my home screen clean. I keep most used apps in folders at the bottom of the screen. If I launch an app from a folder and I want to use the home button, instead of returning to the home screen it returns to the folder. Its very annoying. In many situations it acts exactly like the back button and not a home button.
Can this be solved or do I need to live with it?
Did you ever find a solution? It's driving me crazy that "home" doesn't take me home.
Anyone found a solution for this? It's very annoying! I would use a different launcher but when you change the MIUI default launcher some functionalities stop working or behave crazy like split screen on recents and others.
