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?

Yes I have but nothing.
For those of us who prefer the stock-ish experience and get frustrated by the inability to hold down home for app switching, AppBrain turned me on to a nifty little free app called Perfect Task Switcher. It runs well with TNT 3389+performance pack. You can also lets you select which home screen (classic or TNT) you want to go to when you do the 2x press on home.

I applied the home long press fix and now I can use the home button to access recent apps. It is very easy to apply. Would you like the link?

Thanks for the offer. I saw that a bit back but didn't apply it for some reason. I'm sure it is very easy to apply, but Perfect Task Switcher works and won't be replaced (likely) by a firmware update. Also, it has task-killing functionality built into it, so that's a nice little bonus.

Hi , can you give me the link please? Tks !
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
What is the difference between Android back button and WP8 back button?
I need to know this because I want to buy WP8.
Please explain the difference between the functionality, how they function?
Thank you.
The back button in WP8 behaves actually very cool and has 3 functions. First off it obviously takes you one step back Second, and what I find really cool, is that let's say you open an app and use it, then go back to your home screen with the windows button; now if you press back it takes you directly back to this app and exactly where you were in it. The third function is the multitasking. If you longpress the back button it opens the multitasking panel. There is something interesting to note regarding multitasking - by using the longpress function of the back button you get true multitasking - apps are resumed. But if you open an app and use it, then go back to home screen and start app from there or from your application list to the right, the app will launch again, not resume. That is basically it. If you have other questions, pls. say so - I got a lumia 820 right now and playing around with it, soon we will hopefully get some 920s here! :highfive:

Is long-pressing home very much preferable to the default way of doing this (double-tapping home)?

I my self would definitely prefer a long press rather than having to double tap. Sometimes I miss the second two and just go home but would have no problems with a long press.

Any solution to this? I'd like to make long-press home as the multi-tasking view and disable double-press home entirely (don't care about google now).
On the new 4.2.2 long press is now the menu button, double tap home is the recent apps like before and press, hold, and swipe up is the Google now

Yea I just saw this when I flashed to a 4.2.2 ROM. The thing I want to disable is the double-tap home button as it makes the single-press home a bit laggy since it has to wait to see if the second button press of home is registered or not. I would rather the phone just instantly goes home when I press home which requires the double-tap home function to be disabled which is why I'd like to rebind the task-switcher to something else like long-press home.

It doesn't make it laggy, as it doesn't wait for the second tap. You can still do the second tap once it gets to the homescreen. If you think it's slow, you should see the Samsung Galaxy phones with their REAL homebutton lag

It does... this is exactly what I'm relating it to. On my S3 it had double-press home to go to the S-Voice app. Once I disabled that feature, the home button would be instant on the S3. Otherwise, it would be "waiting" for the 2nd press. It's the same thing with the HTC One... at least it feels like it.
And no, I can't still do the 2nd tap when I get to the home screen...

I can some people store more electrical charge in their fingers, guess you are lacking that 'zap'
In all seriousness, I don't have any lag and you can disable the double tap by editing the framework.jar

Lol... well I feel the vibration feedback of the 2nd tap but it just acts as me pressing the home screen again, not part of the 2nd press from the 1st. I've tried timing it very closely but I still can't get it to go home and then bring up the task switcher. I can just get it to go home, then go home again, or get the task switcher.
Disabling it is only half the battle... I still want to bind the task-switcher to long press but I lack the know-how to do it lol. Thought there would be something built into modaco's framework to do it but I don't see that level of button customization there yet.

Well you have to do it by placing your finger in the HTC logo on the bottom, and slide it up on the screen. Did you do that correctly perhaps?
