Back button force closes current app? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

One of the many ROMs i've tried had this feature in it. When you have an app open you can press the back button to force close it. Unfortunately i dont remember which ROM this was, but hopefully some here can help me out with this. Is there any way i can have this feature in any ROM i install or is this something specific to some ROMs?
Thanks a lot for any help provided!!

I believed it's a GB 2.3 feature
Settings>Applications>Development>Stop app via long press.

Hey thanks a million baseball!!!! Thanks for the quick reply, i feel dumb for not checking the settings first! :/

Running stock 2.3.3 and can confirm it's not there. It used to be in CM6.1.1, that's all I know for sure.

Im running an AOSP 2.3.2 with CM and its there. I'm super happy with this build!! no phone wonkiness, battery life is awsome, and it moves very smoothly!

It's a CM feature...

Also in MIUI.

I confirm, it's a MIUI feature

Can be found in most of the recent roms now. Especially the gingerbread ones.

Well, I'm pretty sure it was introduced in CM and then copied to MIUI but then again they share code from time to time so it doesn't matter.

Probably because almost all roms on XDA now just copy CM pretty much straight up.

[q]htc hero cmda 2.2 rom

Hey everybody, i have a quick question. I have rooted my HTC SPRINT HERO (CMDA) and I'm looking for a stable 2.2 (Froyo) ROM so that i can flash. Anyone have any recommendations?

why not just try Ginger bread?

See above or the 31DEC release of it that was done by CM. I think it was the last 6.2 entry of the Froyo releases. Although, rumor has it that they picked up on the Froyo nightlys again. Might want to check that out too.
Come check out the latest Gingerbread when you get the chance. It's making great progress!!

1.It's because we don't have Gingerbread bootloaders.
2. CM7 kernels don't work
I'm confused why people are reposting the EDT ROM with basically nothing changed. Users can uninstall and install app themselves. Same goes for Kernels and Modems. None of the original bugs are solved really so I'm confused why this is the second such ROM out today.
I understand it's a great learning experience but from a user standpoint it does not contribute much. I would love when the dev uses the things he/she learned from this to make something.
PS: hayn_pryde46, this is not directed at you nor is this negative. I am very glad you decided to get into the dev game and hope you will become good at it. I'm just unsure your learning experience should be posted as a complete ROM.
why did you port this if it has like NO difference between mine? i mean seriously dude not cool.
Thank you for the previous two posts. I recently got a thread closed because I stated that the dev section is getting polluted with too many roms, which are all the same with minor changes. Im glad im not the only one

ALL he did was download my rom, and re-upload it with some more apps and a different modem/kernel. NOTHING MORE.
Yeah sorry most 98% files are new from xwjvb I just used the rom as base deleted all the files but their init.d tweaks added new build.prop and modem and kernel got mtp sync to work and maybe debugging and original music player remember reboot problems with whitehawks rom, in which he changed it to miui apk

Literally just came to post the exact thing. It seems to be a trend lately, to the point that it's getting ridiculous. The bugs that exist are pretty big, so how about we either work on those, or sit back and wait for other, more advanced devs to fix them before we start "porting" and call it our work.
I assume you don't have the ability to fix the existing bugs, so that alone should stop you when you go to open a thread for a new ROM that you know you don't have the ability to improve yourself.
I mean, then what? Someone is going to work really hard and eventually fix something, you're going to copy/paste it and call it an update? Just relax on these "ports" for now, they're not needed at this stage of 2.3.3 for the Vibrant.
so you DIDN'T tweak it as it says in your post. You give me NO credit even though you downloaded my rom (which has at least some BIG differences to whitehawks) and just replaced the files that determine the build number added a different kernel/modem and pass it off as your COMPLETE own work. Mine at least fixes some bugs his old rom had (battery drainage, made 3D gaming less sucky). Like cmon dude.

i dont see the point of this rom...
I'm sorry but this rom is completely pointless, right now it is identical to the cm nightly and only creates fragmentation, and even when this rom changes it will probably just be some apk's added or removed, and that in my opinion is pointless, because it only creates confusion.
In addition since this is based on a nightly build unless the "developer" (and i put that in quotes for a reason) of this rom updates it every single day its going to be out of date compared to the actual nightly cm build.
and yes I realize that I probably come off as rude in this post, but It always annoys me when people takes a rom, makes a couple of small changes and then post it as their own rom, when in reality they just took a rom that someone worked hard on and just made a small change to it.
I fully agree with you.

make sense.
I'm sorry but the above comments are completely out of context and pointless...
You're missing the point of free custom roms here, navlem has posted an early release rom which 'in time' will be an alternate to stock CM Gingerbread with tweaks and additions for the LG Optimus 2X phone specifically... he is a good modder and i have no doubt he will bring us a good rom.
This is as he stated in the first post, an 'Alpha' which means he is working on it to improve and change it.
NEVER put down a modder for any works he submits to us for FREE, if u don't like the works, do not use it and move on, simple.

I'm not missing the point, I fully realize what the point of custom roms are, however this is not a custom rom, this is the first cm nighly rom rebranded, that is all that this rom is currently, and that is pointless, and I do realize that navlem will probably change a couple of small things later that will make this rom a little bit different from the official cm. but if everyone decided to uploade "custom" roms that only differed slightly from the rom they are based on then that creates fragmentation and confusion. How would you feel if you had worked weeks to make a truly custom rom, and then as soon as you had shared it with the world, somebody decided to add one application to it and then re-uploaded it as their own rom? you would probably be annoyed right?
And that is what navlem just did(well as far as I know he didn't even add an app)
Don't get me wrong I am in no way discouraging people from trying to make positive changes to a rom, but those changes has to be more than simply changing a couple of apps.
well, regardless of all of that, the fact that this rom, right now, is pointless, is something not even you can deny, if navlem really wanted to release a so called "custom" rom then he should at the very least changed it in some way.
And trust me I don't have anything against navlem, but when someone simply takes a rom and rebrands it without changing anything then I get annoyed so please forgive me for acting like a jerk on this particular discussion. I'm usually a pretty nice person.

I understand what you mean.
There are subtle changes made in this ROM but the aim of this first alpha build is to let people test out and give me feedbacks and ideas how to go about improving this rom. This v0.1 is just a first step to open up to the people out here who have ORD and interact with them to see what they really like in a ROM.
That's how it happened for BlazingDragon ROM in my other thread. I received PMs stating that they wants to try my latest version to test and they keep giving me feedbacks and ideas for future updates. That's how I liked it to be.
True enough, v0.1 of the BlazingDragon2x ROM did not make alot of changes to shift away from the shadows of CM. But slowly it will.
I hope not to cause any controversy or start any wars of any kind. If more people are against me creating another ROM on CM7 nightly. I'll just back down, close this thread, and concentrate on my previous ROM.
Thanks for being honest

gosh darn it, how am I supposed to criticize you when you act so nice to me , well I guess I can see what you mean, and I do respect you for wanting to help the community, the main reason for me being annoyed is the fact that you released this rom without changing anything (as far as I know) instead of waiting for a while and then release a rom that was actually different from cm, In addition its never recommended to base your rom off a unstable rom, so In my opinion you should have waited until a stable version of cm7 was available, and again I don't have anything against people like you, the only problem is that there are usually a lot of people like you in most of these forums, and if everyone of you decided to create their own rom then that would create a mess of almost identical roms, which would hurt the community, and thats what Is why I was a little annoyed at you creating this rom. I simply want to prevent this forum from being overrun by roms, and I hope that you can respect my side of this argument, but In hindsight I kinda overreacted and came off as kind of a jerk, so sorry for acting so mean to you, nothing personal
navlem, I do appreciate your good work and your willingness to share; however I also share the sentiments expressed by mikael120.
I would also suggest that if a Rom is heavily based on someone's work, then the thread title/header should carry a notation bearing the original Rom's codename. For example, both FearKill and TK roms make reference to Modaco and/or Fr12 in their thread titles/headers. This gives due credit to the original developer, and also makes it easier for guys like us to quickly identify the source of the Rom.

yes.. FFC works. As you know, blandroid has no Google apps pre-installed. There is a gapps package you use (same as with cyanogen). But that gapps package hasn't got the latest Talk.apk
You need to get the new version of Talk.apk yourself. I created a thread and posted a link here.
Blandroid 2.3.5p0

Blandroid.org manually updated changelog
2011-09-10
2.3.5p0 released
2011-09-09
Imported CMScreenshot app from CyanogenMod and added a screenshot function to the global power menu. Now screenshots can be taken natively from anywhere by holding down the power menu and selecting "Take Screenshot". Screenshots show up as PNG files in the DCIM/Screenshots directory on the SD card.
Added a setting to disable showing failed lock patterns. Most useful when the "Use visible pattern" option is disabled.
Been using this myself for the past day, very fast, stable and smooth rom, I will be using this as my daily driver from now. Haven't cross any bugs yet.
I can't seem to get this to install from recovery. I always get installation aborted.
Any reason why? I seem to be stuck with Oxygen...

SGS+ I9001 Question

Hi everyone in this forum,
Just a quick question, a friend of mine owns a SGS+ I9001 and he's running stock rom, I wanted to install a custom rom for him, (I know I'm not supposed to ask these kind of questions) which rom do you recommend me, it needs to be as stable, fast and battery friendly as possible, I hope you could help me, thank you very much before hand!
Have a nice one!

I'm using Ivendor's CM10 alpha 6 now. It works very well. But you should read in the SGS+ section what rom is the best for yourself. For myself Ivendor's CM10 is the best because I have now JB working on my phone like on a nexus device.
I agree that ivendor's Kernel are one of the most snappier ever so far.
Thank you guys, thank you very much, just another question, is ivendors CM10 stable enough for a person that knows very little about android to use as a daily driver? Thanks again!

NO, it's not perfectly stable, because it's an ALPHA release, however most of us use it as a daily ROM. One or two random reboots in one month, some minor freezes - I think it's worth it, the performance is outstanding, especially with some 3.x.x. kernels. Anyway, wait for RC version, if you want stock rom - like stability.
You could also try one of the CM9 releases. They've been around longer and are probably more stable than the CM10 ones.
I'm using arco's release (can be found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650615) which has only very few quirks left. The only ones I run into sometimes are a problem with the compass (something strange is going on with the magnetic field sensor) and GMail / Facebook occasionally display only a white screen (which can be fixed by killing and restarting the app) (which can be mapped onto long-pressing the back button).
There's also ivendor's release, which has some other fixes but hasn't been updated for quite some time. There's also a number of remixes, an AOSP release by broodplank, AOKP, and MIUI.
Basicly, there's a list here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901212
The JB's are bound to have some bugs, don't flash them if you don't plan on updating as well. ICS is probably rather stable and most GB releases are probably stable as well.
Fastest: probably AOSP (so brood's release) and JB (project butter and all)
Most battery-friendly: GB
Stable: anything but JB

I'm using Ivendor's CM10 alpha 6 now. It works very well. But you should read in the SGS+ section what rom is the best for yourself. For myself Ivendor's CM10 is the best because I have now JB working on my phone like on a nexus device.

I agree that ivendor's Kernel are one of the most snappier ever so far.

NO, it's not perfectly stable, because it's an ALPHA release, however most of us use it as a daily ROM. One or two random reboots in one month, some minor freezes - I think it's worth it, the performance is outstanding, especially with some 3.x.x. kernels. Anyway, wait for RC version, if you want stock rom - like stability.

You could also try one of the CM9 releases. They've been around longer and are probably more stable than the CM10 ones.
I'm using arco's release (can be found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650615) which has only very few quirks left. The only ones I run into sometimes are a problem with the compass (something strange is going on with the magnetic field sensor) and GMail / Facebook occasionally display only a white screen (which can be fixed by killing and restarting the app) (which can be mapped onto long-pressing the back button).
There's also ivendor's release, which has some other fixes but hasn't been updated for quite some time. There's also a number of remixes, an AOSP release by broodplank, AOKP, and MIUI.
Basicly, there's a list here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901212
The JB's are bound to have some bugs, don't flash them if you don't plan on updating as well. ICS is probably rather stable and most GB releases are probably stable as well.
