Long-press back key to force quit - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
I recently began to use Roms which is based on stock again, and one of the feautures i miss the most from cm7/miui is the ability to force-close an app with a long press on the back key.
Does anyone know of a MOD or something that can enable this feature on stock roms?
Or can point me in the right direction or something?
Would be awesome to have it on stock roms!!

FC appears when an app is stucked, at least this is happening to me. If I keep pressed back button, it will display a dialog.

On stock roms you can view the running programs through the inbuilt program monitor and close them .

I think it's a feature of CM
I could be wrong

Yes, but this isn't the same, nor as easy.
I'd hope for this feature too, as I'm about to go from a Droid 2 with CM7 to a Droid 4 ... root will give me most of the things I want, except this.

In galaxy s2 you can use jk deluxe settings (search it) to use this function on stock (need root) rom

Settings>Developer options
First activate them at the top, then head to the bottom of the list, the entry furthest down is the one you want.
This should work for any ROM with dev options available, which frankly I think is everyone...

Its a ROM specific function and as far as I know there is not any mods available sadly

[Q] Invert menu & search button?

Hej, i use more than one Android and on other, search is at left & menu at right, it always make me confuse so i wonder : Is there a way to invert them? Other question : When we'll use ICS on the Note, will there be choice to have either capacitive, virtual button, or both? Or will still have to use capacitive?
No man there is no way of inverting the buttons.What you ask requires some extreme code editing in kernal side which might even brick your device.Officaial ICS release date is not specified till now by samsung.You can check custom roms and leaked ICS if you want to try it.What do you mean by virtual buttons?All the buttons below the screen are capacitive touch buttons except the physical home button
What i meant by virtual button is just buttons in screen like on galaxt nexus.

It is very easy to do, in a similar way to how I remapped hardware keys. See here:

[Q] Getting virtual buttons on the LaNight 9.3

Hi fellow Cappy-ites
I have been using Roms from the guys at SlimRoms, SlimBean being the latest. I installed LaNight 9.3 last night and everything is just not what i was used to . I'd like to know how i can get some of the customization features i had with SlimBean in the LaNight rom, like activating the virtual buttons and changing its size, changing the screen resolution etc.

I've never flashed LANIGHT, although, changing your dpi should be somewhere in either ROM control or settings. As for the virtual buttons, should be in ROM control.
Those are kinda shots in the dark, you'll most likely get a better answer in LANIGHT's thread.

Oh I see, you don't have enough posts just yet.
Like I said, I never used LANIGHT but I figured I would give it a shot. In LANIGHT's features, are those 2 there? They might not be cooked into the ROM at all

Well there's your answer. All the 4.2 ROMs are on Beta/early stage atm, you won't get all the features you've been getting in 4.1 just yet.
Also, I thought that ROM was supposed to be a pure AOSP ROM, so I would not expect features that aren't included in stock android. You are probably expecting features like the ones Slim Bean and CM have, but this won't have those.

I'll thank you now, I've only just seen your post.
I've settled on Alliance Rom beta 1.1, it's only missing hotspot and torch toggles that I care about. Home button torch, volume rocker, snote, erm..... tired cant think haha almost everything I want works
I go away a week on monday for 6 months (no, not prison haha) so I'm kind of hoping come June/July Official JB would have been released and been all dev'd up by then. For the sake of a week I think I'm going to stay on Alliance, feel free to keep adding recommendations though guys. If you come across a Rom that has all 6 listed below add it here, the more the merrier
1. Volume Skip Track,
2. Hotspot, Torch Toggles,
3. Home Button Lockscreen Torch,
4. S Note/Suite by the summer hopefully lol,
5. Resizeable Windows,
6. CRT Effect On/Off without bugs....
Untill next time, Peace out

Hold - back to kill current app

This is the main feature on that I miss, the possibility of killing the open app by holding back button.
It's a very simple procedure, and I'm sure that there's Tasker script to do this, but do you know any app that can do this on any rom? I don't have Tasker and don't intend to buy it.

which rom are you using? cm10/10.1 has this option
developer options > (scroll to the bottom) kill app back buton (turn it on)
back button has to be pressed for a while (second or two) to kill the foreground application...
Ow, I'm sorry. I was saying that this is the main feature I miss on stock roms; I always used this on cm. But what I find funny is that it looks a very simple work to do, and very useful also (e.g. killing that wrong app you opened before its 10s to open), but I can't find it on play.

I miss it too, along with the hold volume to change tracks when standby, anyway stock ics (dmx to be accurate) is much better than cm imo.

[Q] how to Force notifications in expanded form ?

Hi
One of the quirks that I have with my new HTC one is that notifications always come in short form and I have to use 2 finger swipe to expand it.
AFAIR on my Galaxy S2, if new mail comes the gmail notification was in expanded form and I can easily archive or reply the mail.
Is there any way to force notification always to show up in expanded form
Regards
My one comes today. That sort of defeats the purpose, no? Darn htc.
yup thats sad
hope to get a solution soon

It's because only the top notification is expanded by default in jb. Power saver is in your way and not likely ever to change. I'm running viper rom and it can be disabled in viper controls. Works fine. See if manage apps has power saver listed. You might be able to disable notifications for it there.

I doubt it. That's just how jb works. It would get pretty cluttered. I mean it might be possible idk. But I've never seen such a thing. I highly recommend viper Rom. It's smooth as heck and you won't miss anything from stock. I'm running it with tl's wolfpack kernel at 2ghz with sweep2wake and logo2menu (makes htc logo into menu button). Only thing is the latest viper is on the new base from htc as of last night so custom kernels won't work right until source its released so they can be updated. I'm waiting for that before I update viper. I'm sure you can dl the older version if you wanted to run a custom kernel. It's 1.0.4

I'd just like to be able to expand them with one finger. I wonder why HTC messed with that. Hopefully that gets fixed when 4.2 comes.

Any jb Rom. The power saver notification is what prevents it because it's first. Viper allows you to disable it. If you don't have it at the top of your notifications, do you have a quick settings type app or any other notification pinned to the top?
