So, uhm, never seen this before.
No, I had not told it to do a barrel roll, and yes Chrome displayed normally in the full window.
You must have hit the home button right as it was doing an animation (like swiping away a tab), thus it used that "screenshot" as the thumbnail

I'm 99.9% sure that I didn't, and this was after unlocking the phone - so i'd have had to have swiped and jumped (fast!) to something else and then.... It's a longshot, but probably the only explanation that makes sense. Still, I think I'd prefer to believe that kitkat plays games when I'm not looking.
Happens if you press the recents button while rotating the phone.

Okay, that is something I may well have done, thanks!
Weird that I've never managed to do/notice this up till now. Just slightly saddened to realize that there aren't actual playful sprites inside my phone.
This is nothing new. I've seen this going all the way back to ICS/CM9 on my Nexus One.

Open Market and type in Screen Off and Lock, download it and set it up as old tv style lock, but the problem is that if you press the power button, the phone will close normally, you have to press the screen off and lock button to make it show the off animation. Is it possible if it could be implemented for the power button on the epic?
Thanks
I just downloaded it. Its pretty cool. Like you said it would be alot better if it would work by hitting the power button.

The difference is that this has nothing to do with modifying the framework for the screen on/off animation but rather mapping an app to work with the power button.

Well, there isn't anything in the sdk that allows for mapping the power button, at least to my knowledge, but perhaps a dev with a bit more knowledge on the subject would care to chime in on it.

Except the little detail where apps can't be mapped to the power button.
just use the remap long press search button option....how often do people really use google voice actions? you can just make a shortcut on the desktop for voice actions.
I can't even find this app on th market anymore ?

I have Phiremod 6.3 and the NOOK Andoid app doesn't allow me to click on the search button on the top of the app. None of the app's top buttons work. Is anyone else having this issue or know a solution. Yes, I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still no dice.

We have this issue with my wife's NC
The search button "does" work-ish if you can find its spot lol
I feel like the touch zone went from being the whole area of the button, to a single pixel in the dead center of it.
if we keep touching A LOT right around the center, you'll catch it.
Its REALLY annoying
I haven't found any solution yet.
I just click the search button in the status bar and it works exactly the same as the search button at the top of the Nook app would.

I have this exact same problem but even with some of the other buttons in the Nook reading software. It's extremely frustrating and I was hoping there was a fix for it. Those buttons on the top right are nearly impossible to use and the drop box menus are also very faulty. No tips to fix this?

Yes, I've read the same thing. Same problem as well. If they offered a Menu that duplicated those functions I'd not care a bit.
Those curst buttons aren't working on my NC, so I won't be using this app until B&N fixes it.
My search button works but the menu button doesn't, go figure. B&N tech support said to use the stock software, not CM7... >:C
Is there a way to switch between apps with just a swipe, instead of pressing the home button and then launching the app each time. I need something similar to Dell Stage, where you swipe to move from one page to another, but it will be from one app to the other.
The reason for my need: I use Evernote for my public speeches, but I also reference the internet and need to access a browser, in my case I am using Opera. I need to switch back and forth between Evernote and Opera during my speech, and using the home button each time is to cumbersome. If I can just swipe the screen to switch back and forth between apps would be ideal.
Wave launcher might help

Ah I see what you mean now. You could configure it to swipe from the side (instead of the bottom) with only evernote and opera in the list then it is just as you describe only instead of swiping the whole way to switch between the two you stop the swipe halfway to switch. You could also limit it to just two apps in the launcher so its easier. Just a thought though.
I think that kind of functionality would have to be built into the OS like it is in webOS and on the playbook.
Here's a video of me trying to do what I think you are trying to do

I have no affiliation with wave launcher by the way. I got it for free from Amazon in May and love it.

Yea, I did gave it a tried, but I ran into trouble with Swipepad. My Streak 7 is in a leather case, and the case cover portion of the screen around the sides, when I placed my finger on the side to swipe, Swipepad does not recognize my finger because the edge of the screen is covered by the case, so I can't swipe.
You know, honeycomb has a task switcher built in that stays visible when you run most, if not all, apps. If you wanted that, either wait for the official release from dell in september out give dj_steve's honeystreak a try. I've been running it on my ds7 for a while now and it gave new life to my tab.

Hi, for the first time ever I am considering using a 3rd party browser. But this is not the topic of this thread. What I am curious about is whether or not you guys have the same stock browser problem as I do.
This bug has never happen to me until the latest OTA update for the D3. When I try to close some browser tabs, it brings to that page instead of closes it. Sometimes I need to press the close button several times (sometimes 5) in order for the close to register properly.
I'm using the Verizon Motorola Droid 3.
Does this happen to you?
Since the day Oeramini and Operamobile were released I haven't opened the android's stock browser a single time.
Like you, the stock browser was having "issues" here and there. I didn't bother looking up any fixes, and just went with Opera Mini.
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
OP:
It's cause the close button is tiny and you keep missing it.
It used to happen to me all the time, then I learned to aim.
You'll get the hang of it
This phone comes with a stock browser? When I logged into google the first thing it auto-downloaded was dolphin HD.

It only did that because your apps r set to back up on googles servers...so when u activate a google account on an android phone it puts all your apps on it. So yes, of course there's a stock browser!

Sometime, the problem may be caused by the touch-screen. From dev side, the touch point which is sent to browser is not correct. The 3rd-party browser would be a better choice. Stock browser really lack some feature which other browser did a great job.
You can try Boat Browser. Check it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308752

Exactly, long press seems to fix the issue 25% of the time. But 25% is rough guess and is still an annoyingly small amount.
The issue did occur before update, but it didn't occur ever so often.
Please, I just want people to confirm that this is an issue on everyone elses device.
I was just playing around with my Nexus 7 and I came across a neat and convenient trick to dispose of a app from the app drawer that you may have mistakenly selected and you only get three options uninstall, app info or simply drop the app on the home screen of your Nexus device. Well, there's a fourth option! Simply long press a app from your home screen or app drawer. Then, fling your finger that's holding down the app down up and release! That's it! From the home screen you don't have to take a app all of the way up to the white x remove then red release delete. From the bottom or where ever that app is on your screen you want to remove or replace, just press and hold the app you want to remove, fling your finger in motion down then up release and watch it fly away off of your screen! I think this only works with Jelly Bean, but this my friend is very convenient!

It shows a lockscreen-style circle for that. Kinda unnecessary, but cool. A quick swipe up from the home button works just as well.

There's an easter egg in the settings app. Go into "about tablet". Tap the version number many times. After that, press and hold the Jelly Bean.

That is actually launching Google Now. If you do not have search history turned on for your google account, you will only see a google search.
If you have history, it will show more information cards.

If you long press either the back button or the multi-window button (I forget the technical name of it) and swipe up it will bring up google now as if you were holding down the home button.
