Hi, can any1 among yu guys make a mod for our SGSA to kill apps by holding back key. This is a very useful feature as if u r playing any game nd if it slows down yu can just hold back key to kill the running apps.
Thanks.

Its a lot more easier to make a Long press Menu button to Kill apps functionality. Because as far as I know, long pressing back button opens (and closes) Multiwindow - which we don't have but since the codes are still there, all those codes will either have to be removed or replaced by new ones to get the function you're asking for.
So, that's why to avoid all that hard work, I enabled Long press Menu button to Kill apps functionality on my ROM (Sami OS). If you're interested, then you can try my ROM or I can help you enable it to your current (stock based) ROM by yourself
EDIT: I think HarshJelly ROM has the feature you're asking for. Give it a try :good:

Any apps to make it open something else?
Thanks.
there are plenty
quicksettings
quickdesk
handcent sms
are a few off the top of my head
i used to have a bunch more, but i have since uninstalled after trying nearly all the apps i want to try
(these will allow you to launch them by long press. i dont know if you can replace the short press)
Pretty sure short press is not easily changed. With froyo though longpress opens Google voice commands.

Nice.
Thank you.
id be interested in a kernel or rom that would allow this to be changed. long press on menu opens search so why a seperate key that can be usefull as something else? can any of those apps change the short press? ive only seen long press on search and on home.
I use visual task switcher and assigned the long press of the search key to bring up a list of currently running apps. Pretty handy.
I installed "screen lock" and assigned it to screen lock to take some stress off the power button.
I don't remember where, but I found a post somewhere on how to change it, short press on mine opens camera.
Button Shortcut in the market.

wow, this is an old thread, for those interested dragon remaps the key as camera launch.
can be done in button remapper. also touch jestures can be mapped as keys in galay tuner.
for people who want to get custom and dont see the otions they want in button remapper, i think the key table is in /system/usr/keylayout/s3c-keypad.kl
this is good for fixing i9000 roms (partially) when no kernel is available for those who want to try samsung gingerbread
I like the long press for google voice search. Thanks for the idea.
If you end up flashing a ROM, CM7 has a way to change the search key in the settings menu
I took a look at the system/usr/keylayout/s3c-keypad.kl file but I'm having trouble figuring it out. Anyone know how to get more info on it? Would love to map QuickDesk to it

OK.. I have the issue, seems quite random with the Search button. Am wondering if it is related to moisture from my palm (right-handed)... not sure. Will have to try the rice trick.
Have also taken a look at the remapping option, but don't seem to have write permissions to any of the files, much less, what values to place in the file(s).
Any assistance would be appreciated on teh edit option.
BTW: Captivate with CM7.1 (and a functional GPS after a number of patch/fixes applied)
cm7 has this option.
Hi guys, Im using Owains ICS KANG and found this cool tweak http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450138 in the Nexus S Forum and would like to know if someone can tell me how to apply it to the LGP990? I want to remap the search button to the ICS recent apps button. I know that pushing the home button for short time results in the same action, but Im not using the search button anyway and I would like to have a quick acces to the recentapps, but like I said I have no clue how to do it!
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
After working myself into the stuff I found the solution myself , for the people which had the same issue, you have to edit the file "nvodm_touch.kl" in system/usr/keylayout. There you have to search for "key 217" and replace the "SEARCH" with "APP_SWITCH", tada you have recent apps on the search button .

good job , but cm9 you can hold "home" key for a moment, that will be recent task

Hey guys,
i need two mods for my new CM7.2 rom.
1) sms letter-counter. for example 120/149 u know? i don´t want to have another sms-app, b´cause the ori is the best for me
2) for ram-killing, in miui roms, i need only to press the home-button for a long time, than i can kill with a button the apps.
can s.o. create mods like this?
1) I'm not entirely sure but I think CM SMS app already shows you the counter if you are closing to the limit.
2) In CM Settings you can set long press back button to kill the active app.
Holla!
1. The CM app shows after 30 characters the the amount of characters, you can activate this in the setting.
2. You can bind the long press on the home screen to a specific program. I bind it to an autokiller, kinda like the same as in CM9 only less smooth!
Goodluck!!
greetzz..
Wyckson
okey, the problem with the ramkiller is done thanks a lot ..
but where can i choose the setting, that i can see the sms limit?
cannot find it
EDIT: Done! thanks!
Since I have seen mods for long pressing the back button to call up the menu, I was wondering if any devs were working on a mod to kill the current app by long pressing the back button. Using the menu overflow 3 dot button is just fine for me, and really miss the kill app function from Jelly Bean on an old evo 4g.
Thanks!
AFAIK there are a few roms that have included back to kill
I've seen kernels with logo to menu or back to menu, but I haven't seen back to kill in any descriptions of roms or mods. I'm trying to avoid flashing a new rom, I only rooted to freeze the sprint id app through titanium. But for back to kill...
tranquil rom

Just take the dive. Its nice in the water

You can flash lp back to kill from this post. If you don't like it, you can flash lp back to menu from the same post. Thanks to Timberwolf671. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41327584

Well you probably know the mod for long press back key to kill the app..
I don't like killing apps.. it causes troubles.. and I also have another ideas for that..
I was thinking.. when you are on facebook or file browser and you wanna close it.. a single back would just return 1 step backward..
and if you have been awhile on this app you might need like 10 clicks on the back key..
So instead of killing the app. maybe just make it press the back key like 100 times in a second so it will go super back quickly to your home screen..
Also for recent apps, instead of swiping 1 by 1 (even though you can add a clear-all button but still), let it clear them all by it self when you long press the recent apps button..
I know how to make these stuffs on tasker as a task but I can't reach the trigger for long pressing key.. and it sure wont work good as programming it for real..
Perhaps any dev here that would like to take this on? or maybe an already mod for customizing the long press buttons available?
Thanks !
