Almost every app (especially all the main apps I use) start over as soon as you open them after getting out of them for a second (by clicking home button). It doesn't matter if I get out of them and immediately get back on the app, it starts over.
I feel like I'm back using an iphone before they had multitasking.
Sounds like your RAM is almost entirely full for some reason, or your using a task killer. Did you reboot first?
I thought I read there was an option to kill task when you backed out of it? I haven't tried that rom yet though so I can't verify.

You're probably thinking of the long press back to kill current app feature that cm7 has, I think skyraider has it as well.

Skyraider does have the long-press to kill option. It is located under Settings-Applications-Development.

Any one else using go launcher and getting reboots when going into recent tasks and pressing "task manager"?
Sent from my SGH-T989D using XDA App
Nope. Using Go Launcher for weeks now. No reboots. Tried what you said and still good. Sorry

Hrm something must be gimped up then.
Guess I'll remove Go Launcher and try that.
This happens to me maybe one in 10-20 times I use the task switcher soft key. I press the key, press the task I wish to switch to, and another task launches instead. It's always one that is in the switcher, sometimes a very recent one, like 3rd up the list, but sometimes it's from a while ago, like 10 up the list. Had this issue on multiple roms and kernels.
Anyone else?

I'm seriously the only one, or is this already discussed somewhere?

I haven't seen this discussed before which probably means it isn't a common issue. Have you tried asking in the thread of whatever rom you are using ?

I don't know if you're the only one, but its certainly never happened to me. Always opens the app I touch. I'm going to guess if you're not the only one you're definitely one of a rare few, as I've never seen anyone else state such a problem.

Happens to my on AOKP JB Build 4. Either that or it doesn't switch the app (although the app switcher goes away). Usually happens with YouTube though, whether I'm switching from/to YouTube.
I'm on affinity right now, but it's also happened to me on liquid smooth. I will ask in appropriate thread, just wanted to see if it was known or not.

I've had it happen on both my N7 and Gnex. Both running different ROMs

It happens to me. I always thought it was because I wasn't allowing enough time for the task switcher list to "refresh". Ok, so lets say you click task switch button.. back out... then open an app... now tap task switch and select one of the apps really quickly - what happens is that it chooses the wrong one because it hasn't had a chance to refresh. It's like the graphical front end is different than the touch event for a split second before it refreshes the list of recent apps.
What I usually do is wait a second or two before choosing the app and this seems to have solved this problem for me... but it seems that the device shouldn't show anything until everything is completely refreshed. I seem to think this is where they were allowed to make the recent apps list open faster than it did in ICS. ICS opened up a refreshed list but JB opens faster and the list isn't totally refreshed behind the scenes.
That's a good observation. I started waiting a second or two before switching, and now it works good. I noticed I have to wait longer if my phone is lagging a bit or I have a few heavy apps running. Wish it would just work but oh well.

Just like to add, I have the same problem... I'll try the patience .
There is a pretty good article explaining that behaviour on AndroidPolice.
(at least for those instances where it is not caused by some weird lag that some of you described)
Happens to me all of the time, I just recently started giving it a second before giving it a nice strong touch. 4.2 issue I assume?
This problem happens to me as well. I'm running Android 4.1.2 on a Motorola D3
My new Note 2 will not remember default apps. For example, if I install a home screen replacement, every time I hit the home button it asks me to select which to use. Every time I click on a link it asks "Complete action using" with a list off all usable apps. Even when I select always after picking the app. It's done it on 2 different roms. I'm on Jedi-x3.1 atm.
Anybody have any suggestions? It's very annoying.
My first instinct would be to clear cache but I'm new to all this stuff so I may not even be close to right.

I'm thinking it would make more sense to ask in the rom thread if you're not running stock.

I get that on media files. Modded 7501 rom.
When these ROMs first came out the buttons were reversed. Try hitting the other button. This has been fixed, as far as I know

I am totally stock and I am having the same issue.

Probably not much use to anybody else with this problem but I've managed to make it stop by flashing a different ROM.
Every time I reboot my Glide, the phone automatically goes to LauncherPro (good!). However, when I tap the home key (even if I am focused on LPP), I get prompted to change the default launcher. Every time, I tap the checkbox for default, and select LPP. All is well, until I reboot my phone, and the whole process starts over again. Any suggestions?
There should be a lil box asking if u wanna keep said launcher as default...
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app
As I said above, I always click the default launcher checkbox. And on every reboot, it is unset.
Have you tried freezing the offending launcher? If you don't even use it. Then you could even delete the launcher? Problem solved. why keep two launchers in the first place...
Sent from my SGH-i927 using xda premium
I am on an unrooted stock ICS rom, and freezing TwLauncher is disabled (button greyed) through the settings/applications/all menu.
That's your problem. A solution for stock may be a lot harder to come by. The stock launcher will always try to resurface like that. It also still uses its resources.
Sent from my SGH-i927 using xda premium
Is that new to the ICS update? This never happened under the last two versions of GB for the Glide...
can i stop all running apps at once ?
Be more specific. For what, why, and how
I believe that going to the app switcher (square button) then hitting Clear All will close everything.
no ..
even when i close the, they still running i think .. i want to stop them all .. form the app manager

Why exactly? No good can come from doing this.
You can go to developer options and set the process limit lower.

What you're asking to do is pointless and counterproductive. Android manages memory for maximum efficiency already

In theory. Don't forget this is 5.1.0
Closing all in recent tasks will close programs that are not set to always run in the background. Force quitting all apps is pretty pointless though, and if not regularly like a task manager will hurt battery life as the apps fire back up again.
Your best bet is to use Greenify, add all the apps you want quit, and use a custom action like double tap to hibernate and then shut the screen off. This will force quit all applications you select.
