Bumping your thread isnt going to make a reply come quicker, you do realize people read more than just the first page of threads?
But anyhow, the answer is no. "Hold back to kill" is a ROM specific tweak. It is hard coded into android source code by CyanogenMod. I have however had an idea for "hold back to kill" app where the app listens for a Hold search broadcast, then kills the foreground app. But until someone makes something like that. The only way to get Hold back to kill is by flashing a CM ROM.
wow i do appreciate your answer. it's nice to see someone adding a littke A to the Q that actually has knowledge on what i was speaking about. nobody else answered because they mostly had no idea what i was talking about. and not to start an argument but I've takin your bumps not needed approach for the few years ive been here and im not exaggerating when i tell you there were many that floated to a back page to sit forever. most peoples idea is that the further back the post is either there is no answer or its an answer there prolly not going to have the answer for since nobody else has by that point. but trust me i see your angle. thanks for your reply and im gonna keep researching on this because I'm almost positive it can be added, it's just how much work is going to be involved and can i do it lol. thanks

It can be added. Ive got it on my list of mods that i want to get around to adding here. Its a mod that requires decompiling a couple of apk/jar files and editing the code. It is one of the few that haven't been added to any of our stock roms so ill probably bump it up the list a bit. We shall see.

I dont think thats possible. Its a ROM source code tweak. As in the source code is changed. So far ive only heard of CM and MIUI Roms having this. Just google it, im sure if it was possible someone would have already done it. I mean it requires editing the complete layout of the settings window. Unless you just change a jar file to listen for the hold back and then have it kill it.
But if you know how to do it, can you share what files need to be edited? Ive seen this question pop up almost everywhere and even ROM devs say its only possible via kitchen. But hey you learn something new every day
I could swear ive seen it ported to other stock roms such as sense and tw. Been a few months since i last looked into it though. Gotta go to work so ill try to find the info for you later today.

It may have been ported. But they may have used a kitchen. Like I've seen stock ROMs have it but I've never seen a ROM without it get it added without cooking a new ROM. But I'll be hitting refresh awaiting the information! ^-^ thanks!

That.
I was just going to say something similar, but perhaps not as nice.
I'm sure you're a real nice fella. But I've watched you start threads over the last few weeks, and every one of them asking really... basic? questions, seemingly unwilling to either try anything yourself, or do any research.
also usually completely ignoring the efforts that people put in to answer your questions, never thanking anyone, nada. (lol, i take that back, as you just did. )
Just look through the CM7 thread, look in the theming section, dig in man! play with stuff! try something, then try something else! it's fun! thats why we are here!

I ported this to DI18 if I remember correctly, all someone would need to do is the smali edit for the clock color and then replace images and it should be good. I stopped updating it due to lack of interest, maybe someone else could step in and take over. Pm me if interested and I can get you my work dir.

First of all I am not knocking anybody simply trying to figure out myself what really works on the SGH-T989 and what really doesn't. Digging into the inside if my phones files and other resources I discovered alot of things that everybody puts into their build props and int.d tweaks etc. don't really do anything. One source I found was here Pt.1 & Pt.2 http://www.jeffmixon.com/series/examining-build-prop-tweaks-for-android-ics-a-comprehensive-guide/ It's very interesting and this guy is a mobile software engineer so he's not just some jo-schmo talking crap. I found some like - ro.APP_ADJ=1 to lock home into memory ( only really works on GB roms), - profiler.force_disable_err_rpt=1 (only works on HTC devices),- profiler.disable_ulog=1 ( only works on HTC devices), - windowsmgr_max_events_per_sec= anything other than 90 doesn't do anything, - any net.tcp. buffersize tweaks - don't do anything as they are already baked into the init.rc file on the phone. These are just a few I discoverd tinkering around and from other sources through researching.
Other ones that bug me are the music tweaks such as af.resampler=255 or af.resampler=3? Which one really works some use 255 such as the AC!D mod and others such as KingBeatz say it's bogus use 3 instead. So who knows I could not tell the difference myself. Also the sampling rate = 48000 tweak to me it really doesn't work. Yeah you can run a logcat and it will say 99resampling done or whatever. But if you use a player like power amp or other players with the sampling rate visible at the bottom you will see it says 44.1khz . Why? Because in the audiopolicy.conf all the way at the bottom you will see it is set at 44100 sampling rate and if you try to change it to 48000 guess what happens your music player will stop working! So I think the tweak is useless.
A couple more before I go why does half of the roms out there have this in their audioeffects.conf "dolby-dsp.so" located in system/lib/soundfx? 80% of the roms that have this do not have any dolby-dsp.so in soundfx folder so it's pointless! The final one is audioeffectservice.apk on any rom I have ever used it is not installed for REAL!I it is just there for no reason it doesn't do anything. Logcat will say audioeffectservice.apk ignoring invalid files etc. and if you check all of your apps in titanium backup or even your settings app you will not find it. Any app that is actually installed if you click on it wil say something like replace or uninstall depends on what you are doing. Click on audioeffectservice,apk and it will ask you if you want to install it everytime. If it was actually on the phone and served a purpose it would say replace etc. I know I will hear arguments about this but this is just my own observations of stuff that is not needed or doesn't benefit the phone at all. Thanks for letting me put in my two cents for today!
Good post..but next time write in paragraph instead of a writing a wall of text..
I'm quite impressed with your effort in looking in to this subject. I don't do much tweaking myself, however, I agree with you that having any unnecessary code/tweaks (in this case within the build.prop) doesn't benefit the phone and just adds clutter.
Maybe it's also because I'm the type of guy who admits to the classic case of form follows function, ahaha.
I also agree with what qwerty123321, it was an eye-sore to read the post. Perhaps separating your finds into bullet points would help devs/others who will be reading this.

First of all it's "you're". Your is possessive. Fix your grammar or turn on your auto correct.
Second, what part of this thread provides useful information? The only people this information would be useful to are developers.. and since they're DEVELOPERS, you can bet that they already know this information. If not you would have seen devs chime in, but that hasn't happened has it?
Not all these tweaks are useless and it depends on the phone you use them with. We already use build prop tweaks that actually benefit this phone so in turn this thread is absolutely useless.

Bravia Engine is useless too if you don't have a compatible device.
You'll find that also includes apps to the system apps folder which aren't installed at all.
Those who promotes that kind of apps should search more information before saying that are compatible with all ROMS and devices as well.

I would like to put all of the zips and links here in one place that way it helps me and others as well as keeps ROM threads from being flooded with the same question. Thanks in advance
