[Q] Stock Browser+Quick Controls+Full Screen=No Bookmarks Button?

In the stock browser, I have enabled the Quick Controls and Full Screen options. The results are brilliant.
However, it is a bit of a chore to get to my Bookmarks. Anyone have any shortcuts?
I usually press the quick control for the tabs a little longer than normal before letting go which shows all the tabs. The bookmark button appears on the top right. Don't know if there's a faster way.
If you press and hold the "back" screen button, for a couple of seconds -- the bookmarks / history / saved pages will be there.

[Q] Home button returns to last use Home Screen

Ok, I have search and search around the web but cannot find answer. (sorry if this question has been asked but I did try and search)
At the moment say you have a short cut to an app on one of your home screen that is not the default home (centre screen), when you press the Home button to exit the application it returns you to the centre default home screen instead of the home screen you launched the app from. Is there anyway to change that or a patch to put on the phone?
I know you can press the back button to do this, but just wanted to know can it be done via the Home button.
I am on Sense 3.0 by the way, not using any other launcher.
You can't, when you press the Home button you basically launch the Home app, in your case Rosie, and it launches with your default home screen first.
To put it simply, you can't.

Oh well, I guess there wasn't any harm to ask... I do think it is a bit stupid in my opinion... hehe.

Best way to 'close' apps + folder problem

Hi, first thing, this is my first Android phone and I understand I should press the back button to close out of apps rather than press the home button. So this means if I have been surfing for a while, I have to press back, say 20 times, going backward through all the pages I've visited, until I reach the first page opened and the browser will close.
I know I can press home to close, then press the right menu button to bring up the recent apps and swipe the browser away, but isn't there a better way to close out of programs? I thought maybe holding the 'back' button would force close it but it just brings up the browsing history.
2nd: I'm finding that some programs do not go into certain 'folders' while it goes into other folders, what is causing this?
Thanks.
On cm10 or any custom rom actually has the option in developers options to "long press back to kill app" if you don't have that option the only way is it press the home button hit the recent apps button not the menu button and swipe it away. How is that hard? Its much harder to do the same task on iOS.
Also I'm not too sure what you mean by the folder deal can you take a screenshot and upload it here. ( hold power + volume down.)

The browser is a unique case where you don't have to back out. The best way is just close the current tab, or all tabs you have open, to close the browser. You don't go 20 pages back for browser closing. But for all apps yes back button is the best way to close apps when you're done.
Lol wow... I do that all the time and completely forgot thanks.

[Q] Wake device up faster?

It's a little annoying that it takes 3 seconds for the screen to turn on from standby mode. It was almost instant on my Galaxy Note. Is there a way to make it faster?
Also, is there a way to configure the home button when you press it in? By default, it opens a web browser, but I'd rather see the power off options or something more useful.
Thanks. ^^

bro both of these things are different
also this is not due to lag or bad hardware it is by default and you cannot change it so stay with it
also about that home button thing open settings see if you can find something

What launcher are you using? On default TW home key goes to home page. Double click opens S Voice (you can turn this off in settings), long hold opens Google Now.
This is just unbelievable how long does it take to wake up for this Tab. One of the worst things about it!

"Back" button function as "back" in web browsers. Possible ?

Hey
Here is what i noticed and what annoys me.
When i click on the link and during loading website, sometimes its a second , sometimes a lot longer (like this forum) i wanna abort loading page and go back to previous page when i clik back button (soft keys/navbar) it in forst place abort loading page and then going back which means its 2 steps. I can do the same with, for example Opera browser. But with opera its 1 step. Pressing "<" button gets me to previous page immediatelly. It aborts loading page+gets me back. Can i give....hmm how to say it a "power" of back browser button to softkey "back" ?
Its easier for me to use navbar keys to navigate in internet. I just dont want to double click "back" button to actually get back 1 step
There is an Xposed module for chrome PIE control.
It must be for Opera something
