[Q] Close open app by longpress Back button? - T-Mobile LG G3

Is there a way to get my G3 to force close an app by long press of the Back button? That would be a very valuable feature that I really miss from CM on my previous phone.
This thread seems to explain how to do it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36102714
but I'm not a developer and don't know if that works on our G3's.

Actually, when you touch Recent Task button, you can close an app by wiping the app left or right.

Does it close the app or just remove it from the list?

Does anyone know how to close apps when you hold the middle button down without swiping them all? Task managers don't work. Please see my photo

If you are on stock rom, i'm afraid there is no easy solutions ... i didn't find any myself
On custom rom, some give access to a button to close every running app, CM10 for example, on top right of the screen

How to remove "kill app" feature

I would like to remove the long press menu "kill app" feature in the custom rom I'm running. It removes the search phone function that I prefer over the kill app feature. A lot of roms doing it now. Any help would b appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

MOAR gives you the option to set double tap home to launch google now.
Sent from a planet far far away.
Or you could just install Nova Launcher and swipe up, swipe down, etc to launch Google Now.
I just wanna remove it from the ROM. Thanks for the help and suggestions.

I'd love to get rid of it too.. Frequently part of my finger will press it unintentionally.. Quite irritating when I'm playing Modern Combat 4.
Guess its a no go :banghead:

Hmm...When I'm on my home screen and hold the menu button it still launches google search/now, I'm using the stock launcher. Maybe I'm misunderstanding? Anyhow I don't know how to make it work normal, but maybe asking your rom dev very nicely will bring about a fix for you.:good: Honestly I love the kill app feature.

Way off topic so please excuse me, just like to ask what's your player name? Curious if I've played against you on mc4, I got a bit crazy and ordered the new moga controller the other night, hope it's as good as I've heard.
I already tried asking the Dev but nothing. I'm getting used to it already so it's not bothering me as much

[idea]crt-off

i don't know if it's in the development section or not. But, i have an idea to implement the crt-off animation using third party apps.
for now, i have successfully hook the power button press in my application. since i've done that, here's my idea:
Power Button pressed
my app called by powerbutton
my app screen captured the whole screen and put it into ImageView or something
animate the View by shrink it to the middle
know i have a problem with taking a screen capture using JAVA, since it's third party apps, my application must run in the memory, because the power button doesn't CALL the app, but my app HOOK the power button.
You know it's still idea, reviews are welcome.
It's a bold move, but it might just work!

You can capture the framebuffer for screenshot.But that requires root permissions.To run the app all the time make it a service and capture boot completed broadcast and start service on booting.

[Q] Settings\Display\Home touch buttons - Settings ???

What happened to the Settings Button that you could add to the Buttons across the Home Screen "Settings\Display\Home touch buttons" Settings Button "III" (line are sideways and not straight up)
This button is not available with the G4, I have apps that utilize that button.
Does anyone have any info on this or how you might be able to add this??
Thank you
Try holding down the recent button.

I tried what you had said, that take you to the Phone Settings Menu. I have always in the past used Enhanced Email for my email program. With that app installed there is no way to get into the settings menu. I think that there are a few other apps that you can't get into the Setting Menu for too, but that is my main one.
That's the "info" icon that you are describing. In Android 5.1, this was replaced by the 3 dots icon, typically located on the top right of the app that you're trying to access the menu on.

Yep, holding down the recent apps button will give you the menu option in every app.

Is there anyway to use the fingerprint button as an additional touch button

Just like the Back and AppSwitch button. Touch, not press.
yes, there is an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.easyhome

This apps compatible device list does not include the Tab S, so I'm not sure if it would work.
Sent from my SM-T800 using XDA Premium HD app
I use this app on my 8.4. I can touch (not press) the home button for the home screen. I have the pro version if that matters. Excellent app. The app stops working if you clear all apps, so make sure to open the app if you clear all from the recents menu.

If you installed xposed, there are 2 ways I know that can prevent your issue occurs. Which are Resident and Show In Recent options from App Settings.
