After using an app, what is the correct way of close/exiting it?
I usually just press the home key or back key on the S4 phone to close the app, not sure if it is really closed, or maybe still running at background.
Thanks

You are doing it properly. Also, in Settings, you can go to Developer options and select the option to kill a process as soon as it is left.
Don't forget to use the Thanks button!

" in Settings, you can go to Developer options and select the option to kill a process as soon as it is left." > Could you explain step by step where to find this? I am at the home page, I click the Menu button and click Settings, I did not see any developer options. Using Samsung S4.
Go to settings, tap "About phone" 7-8 times, and it will unlock the "Developer options" menu under Settings.
Then, to find the setting you are looking for, go to Settings > Developer options and scroll down until you see a setting called "Don't keep activities" which has a description saying "Destroy every activity as soon as the user leaves it"
I use a Sony Xperia so some of the terms may be different from your phone but basically that is what you have to do...

I used quickmenu a lot on my Tilt, but not yet on the TP. If I remember correctly someone cooked a rom with quickmenu built-in. You might try searching through the rom threads to find one that has it cooked in, and pm the chef with your questions. Sorry I couldn't be more help...good luck

To reactivate the task menu, go to
- QuickMenu > Option... > View > [_] Show battery on taskbar
- Settings > System > Task manager > Button > [v] Activate menu
(the English words may be a little different as I have another language on my phone).

Do you mean that you need to hold on the "Q" icon to keep the menu open, and that the menu closes as soon as you lift up your finger? I have never had this problem, I just click once and the menu stays open.

Yes, I say that I have to click on "Q" to activate the Q's start menu, and once I use it (clicking on), the second time clicking it appears the windows's standard menu, and to see quick's menu again I have to click again on the "Q"

Now I understand, this is quite strange. This could happen if you press the "Q" icon for a long time.
Maybe you can try the option "Replace system's start-menu" under the General tab (+ exit and start again QuickMenu). I don't know if it will help, but you can try and see what happens.
I'm sorry I don't have a better answer.

in "QucikMenu",Check "Replace system's startmenu".
then "setting">"system">"TouchFLO"===>don't use large startmenu
my rom is CHS,maybe the words are different
thank you all, i did what you said and now it is working good, i makde what raphel said, and what u said too vance, rebooted the systen and now all is ok
thanks
So ocassionally, I'll get no automatic spacing in swype and it won't let me disable it by swyping from the space bar to del. I've looked up how to disable it and it says that I can do it from the advanced settings by tapping the swype button in the lower left corner, but when I tap it, it takes me to a screen that says it's not sure what I wanyed to do and gives me options for hints or a tutorial, but nothing for a settings or.advanced setttings menu. I also tried pressing and holding, but that just gives me hints. Can someone tell me how to access the advanced menu with the swype button instead of going to phone settings and disabling it from there?
Push lower on the swype button. The (i) and the S are different entities according to the GUI.

Thanks for replying but it doesn't seem to make any difference were I tap on the swype button. They same prompt comes up asking for tips or tutorial. No advanced setting.
Okay, using it right now, there is a button on the lower righthand corner that says options. That will take you to swype settings.

I have been using the latest CM10 stable build (cm-10.0.0-ville.zip) for a while now, and it's all been great. But I never noticed until now, in some applications there's no way of getting into the settings of these applications as there's no menu button showing.
For example, WhatsApp Messenger should have some 3-dot-menu-button-overlay but it's not showing anywhere. Is this a known issue for the latest CM10 build, or is it just me being stupid?
I already enabled this, and rebooted: Settings > System > Hardwarebuttons > Show 3-dots menu button in apps
You should be able to enable the recent apps button to open menu in system settings...

I know I should, but how is this achieved other than enabling the 3-dotted menu-bar button?

Nah I don't think long pressing home will work... If you go to phone settings look for an option like enable custom action. It will be inside a different option .that's not exactly what it says but similar... And you will be able to enable long press actions on your keys..

It does on Dark Jelly out-of-the-box.
Is there a way to change the soft buttons left/right? (I want to have the back-button on the right side). On the HUAWEI P8 or Mate there is a option in the Settings to choose which functions the soft buttons sould have. Anay way to do this on the Idol 3?
It's a developer option "RTL". Go to settings, then go to the bottom of settings list, tap about phone, look through lost for build number, tap the build number multiple times till it says you are now a developer, then tap back arrow till you get back to your Main settings, then scroll back down to the bottom of the settings list, you will notice a new setting option that says Developer Options, tap that setting button, then scroll through the list and look for RTL, tap it once. Problem fixed.
If you are on a custom Rom then let me know which Rom and I will help you.
Thanks, but this turns the whole phone to "Right To Left" not only change the two Softkeys

There is a way, though it requires root, xposed and the app Gravitybox (Which has loads of diffrent useful mods, including back and recent buttons reverse option. though you can download a app for just this purpose)
I have completely forgotten how to disable my lockscreen. I don't want any type of security when I press the power button. I just want to return to wherever I was when the screen was shut off. I don't want to swipe or anything to return to wherever I left off. I feel like I've searched everywhere in the options but I can't locate this. Thank you in advance.
You have to gain access to the Developer menu first. Follow these instructions:
1. Go to Settings --> About Phone and tap several times on "Build number" (I think you have to tap it 7 times if I recall alright). You'll see a toast notification telling you that you've become a developer (congrats!)
2. After this you'll see a new submenu under Settings, so go to Settings --> Developer options and uncheck "Screen lock". Voilà.
