Here is an app that allows you to hold your back button to kill the currently open application.
If popularity is high enough, I will update it with things like whitelist etc.
If you use a Samsung device, the only problem is that you can't show the MultiWindow bar anymore. I will work on a fix for it. I only made this because xposed doesn't work on Samsung Lollipop yet so this is what I wanted until it is. Once it works, I prolly won't ever touch this app again.
Thanks everyone!
UPDATE:
- Performance improvement
useful, thanks for this!!!!
Great job! I've been missing this feature since I switched to Lollipop. Thanks!
hi,
It seems to be working on CM12 but a little too good
Apps get killed right away when i press "back"whatever time-out i set in the settings.

Hello, CM12 with standard navbar (3 buttons) doesn't have that setting. It s only implmented in roms with navbars with extra settings like opening an app etc etc
Having Trouble
I'm having a similar problem where even a single tap on the back button is closing the app. I have a rooted Galaxy S4 running Android 4.4

So this is happening when using the navbar and not the physical buttons?
It seems like the up action isn't being triggered. I could try to implement maybe a double click back to kill option. Ill try to debug on my 5.0 emulator that uses the navbar and see if i can figure anything out. Weird how that's happening.

hello again,
No, i dont use the navbar In cm12 (disabled) I use hardware buttons. If ndg1988 uses stock then he doesn't have a navbar so i guess he uses the hardware buttons too

Hm, I truly don't know then. I really would need the device in hand to test with. I could try to do testing by sending you a file with loads of debug information in it. Would you mind that?

I was just an idiot that assumed the activation time was in units of seconds, not milliseconds. This may be what most people are having trouble with. It works well now, so thank you and keep up the good work.

Awesome - best thing that can happen to a rooted stock rom.
btw its labled "Main Activity" in App Drawer, not "Hold Back To Kill"

Try this out:

Then it will automatically release the touch(approx 10-15 sec) and screen will not respond to touch for approx 2sec......

This sounds like what my Motorola Photon would do. The fix for the Photon is here.

It's a rain drop detection "feature". I don' know if this can be ported or not.

Hi guys,
I tried searching for this but I keep running into very old threads.
I read on Android Central forum that there's a zip file to make Galaxy S3 CM10 have the same exact menu bar as Nexus devices and completely disable the capacitive buttons.
Could someone please point me to this zip file? Also, is it possible that this is already just an option in CM10?
This is honestly the only thing stopping me from getting this phone. Since I have Nexus 7, I don't like how I have to adjust to buttons every time I use my wife's Galaxy S3.
Thank you.

I am running the 9/6 build and i havent had any issues with the ROM.
not one reboot, no screen flicker, everything works for me.
just do a nandroid prior so you can revert back.
if i remmeber correctly, there is a bug that causes the backlights of the keys to stay on. nto sure if its been fixed

I think most CM based Roms have the option to disable the capacitive buttons and enable the on screen navigation bar.
Unless it's been fixed now, when I was running Paranoid Android every time you reboot your phone you have to go back in to the settings and disable the lights on the capacitive buttons.
I'm running AOKP jelly bean and was wondering how I can make the app switch button actually bring up the app switcher and get the soft menu button back.
I've searched up and down and I feel like I must be the only person that wants to do this. I honestly can't stand the delay to bring up the app switcher.

Gah, meant to edit my post to clarify but theres the stupid 5 minute wait. Yeah I looked all over, I don't think AOKP has that option. You can turn on soft buttons but you can't change the hard button functions.

Does your multitask button actually bring up multitasking? If so, there is a way to change it to bring up the menu.. It's probably more hidden in AOKP

No they have it set solely as the menu button. You hold home to bring up multitasking.

Seems like this post got missed...Thanks Shawn. Was having the same issue.
I was under the impression that the AOKP team didn't care to include the functionality. I don't think it's in the current AOKP nightlies or milestones and it definitely isn't in Rohan's King Kang ROM, at least, as of the most recent release (11/25).
As much as I like AOKP, this has always bothered me enough to make me keep CyanogenMod on my phone. It's not even so much about the key setup itself; I can get used to new layouts. However, AOKP's always been about being able to customize the hell out of your phone, so why isn't this a feature when CM10 has had it for some time now?
The instructions to enable system ui tuner on the web don't appear to be working...holding down the sprocket on the toggle screen till it spins doesn't enable the menu...anyone else know how to get to it?
Also still looking for a way (non xposed) to assign long hold of back button to kill foreground app.
Should say system UI tuner added to settings after holding for about 5 seconds.

For me also it worked.
I finally got the thing to appear and I'm still not certain how...I think marshmallow is much more picky about the touchscreen and the glass screen protector I have on it....taps are not being interpreted right all the time....anyway thanks for confirming. Ironically by the time I enabled the menu I had already enabled xposed and found ways to set all the things I woul d have been able to do from system ui.
Hey Guys,
i guess the most of u know the app "Vibrate Mode" from the Oneplus 2. And maybe u also know this app doesnt work anymore.
It seems like there is a method to get those features by using tasker, but i dont like this, since it is still buggy.
Maybe we can reach a dev, who can bring the "Vibrate Mode App" features back to the Oneplus 3, using OxygenOS and root/xposed.
I think there are really really much people out there, which would like to have the ability to change the alert slider to "all - vibrate - silent".
Since this is the only logical function imo. :cyclops:
Please push this thread to heaven, so we maybe get some dev's to work on this! :good:
Cheers!
I've already contacted the devs that made the previous mods. No reply
Use this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nqk.vibratemodeextended
And in settings allow all contacts in alert slider > priority
Works for me
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
If some dev happens to read this I'd love to have more features with the slider. For example best for me would be Normal - Flashlight - Silent etc.
Let's hope someone does this
There's already one xposed module (Alert slider) but it's old and not supporting op3.
for me VibrateMode works perfectly...

Same issue. When sliding back down from Silent to All, it remains in Vibrate :\
I can confirm Tasker works, and should remedy the issue of it remaining on vibrate. I'm now waiting for a way to reverse the slider, and I'm sure a free solution will come along soon enough too.

Are you sure it works? I have tried all the builds and I'm pretty sure this build was the closest as it worked correctly. However, every so often it doesn't go into vibrate mode or doesn't restore the volume level.
