The feature was introduced in Cataclysm.
Currently on latest 7.12, rooted.
Is there any chance of making this happen on my device.

I noticed a feature in Omni Rom that I really liked.
If you hold the Recent Apps button, it will immediately switch back to your most recent app.
Does anyone know of a method to get this feature on other roms that don't have it?
I'm currently running CM 10.2 on a Nexus 4 and didn't see it in there.
Issue: Having anything I do interrupted by random, useless WhatsApp messages or other notifications because of Google's glorious decision to force iPhone-style intrusive notifications on us with Lollipop
After doing some research, I've found a ROM called Cataclysm that seems to fix this problem nicely. Problem being, its dev only cares about outdated devices like the Nexus 5.
I've tried the SlimSaber and BlissPop ROMs, both of which feature a supposedly working option in the app-specific notification settings.
However, on neither of these, the switch actually changed anything.
I've tried enabling WhatsApp's internal "Show a pop-up" to "When screen is off", and that's partially a solution. Now, as long as the screen is on, notifications move nicely to the status bar: Just where they belong. Problem being: Whenever the screen is off, I get the useless pop-up whenever I receive a message (Working as intended though, not WhatsApp's fault).
I remember that, mid-December, a LiquidSmooth Lollipop build (03/12 or 08/12) did not feature such notifications, which was amazing. It did randomly restart every 10 minutes or so though.
Have any of you found a solution for that issue? I'm sure I'm not the only one being annoyed by Google's awesome new features, this alongside with the removal of silent mode.
It's the first time for a long while I've held back on getting to newer Android version, because right now, Lollipop is just crap in these two aspects. Here's to hoping Android 5.1 will unf*ck most of these errors.
I've finally found a temporary workaround.
Using a version of Whatsapp previous to 4.11.444 results in Whatsapp actually respecting the settings.
Why this was removed in 444, only the mildly incompetent developers are Whatsapp are ever going to know.
Still, I had hoped Google would be a bit more thorough with enforcing settings - not allowing individual devs to override global settings.
Exclude app from "clear all" on Recent Apps screen after 2016-03-15 OTA update?
On the 2016-03-15 OTA update they added the "clear all" button to the Recent Apps screen. Unfortunately it also kills the Alarm Clock Xtreme process and the alarm no longer works.
Is there a way to exclude certain apps from being killed?

Same thing here! especially with whats app, i do a close all or swipe and it closes the foreground and background task, i just want foreground to be off. This cause me to not receive me notification UNTIL i open the app, i have no issues with this on my lg or galaxy. On the Blu there's a press and hold option on the recent apps, but when you hold it it just goes back to the previous screen. Am I missing something here? Ive had nothing but hell with the phone and especially with the 504 error, which they fixed, but that took WAY too long. And dont let me get started with customer support!
Update - Started seeing issue with 3rd party keyboards, i prefer swiftkey as my go to. And when i swipe the app close, after i have set my keyboard it constantly defaults. this was not present on the previous update. I thought the 504 error was bad but this cuts the cake. Very very frustrating!!! My workaround was to disable every keyboard even system to allow it to run. I guess the recent apps is broke, need to be corrected!
you can install system manager .apk and system manager sdk.apk from gionee E8 ,
I have posted it before on another thread after install it . you can hold on clear buttom it i'll open process white list add any thing want to not close.
Me too i Started seeing issue with 3rd party keyboards, i always use swiftkey. But the dam keyboard set constantly to defaults after the update. Even worst some time the key board set to touchpal that i unable to get rid off, this was not present on the previous update.
I prefer Android standard layout from left to right, BACK, HOME, RECENT_APPS. Is there any way to swap BACK and RECENT_APPS?
An app called "Buttons remapper" works great for swapping capacitive keys on my Samsung Galaxy S4, but on the Mi-4c, it only works to remap the BACK button, but can't remap RECENT_APPS.
UPDATE: Nevermind, remapping MENU worked. Thought I'd tried it and it didn't work, but now it seems to.
Correct, it's "menu" on this device. But for a better solution, I suggest Xposed with "Xposed additions" module.
I figured out why Menu appeared not to work the first time, I probably killed the app in the recent apps/task manager and that reset all the accessibility settings required to make it work. I learned that I have to lock it in the task manager so it doesn't get killed.
I haven't yet figured out how to root on this device to run Xposed. Actually, Kingroot does work, but I hate it because it seems to install with it some adware. I get a random app pop up in the Play Store quite frequently. The method of root that I found linked from XDA describes downgrading ROMs, unlocking bootloader, then re-upgrading. However, I can't even find the MIUI 8 Global Stable ROM for this anywhere. I found this China ROM:
http://en.miui.com/thread-424326-1-1.html
Says on there, "There's no global ROM for Mi 4c as this device is sold officially only in China." However, my device shipped with a global ROM. Weird.
Morning,
So I purposely went from running a lineage based ROM to a locked bootloader and TW on 4.4.2. I am happy with it. Battery life is better and things like the compass work now. I am currently runnng the PaulPizz ROM, so I am rooted.
I am using an app called "Button Mapper" to remap my buttons to a style more to my liking. What I would like to know is if there is more of a lower level way of doing this, like some build prop edits or something? I would like to remap my buttons without running a service in th background... I can look into Xposed, but I imagine it may be tricky, being that I am on a several year old KitKat OS, and I don't know how it works as far as whether or not it makes lower level changes to the system or just runs as a background service.
Thanks for your time!
