When I start a Tomb Raider (http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/pocketpc/index.html) I can't come out of the game. There is no escape-button so I always have to do a soft reset to go back to desktop.
The same thing happends with most my games
Do someone know what I can do?
to quit tomb raider you must return in the main menù, after then, go on the last page of the passport, and you'll find the exit !!
some games have exit istructions hidden
How do I return to the main-menu?
pushing the camera button brings up the menu.
then down brings you the menu with the passport
Select
turn two pages : tada :idea: : Exit to Title

I have XDA and not XDA II. XDA doesn't have a camera and therefor no camera button
mmm... there should be a button to tap on the screen that allow you to return in the main menù ! otherwise push all the button until you do it

When I start NFS it goes in landscape, of course that´s normal, but when i exit the game (does not matter if by pressing home button or by chosing to exit the game ingame) my whole UI is in landscape and the device does not respond anymore.
Anyone who could help? :/

press windows button, go to settings>system>screen and click to portrait. press ok button and youre done
they are just lame coders, if u want make a mortscript to open app and when it's closed rotates automatically. really easy
Even easier: Start>(any program that has native portrait/landscape support) & then tilt your device to portrait & exit. I normally use File Explorer or Albums.
easiest way is to press the call button
try it and see it worked for me!!!!!!!!
I notice that the pressing the home button while in an app works differently for different apps
For example in Google Maps, when I press the home button, it exits the program
However in the default browser, when I press the home button, it goes to the home screen but the app doesn't exit (it's still visible as running in the task manager)
How do I close the Browser? there's no option to exit it either
Press back button until you get to home screen. That's how you exit most of the applications. If you press the home button, most of the apps will keep running in the background.

This applies to the browser as well?
Wow if I opened up 5 windows, I have to back all the way til the browser closes!

Yes, it applies to browser as well. You can close tabs before pressing back if you don't wanna press the button too many times
Or use dolphin browser which you can exit with only 2 clicks..press menu and select exit..

Another way of closing browser in 2 steps can be, open a new window and hit back button.

Or just hold home button > task manager > exit app you want
Why would you exit it anyway ? Android is made so that you don't need to actually exit your apps. Especially Browser.

Do you mean to say that when I go back to the home screen, the browser cuts off data usage automatically?
(Sorry, coming from Symbian, I'm a total Android noob! )
Browser is put into "idle" mode, so while the app is still kept in memory for quick resume, it doesn't use any CPU power or data.
If your device needs RAM, Android OS will automatically shut down the app to release some memory.
Check out this post for some more details.
I can play games just fine, but how do quit the game and play another. I currently reboot to change games. Thanks.

I think I had the same issue when I first used N64oid. N64oid has "stretch to fit screen" enabled by default. This makes it so that you do not see the status bar (with the necessary menu button on it) during rom play.
I fixed this by starting N64oid anew. You should be at the "select rom" screen. Before loading anything, select the "menu" button. Then select "settings", then "audio & video settings", then uncheck the "stretch to fit screen" box under the video settings. Exit out to the "select rom" screen.
Load your rom. Now you should have access to the status bar with the menu button while in gameplay. To exit out of roms just select "menu, then "more", then "close". Hope that works for you like it did me.
Get "button savior". It will put an unobtrusive overlay on the screen which provides back functionality if you're rooted.

I've also found that in certain games (Angry Birds Seasons for one) that the "N" button works as a back button so I can access the game menus and then I can select "quit". I haven't tried on other games yet but thought I'd throw this out there....

This. I can't say how happy I've been now that I can actually open up menus and go back when the status bar decides to hide those soft buttons, or when an app goes full screen.
I had the problem of not being able to get Terminal Emulator out of white-on-blue text... it was hideous...

I tried the button savior but still cannot exit rom to choose another rom. Did I just miss something?

When you hit the back button on Button Savior what does it do? Shouldn't that exit the current emulation, and allow you to choose another ROM?
Or rather, better: what exactly are you trying with button savior, and what are you getting? Clicking on the back button results in N64roid doing nothing? Or?
It took me awhile to figure out how to use Button Savior until I realized that there was a tiny little translucent trigger-arrow-button to open up the button tray... I don't know what your noob level is though. (That's why I presented my top-level noob experience for you.)

When I hit the back button it does nothing. All other button do not help with this problem. But have enjoyed the button savior app. It is very useful.

Button Savior did not not work in N64oid for me at first either. But after the suggestion to use it in this thread, I went back and was able to get it to work.
The key for me was clicking the menu button (the one with 4 squares in a 2x2 configuration) in Button Savior TWICE. The first time I click the button I get a message that says Button Savior has been granted Super User permissions. The second time I click the menu button I get the options for that menu, like I would if I used the menu button in the Nook status bar.
I think if you are not getting these options then Button Savior may not be functioning properly for you. Maybe reinstall it? Or maybe install another version of it to see if that helps? Good luck!
Button savior has a quirk. After a reboot, *before* you use button savior at all, you must re-enable usb debugging. Use anycut to create a shortcut for "application settings", click development, enable usb debug.
This assumes that your nook is rooted, otherwise only the home key will ever work.

Uninstalled and reinstalled and that fixed my eyes. I noticed the close button (very hard to read) so now i can pick another game. Sorry for wasting everyones time.
since ICS htc made phones with 3 keys back home and tasks while samsung and LG made back home and menu and long press on the home key take you to tasks...
so my question is that some old application that does not have the 3 dots at top that replacing the menu key let you access setting and more only by ptessing the menu key so....
my question is how does it work?
thank you for your answer
To get rid of the black settings bar, there's an option in settings. After that's changed, you have the option of short pressing the recent apps key for settings and long press for multitask/recent apps or vice versa.

My Home screen style is: Drawer
System navigation key combination is: 3rd from the list
So, when I press the round HOME button it takes me to the Page 2 right away rather than to Page 1 ... Why so?
I must have changed something somewhere ... Goggle Play Service perhaps?
Under Apps, I did Reset app preferences and Show system processes but it didn't bring back the correct Home button function!
Any help please?
Thanks
