Hi,
Is it possible to include a function to kill a foreground app by long-pressing the back button. CM has this option in the developer settings and sometimes it can be convenient.
Not going to happen. It has been this way since 3.x

I'm using Android 4.04 with Cyanogenmod 9 (nightly).
When my screen goes off and I hit menu to reactivate it while still in the grace period, Android invariably shows me the list of recent applications. Also, after exiting that list (back), the list won't show up again on long-pressing menu, until I've hit back another time first.
Anyone else experience this problem on ICS4.04 or is it CM9-related?
I'm currently running the 20120901 version of CM10 because every new NIGHTLY and EXPERIMENTAL build isn't functioning like it. In the build I have, pressing the Recent Apps button brings up the App Settings and a long press and hold on the Menu button brings up the recent Apps. In the new builds nothing I can find brings up those settings. This renders several apps I need as useless. For instance when adding a contact there is no way for me to add an email address or any other content. With no Settings button I am unable to edit the contact. I'm hoping that I am just missing something. As I find more inconsistencies I'll report them here.
Also, I thought that a function of JellyBean was the ability to access Google Now from any screen by swiping the Menu button up. This feature doesn't appear to be working either.
*Update* I fixed the problem. The CM10 version I had had the keys defaulted that I needed to use. The new version didn't. I had to map the hardware keys. Here's how in case anyone else has a similar problem. Bring up Settings -- System -- Hardware Keys -- check Enable custom actions. Change Home Key (Long Press) to Recent Apps Switcher. Change App switch key to Open/Close menu. If this thread needs to be deleted then so be it. I just wanted to make sure I shared how I fixed my own problem.
I thought I saw a video on YouTube about how dragging the menu button up brings up Google now. Is this a setting I need to activate?

So when I broke my s5 and self repaired it, I ripped the multitask button, so I can't force close my apps without going to one handed operation and touching the button there. I'm thinking that this might be a problem if I flash to CM11 or 12. Will I still be able to go to one handed operation, or will and is there an app that will allow me to go to my recent apps?
If you have a custom ROM on, you should be able to map another key to that function. For example, I mapped my recents key to short press - menu and long press - recent apps, and mapped long press home button for screenshots. You could try mapping long press on back key to recents.
For example, to the menu button, i want to assign Screen filter app. When I press and hold the menu button, Screen Filter will start working.
I'm using Resurrection Remix 4.4.2 rom. These are similar settings but it isn't allowing to set an app. Is there any way to do it?
In CM12.1 official, I at least can set buttons open camera or search assistant or previous app. Unluckily you can't select a random app.
Hi, I'm trying to simulate a long press of the home button in order to launch 'Google now on tap' as my phone (elephone p9000, stock 6.0, rooted) has got rid of the navigation bar in favour of a single capacitive button, which uses the long press function to launch recent apps instead of Google now on tap and I can't find any other way to launch this service. You can bring the navigation bar back but this interferes with other functionality I have set up now. Can anyone please tell me either an app that can run a script to simulate the home key long press or alternatively another way to create a shortcut to launch Google now on tap as right now I'm having to go into settings reactivate the navigation bar, long press home and then deactivate it after. Not exactly streamlined! Thanks for any advice.
Would be great to be able to assign Google now on tap to the fast access Button on the left. I miss it myself and dont want to use one Screen Navigation.

There's actually 2 very straightforward ways of doing this, one of which is I thought I'd tried but obviously not very well. You can launch the Now on Tap feature by assigning it to a gesture in either LMT pie control or another 3rd party app called All In 1 Gestures. If this isn't clear just ask.
Anybody figured this? What would the shortcut show up as using a third party app. I can see Google but how would you access Google now on tap? Doesn't show up as a shortcut.
