So on my HTC One M7, themer is able to be killed in multitasking (long press home). I have clear all button on my ROM, and it's annoying to have it killed every time I want to kill other apps. Is there any way to remove it from multitasking so this doesn't happen? My cousin said this happens on his S4 also.

Hi,
The developers are looking into removing it from the list, but it's no easy task. We'll see if we can bump this up the priority list

What you're holding is not an iPhone, friend.
So there is no way to change the function of the double tap on the key? Perhaps to something more useful as some probably have no use for the voice command system. Can anyone answer this? And yes I'm sure the op is aware that he or she does not hold an iPhone.
if this is a problem for you, an iphone is the better choice

maybe the iphone it is a better choice for the people who doesnt want to modify their OS and work with a fixed one instead of what their want in personal use.
long press for a ****ty multitask it is not the way to go, and with 3 keys 2 click on home is the faster way until we got a multitask like windows mobile 6.5 with taskfacade or something and a click on notification bar to use.

I whole-heartedly agree, and I actually have a hard time believing that your question was met with all those snarky comments from a forum dedicated to customizing the most customizable mobile OS on the planet.
I too would like to be able to change the default home double click behaviour. I'm sure it can be done, i just don't know how. Any ideas, people?

I'll give you a sensible response, as of yet, you can't change the double tap function on the S2. It may be customized in the future but so far you'll just have to live with the annoying voice control app.
I hope that helps
Thanks for the non-sarky response

I've seen an application called multitasking pro that supposedly opens with a double tap of the home button. But I guess it wouldn't work on S2 yet, huh?

I don't know, Install it and see, I doubt it will work though, I doubt it'll be able to override a stock Samsung app.

Wow, way to be an ass. Never heard of Quick Desk?
All the multitasking of the iPhone from double tap, but with the option to add widgets as well?
If that's not one upping the iPhone at it's own game then I don't know what is.
I for one know I'd rather have a multi tasking app than a voice search I'll never use.
Anyway, the closest i've found is http://android.modaco.com/content/s...odaco-com/340047/take-control-of-home-button/ but this is only working on KE2 as of the moment.
Guys, what I'd like is a long hold on the BACK button to bring up the multi-task menu, this would feel like less of an effort than the long press on HOME.
I have ICS 4.0.3. and I want to know how to close App?
How do you know for sure this App is closed, without having to go in Settings and close it there every single time manually.
You don't.
Android handles management of apps and will close them when it needs too. It will also pre-launch apps so they are ready to use. So no need to worry about closing them. Just go back to the home screen or whatever and don't worry about it.
If something is misbehaving you can go into your Settings > Apps find you app and hit Force Close, but that should not need to be done often. If you do then find a different app.
Even if you do this to "close apps" Android will probably just relaunch them in a few minutes anyway. You just don't need to "close" apps. That is a traditional PC convention and does not translate to Android.

Click on recent app tab, find the app that you wish to close, swipe left or right to close it. Love this feature so much.
Open the recent apps button at the bottom (3rd from left and looks like 2 boxes) and then swipe the app you want closed to the left or right.
Edit: Crap. Lol someone beat me to it

Pretty sure that is just a list of apps you opened recently. Swiping them off just removes them from the list, and doesn't stop the application from running. You can test this by swiping it off then going into your Settings > Apps. For me, the app is still running even when swiped from the list. Also things stay there even when an App has actually been forced close.

Correct this doesn't close the app but just gets rid of it in the list of recent apps.

LOL. Yeah, when I first saw this I was kinda confused by it. I know how Android manages memory and apps, so I didn't understand what it was for: especially with prominent placement on the System Bar. I guess they just felt they needed something for people used to closing apps.
This would be great for people that run 3 or 4 apps all the time since they would not need to have them on the Home screen or go to the App Drawer.
Android does a good job managing memory, so you should only need to close apps that are having problems. This can be a hard transition from the Windows world.

Now this isn't necessarily true.
I played w/ this a bit and put the Task Manager widget on the home screen. On some apps, if you remove them from the recent apps list, the task disappears from the Task Manager maybe 5-10 seconds later. Now while I realize that not all running apps necessarily show up on the Task Manager, I've noticed that if an app/process is ended on the Task Manager, it is no longer listed under running apps in the settings.
And when you use the Task Manager to close certain apps, they'll still show up in the Recent Apps list but instead of showing a proper image of app activity, it'll be just a blank black square. When you tap that square, it just opens the app as new.
I used the app called system to verify and swiping does close them....awsome.

Long press back button to kill the current app. Cyanogenmod and MIUI Roms already have it :good:
Unnecessary and battery consuming apps can be killed right away without the trouble of going to the application menu every #@! time...
Can some developer perhaps make this possible for the XPS?
Swipe the app away from the list when you long press home.
its not nessesary if you use the go back button to quit the app and not the homebutton.
and open, but recently not used apps dont needs battery but to close apps all the time if they have boot recivers needs alot of battery

Ah i thought not all apps close when pressing the back button, but i just tried it again with some apps, but they do close unless they are necessary in the background offcourse but i was more concerned about cached processes, do they use battery or resources (except RAM) can they restart themselfs and maybe for example connect to the internet

Do you also know about cached processes, (except RAM usage) can they restart themselfs and maybe for example connect to the internet or do something else. Or is it just cached 'frozen' in memory and nothing more, until its needed again on command

watching the video, it seems quick settings are back, it's the version that mik made, idk if football added it in or htc?
I really want to change my recent apps button to be used as a menu button. Every single app has the 3 dots in a different place. I want to able to press a single button in a centralized place and have the same action occur across every app. It's dumb they would get rid of that. Quick Settings aren't bad, either.

It is also supposed to be silky smooth and allow for lag free movement with live wallpaper. And by what I saw on the video it looks very promising.

I agree with this 100% :good: the "Settings" button is one of the most used buttons, and having it bounce around is a real PITA.

Email or otherwise contact the developer of the app and tell them to upgrade them to the new standard. Once they do that it will get rid of the 3 button bar at the bottom of the screen and settings should be in the right location.
hi i received the my 64gb htc one .i love it .but the only thing i dont like in it is the black bar on the bottom(below home screen).it is really killing the screen real estate .it appears on every app on the phone .it is really disgusting to see htc made such a bad move with sense 5 .phone is loaded with bloat software.i think the sense on htc one x+ is good .can anyone let me know is there anyway to make it transparent.so it looks fine .
thank you guys ...

Just unlock the bootloader and install a custom rom. Most have it removed. It's because there is a lack of menu button

You can't really blame HTC for this one. This is due to poor app programming and updating. Google has clearly stated, for 2 years now I think, that apps are to have their own triple block settings button. Yes, most phone manufacturers have kept the hardware button and that has allowed software developers to not care about following the design guidelines that Google has put forth. I think that as more phones forego the menu button, a move which I fully support, the apps will be upgraded accordingly. Blame the apps, not HTC.

You can ABSOLUTELY blame HTC for this one.
There are 2 easy solutions to this:
1. Software buttons.
2. The same god dang buttons they used on the ONE X with a long press!
It's terrible that a logo is more important than non-horrible functionality.
I do agree with you that they could have implented that. I think that my ideal set up is to have the HTC logo act as the multitask button and a long press of that or the back button act as the menu button. But I still blame the app developers more for not following long standing Android design principles. In fact, the only reason they get away with it is because the Play store is open. Whenever Apple changes design guidelines, they do not allow the app to be used on the new OS until the app has been updated to follow the new design guidelines. I sometimes wish Google had a little more control over the Play store.
Do people not research a phone before they buy it anymore?
A simple search and / or watching a few of the early video reviews would have shown the button layout and how they function..
It makes NO sense (pun intended) to me that people buy a phone knowing it's features, or lack thereof, then throw tantrums on an internet forum over them..
^^^ fair enough
Know why App developers haven't implemented menu buttons in their apps? Samsung phones have menu buttons.
I don't care for the lack of a menu button myself, and long press on the back button would have made sense to include.

If you really wanna fix it without rooting, get a different launcher like Nova, Apex or Go. All of them are customizable, down to gestures to use for functions that a 3rd button could provide.
