Is there a back button in apps to go to the apps main page? The only way I can tell is to press the home button then re open the app.

Generally, to go back in most apps just swipe down from the top of the screen.

Just wondering, on the stock rom, the application menu allows you to swipe left and right, like page by page.
My current custom rom, application menu is the default one which goes up and down.
Anyway to make it work like stock rom?
Press left button when viewing apps and change view mode
Do you know maybe how to do it on HD2?

When you go to menu jut long press arrow button until menu disapire and...
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.

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.
there were three buttoms on our phone
back home and menu
but the ics's three buttom is back home and multitask
i am wondering that can someone mod menu buttom to multitask buttom?
when i press menu and i will open multitasking screen just like original ics
and sorry for my poor engliah
Here you can see what has happend to the menu button.
There where you need it, it is a little button on the right corner or on playstore right left corner.
But the optiones are not away, in ICS you've got more options!
You still need that menu button for legacy apps, otherwise you couldn't access the menu.
Long-pressing home button still acts as a multitask button.

I'd prefer the option to use the menu button as a multitasking button, get the settings icon in proper ics apps, and long press for menu in legacy apps. Is that option available?

That works to but then my keyboard auto-pops up..
That is not ok if i only want to look at the cards.
Press back button once, sorted
Holding the menu button to bring up google only works on the homescreen. How can I create a shortcut to access it from anywhere, even inside other apps?
hold down the home button to get the recent switcher and on the bottom there will be a button.

If you are on a Touchwiz ROM with their stock features, just bring up the multi-tasking/recent apps screen and there is a Google Now button at the bottom.
