Since there's no xposed yet, it is possible in a rooted g5 with stock rom?
it's in the developer options right at the bottom. Hope this helps

Oh my GOD THANK YOU!!! No long press kill is one of the everyday things I miss the most about having root! THANK YOU!! :+D
Did this app work for you guys? Does someone has tested it on a stock samsung nougat ROM? looking for this function as well.

I've been using it, both on MM and N (unrooted LG G5), with mixed results... It doesn't seem to be an ultimate kill like you would find with an Xposed mod, but if you fiddle with it, it eventually does the job.
For example, I use a camera monitor app for my kid's room. Occasionally, the app hangs or otherwise needs a reset. The back button kill with the app posted above doesn't completely kill the cam app the first time, but if I launch the cam again and back button kill a second time, it looks like it finishes the job.
It's not perfect, but for a phone that doesn't look like it's ever going to get root (Sprint variant here), it's better than nothing.

App requests superuser. Then it needs permission to location, camera, contacts and others. When you deny, it kills itself.
Tried it on marshmallow, not nougat.
Uninstalled it before even using it, because of the permissions.. A kill-app shouldn't need my contacts info.
I was willing to pay for an app that allows me to use long press kill, but since All in one gestures needs all my private info before I can try it, that one is scratched off the list.
Awesome thread! This has been something that I was asking myself too. Thanks for the tip!

On a positive note, you could consider using a firewall and never allow the app to connect to the Internet... So even if it sees your contacts, it will never be able to send them back home

Xposed Additions - XposedBridge Module that provides additional ROM settings
When I switched device from HTC One X to Samsung GS3, I quickly noticed one extremely annoying thing, the position of the power button. I could not touch the device in any way (Like to put it in the pocket) without the damn display turning on, and when you like me set up the device to never turn off the screen automatically, this is not a good thing.
It did not take long before I pulled down the sources for CM10.1 and added a small feature which allowed me to disable the damn power button whenever the screen was off. The main issue with doing this, is that you need to re-compile the whole ROM on every update and you also need to add the feature to any other ROM you might wish to try out.
Then came XposedBridge and just by creating a small module, I could now add this feature and more to any ROM without altering the ROM source, and without recompiling anything when I want to try another ROM.
But like always, there is always improvements to be made and requests from users. So now this module is a growing Power and Button Re-map controller allowing you to setup your device and it's buttons just the way you would like. The Re-map option support Clicks, Double Clicks and Long Press, you can add whatever button you like that your devices has and you can Re-map it to do almost anything.
Supported ROM's
This module is supported on all Android 2.3 and up. It is required to have Xposed Bridge installed though. You can find it for Android 4.0+ and Android 2.3

That would require a bit more work, something that I at present time does not have. At the moment I have a few projects midway through some minor and major updates, which I need to finish before taking on more. This was just a small module that I made for myself to save time by not having to compile my own CM update versions all the time, and then I thought that others might want it as well. But I will add more when I get the time, but Halo I cannot promise.
Thanks man.
Thanks, works on my note n7100.

Nothing more annoying than having your device continuing turn on by accidental key presses. This is a friarly simple option, as it only needs a little extension to my already existing power disable feature. I will see about adding it after the weekend

Sorry no. The swipe feature is a kernel implementation/hack which translates your swipe into a power button press. Android itself has no swipe feature, so to Android there is no difference between you swiping or pressing the button. The only way to make a feature for both separately, is if the kernel dev implements something that can be identified in the Android framework to help distinguish the two. Without this, there is no way for me to check which action you took to turn on the screen.

I know this may sound odd, but can you please add an option to open an app after boot, I allready have an app that does that for me, but it is kinda slow, it doesen't open right after boot, it takes a bit, sometimes it even takes 2-3 minutes and sometimes it doesen't even open, so I was thinking that if this was done using an xposed module the app would open right after boot.....I really need to open that app every time my phone starts.

I started using an app called flashlight LED genius and there is an option that allows you to shake the phone while at the lock screen to enable the flashlight. Then to turn off you simply shake again, you can set sensitivity settings and duration in case it gets turned on accidentally. I have had no issues with it accidentally turning on as of yet. Works surprisingly well.
Wow thanks for that app. useful

Shake on lockscreen option works fine for a while, then stops. Problem is noted in the app description in the Play Store but no ETA on a fix is mentioned. Too bad, when it works it's nice.

Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.

I tried that before but didnt work altho it worked on my xperia s which was running stock 5.1.1
I am a bit confused. Say, I wanted to downgrade from MM to LP and there is no rollback package available and even if there is, I just want to do it manually.
Can I flash boot, Cust, recovery and system from LP and then force update using three button update?
Will it work?
I don't think so, as I think, maybe I'm wrong, that the transition package includes other packages which have partitions other than the general ones like /boot, /system, /recovery, /cust you can see inside a transition package using Huawei Update Extractor Tool.

You can downgrade directly without transition, but from my experience it will give you a major headache. Partitions will get messed and you will have to flash in a trial-and-error several versions of img files until you finally get a workable non-bootloop LP ROM. And THEN flash a full LP ROM.

Go with the transitional package route.
If for any reason you prefer LP, then stick to B190.
But if you like MM, go for B380. The RAM management is way better than B190 and overall fluidness is incomparable. I was sceptical, but now I can't go back to B190. B380 is very close to perfection. Only misses guest mode and faster charging.

In B1xx there was the possibility of assigning a fingerprint to a guest mode, so that only certain apps and features were available, with the same user. For example, guest could make a phone call, but not access SMS or gallery. It's like an automatic "hide me this stuff without even other people notice I requested so".

I have done this and this is NOT the same! This enable multi-user mode, like in Windows. The other user will get an empty, independent system.
In Lollipop the feature was called "Privacy Protection", where you could assign certain fingerprints and PINs to a "guest" account. The guest logged in to the SAME interface as the "owner", but the owner could hide certain apps and albums that the guest could not see. And the hidden apps were really gone from everywhere, as it was non-existing. And the point is, the guest did not know about it.

It's an Emui feature, non-android standard.
If it was that simple it would groundbreaking, but it isn't.
On the other end, it's intended for multiuser purpose. For those who don't have "wife factor" or lend the phone, there's no point.

I just tried it, extremely buggy. Still not pleased that this phone most likely has a compatible sensor, since it was made by Huawei, and Google claims it doesn't have compatible hardware. I would say they are just trying to keep it "pixel exclusive" as long as possible.

I just tried it as well. Doesn't seem buggy at all tried all the different options and all worked great. However, the major caveat seems to be that you simply hold your finger on the sensor (just like you do when unlocking the phone), rather than using a gesture - which is what people were wanting to get.
Yeah, it's not perfect but a decent start. True swipe gestures would be cool, I bet somebody gets something better working.

Lucky. Sometimes it works work well, others it would hang for over 5 seconds or just not do anything at all. It didn't matter what mode I was on. It especially got flakey if I pressed the power button. Oh well, whatcha gonna do. It's a step in the right direction so that's a positive!

Yea I tried every setting in the app, it was slightly more consistent, but I was still having issues. I will wait to see if a new version comes out or some other solution to these gestures surfaces. I am on the 7.1.1 beta, that could be an issue also.

There's a fingerprint gesture app in the Android app section of the forum. Just does notifications but seems to work well enough.
