Back Button Kill App - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi people
Without Xposed which does not support M at the moment, is there a way to add long press back button to kill app?

AFAIK not until custom ROMs implement it or exposed is updated for marshmallow. Just going to have to wait it out a little while for certain features until devs get properly stuck in to angler

Thought that would be the answer. ha ha
Hope Slim comes to Angler.

Not sure if this is what you’re looking for but this is a great app. but you have to be rooted.

Hi, thank you very much for sharing those two apps. However, I can't seem to figure out how to use the free one. I activate it but once my tablet goes off I can't turn it back on with the volume keys. I've searched for a help file or instructions but the app doesn't even have a GUI. I'm unrooted and on stock ROM.

There is no GUI for the free app. just a pop up indicating that's been activated . some times you have to press twice the volume to turn it on.
I am rooted and still in CleanRom 4.1 .

Ok. I'll try when I get home. The power button on this tablet is pretty badly designed. :/

It's a module that can be installed with the Xposed Framework.
There's a lot of real neat settings on there, I would recommend you use it.
It will allow you to keep stock but have some extra features you may want. (4 way reboot, call recording, etc.) without modifying / flashing other stuff.
Keep in mind you have to have root, though.

Home button double action

Since I have had this phone the home button always acted as if you had pressed it twice. For instance, in an app, press home, takes me to launcher and automatically goes to main home screen. Does that happen to everyone? Think I may have a reason to get a new one if not.

I liked the old functionality, one press back to lay home screen, twice to main home screen, and with nova I had third to the home screen editor. Can't do the nova agreed functionality because of how it is now.

Nope, def a bug...install a launcher like Nova...by default, if you're on the main homescreen and press home you're supposed to get the "previews" screen that shows all of your home screens...
But on our phones it will open quickly and then close right away because the home button registers twice...

You can't compare a stock launcher to an aftermarket launch. Functionality will always be different. Maybe it's a bug but I hope I can keep the functionality.

If it's not a bug then it's non-standard Android behavior and it was not something that existed when the phone launched.
Clearly, it's a bug. If it's still around after the next OTA then either Motorola is incompetent or Verizon directed them to do this for some dumb reason.

Are you on 4.4 or 4.2.2? The 4.2.2 has the correct behavior, 4.4 is broken.

This does not happen on my Maxx running kitkat (rooted but I think that's irrelevant).
If I'm in an application and press the home button once, it goes the last home screen I was on (not the 'main' home screen). Pressing it again goes to the main screen.

For me this started immediately after going to Kit Kat - I am rooted, I wasn't on 4.2. Annoying as hell!
There is a setting for home double tap in the accessibility section all the way down at the bottom.

This is my biggest problem with the Kit Kat upgrade - home button goes to main home screen sometimes. Makes me want to ditch this phone for something else. Maddening.
The entire upgrade was generally a let down, from performance to battery.
Sent from my XT1080 using xda app-developers app
Well I recently switched to Dev and home button is normal as it should be. Sticking with 4.2.2. I am going to try to send my Norman maxx in for warranty for the glitch. Should come with 4.2.2. If anyone wants to buy it let me know.

I wonder how this would compare legally to fingerprint/pin lock in regards to being compelled to unlock your device.

Don't think it would be any different than the other "trusted" options like face, location, and on-body. They are just smart compliments to backup pin/pattern locks.
Has anyone here received this update yet? I've been anxiously awaiting its arrival or been searching for an APK download. Looking forward to trying it out.
installed the latest, and it seemed to disable all security options... i would hold off

im running terminus. but the stock options are just like the ones i posted. either euphoria is missing some files/code, or you somehow are. find out if other euphoria users have ok google working with the screen off and unplugged. if its just euphoria, now a days its easily fixable.

it would have to be fixed/enabled in the rom. but you might have a temporary solution, if it still works. i started a thread last year about this, and not working on aosp roms. until we finally found a solution to it(just some missing files in aosp source). check out the thread, yes its old now, but you might find a temporary solurion in there that will work for you. and please ask, thats the only way we will find out if its the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/ok-google-everywhere-aosp-rom-t2963716

That's very odd. Although 20 seconds is definitely too long. Just 2 at the most, make sure you don't move the actual icon. Sorry it's not working for you.

I saw how lacking it was too and just D/L icons from Google that I liked since you can choose your own image for any icon. Its a lil tedious but you can really do some customization
I just Googled Camera Icon & chose something I liked.
Hope it helps
Thanks for the tip, at the time I'm using nova and icon packs from the play store
NP at all, I run Nova in my truck on my Note 4 via a Mimicsx2 module and it's customization is paramount.
V20 I only need to swap a few uglys out.
You can use QuickShortCutMaker or AppShortCutMaker to change Icons for stock launcher too without any other launcher!!
To set the new icon, you have to be sure that there is place for it on the homescreen!!!
