By present are you talking about there being a visible icon in the status bar where its visible when the notification drawer is not pulled down?

are you referring to not having a notification present at all? Like pretty much disabling the app?

are you talking about having it like it is now with the above options added?

And about tasker, im not sure. i have never really used tasker before. But i will get it play around with it and see what i can do. But as far as having it assigned to the back button thats impossible without modding your ROM's source code. However, i can have it set to the search button long press action.

By 'present' I mean visible on status bar.

If you can set it to search button long press action it will be useful. With this option it will be nice to have possibility to turn off status bar icon and notification icon - I mean option - not visible at all.

Re: [APP][2.2+][ROOT] Foreground app killer (Hold back to kill)

When I press to kill the app it say's killing the app, but the app remains as a foreground.

Should it go back to the home screen? or do I have to press the back button? if so...

It should probably go to the homescreen.

Re: [APP][2.2+][ROOT] Foreground app killer (Hold back to kill)

I tried it on facebook and xda. The only message I get is "killing xda" our "killing facebook" then it shows the "super user message" and nothing after.

I'm running Gb 2.3.5 sense. Classic rom with classic kernel. Hopefully it helps.

Re: [APP][2.2+][ROOT] Foreground app killer (Hold back to kill)

You have to allow it superuser access and check the option to not ask again next time. Also, you have busybox installed?

Hi dev, how to deal with full screen apps? Is there any workaround? And can you please change the app's icon to something nicer? Thanks n advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Sinju33:
If you are open to it, there are a few apps that give the ability to access the Status Bar while in full screen apps. Example: SmartStatusBar

LOVE smart status bar <3 couldnt live without it!

But also, i am working on being able to have a "floating" button on top of all views that you can click to kill the foreground app.

I'm using Windows 8 launcher which has its own custom lock screen on a Note 2 w/ stock 4.1.2 rooted. When I kill any app it goes back to the previous app then a half second later it quickly flashes the lock screen. Not a deal breaker, but annoying. Is this normal?

Note 2 > Tapatalk

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

That setting kills any app when you leave it, you don't get the option to pick and choose which apps stay running.

Note 2 > Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] elesbb:
That's interesting.. I'm just killing the foreground activity. It might be due to the time out being too short. Really don't know why it's doing that

I'm not touching anything in relation to the lock screen. Just whichever app is present.

Only thing I can think of is some poor coding with the windows 8 launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] Scur827:
Yeah, I started playing around a bit and found I could cause it to happen outside of your app killer. So it's my launcher.

You enabled it correct? using the checkbox? If so then you need to go to your settings and manage apps find Google Now and clear defaults for Google Now.
[Android Apps and Games] [x]:
That was silly of me.. Sorry. I knew better to clear defaults. Let me give that a try, and I'll report back my results. Thanks! :sly:

EDIT: I cleared defaults for Google Search, and I have the option checkmark'ed in the app. However, Google Now is still pulling up when long-pressing the Search key. The Google Search app is Google Now on my Droid RAZR.

Side question: I would like to somehow use your app in any ROM's I might develop in the future. Would that be ok with you? Feel free to message me about it if you'd like.

Is the button an actual search button? Thats interesting. Try deleteing or renaming google search under /system/app directory.

I'm using the Droid RAZR Maxx, and I have a hard key (magnifying glass) search button on my device. The normal four buttons prior to ICS: menu, home, options, search.

Is that what you were asking?

I definitely do not want to get rid off Google. :sly:

Yes that's what I was asking. I know some manufacturers hard code buttons. But yours sounds normal.

And that's why I was saying about adding .bak to the end of the file name that way you temporarily remove it just for testing purposes then remove that .bak from the file name and you get the app back. But you have to reboot each time you change the name.
[Android Apps and Games] [x]:
I do not want to permanently or temporarily disable any Google services.

However, I will try those steps temporarily if you want. Would it help you trouble shoot? I like helping fix problems and figuring stuff out.. :sly:

Yes, thats why i recommended that way :P that way for testing purposes, we can figure this out. Cause it seems like your ROM has Google Now as a hard coded mapping. Which is stupid and annoying. lol.
[Android Apps and Games] [x]:
I will definitely test for you! Hopefully, I can help! :) Right after I finish waking up and have coffee. :sly:

Much to my annoyance, Google Now was hard coded after my RAZR Maxx updated to ICS. I always use Voice Search to send texts, eMails, navigations etc; so I was quite upset when they forced that change to Google Now.

Coffee's in hand.. Rebooting into recovery to temporarily remove Google Now.. Be right back. :sly:

EDIT:: Okay.. I'm in SafeStrap recovery using the File Manager, and I cannot located "Google Now" or "Google Search" APK files in the System/App or Data/App folders. I have located com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk , and I suppose I'll try renaming that file... Closest thing I can find to Google Search.

EDIT:: I am back, and I have successfully disabled Google Now temporarily. The above mentioned APK was Google Search / Now. However. Long-pressing the Search key does not work for your KillForeground app, nor does it launch Google Now. LoL.

What now? ^_^

[Android Apps and Games] planktondroid:
Awesome, works exactly as described. Using Jelly Beans ROM (Touchwiz) on SGS3. Cheers!

As dev pointed out, be careful with using on your home screen (launcher app will be killed). Also, other apps/mods I have tried for non-CM ROMS close the apps, but does not "Force Stop", whereas this app closes + force stops app.

Also, I'm not sure if the dev couldn't map the back button long press, but using the notification bar is perfect for 4.1.2 multi-window ROMS where the back button long press is used.
[Android Apps and Games] elesbb:
On my s4 ROM it's mapped to menu long press. It's impossible with modding the ROM though.
[Android Apps and Games] elesbb:
Have a little update for you guys tomorrow :) adds an "invisible" button to the bottom of your screen so you can just tap there and it kills it :)
[Android Apps and Games] elesbb:
Here's the update!
[Android Apps and Games] Neutrino22:
Thank you. This is great for my Galaxy Note 2 because I don't want to use a custom ROM but want to remain rooted.

(1) Sometimes the invisible floating button becomes visible and the size resets.

(2) An option to change opacity on this button would be great.

(3) Maybe also long-press invisible button to avoid accidental kills.

(4) Ability to change ongoing notification text colour so it is quicker to differentiate from other ongoing notifications.

Great work and many thanks for your work.
[Android Apps and Games] adiyoyo:
I don't know if you still improve this app, but if yes, you may add something like blacklist,what app can't kill, where can be choose app like launcher. App is very usefull, but accidental killing launcher is little annoying

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtritsch:
Hey Everyone I hope someone can help me out. I think I bricked my TF300T. I cannot get past the Asus Screen. If I hold the power and the Volume Down it just reboots the device. I can enter APX mode but Fastboot will not let me even install TWRP so I can at least install Recovery to put in a Rom. When I run fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob it just sits there saying Waiting for Device. the APX Fastboot and ADB drivers are installed and windows will recognize the TF300 in APX mode. I am running out of Ideas on this and wanted to know if there is anyway to get this just into recovery so I can install a ROM on it?

My device is Unlocked and I tried to run the most recent firmware on the device but it would not accept the new rom. I did something and now cannot access anything.

2nd Edit. I got Wheelie and started it. It indicates that it is running ( I assume) but there is no indication at all. I have let it sit for 20 minutes and still nothing.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hach-que:
I will assume that you are using Windows from your post.

If the device is unlocked, you should be able to download ClockworkMod Recovery. If you look at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2041627 under the "Installing ClockworkMod Recovery" it describes how to load that into the device. Importantly you have to be running fastboot as Administrator (or the command prompt as Administrator) in order for it to be able to write to the device (it sounds like this might be your problem from the "Waiting for device" message).
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtritsch:

How to Root Coolpad Quattro 4G from Metro PCS

Rooting Directions:

*I WILL NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE SHOULD ANYTHING GO WRONG!!! THIS COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE OR CAUSE DATA LOSS. AS ALWAYS WHEN ROOTING, FLASHING, ETC. ANY PHONE; BACK UP ALL YOUR DATA FIRST. READ ALL DIRECTIONS FIRST.*

1. Download "Framaroot.apk" you can download here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2130276

2. From your Coolpad's homescreen press Menu->Settings->Applications check the box next to "Unknown sources" then click on "Development" check the box next to "USB Debugging.)

3. You need Framaroot on your SD Card. Either download it using your phone or transfer onto your phone from a computer.

4. Use any file manger(available on Google Play Store by searching) to install Framaroot.

5. Open Framaroot and use the first option "Install Superuser" then click where it say's "Gimli". The process should only take 1 or 2 seconds

6. Reboot device/phone.

Done!

Again; do this at your own risk. And as always; there is a chance that your phone might be get ruined, bricked, wiped, explode, etc. by trying this. Follow the directions and be careful. Here are some links that might be of use; One for framaroot (same as above) and one for the Windows drivers for this phone:

1) Framaroot: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2130276

2) Coolpad Quattro 4G Windows Drivers .exe: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/77601091/5860E_driver_setup.exe

Happy Rooting!

P.S. Has anyone found any Custom ROM's for the Coolpad Quattro 4G from Metro PCS? Jelly Bean would be great, or even a Custom ICS Port would be really cool.

Title speaks for itself.

I've been lurking the forums for a few months, so... Hi! My tech vocab is limited, but I catch on quickly. Please bare with me.

Anyways, Kies wanted me to upgrade my firmware on my 7.0, so like... Yeah. Stupid me didn't remember that the device was sitting in my lap and connected to my computer WHILE going through the upgrade, and I was feeling uncomfortable, and moved. By doing that, the USB unplugged from the device. I've tried going through with the upgrade via Kies after, but... Just no. Now my device is stuck on the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen, and no matter how many times I try to reboot it, soft reboot, entering download mode, it always, ALWAYS, goes back to that screen.

So, I plug it in again, and connect it to Odin. But... Wait! I don't have any of the files I need. So I look around and download files instructed by several people for my specific device, but I don't think I need them for this specific problem.

What exactly do I need to get, and how to I put it all together in Odin to make my device work again? I don't really care if all my files get deleted (although it would be great if I could keep them), I just need to get this resolved before Tuesday, since I have textbooks on it that I need for classes.

tl;dr I'm lost, and I need a push in the right direction.

Thanks in advanced!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeramyEggs:
First, I know how nerve racking this is so I am going to try, and help. I am new to Samsung, but I would think that a stock firmware flash from Odin would fix it.
