makeing the Ok button actually close an app, not just (mini)

I have searced but to no avile.
I do use magic button, but I want to be able to close an app without taping the top right corner of the screen, with the ok button.
am I doing something wrong?
also is the best way to null the active sync from auto starting still making a fake server exchange?
Keep stylus on the ok button for a couple of secs, then an icon like a house should appear on your taskbar. Press this for a short while and a menu sholuld appear where you can change the settings to close programs instead of minimize.
or can use smclose which is simpler - just place in windows startup folder voila!

Larger 'x' Button?

I was wondering if anyone knew of a cab that will make the x/close button to exit ex.internet explorer larger. Im looking for something just a little more finger friendly. Thanks
take this and put it on the ok button. it will close the app really.
more fingerfreindly isnĀ“t possible
There must be something better than that. Anyone?
use quickmenu app:
option 1: go to quickmenu/option.../ on the general tab you should see 'long-press win log' , there's an option there 'close program'. now when you hold down start menu you can close a program.
option 2: go to quickmenu/option.../ on the general tab you should see ' "ok" key to close program '. now whenever you press the ok key, it'll automatically close the program running.
Hope that helps

Make PointUI default everythign

is there a way to make point UI like the default of everything. When i press the red button on my touch, it goes backto WM desktop. IF i want to use this as a normal "skin" then it needs to go back to the homescreen when presing the red button, and only going back to normal WM desktop when i manually do it???... Also how do you stop programs w/in pointui home. it just says currently running, and how do you stop those progs?
Perhaps you should ask this on the PointUI forums?

Use third party X-Button,Task Manager or Resco to close program when you back to WM desktop. You can close programs with 1.01b but still quite a bit steps. It does not fall back to Home screen is still no get around yet. Same if you lock the device but if you press the power button, it will unlock. This UI has not worked all bugs out yet.

Click to collapse
Tap on the arrow on the lower screen of PointUI Home
-> Currently Running
-> Select your desired application
-> The program opens with the PointUI titlebar
-> Tap on the name of the application
-> Force Close
Then youre on your Desktop again. Tap on the title "Desktop" and select "Home" again.
Yes, quite a lot steps, but I'm already used to it
Greetings and have a nice day

Using BACK button, annoying.

I wonder I someone else agree that back button in IE is annoying or this is problem with me Consider following situation.
Case A:
Unlock phone -> Menu -> Games -> Some game
I have to do something else and want to stop game so I use back button:
Some game -> Games -> Menu. It is clear and looks logic.
Case B:
Unlock phone -> Menu -> IE -> page 1 -> page 2 -> page 3 etc.
Now I want to do something else but on page 3 there is something interesting so I would like to read later. So I use back button, but now it
page 3 -> page 2 -> page 1 -> Menu
After while I want to continue reading, but when I start IE I have got only page 1 (because IE is so fantastic so remember page when suspended)
I know I can use windows button to call top menu, but when I accidently push back button later over top menu I got IE again. For me this is crazy because over top menu I got something else, so my top menu is no a top menu.
Is there a trick to set some page (in my case called page 3) so I can use back button and after another try to start IE begin from page 3?
I think you're trying to do this right :
You're on page 3
Save page 3 for later and go back to page 1
Finish browsing page 1
Return to page 3?
I don't think that that's directly possible. But, you can bookmark page 3 go back as many times, use other apps then return to page 3 and delete the bookmark.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
The BACK button is definitely annoying when it comes to the browser, as there is no dedicated link or button in the browser for going back.
I would recommend a third party skin for IE mobile...like Browser Plus or Surf Cube ... both of which have back buttons...or a method of going back.
I am sure the UI for Internet Explorer on WP7 will be fixed in an upcoming update though...
When you are on page 3 open a new tab and then use the back button.
Now you get out of IE and when you go back you only have to change the tab and you're on page 3 again
If you swipe to either side under your favorites menu, you can access your browsing history and select the page you want there.
Start Button
When you're on page3 press start button (windows logo), this "ends" ie and let's you start a new app. After all open ie and you'll see...

How To: Remap Home and Back Keys to Open Applications

Hey, if youre running a custom ROM, and want to use the on-screen buttons, having your capacitive buttons still functioning the same can be pretty redundant, so I came up with a way to remap them to open any app that you choose. All that is required is Tasker and root access.
First off, what you need: Tasker, Root, and a text-editing program
Get your keylayout file. There are multiple ways to do this, but since all phones use different names for them, its best to just open up an app like Root Explorer and move to the file itself, and then copy and paste it. The files name is synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl, so if youd prefer to adb pull it, its located inside the /system/usr/keylayout folder.
Edit your button IDs. After getting your .kl file, open it with a regular text editor, and find the keys that you want to change. For mine, I used the home and back keys. Locate where they are; it wont be hard as the keys have their actions next to them, and change one key to CAMERA, and the other the SEARCH.
Map button actions in Tasker. Finally, open Tasker (turn off Beginners view in settings), and hit New > Event > Hardware > and then your button of choice. You can either select the Camera button first, or the Search button. Inside the Event screen, set the priority to Highest, and if youre editing the Camera button, check the Stop Event button. Create a new task in the profile for your button, and create a new action. After, click App > Load app, and then select which application you would like to launch on that button. Do the same thing for the Search button, but you have to long press the search button to access it, as regularly clicking it will open Google Now.
Hope this helps anyone with hardware keys that wanted to switch over to the nav buttons.
