MODERATORS
If you use the 3 button navigation, there are options for long press of buttons. "Kill foreground app" as back button long-press action is just indispensable when something goes wrong.
Used to use the hell outta that.
Is this only in custom ROMs, or is there a way to do it through normal settings?
No idea, I haven't used a stock Android system for about 10 years.
Go to Settings and search for "long press action".
Edit: this setting has been available in Developer Settings in earlier Androids, so maybe if the official rom doesn't have the proper setting, you can find it there.
