hmmm that's really odd, it should do the trick... its working on mine without any problem.. it might be the version of your opera browser or the nature of your custom rom..
if its just opera, then i guess you may be able to bear with it.. although i still sympathize you, i could imagine how much little things like this can annoy you.

ive got it set to close when you press and hold x for a few seconds.
and i just checked my custoom rom tp2 and my gfs stock tp2.it found in the systrm settings under taskmanager, or if you have the little dropdown arrow where the "x" would normally be, just drop it down and hit the little wrench icon.

I didn't think you could do it without a 3rd party app. but then I havn't run a stock rom in 6 months ...

Currently I use Xtask, check it on XDA. Its a task manage and X close app.

6.5.x does not have the ability to close applications using the X button. I recommend arkswitch for easy app switching and killing under 6.5.x

now THAT is a task manager.... thanks for the link. I'v tried a couple of other ones. but this one - exactly what i want... shows cpu usage, how much memory is consumed... and a host of things i have no idea what to do with. As i said - perfect!

Try this program over at XDA; I had the same problem when I switched to a 6.5.x ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583002. One tip - when you start it, you'll need to press and hold the start menu button to get to the start button (it's the default config, confused the heck out of me at first).

If you are using the HTC task manager (drop down in upper right corner) you can set the x button to close Opera by going to:

HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\TerminateProcess

if the dword "Opera9.exe" exists set its value to 1
if it doesn't create the dword and do the same.

There are cabs around to do this for you if you do a search.

I can't find this path

HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\TerminateProcess

I only found

HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\

Do I have to create a new Key with "TerminateProcess" as name?

Please help, I"m tired of sending all the apps to the background, I wanna do a "real exit" but I wanna do it by editing registry, I don't wanna install cabs. thank you, I appreciate your help
