When I click the back button Android goes to the previous activity. Is it possible to set for every activity a custom (back) activity or to set the back button to the home menue of the app?

Help or hints would be great :)

You will have to override onBackPressed() from your activity:

@Override
public void onBackPressed()
{
    super.onBackPressed(); 
    startActivity(new Intent(ThisActivity.this, NextActivity.class));
    finish();

}
