Answer 1

There is no need to create a custom button... You can simply do something like this:

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
    if ([self.navigationController.viewControllers indexOfObject:self]==NSNotFound) {
        // back button was pressed.  We know this is true because self is no longer
        // in the navigation stack.  
        CATransition *transition = [CATransition animation];
        [transition setDuration:0.75];
        [transition setTimingFunction:[CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut]];
        [transition setType:@"oglFlip"];
        [transition setSubtype:kCATransitionFromLeft];
        [transition setDelegate:self];
        [self.navigationController.view.layer addAnimation:transition forKey:nil];
    }

    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
}

Edit: you must add the quartz framework first in order to use CATransition
