I've got the google market installed, and voice and gmail, swype, xbmc,gplus. What are the typical customizations? Other than the sound control app?
Also is there a quick way to navigate between running apps? I feel like I'm missing a shortcut somewhere. Thanks

With all the made skillz here at XDA.
Do you think someone can whip up an app that when you hold the Search button, instead of picking voice search, it can open up the Camera app?

I believe long presses are handled by the kernal so it should be possible but I am not sure how.
Currently, long press on the search opens google talk...maybe long press on the menu or something?
Good idea though

You get the option for powerstrip or chompsms to take over that button.
I would love an app to launch whatever you want, like the camera or the phone app.
Surely this should be super easy to make

I would like it to be used for voice input in emails/texts. The tiny mic button is hard to hit on the Android keyboard.
I use LaunchPro and setup the app drawer swipe up gesture to open camera, works well for me.
great suggestion.. using that now
Use the android market app called 'Button Shortcut' i made the long-press search open camera instead of google search.

I don't know about launcher pro but I do exactly the same in ADW. I took LP off after I discovered this in ADW, I never saw this in LP, did I miss it?

Press and hold one of the apps in the app drawer until the menu pops up. Select 'Swipe Gesture Action'

I took the advice. Since I already had handcent SMS assigned to the button and voice search had been assigned before that I got a nice little menu out of it. I think its more useful w/o selecting a default

Is there a way to get a list of my recent apps? On my android phone I can hold down the home button for a few seconds and a window pops up and I can just click one to open it up. How can I do that with my kindle? I tend to jump between programs for work and when you're in a rush it's a process to always re-find the app.
I rooted my kindle using the Kindle Fire Utility and Go Launcher EX installed.
Thanks for any help!

You should try out AppSwipe Task Switcher. Its a nice multitasker that lets you see recent apps. Its available in the Amazon Appstore for free

If you have a cm9 rom installed you can hit the little double box icon to the right of the home button and it will bring up a scrollable list on the side. If your using the stock amazon rom on the other hand its not as easy.

Another possibility is button savior. When you invoke it's replacement buttons you can long click on home to get a list of recent apps. It also provides a way to get a back button for those games that have issues on the Fire with its lack of traditional Android buttons.

You mean all the time or only in lock screen?
I do not know of any way to completely disable them.
Some apps, like Full Screen Caller Id, let you disable them while the device is locked.

I just learned that double-tapping the Home button will open S-Voice. That's great, but I'd honestly prefer Google Now. My old droid incredible (Yeah, I made quite the leap with this upgrade) had a physical search button, and being able to hold that for Now voice input was one of my must-haves. Any way to replace that command to open Now instead? (unrooted. Waiting for recovery before I bother.)
Im using nova launcher and I set up my gestures so that when I double tap home screen it shows my recent apps. But you could set it to open google now as well.

try holding down the soft menu button to the left of the home button :good:
then all you have to say is 'Google' and your voice input begins!

Another way is to use an app called Home2Shortcut.
You can follow step 3 in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823194&highlight=home2shortcut (You don't need to be rooted for Step 3.)

Thanks, but I just tried it and it seems the stock double home setting overrides it - so it still goes to S Voice unfortunately.
You have to disable the option to launch S voice by double tapping home from within the S voice settings.

Press and hold your home key button for about 5 secs or less, After which all your open applications will pop up. From there you can either clear all your open application or swipe them away one by on,
NOTE: That's how it's done with the regular Samsung S4. It Might probably be the same with the google edition.

It's not the same with GE, like "tatperson" said, you have to double click home to open it.
Should be other way around..or make menu key dedicated multitask
