Anyone having issues with Home2Shortcut ? I have used this on my S3 to make Google voice search come up w/ a doublepress of the main button. With the S4, looks like it does not want to work - S-Voice keeps coming up even though I have Voice Search selected and have Home2Shortcut set as a default.
Just curious if anyone has got it working.

S voice is setup to start up by default with the double tap of home button. Go to S Voice App> Settings > Uncheck double tap to start s voice. I did this as soon as I got phone then disabled svoice without clearing its data to avoid the lag when hitting home key
That did it! Thank you my friend.

i totally disabled s voice...i setup home2 but now when i double click on the home button, i see a window open and close and its saying "say call followed by a name or a number" any ideas?
What app are you linking to? Should be Voice Search, linked to home key > App.

My Jabra headset activates VD rather than Google Now's more advanced search when held down. How can I change this default?
Thanks!
You are using cm 10.1 I'm guessing since that comes with voicedialer by default. Go into settings then apps and find voice dial under ALL and just disable it. It should default to Google now then. Either that or do what I do and delete it from the zip before I flash

Interesting: I now get a different, newer voice dialer, but still a VD. Iit got a long googlebar across the top and reads "Voice Search" in the center of a full screen with the directive: Say Call and say someone's name. Which app is this launching from?
I found an app that almost works on a non-rooted phone called Bluetooth Launch. The program has not been updated in quite some time. It is a simple program with two parts, one screen to select the activity to be assigned and a second screen to pick which button to assign, for example one long press. When I run the app I am not able to bring up the menu to select which button to assign the activity to. I am able to reassign the default button to the app and I have it calling Google Search...voicesearchactivity. It will for the most part bring up Google Now. However, sometimes it fails to do anything and sometimes it brings up GN but with the mic turned off. At the moment the headset is used to stream and answer calls. The voice dialer is painfully slow, so gets little use. Google Now and a BT headset would be a good fit, odd that there is no support.

Works well, but you have to know to go into app settings, and disable the default activity for Google Search. Otherwise Bluetooth Launch never gets a chance.
Just wrote a simple app to do this. I describe it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/bt-activate-google-voice-dialer-t3012622
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.

When I use my bluetooth (Jabra) device to make a call, it brings up S-Voice. How can I change it to bring up Google voice?
Thanks
Double click home button and select Google. If it doesn't prompt you to choose clear defaults in s voice under applications. Just a thought I don't have that blue tooth but I use Sena smh10 and that worked for me.

Home2Shortcut and Bluetooth Launch

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 with Android 4.3 (Samsung official ROM).
My solution was this:
- Disable "S Voice" under the Application settings
- install "Home2 Shortcut" from the GoogleStore and set it up so that you can double-tap the home button to launch Google Now Voice Search. I guess if you only want the bluetooth device to search, you could skip this app installation
- install "Bluetooth Launch" and select >Google Search > com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity
Connect your Bluetooth device and perform the action for your voice command (for mine its a long button press on the bluetooth headset). Set "Bluetooth Launch" as your default. Now it should open Google Now for you, with your device immediately listening for your input.
Credit for this solution goes to Benjamin Rosas, an Android user who posted this solution under the review of the Bluetooth Launch app in the Google Play Store.
Worked for me, hope it works for you too!

I achieved the same functionality without extra apps.
1. Application manager > scroll over to 'All' > S-Voice
2. Force stop, Turn Off, clear data, clear cache
3. Application manager > scroll over to 'Turned Off' > S-Voice
4. Turn On
5. Open S-Voice app and hit 'Confirm' 'Agree' 'Skip' to skip the intro tutorial, then turn on 'Double Tap Home Launch' in settings if it isn't already on. (But I think it's on by default)
6. Close S-Voice and go to homescreen
7. Double-tap home button
8. A menu to "Complete action using:" pops up, pick Google instead of S-Voice, and 'Always'.

Worked perfectly. Definitely prefer this approach over using an unnecessary app.
This doesn't work for me. Enabled Google Now. Did the above. There is no option to select. It's always SVoice

Galaxy S4 issues with Bluetooth
I'm new and found your forum. You all seem like you know what you are doing and I thought I'd run this random question by you. I've disabled S-Voice on my Galaxy S3 because I don't use it. I own a Smith helmet with Skullcandy Bluetooth Kit and a cheaper wire line Skull Candy kit. Any accidental long press activates S-Voice while I'm listening to music. It always interrupts a song and then I have to take off my gloves, pull my phone out of my jacket and exit S-Voice. It happens numerous times a day every day. It happens if my collar of my jacket bumps my Skull Candy device or because I'm wearing gloves and don't have much dexterity to know if I'm pressing it. Any idea on how to disable a long press or am I just stuck with this?
Thanks!
I really missed the Note 2 default of long pressing the menu key to invoke Google search. Here's the workaround I've been using today that I think is kind of cool:
Make sure S-Voice is enabled on your device. In the S-Voice app, use Menu>Settings to enable double tapping the home key to activate S-Voice. Also handy to set the "Hello Galaxy" command to wake the device into S-Voice.
Activate S-Voice by double tapping the home key, or saying "Hello Galaxy" while the device is asleep.
Once S-Voice is listening, say "Open Google".
Once Google search is open, you can say "Ok Google" as normal.
This sounds more involved than it actually is, and I now feel I have a way to get fast access to my preferred voice assistant again.

You can use wanam to remap hardware keys. So you can actually make it open Google now directly

Not rooted. Should probably have mentioned that.

Also should mention that, unlike remapping the buttons, this technique gives you a way to kind of "bootstrap" yourself using voice alone from screen off right into google now with the mic active.

Another option is to use a custom launcher. Apex allows you to bring up Google now with the menu key. Don't know how you feel about ditching touch wiz though.

1. Go to app S Voice, enable home key to activate S Voice.
2. Go to app info for S Voice, clear defaults.
3. Go to your touchwiz home screen and double click your home button, it should ask to set default for the search.
4. Select Google and put always.
I have google as my default this way..

Hmm. I would love for mine to work that way, but when I go into the app info for S Voice, the button to clear defaults is disabled and it says no defaults are set.
I do have the option within S Voice set to activate S Voice when double tapping the home key, and that is working.
When I posted this, I assumed everyone not rooted had the same situation as me, where there was simply no way to have anything but S Voice be the default for a home key double tap.
Seems that's not the case, though I can't imagine why.

Unfortunately, this does not work for me. When I go into S-Voice, the home key option is already enabled. The option to "clear defaults" is grayed out in the App Manager. Disabling and re-enabling the home key in S-Voice does nothing. Same with clearing all S-Voice data in the App Manager.

I can confirm that this works. If you hold the menu key for a short period, Google Now pops up and if you hold it longer S Finder pops up.
i agree with gator, home2 is the best at that. i have used it for about a yr or so and its flawless
When using my Axon 7, I noticed that whenever I long press the capacitive home button, it opens up Google voice. I'm using Nova Launcher on root and even though there is an option to change it, it doesn't work. Does anyone know how to change this?

Have you rooted yours yet? And are you sure it's Google Voice? If anything it should be the Google app.

I am sorry for any confusion. Let me explain more clearly. I am currently rooted. Also, I did not mean Google Voice. I simply meant that long-pressing the the capacitive home button launches the Google app. I want to remove that and select something else. If it can't be done then that is all that I want to know. I'll live. It really isn't a big deal. I just hope that someone has an answer.

Apologies, I didn't see that you did say you were rooted. Not sure why it won't work with Nova. I thought perhaps it might have something to do with root. Although it shouldn't.

If you have root and xposed works on it then you could try "xposed additions". Remapping home to flashlight has revolutionised how I pee at night
Has anyone figured out how to do this? I've tried every setting and app and rooted app under the sun. Absolutely nothing disables this "feature".

This method working just fine. Even with EU model. Thanks :good:
"Go to Settings. Go to All Settings. Press the search icon. Type "assist". Choose "Assist & voice input" then choose "Assist & voice input" again. Then choose what you want there."
Make sure you tap on the words "Assist & voice input" NOT on the gear icon. Then you should be able to change the setting to none. Then you can use Nova to make the changes you want.
