I have tried several ROMs, and keep having this issue. Using start button to wake up the phone (is far more comfortable for me that use the Power button), it launches Recent Apps window.
I use Apex Launcher and have tried several configurations, but didn't help. It happens with the Touchwiz and with Holo Launcher HD, too.
Any help would bee appreciated.

Hi
Is it possible to remap the button around the apps button on the home screen? The ones I'm talking about are the mail/browser/music/photos buttons. I'm on elocitymod 1.0c (and loving it)
thanks
Moved to general as not android development.
I don't know how to do this with the default launcher. However, if you install another launcher such as Launcher Pro (found in the market) it will allow you a lot more customization including remapping the button. Just press and hold the button you want to remap.

i use ADW-Launcher, but i move the app to the homescreen, then instead of dragging it to the trash like i would remove it, i drag it over the button i want it to replace... default homescreen should work the same way...
Thanks. using launcher pro after trying adw as well. Adw has a lot of nice features. But I prefer the stability and speed of launcher pro. I also find home switcher useful to switch b/w launchers when I need to.
would it be possible to download a task manager and modify the behavior of the home button so that a long press brings it up like on the GSII?
If you get ADW launcher EX, it has this functionality.

I wish I could get ADW or launcher pro to work. Only go launcher will work on my Fire. All the others FC!

Cant find this setting. Can you tell me where it is?

Menu - More - ADWSettings - General behavior - Gestures - Home key binding.
Then select "Open app..." I imagine any app is selectable there. (tbh i think Gestures is an odd place)
Though I now realize that's not long press, but simple tap of the home key. However, you have swipe down and swipe up to use as well.
I sideloaded ADW Launcher without any trouble. Are you rooted, BriDroid?

As an alternative, you can download and an app called Task Switcher in the market. It essentially replaces the initial function of pressing the Home button. Once installed if you press the home button it brings up a task manager similar to the default on most phones and tablets. One of the choices is the standard home app, in my case Go Launcher but it works for any Home screen app. Press home a second time and it will bring up a choice menu where I press Go Launcher.
Next time you press the home button twice takes you to your desktop top.
So effectively it provided the task manager function with the only caveat, that I've found, is you have to press it twice if you want to go to the actual home screen, which for me is no big deal. I'm already used to pressing the home button twice quickly to get to the desktop.
Delete/Ignore - It was Home2 Shortcut. I always have it set from the start, and didn't even think of it.
I'm on US Cellular, but heard our phones are very similar. I have this annoying problem when I press the Home button. It appears to happen with both the hw button and an app, like Ultimate Dynamic Navbar. I press it to go to my default screen (Nova launcher, not in foreground), and the Recent Apps pops up for a split second before going to the home screen. Not sure when it exactly started, but happened on both Vanir and CyanFox ROMs. I'm on KT kernel and tested with default settings and the Hydra profile. Thanks for your help.
Edit: When on a different screen on the launcher, it'll show the Recent Apps, then remain on that screen.
Edit: Before I have any recent apps, it'll just flash a black screen for the same amount of time. Something's causing a delay. In Accessibility, I changed the Touch & hold delay from Short, Medium, Long with no change.

Hello
I need some suggestions to what might be causing the Home Button delay that I experience.
I got a D802 running Pardus HD Classic 7.7 and dorimanx 7.8. I use Nova Launcher. Every time I press the Home button to return to the Launcher, I experience a delay/lag. I thought Xposed caused it, so I disabled it, but it wasn't that.
I tried forcing Nova Launcher into RAM (aggressive desktop) without luck.
Please note that the delay also occurs if you're in the app drawer and press the home button. If you press the back button, it reacts quickly as it's supposed to do.

EDIT: Stock LG launcher is also laggy
There used to be patch on Nexus 4 which would remove home button delay. You may want to search that forum under themes and apps.
Does this rom have voice mate?
This caused me an issue like this. After I deleted the app, it became much faster
I have the Fire HD 10 11th generation running Fire OS 7.3.2.3. I used Fire Toolbox v28.2 to assign custom Launcher Action to the Home Button. The problem that I have is that upon restarting the system, the Home Button is missing and I cannot recover it. The back and recent buttons work just fine. Regardless of the launcher used (I tried Nova Launcher and the system default), the Home Button will not appear. I have searched this forum but did not find an effective way to recover the Home Button (There was the suggestion to use Device Setup App, but I cannot find a version of the app that will run on my device). I do not want to do a Factor Update as it would mean reinstalling all of my data. Any assistance is appreciated in getting the Home Button back. Thanks.
No sure if you solved the problem.
I had got the same problem with you, and got solved by using Fire Toolbox client Installer (.exe) instead of Portable (.zip).
My Home Button now shows in screen.
