Hope this is in the correct place but here we we go.
If you want to access the service menu on your tab: open contacts app, select settings, hold your finger on the screen just above the small apps remote for five seconds then release, you should get a bar appear saying enter service code, hit this button and a dialler will appear, Enter *#*#7378423#*#* and you are into the service menu.

If you head to unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com and click start unlocking the bootloader there is a link explaining what I have posted in the first paragraph of the instructions . So not my work but useful info to have on the forum I think.

Method 1:
1. Place the palm of your hand on the screen of S4. Make sure the phone is unlocked, because it won’t work on the locked screen.
2. Swipe your hand across the screen in either direction, left or right. You should hear a camera shutter sound along with a notification appearing on screen saying “copied to clipboard”. You can find the screenshot in your photo Gallery.
(make sure the “Palm motion” option is turned on. To on/off this option, go to Settings -> Motions and gestures -> Palm motion)
Method 2:
simply press lock key and home button at the same time. Hold both the buttons at same time till you hear the camera shutter sound.

Touch the screen when swiping your hand
Sent from my Galaxy using xda premium
enable palm swipe and swipe across the screen with your hands in contact with screen
Palm swipe works, it's just not as sensitive as it was compared to the S3/Note 2. You need to apply a bit more pressure.

Hold the power+home button for a second or turn on the gesture setting to take screenshots by swiping your screen with the side of your hand

Nothing has change as far as i know , it still should work as explained above......
power + home button should work unless you have issues with your buttons and palm swipe to capture should work as long as you enable it at motions and gestures.......
how did you flash rom? , clear dalvick and cache , clear cache for touchwiz home from the application manager and see if it helps...if not reflash rom again
BACKUP FIRST!!
Actually i tried all of it.
But none of it worked.
How has this got to two pages?
Its volume down and power at the same time, home button is not required...never has been on s4

Maybe double press? Home2 Shortcut
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eikatou0.appspot.home2shortcut
I prefer double tap is just treated as two separate taps and leaves me in my home screen.
Long press the home button to launch voice search is ideal because I can initiate the press in my pocket as I pull out the phone.
This is one of the main reasons I've run cyanogenmod in the past. But if there is another way to get this functionality somehow through root access that would be ideal in the meantime.

You must turn off S-Voice. By default home double click is reserved for Samsung S-Voice.

Launch S-Voice then press menu/settings scroll down and uncheck S-Voice. Works for me.

There are about 7 programmed gestures which are fully customizable.
Excellent.
I've done the following:
(Short) swipe up: recent apps
(Long) swipe up: Google search
Swipe up then down: retract notification menu
Swipe up then right: shortcut to contact
Swipe up then left: opens rss reader
Perfection.
How do I set a different activation method besides using the default drag handle. Cant seem to set a hardware key to do to as there is no option for it, only to open the app itself, not the switcher.

Install app (be sure, that app installed to /system/priv-app, it`s Important !!! Maybe reboot needed.)
Ok, OmniSwith drawer appears when you press key assigned as "Last App list" (sorry for my inaccurate translate)
Eg long press HOME button.
And next step, I turn OFF "DRAG HANDLE" in OmniSwith settings (to facilitate interface)
Enjoy ...

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, it still does not work. If I try to double click Home button I still get Recent Apps List. I also tried all the Nova Launcher options for shortcuts as well.
What I was hoping to do was use a Gesture Launcher , like Nova Launcher (or others like LMT) and be bale to use a gesture to open up Omniswitch drawer .....
Any luck on this ?

Looking in this link: https://github.com/omnirom/android_frameworks_base/commit/13d9f74a72136786a8ddcf3fd02bf07ab2a02073 we can see how ominirom system call ominiswitch overlay. Thinking that I did a app that call the overlay and you can use in a custom gesture of your launcher.
If can help improve this alternite, help me on github: https://github.com/augustoicaro/Toggle-OmniSwitch

Just download app in my last post and overlay recent app's button function, if you can do this in your rom(button will call the app).
If not, call app as launcher's gesture or other way that you kwon to call a app.
When you call the app, the omniswicth overlay will open(like swipe blue overlay on right border).
If you can't config this, please pm me.
Please, check if packge of ominiswitch that you use is org.omnirom.ominiswitch. If not, send me via pm the packge name and I compile other app for your packge.
Cheers.
