IMHO, this is what makes S-Voice a piece of junk. I got frustrated with this and used the Home2 Shortcut app to remap my double home button to Google Now.

Long press problem

I recently updated to DJ05 with both Super Clean .9 and Stupid Fast (Whatever the newest is.) A day later,everything is working fine except when I try to longpress to move a shortcut or widget. I receive a small vibration but no ability to move. I'm using Adwlauncher, as well.
Does anyone know what could cause this?

I have noticed the new adw launcher has an option to lock the desk top. If u press the menu soft key it may say unlock desk top. Just something to try sounds like it may be the cause

The latest ADW version kills long press. No idea why, it just does. Switch to LP or Touchwiz and you get the button back. Shortcut apps from the market have no effect. It caused me to buy LP+ and I regret not doing it sooner.
Lastly, this should be in general, not development.
ya if u mean voice search via long press of the search key it is messed up. However there is a work around for this as well. Double press the search key first to open the search then long press it to get to voice search. However in your original post it sounds more like the desktop is locked to me just unlock it and should be good

Home button lag

Anyone notice a 1-2 second lag time when you click the home button?
I notice that I can close the app drawer much faster if I use the capacitive back button to the right of the home button, instead of the home button. I read another post that this might be due to S Voice because it is waiting to see if you will double click the home button to activate A voice. Tried disabling s voice but still have lag.
It's getting a little annoying for me especially considering that the rest of the phone is so snappy.

Disable the S-Voice home-button double-tap in settings and the lag disappears.
Where in settings is this located in can't seem to find it.

This eliminates about 50% of the lag. Hopefully someone comes up with a fix for it.

Bluetooth headset: How to open Google Now rather than Voice Dialer (It's terrible)?

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.
Disable Google Search default launch

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

Home2Shortcut

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.
