Coming from a Note 1 where I had a nice capacitive button to activate search.
Really don't want to keep a widget on my home screen just to get to Google Now/Search, but can't figure out how to map a hardware button to it.
Help?
What about a custom launcher with user defined functions invoked by a gesture?

Ya, I suppose that fixes all my problems. I was trying to stick with touchwiz for once, but I've finally bit the bullet and went back to Nova.
Thanks

Google Now: hold home key / middle option

Another option: check out Swipepad!

This is ridiculously annoying. Anyone know a way to disable it?

what is "hold home button"
Well, no way currently. I can guarantee, though, that you will be able to change completely these types of functionalities in a couple weeks with some good custom ROMs. Anybody else really excited to see what for AOKP does with Jelly Bean?
I don't know what you are referring to. I hold the home button and Google appears so I can more over it.
Other than that, nothing.

I think that's what he is referring to. He doesn't want anything to happen when he holds the home button.
OIC..yeah I don't think there is a way to change that.
It should be disabled in full screen apps. Such as a gesture to bring up the Google thing. Then a second gesture to activate it

Without installing some ROM it shouldn't be possible. Also, stop bumping this thread up - it's been answered a few posts back.
Sometimes while using the Spen, I have to hit the Back button to go back or use the Back gesture which is not very practical since pressing the button is kinds annoying at times.
In the Galaxy Note 10.1 it simple to go back since the Back button is a touch button.
So is there another way to hit Back on the GN2?

There was an app in the galaxy nexus forums that enabled you to make gestures for basically every action you might think of. If I remember the name , i'll link it here ( not sure if it will work though, but i think it may will ).
EDIT : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535740
i think it was this... its really easy to use , just make a 2 finger swype gesture to from right to left to use instead of back
If you're rooted try smartswitcher from the play store.

I am former Note 1 user and waiting for Note 2.
But I can help
Hoping this options still unchanged from Note 1,
Swipe Pen from right to left by holding pen button = back
Swiping pen on screen from bottom to top by holding button on pen works like menu/option button.
Swiping pen from top to bottom whole holding pen button brings back to home screen.

I think you can write arrow symbol with the Spen to go either side back or forward.
The thing is I was hoping for a way without actually holding the Spending button.

I think it's changed, naturally I tried those gestures coming from the GN1 too, but they didn't work. They have decided to change the bloody commands, it's like learning another language lol.

Hi guys, new Note user here. Love the device, amazing piece of tech. Few questions: volume rocker is bit loose. Anyone with this issue? How do I access Google music, there is no app just the Samsung one. When the screen is off, pressing home button wakes the device. Any way to disable it? Thanks a lot.

Now I will be getting the Note 2 soon. I own a Samsung Galaxy R or less commonly know as Samsung Galaxy S2 Tegra. Google Music isn't really worth the trouble. Might I suggest PowerAmp. Its the best audio player available on the Play Store. Its for 5$ currently I got it for 2$ when it was on limited sales discount.
About the phone waking up when you hit the home button. Looks like you have disabled the screen lock. Go to Settings>Security>Screen Lock>Select Swipe with No Pattern.
Hope this helps.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET THE WHOLE LOOK AWAY PAUSE WORKING ON THIS PHONE?!?!?!?! Since day one I've been trying to get that to work and nothing....not one single time did that damn feature work....
I hope I helped @corybucher if so hit the thanks =) lol
P.S. corybucher ........this is in the wrong section...it's supposed to go in Q&A a mod will probably move you soon
believe the look away pause feature is only for the stock video player
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
The look away or "Smart Pause" feature also works in the youtube app. It worked for me without even trying and is definitely a cool feature to show off the s4. Just make sure you enable "Smart Pause" in the settings under settings, my device, smart screen.

That's one of the ones I tried but it was weird. It would notify me of missed calls but I would still get the stock SMS notification (yellow box) also, the missed calls would only clear from my lock screen if I pulled down my notification bar. I'll give it another shot.

I was able to get the dash clock one to work but how do I make it my default lock screen? Every time I lock my phone it goes back to the stock lock screen. When I long press the lock screen I can cycle between the 2 lock screens but I can't "trash" the stock one like I can the dash clock one. I also can't change the order of them. I though maybe if I placed the dash clock in front of the stock it would set as default...no dice.

Move the dash clock one all the way to the right.

what rom are you on? if there is an option in the lockscreen settings to use aosp or touchwiz lockscreen choose touchwiz and on your lockscreen touch and hold the clock you want to remove and remove it. click the plus sign symbol and add dashclock. go into your messaging app, go into settings and uncheck the option to "preview message". that should fix your problem
I used lockerpro lock screen it works really good. Also used dynamic notifications its simple and just like the moto x active notifications. I don't use anything anymore just stock light notification.
