On my n7 i press the right hand side button and it opens a task manager on the g2 it opens an options menu.
how do i kill tasks or better still get more of a stock android experience without rooting?
Long press home button.
Or you can mod the nav bar to do it the old way. Or you can use hide soft keys app to do it and more

I'm trying to figure out how to search on this phone. With my Epic Touch, I had a hardware button in the lower right side that was dedicated for searching for items on my phone. Is there an easy way to do this on the S4? Thanks.
Well the im not sure but I think you can set up one of the buttons to do that, maybe with a launcher, I'm not sure. But by default you can just hold the home button, bringing up the multitasker and at the bottom there should be the choices of task manager, google and remove all. You can hit google to pull up search bar.

Hey everyone, is it possible to use the back button to pull up the recent apps? Rather than just using the home. I don't like pushing down on the home button for to long

It is possible to map certain hardware keys (if your rom allows it). For example, Task650 AoKP has a hardware key menu, however you cannot customize the back button for recent apps, but you can throw recent apps onto the menu button as a hold down. So you can press it for settings as normal, or hold down on it for recent apps. If you cannot find a rom that allows custom hardware button mappings than you can always use a navigation bar (Like a tablet) to access the recent apps.
I'm running CM 10.1.3 and I want my Home button to show my the recent apps i used, when i double press it. The long-press is too annoying in certain situations.
like is there an app for this? gravitybox/xposed dont have anything which were helping.
push.
literally can't find any app which allows me to friggin change double tap to recent apps -_-
Try GravityBox with the xposed Framework.

Hi, is there any way to change behavior of home button? right now you have to hold it for 2 seconds to get to task switcher. I would like to open task switcher using double tap on home button.
I have tried Home2 Shortcut, but it can only bind apps on double tap and unfortunately task switcher isn't there...
You can root and use Xposed G2 module (see G2 android development). This will allow to change buttons even to nexus style ! (Back home recent)
