Does anyone know how to set the home button so when you long press it, it will send you to your recent apps menu? Before I rooted the phone when I long pressed the home button it would open the recent apps menu? But ever since I rooted it only opens up Google now, or a single click opens up Magazine? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Did you install Xposed framework by any chance?

I've tried unistalling and re-installing Launcher pro but I don't get the option to select TW or LP when i hit the home key. I forced TW to stop and cleared data but is still goes back to TW when pressing home.
Any ideas?
Thanks

If you press the home button you should have a choice to pick which launcher you want to use.

Key word: should. The whole point of this thread is that hitting the home key didn't give the option like it should have.
You could also go into app setting under default launcher and turn tw asus default off.
Happened to me before.

Hi, im running xnote v8 and was wondering, if there is anything available wether as an add on, wanam module or root app or an in rom tweak that can shorten the delay between when holding the home button to bring up the recent apps as I find it too long even on stock touchwiz.

I use xposed framework, and the module xposed aditions, you need root for this
When ever I tap on xposed aditions, it judt gives me a little prompt saying "This module does not provide a user interface" the module was already installed with the ROM I believe, tried Uninstalling it then reinstalling it but it doesnt uninstall although it says it does. And updating it doesnt work either as it saying "an existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is installed.
Any advice?

the reason there is delay when you press home button, is because system is waiting to see if it's double press to bring up voice command screen. There is a menu where you can disable double click and that should make wait much shorter, but I can't remember which menu is it ATM. This works on stock, I can't help with custom software.
Look in the Play store for Switcher. You can swipe from the bottom, left or right side of screen to open recent apps.

just install nova launcher or go launcher ex and create a gesture, one or two fingers sliding up to show the recent apps. a lot more convenient and quicker to access recents.

This seems like a much better option than trying to map a double click of the home key. Here's to hoping it works!
Is it possible to open Google now instead of crappy s voice when you double tap the home button? I've tried home2 but it's not a great solution. Eventually my phone started redrawing my launcher when going back to the homescreens.
Yes .
Of course.
Use wanam xposed.
Yiu can select any app you want

In wanam all I see is an option to change the longpress behavior. It does open gnow, but I have no way to open recents with that function reassigned.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've used Nova, I just don't like it personally.
I got tired of long pressing to get to menu so I made a flashable zip to make recents button the menu button.Make a backup to go back to undo this mod if you want to go back.This only tested on T-Mobile N910T

I'm relatively new to Nova, is there a way to swap the menu and recent apps with Nova. I can't seem access the menu function with this launcher.
swap without this mod or swap with this mod u mean?
Sorry I meant without the MOD, since I'm not rooted. I thought nova might have this, but I can't seem to find it.
to swap it no way thats y I made the mod most things you have to root.

Gravity box (navigation keys), I run nova and the single tap of recent = menu. Long press = recent apps

Thanks for making this! I still haven't gotten used to tap-recents, long press-menu
but a few questions
1. For stock Touchwiz is it tap - menu and long press-recents yeah?
2. Could I just back up the Generic.kl file in the device and take the one from the zip to replace? And vice versa if I wanted to go back to just replace it with the old one?
3. Also can you/I just replace the generic.kl file in the zip with the one on the device to make a flashable version to go back? Or is making flashable zips not as easy or simple as I thought? Lol

touchwiz i dont think they have a way to assign long button behavior so dont think long press would bring recents and second yes if u replace after u flash my zip and want the old way back yes switch the generic file and u should be back or u can backup rom and restore.

Wait so the mod only makes the button the menu button a single option button? If so how do you get to the recent apps?

I did that for a while but the downside is you have to be already on the homescreen for it to work... At least on beta 4. I looked into doing this mod myself but just decided on Gravitybox vs Wanam. You get way more options for customization. But this is cool for those with issues with xposed or who prefer Wanam module Good work!
I used Gravitybox to remap the recents button to short press=menu, long press=recents. Needs root & Xposed obvs, but it works. I also have long press back to launch google.
Weird thing though- I can't find any options for button remapping in Nova. I can set the home button to whatever I want but no others.

Wow, I literally do not have that option at all. Then again, I'm on the latest beta so maybe they removed it for some reason...?
Recently I noticed that when pressing the home button it does not direct me back to the home page screen. Is it a bug?

I have the same issue and no amount of factory resets fixes it. I don't want to have to use Nova as it doesn't allow wallpaper to go full view #thenotch. But if this isn't fixed soon I'm going to have to.

Use the white list editor and Nova works fine using the full screen.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not familiar with the white list editor. Does it require root? I'm not looking to root my phone ultimately to fix something that should work out of the box on a $700 phone.

Has nothing to do with root but a working knowledge of how adb works
