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.

Is it possible to rebind Home button to open Google now with a single press ?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
you can disable s-voice when u double tap the home buttont hen use nova launcher and set it to open google search. i tried it with a display model but it didnt open up google now with the image header, just the search part of it. trying to figure out a way to do the normal way
Its possible to assign the home button to google now by double press instead of s-voice. You just have to enable this feature in sVoice settings. After that you have to disable the sVoice app in the application manager.

You do realise you can press and hold the menu button on the home screen to start Google now...?
If it didn't open up straight away and you just get the search bar, then press the menu button in the search screen and go to settings to turn on Google now. It'll open Google now the next time you press and hold the menu button from home.

Once I've set up Google Now on my phone, (as in turning it on in the search settings menu, opting in to the service, then selecting and setting up the 'cards'), when I long press the menu button, it does start up Google Now, in search mode with the cards all listed below.
OK, another option is to long press the Home button (with Google Now already set up, otherwise set it up as mentioned above) then press the square 'g' icon just above the Home button. This starts Google now in normal mode. If its not set up, then it starts in search mode only.
I get the OP's point.
Double pressing is faster long pressing.
It really is.
By the way, turning off the shortcut to Svoice (double pressing) makes the home button actions faster.

Ok, maybe im missing something here.
Ive setup Google now and disabled (and also uninstalled sVoice). Now when I long press home button, I get into recent apps and there if I touch G button on the screen I go to Google now.
Is it possible at all to start Google now just with a long press ? (Without a need to touch G button)

I didnt notice any difference. The phone still needs to distinguish a difference between a single press and a long press, right ? A single press gets you to a home screen.

The link above is for home2. You can use the app to assign google search (google now) to a double tap of the home button

Correct. Device still needs to distinguish between single/double tap & long press.
But omitting sVoice from the double tap resulted in single tap being faster. Long press action is more or less the same.
--------
I simulated it again just now.
I mapped s vice to double tap. Entered 4 apps and single pressed. Took about 2.5 seconds each time to go home.
Unmapped s voice. Took a second or a bit less.
I'll try to upload a video.
To reiterate, going to recent apa by long press takes the same time though.

I want to change the menu button to recents, and holding down home to menu
Sent from my GT-I9500 using XDA Premium HD app
there must be a way to do this...
Funny, what you want to do is exactly how mine works, and I can't avoid it!
Home button pulse from suspend, inevitably launches recents apps.
I want to use home button for wake up, letting me on home screen, and I can't. I must everytime close recents apps. Annoying!!
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.
What app can I for making the one click action for menu button to be "back" and making back button be the "recents"?
I did try look for it but I didn't find anyhting specific for note3....anyone know of a way I can accomplish this?
Thanks ahead of time!

Get xposed installer and install the "xposed additions" module. It allows you to remap any key.

Just a heads up that any remapping of the Home button breaks the ability to take screen shots with Home and Power.
And now does anyone know how to force the 3dot menu on every app? Like the s5 has now?

Since I couldn't find anything to force the on screen on app menu button I just used gravitybox to make the original back key double tap for menu.
It works alright and I don't need menu button in apps that often.

That will work too. I changed my menu to recents. I also changed long hold menu to menu, and changed the hold time from normal to short

Yeah I have my home button long press action set to be the menu key, and my back key long press is recent apps. I don't really use the menu key since I use the phone one-handed so often (right handed).
As a bonus, I have home button long press activate torch only on the lock screen.

I have xposed additions pro - I don't know whether or not that option is available in the free version.
Now they also added a screenshot function that you can bind any key short press, long press, or double tap.
Has anyone been able to successfully map Google Voice Search to long press for the home button? My goal is to have a setup where I double tap home button for multi-task window and long press for google voice search. I've tried to map it through Wanam but it doesn't work. It just shows a message at the bottom saying "shortcut has been created" when I select a specific app for it to launch. If anyone know how to get this to work, please let me know...
Thanks!!

I tried to set an app to launch through wanam xposed, but I'm not having any luck. After I select an app, long pressing the home button either doesn't do anything or it just launches google search... Has anyone been able to set the long press to a specific app? I'm wondering if using Nova Launcher conflicts with the function?
