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)

First, download this app :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS5rYXRlY2NhLnNjcmVlbm9mZmxvY2siXQ..
This app just do one thing: turn off the screen
Then there's two ways
Turn off htc one using nova launcher
1.buy nova launcher prime.
2.go to gesture settings.
3.set any gestures (I prefer double tap) to open app, and make it open this app.
4.done.if you double tap nova launcher home screen now, it will turn off.
Another way is to use Google now command:
1.set button command as long press home for menu and Swipe up for Google now
2.do Google now command by swiping up
3.complete action using the app 'screen off'
4.now swiping up the home screen will turn off the screen (but you have to find another way for Google now-I don't use so )
Hope this thread helps, with this and volume wake up, you won't have to press power button ever again

I use Tasker with proximity sensor to switch on and off screen when my flip case is opened or closed respectively.

Tap to Unlock and Lock (stock HTC one)
HTC ONE.
No LED app
Time Display Constantly
When u tap home button, HTC one will unlock
Screen off and lock ,
Set HTC one gesture as Swipe up for Google now and Set Screen off as default app
Now when u swipe up from home button it will lock !
If you're rooted then try custom roms and kernels. I use elementalx kernel and it has power on options such as swiping from back to home button, double tapping screen, volume on, and htc button hold on.
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 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.

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 all,
I'm really happy with new Lollipop' based roms since last November
But at the moment I've set the double tip on HOME BUTTON of the nav bar the MENU function... 'cause in Lollipop, for the rom available in this period, there's no way to customize the soft keys and having 4 buttons :
* home
* menu
* recent
* back
I'm using an app to simulate 4th MENU button on the nav bar. Anyone knows a mod to flash to have the availability to change this behaviour ? To add another button ? To custom it ?
Thx :highfive:
What app did you use to simulate the menu button?

The name was Virtual Menu Root Button, u can't find it anymore on Google Play 'cause is old, no more support. The developer is the same of :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.ne.neko.freewing.VirtualButtonRoot
that released this new one with all the buttons
I am not a big fan of giving Google its own button when I have a google search bar on my home screen and can just say "ok Google"
On my Note 4, I was able to program long press "home" to link to a shortcut - all I had to do was disable s-voice and i was prompted to select an action. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to do this on the S7 Edge.
For what its worth, the app shortcut I run is called "last app switcher" that allows you to toggle back and forth between two apps (very useful for apps that do not support split display). It even ignores the home screen, so you can go App1, home screen, app2 and then use long press home to get back to app1.

Only problem is the phone might slow down and get chuggy if you enable any accessibility options.
