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?

There is a 3 Dot Menu module available for use with Xposed framework.

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

Doesn't work, it'll cause an error message on every screen refresh.

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.

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'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.

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?
Hello everyone!
Saw the S5 announcement few days ago and noticed the changes made to the button layout. I'd like to know if there's a way to remap the menu button to work as a recent apps button. And better yet if it's possible to assign the "menu" function to a long press. I've searched Google but all the alternatives I see are for HTC phones or for onscreen buttons.
Thanks in advance!

Look for an app called 'Xposed Additions'. It will do both the things you want.
Installed it. Tried to configure the remapping but it's not doing anything. I hit the "remap" and a window pops up that says key code and it appears that it's waiting for some input, I hit a button but nothing happens.

Xposed Addition doesnt support KK.
Is there another way for this other than Gravity Box for TW Kitkat?

How about MenuBeGone, I'm running this on my 4.4.2 SM-N9005
And it got option to select apps that you don't want to have overflow button on them (like on Action Memo that 3-dot menu replaces delete -button, so you can't delete any memos.. but where do you need menu at all on Action Memo, so just uncheck it on MBC and you're good)
Edit: And it also can remap long press on menu button to show menu (while menu button is remapped to open recent apps)

Which build are you on? (also towelrooted?)
So you remapped menu button=recent and long press=menu. (like on the S5?)
I dont get what you mean with the Action memo though. But from the Description of the App I can tell that youre talking about the Whitelisting?
Thanks.

Yes, some apps get "broken" look when 3-dot menu is enabled on them (like contacts) and yes, long press on "settings" button opens menu, while short opens recent tasks.
About Action Memo see screenshot: menu button "hides" detelete if not whitelisted from MBC
Edit: to make it clear, that module enables "3-dot menu button" on all applications by default. From module settings you can disable that button on selected apps. That module also sets devices settings button to open recent tasks and long press to open settings (so by long pressing you can reach menu also on apps you have disabled to use 3-dot menu)

I got it, thanks. Tried out and its working fine. In Nova launcher the Menu button blinks a lot though - on long press.
There is a certain delay. But I think i will try xposed additions some time later but for now its fine i guess
Thank you!
So I got an app and there is no dedicated settings button in it and I was thinking if there is on the phone a way like long press or double tap a specific key to open the settings menu like the note 3 had a settings button instead of the recent app.
I really need to go in the settings otherwise I can't use the app if someone knows a way how to it!
Thanks
Long press back key to get to the settings menu.
