I am so used to my S3 I would love an option to switch the home button and menu button so that home is my apps list and menu is the google now / s voice
Dont see why they changed something everyone was used to since S2 and I cant see them changing it back either
My hardware buttons are back to the old S4 way. Used xposed and gravity box love it!

I think, you just need to download a third party app to get what you want.
I havent found a single third party app that would do it yet.
Stallion, do u have any links showing how to do it? Will it require root? Im looking for a non-root method for the time being

You need root to use xposed. Not sure of any non root methods, pretty sure you can't without root.

To open "Recent apps" you have to press and hold the Home button.
The alternative way is install the 'Android Missing Shortcuts' app and select 'Recent Apps' in the main screen.

S finder is bugging me. It pops every time i hold the menu button instead of apps built in search function. Is there a way to reverse tihs behaviour.

You'll probably have to root and freeze or uninstall S-Finder.
Found one solution: Tasker profile
Trigger:
Variable Set: %WIN
Value: S Finder
Action:
Open Google search
You NEED to enable tasker service from Settings -> Device -> Accessibility -> Under Services there is "Tasker - JB"
CAUTION! This will disable one handed "windowed" mode for some reason.
Only way i have found to use menu key as Google now, but really bad way since it breaks windowed mode.
And why so hard way? because for some reason Tasker doesn't show S Finder in app list...
Also made post to Tasker group
Yes. This has to get fixed

If you don't care about using S Finder, you can freeze it in Titanium.

This only stops S Finder to appear, I want to use app's built in search function with holding menu button.
same here, S Finder is easy to freeze, but the TouchWiz must try to start google, instead if internal bloat.
For me, if I hold the search menu, it will start Google search... But if I hold it a little more, s finder will start. I'm using a third party launcher (nova launcher) which has an option for the menu button... But this does not disable s finder from appearing.
If my device is not rooted, is there a way to freeze s finder?
This is pissing me off too. I got svoice disabled (double tapping home) but not svoice.
Anyone else have a crack at this? I can't get it to disable in the applications menu. It's greyed out.
Some launchers let you set the options.
Otherwise, don't think you can without rooting. Irritatingly, because S Finder keeps running and I never have nor ever will use it. I remember where I keep things...

Install a different launcher. It lets you set the button controls. (Apex, Nova, Next, TSF..)

this does not completely work...
I have Nova Launcher... and when I select Google Search for the menu button, yes it will lanch Google... but if I hold it a little more, S Finder will open over Google Search.
I hope there's a solution for this. It's an annoying "feature".

This is great for those of use that have already rooted our Note 3's, but with the Knox warranty issue I was hoping to find a solution that doesn't require root access. I have several friends with Note 3's that aren't rooted.

It prevents s finder from opening but holding menu button still does not activate apps built-in search function.

Anyone knows how to hide apps in Note 3? I'm used to that feature in Note 2. Couldn't get it in Android 4.3.1

I also saw this feature on the Note 3 but could not find it now. I did see it before though.
When you are in your apps tap the menu key and hit Un install disable

Hey there,
Go into your app Drawer.
Hit your menu key.
Then tap on the uninstall/disable apps
Please don't forget to say thanks

I did that. If I did that then the option that follows is to uninstall the application.
Doesn't work. I hit the button but it uninstalls the app. I need to hide few stock apps which I don't use.

Searched for that too.
Don't think it is possible on he Note 3, I couldn't find it.
This is weird because when I was at the Electronics shop and was playing around with the Note 3 that was out on Display it did have the option to hide apps but now I can not find it on my own Note 3. If I am not mistaken I had also seen it on my Note but looked every where for this feature and it just seems to have vanished.
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.

Also interested.
Have the same thing here
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
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!
Good morning all,
I feel so stupid for asking this, but the menu button does not seem to work the way my other androids did in the past. Is there a function that I need to turn on or something? Thanks
install GravityBox and reassign buttons)) or just try to long press Recent button
Ok will do. thanks for your help sir.

Not sure if this is launcher specific but I'm using Nova Prime and if you long press the menu button, then the original menu items pop up instead of recent apps. I never test with TW launcher. Discovered this later. But this way you don't have to remap with gravity box.

I'm not even sure what gravitybox even is. I tried to see if it was in the app storre. someone else in the thread recommended to do so....
FYI - the layout used in the S5 is the standard Android button layout and you will see fewer and fewer devices using a dedicated menu button, as there's no need for it in Android 4.x+

Gravity BOX is a module that is installed after you first use Xposed Installer. Google this or look it up in a search here on XDA.
on my Sprint GS5 as soon as i removed the magazine tab i could continously scroll in one direction, it wouldnt stop when it hit one end, on the verizon one i got today this doesnt seem to be the case, is there a stupid setting i am not finding?

long press on the recent apps button (or one of the home screens) to bring up the screen menu, hit "home screen settings" then uncheck "my magizine"

Ill try this also.thanks man!
I found this too
I spoke with a Samsung rep at Best Buy about it and he said that the Sprint phones were able to circle all the way around like my Verizon GSIII would but for some reason even after removing the "My Magazine" it still won't loop. Hopefully someone finds a solution for this soon.
Put Nova on and spin away!!!!
