Making Multitasking faster - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if there was anyway to make the multitasking pop up faster when I press the LED light button. I like really fast pop up for faster multitasking so i was wondering. Thank you!

Default browser settings

I'm really enjoying using the default browser, particularly the scroll speed compared to my old HD2, but I was wondering if anyone knows how to adjust the following:
Moving the ' stop/bookmark' button to the left side of the url bar, rather than the right. This would make it soooo much easier to use just holding it in your left hand.

Task switcher compatible with SGS button layout?

I'm looking for a task switcher that shows all running apps (and not like the default android one which only shows the 6 most recent). The ones I've come across seem to require a long press of the search button to activate, but the SGS lacks a dedicated search button.
Does anyone know of one that uses another shortcut, long press home / double tap home for example?
This is exactly what I'm looking for, but I've been searching through in market place for something that let's me assign program to hardware key action. No luck so far. Any experienced folks know if it's possible to customize the phone this way?
I have used taskswitcher and prehome..both function pretty much the same way...tap home button once shows all running apps and hitting it once more from the app switch screen takes you to the home screen. I kinda prefer prehome as it seems to use less memory but then again theres really not much of a difference imo..hope this helped..

Great recommendation. Will try it out. Thank you very much for sharing is.
Lovely. Pressing home will show the truly still running task instead of recently used ones. It's lets you kill or switch to any active program.
So, long press home to show last 6 most recently used programs
single press home will invoke the task manager, allowing killing and switching.
Double press home to really go to home.
Sounds like what I want. Seems a little buggy, but I'm happy with it at least for now.

Mapping video recording button

With the insanely fast work of the developers it's now possible to record video in 720p! The only problem is the lack of a physical button on the HD2.
I was wondering if it were possible to map the recording button to one of the volume buttons on the rocker. I know retrocamera allows custom mapping but I have no idea how difficult it might be in this case. Is it possible?
And thank you developers for your insanely awesome hard work!

Yes in the latest froyo roms 72o p works and seems to be fast , but the only missing thing is the button , (like sitting infront of a beautiful cake but cannot touch it )
Would it be possible to map it to long press of home because thats kind of a useless function for the most part anyway.

Not for the most part, but, it'll be ok for the camcorder
I'm pretty sure the action is DPAD_CENTER. If you could bind that to a button or something it should do the job for hitting the trackball. Pressing and holding Homekey to do a trackball click would be ideal IMO if it's possible.
Nothing at all works when I try and open the camcorder.
I can take photos fine, but the second i switch to video its a force close
Any update on this? Would be fun to see if 720p video recording in Froyo would work.

[Q] Most recent lag

Hi,
Got a little problem which quite annoys me.
Opening 'Recent Apps' with the physical button takes too long. If I use for example the nova homescreen shortcut it opens instant, but if I open it at the same moment with the physical button it takes about half a second to show.
I prevents me from having the nice multitask experience which the hardware is definitely capable of. Is there someone who got a fix? I already tried disabling all animations.

[Q] Any way to make Recent Apps button faster on Lollipop?

Hi guys, I would just like to have everyone know I love my Note 4 N910F but the one I absolutely hate about it is the recent apps button lag is ridiculous. I was hoping that the Lollipop update would fix the massive delay/lag when pressing the recents button and although it did a little bit, there's still a massive delay. I used a Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5 which were both low-mid range phones that had absolutely no lag when pressing the recents button.
I'm currently on Rooted Stock Lollipop, is there anything that can be done to make recent apps pop up more instanty? I'll flash another Lolipop Rom providing it's fast, stable with good battery life and someone can confirm there is no recents delay?

Actually there is no lag. It is a feature when holding recent button it acts as a menu button. There is a same thing with home button, it waits for double click to open s voice instead going to home instantly. You can disable s voice but I think you can't disable menu button feature.
