Which buttons exactly. It does not work for windows button. For home and back it does not work for single press (aka always default option). In regards of home and back buttons the single press is always stock while you can setup only for one of them long press. It will work on home and back.
Volume up/down works single press, double press, triple press and long press works. Single press, double press and long press works for phone green button. Nothing seems to work for phone red button as it always switches off the device.
1. Can I still slide along the notification bar to change brightness? I recall loving this in my old Captivate. CyanogenMod adopted this feature later on.
2. Can I customize what the soft buttons do? CM10 on Galaxy S3 was completely customizable (i.e. button press vs double tap vs long press).
Can Touchwiz customize any of this in stock?
My ideal button behavior is:
long press menu= recent apps
long press home button= voice search
double tap home button= disabled (i.e. just takes you home like a single press, no lag)

1. Not on current TouchWiz. U would need custom mods for that.
2. Not on current TouchWiz. U might want to try out Nova Launcher. It lets you customize actions for those buttons. As far as the lag in home button, you can disable this in S Voice in settings. Once you do that there is no lag when you press Home button.

what file do I need to modify to remap the home button .. i have tried
system/usr/keylayout/atmel_mxt_ts.kl
system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl
there are tons of other files, which one is the correct one??
I want to remap home button to turn on/off screen ... as I have the ridiculous issue with my s5 where the screen does not wake up (only the capacitive keys light up)
Home already wakes the phone up, NOVA Launcher can map it to any shortcut or app you like, find one that locks the screen and map it to that
Or are you saying that Home no longer wakes up the screen?
Settings > Device > Accessibility > Dexterity and interaction > Air Wake Up
You can wake the phone up by waving your hand over the sensors

I want the home button to behave exactly as the power button...i once remapped it but i forgot which file I edited
Anyone has programmed a "Double tap action" on the HOME button ?
Don't you notice some "lag" when touching only one time the HOME button?
I know it has to wait to seek if a second tap is coming but I think it waits too much time!
Disabling "Double tap action" on the HOME button makes HOME button very fast as expected!
I also facing this issue
Yeah, I noticed this issue, too.
I've disabled the double tap action because of that.
we decide didn't use it until this issue has been solved
It's because of the method double tap works. Everytime you press the home button, phone is waiting on second response. This same thing has happened on cyanogemod/lineage for as long as I can remember across all my devices...

I'm willing to bet it was there lol.
Can't do the test ... sold it
3t user here..
I can confirm exact the same behaviour if you set an action for double tap....home button is not so responsive on single tap .
That delay has to be there, it's by design.
If you assign a double tap action to any button, after the first tap, there's a delay that results from the system waiting for the second tap, if this second tap is recognized, it performs the assigned action, if not, it performs the regular single tap action.
It there wasn't that delay in there, every single double tap action would be immediately preceded by the single tap action, which would be very very much annoying.
For example, home button - single tap is return to home. If we assigned a double tap to, let's say, turn on the flashlight, without the delay, the process would go like this:
- You're inside an app and want to turn on the flashlight,
- Double tap the home button
- Because there's no delay, you would immediately be taken to the home screen (single tap action) and only then the flashlight would turn on (double tap action).
That's NOT how it should behave at all.
So, in conclusion, you either have to live with a short delay when assigning double tap actions to buttons or disable the double tap action and have no delay.
Note: this delay is present not only for double tap actions on the HOME button but also for the RECENTS and BACK button.
Note 2: this delay is present in EVERY single ROM that has this ability to assign double tap actions to physical buttons (not just OOS).
Personally, I just turn off the double tap action and use longpress instead, there's no delay that way.
Double Tap Options all off!
Case closed.
But but why there is no delay when you press the multitasking button? . That has also a default double tap for quick switch (alt tab) to previous app!
.. but as soon as you customize the double tap of this button you get a delay!
It must have something to do with the finger print scanner function on the home button too.
But the delay is present on all 3 capacitive buttons if you put a custom double tap action.. so i don't think it has anything to do with fingerprint sensor, more of a deliberately action of an increased timeout.
Well.. hope they will decrease the timeout or at least make it customizable
Do you notice it on the back button? I tested and it seems no different.
Yes i notice it on back button too. Just retested.
No double tap - instant. Custum double tap - delay
Yup! I also confirm know.
I was using double tap on home / back to turn off the screen.
Just changed to long press.
No lag now and same objective done!
isnt there a prob setting or so to adjust the delay ?
Hi,
I'm using OOS 4.5.10 and was wondering is there a way to configure the short press action as I would like to change recent apps menu from short press to long press action as sometimes my palm or fingers touches it and it brings up the recent apps menu which I don't like, but there is no option to change in Buttons settings?
