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 ?

I saw a nifty thing on a nokia the other day (i've not been a nokia owner for about 7 years so this may have been around for a while already)...
double tapping the screen, anywhere, shows the time...brilliant.
Got me thinking if it is possible to define an action for a double tap on the screen of the touch hd. A double tap anywhere on the screen and not linked to the location of the tap. Is there any way to recognise a double tap (and then ignore the location of the tap and run some other defined event instead)?
This would be great functionality if it existed.
Just a thought/request.
cheers, cojo
p.s. still waiting to find a way to turn the hd on without using the power button or stylus withdrawal..!
Is there a way to change the double tap of the home button to something other then the camera. I'd like to put a different app on this if possible?

I've been using a combination of Home2 Shortcut and Recent Task 2 to have my home button launch recent apps when I double tap it. You must disable the double tap camera function on your S7 to get it to work.
Home2 Shortcut is a really old app but it still works. It acts as a home launcher replacement that listen to how many times the home button is tapped. The app's settings lets you choose what app to open when it's double tapped and what home launcher to open when it's single tapped.
Thanks, shoremunkey, I'll try them out.
Yes, download "Home2 Shortcut" app.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for.
Also "all in one gestures". It doesn't have the double tap feature, but it allows you to reassign the home back and recent buttons to whatever you like. It provides different functions for holding, and also gives the option to use edge swiping.
For example I changed the "back" function to the recent button because I'm left handed, when I that button it kills the foreground app. The back button has the recents function and when it's held it takes a screen shot. Then I used a swiping gesture from the bottom of the screen to drop the notification drawer. It works great especially using finger print unlock because as soon as it unlocks I swipe my thumb up the screen and it shows my notifications.
Hey do you mind telling me how you got home2 shortcut to work. I disabled the camera double tap shortcut and assigned an application in step one however for the last step "close" closing the dialog, I am not presented with an option to choose a launcher like the app says. Thanks
Does anyone have any good recommendations for apps that can limit the number of notification sounds that your phone can create within a certain time-frame? There was a great Xposed module [less frequent notifications] that could do this on a rooted device and I find myself missing that feature a lot on my un-rootable S7 .
Also looking for an app that will let me customize what the home, back, and recent buttons can do.

Thanks for the suggestion. It has quite a few options, but it looks like it is missing the ability to customize a 'double tap' press on any of the buttons. I wasn't able to find a 'last app' action either. My ideal set-up would be:
Home
single press - home
double press - camera
long press - google Now on tap
Recents
single press - recents
double press - do nothing
long press - google search
Back
single press - back
double press - last app
long press - kill app
edit: realize I can do without the double press and could move the 'last app' action, if available, to the recent apps long press.

Hi fellow Mi5 users,
as most of you know, or at least ones who are (still) using MIUI, there is an option called "Tap Home button to go back to home screen", which if toggled turns your Home button into capacitive one, so you don't have to physically push the button in order to go to home screen, but only to tap fingerprint sensor.
The problem is, this applies ONLY to short press action and going to home screen. But what about long press action (or double press action, if it cared enought to exist as a feature in MIUI)? If I set "Launch Google Assistant", or "Turn off the screen" to long press action, I still need to physically push and hold the button, instead of just tapping and holding, which is just inconsistent and throws me off. Why would I want to push the button for long action if I'm tapping it for short one?
Lineage OS handles this well and as it always should've been in MIUI: by only choosing whether I want to use Home button as capacitive or not, but as a whole, not only for going to Home screen. This is both more sensible and semantically cleaner. God knows how many times I have entered the Settings menu just to copy this option's full sentence when I'm ranting about it. I mean what makes more sense: "Home button style: Physical / Capacitive" (or "Capacitive home button: On / Off"), which is both cleaner and makes more sense (both functional and semantical), or "Tap Home button to go back to home screen: On / Off", which is both unnecessarily long and also doesn't take into consideration all use cases (such as long press and double press).
My question is: Is there a way to modify this inside the ROM itself by making some modifications to it, or is there some file we can just simply change from 0 to 1, similar to enable_wakeup file and always awake fingerprint sensor? Or is there some flashable zip or Magisk module which solves this?
Thanks in advance
What are people's thoughts on double tap to wake or the ambient display option of single tap. You can't have both. Selecting one will disable the other.
What's the difference? I can't really tell.
I like the single tap.

Double tap goes to the lock screen (and immediately enabling Face Unlock for those who use it), and single tap enables the Ambient Display.
Double tap is like the power button, single tap is like picking up the phone.
Single tap cant light up the phone in a trusted place, you will still have to unlock it after you bring up the ambient. Not sure if that matters to most people but it's why I'm on double tap.
