[Q] [HELP] Google Search won't launch with hardware key

OK so this is all my fault, and I haven't figured out how to fix it.
I used root uninstaller to remove Google Search from system (because I hate having apps in system) and then reinstalled it from the market. Problem is, now the hardware search button doesn't pull up google search. In fact, it doesn't pull up anything at all on the home screen. Inside of applications, it functions normally (for instance, inside the music app, hitting the search button allows search for music, etc). But from the homescreen it doesn't work.
I tried to download ButtonRemapper (off XDA forum), but it doesn't even list the standard android hardware buttons for reassignment (but it does list all the special keys).
Anybody have any ideas?

You could reflash the system.sin
I do not beleive it will delete any data, but should restore the system to default. Just back up your launcher homescreen and restore after flash.

Or push quicksearchbox.apk back to /system/app/

Fixed it. Had to use Root Uninstaller to install qucksearch to system.

[How-To] disable permanently MultiWindow in Android 4.1.1

Under 4.1.2 you can disable Multi Window (Mw) in settings.... in 4.1.1 not.
I just found the path where Mw file is stored.
Some of you have the Mw, want to get rid of it so, and who not have it, it will ...
Yes, something is often found in life.
The Android developers have good hidden the file in the system and renamed it.
So before you go to delete it, please make a backup of your system.
I accept no responsibility for any damages. You do everything on your own risk!
1.Your SGN2 must be rooted
2.Save previously with e.g. Titanium Backup all system applications
3.Search the file: com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService 1.0
4.Freeze them with e.g. Titanium Backup
5.Reboot your SGN2
Now by a long press the Back button MultiWindow should not apear.
Using a file explorer like Root Explorer, you can find it under the path:
/ system / app: FlashBarService.apk
My Mw is no longer working by that method (That was my goal)
Unfortunately, the back button does not close any app with the function of long press. Normal decline by briefly press still works.
Probably is someone of you able to activate the function of closing apps by long press the Back button
Sorry for my bad English, i have translate it by the help of google

do realy nobody know where the touchkey settings are hidden?
how to enable to close an app with long press the back button?

Or just

[Q] Are there any hardware mods?

I'm running Jellybeans Build 6. I would like a hold menu button for voice search (Google Now).

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Use a Root Explorer type app or Titanium Backup to rename/freeze s-voice then Google Now will open with the menu long press.

Menu swap for recent apps

Is it possible to change menu button to a recent app button on a i9505 value edition?
I'd like to stay stock, necessary to root?
Thanks

Root and xposed.
Otherwise custom rom.
PS: the value edition is an I9515.

xposed on touchwiz is not recommended by it's creators. you'd at least also want a custom recovery and a nandroid backup and an xposed uninstaller zip in preparedness...
I use an app called bar launcher so that I can have certain apps always within reach in the notifications drop-down. one of the apps I have there is called recent apps which unsurprisingly launches recent apps. I take you want to avoid wearing out your home button...

Can't rearrange icons in Apps view

Hello,
I just got a second hand G901F with Lollipop 5.0.2; did factory reset, rooted, and deleted some bloatware (GALAXY Apps Widget, Flipboard, Samsung account, Samsung Apps, TalkBack and so on).
Next step: Setting Google Now Launcher. But after installing it from the App Store I realised that it does not appear in Home>Settings (Just the TouchWiz Home and the TouchWiz easy home) ; so I can't no select it.
Then is when I noticed that I can not rearrange the icons in "Apps". I click in the top right button, then "Edit" and then if I try to drag any App it says "Unable to rearrange icons in alphabetical order".
No ABC or Alphabetical order option appears.
I had the previous version (G900F) and I didn't have any problem like this.
Thanks and sorry if as I guess it's just a stupid thing I did wrong.

Maybe you deleted something during the de-bloating that it needs?
Try resetting again, rearrage with 100% stock, then you'll know if there is a problem or not
Also, 6.0.1 Marshmallow is released for that model now too

OK... I factory format it again. Now I have all the bloatware back.
I can now use Google Now launcher, but still cant rearrange the icons.
Am I missing any configuration option or something like that?
Any help?
