What ROM are you using?
Many ROMs have the option of changing ring targets.

I have got that same issue, but I cannot find any solution.
I'm using an Oppo Find 5 with Android 4.2.2 PAC-Rom.

Are you trying to say that you accidentally changed the swipe up from home and you want to change it back, or that you are trying to change it to do something else?

Pick an alternate launcher.
Using Nova:
Nova Settings > Gestures and Buttons > Home Button > "choose action you want here".

if i press the home button nothing happens. is there any way to solve my problem (without losing any data?)
a coworker of mine had the same issue today. I'm just reposting the link from another website, since I typically come to xda to find answers to stuff like this... either manually type this into your ANDROID browser, or if you could somehow make it to this page from your phone, just click this link... from your phone lol
market://search?q=pnamerg.adw.launcher
it is the direct adwlauncher link to the android market!
hope this helps! =)

Then why not post in that thread?? No need to create a new thread if one already exists on your exact issue.

[Q] Double-tap Home to open Google Now voice input?

I just learned that double-tapping the Home button will open S-Voice. That's great, but I'd honestly prefer Google Now. My old droid incredible (Yeah, I made quite the leap with this upgrade) had a physical search button, and being able to hold that for Now voice input was one of my must-haves. Any way to replace that command to open Now instead? (unrooted. Waiting for recovery before I bother.)
Im using nova launcher and I set up my gestures so that when I double tap home screen it shows my recent apps. But you could set it to open google now as well.

try holding down the soft menu button to the left of the home button :good:
then all you have to say is 'Google' and your voice input begins!

Another way is to use an app called Home2Shortcut.
You can follow step 3 in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823194&highlight=home2shortcut (You don't need to be rooted for Step 3.)

Thanks, but I just tried it and it seems the stock double home setting overrides it - so it still goes to S Voice unfortunately.
You have to disable the option to launch S voice by double tapping home from within the S voice settings.

That did it. I don't know why I didn't think to check that. Thanks

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.

Change Default Long Press Home App

When using my Axon 7, I noticed that whenever I long press the capacitive home button, it opens up Google voice. I'm using Nova Launcher on root and even though there is an option to change it, it doesn't work. Does anyone know how to change this?

Have you rooted yours yet? And are you sure it's Google Voice? If anything it should be the Google app.

I am sorry for any confusion. Let me explain more clearly. I am currently rooted. Also, I did not mean Google Voice. I simply meant that long-pressing the the capacitive home button launches the Google app. I want to remove that and select something else. If it can't be done then that is all that I want to know. I'll live. It really isn't a big deal. I just hope that someone has an answer.

Apologies, I didn't see that you did say you were rooted. Not sure why it won't work with Nova. I thought perhaps it might have something to do with root. Although it shouldn't.

Go to Settings. Go to All Settings. Press the search icon. Type "assist". Choose "Assist & voice input" then choose "Assist & voice input" again. Then choose what you want there.

if I type assist in the search it finds nothing?!
If you have root and xposed works on it then you could try "xposed additions". Remapping home to flashlight has revolutionised how I pee at night
Has anyone figured out how to do this? I've tried every setting and app and rooted app under the sun. Absolutely nothing disables this "feature".

This method working just fine. Even with EU model. Thanks :good:
"Go to Settings. Go to All Settings. Press the search icon. Type "assist". Choose "Assist & voice input" then choose "Assist & voice input" again. Then choose what you want there."
Make sure you tap on the words "Assist & voice input" NOT on the gear icon. Then you should be able to change the setting to none. Then you can use Nova to make the changes you want.
