Globally
There are about 7 programmed gestures which are fully customizable.
Excellent.
I've done the following:
(Short) swipe up: recent apps
(Long) swipe up: Google search
Swipe up then down: retract notification menu
Swipe up then right: shortcut to contact
Swipe up then left: opens rss reader
Perfection.

Remap home button long press?

Anybody know if it is possible to remap long press of home button to voice search?

Maybe double press? Home2 Shortcut
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eikatou0.appspot.home2shortcut
I prefer double tap is just treated as two separate taps and leaves me in my home screen.
Long press the home button to launch voice search is ideal because I can initiate the press in my pocket as I pull out the phone.
This is one of the main reasons I've run cyanogenmod in the past. But if there is another way to get this functionality somehow through root access that would be ideal in the meantime.

You must turn off S-Voice. By default home double click is reserved for Samsung S-Voice.

Launch S-Voice then press menu/settings scroll down and uncheck S-Voice. Works for me.

[Q] Making a G2 more Nexus like..how?

I currently have a Galaxy Nexus which I like outside of the awful battery life, it's just old and just outclassed. I have finally settled on the G2 but there are a few things I need to know I can change before hand.
The on-screen buttons, the fact that LG chose to use a menu button is regressive and dumb. I want the standard AOSP "back,home,multitask;contextual3-dot" and to make sure the rest of the phone realizes that it needs to use the contextual 3 dot.
Proper Roboto font
Those are the biggies, everything else I know I can change or I can deal with. Has anyone figured these out?

I would love to switch to a contextual 3-bot menu system as well. Would make using PIE a lot easier. Is the contextual 3-dot a system wide option somewhere? I looked through the build.prop and didn't see anything standout, but I really don't know exactly what I am looking for either.
There are 6 different configurations to use for the on screen buttons, but there isn't a dedicated recent button. You can, however, longpress home for recents. The menu/three dot issue I don't believe there is a solution yet. There is also a font changer with 6 or 8 fonts to choose from, including Roboto.
Thank you Devs. From my LG G2.

Looks like you can edit the build.prop and add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the bottom to enable the system wide context aware 3 dot menu. Haven't got to verify yet. Anyone else try it?

I don't want to hold down the home button and wait... as for the font, apparently LG tweaked it slightly.
Also: Thanks Brian.. hopefully someone confirms this.

And before you try it, it isn't default.prop either (reverts back to the original version upon boot)
In the Verizon development section someone just posted a mod to do this. Only tested on Verizon right now.

Meaning the menu button shows up in apps like Gmail, and when they use the legacy menu, the button shows up on the nav bar.

Understand. I actually like this setup better than Nexus. That's what I love about android. Surely AOSP will be here sometime
ZIP is up in the Verizon Dev section. You can just activate the menu buttons while changing nothing else.

It covers the bottom part of the screen so it's pretty useless for replicating a standard navbar.

Then you're not using it correctly.
So there's no solution for AOSP on screen buttons that don't hide themselves and contextual overflow?

There is a fix for this but it is a Verizon MOD only, it might work on other carriers but you would have to read the thread to find out of it is working with all carriers.

He means that it would be even better if the menu burns know when to be visible and when they should be hiding.

[Q] Set custom activation method for omniswitch

How do I set a different activation method besides using the default drag handle. Cant seem to set a hardware key to do to as there is no option for it, only to open the app itself, not the switcher.

Install app (be sure, that app installed to /system/priv-app, it`s Important !!! Maybe reboot needed.)
Ok, OmniSwith drawer appears when you press key assigned as "Last App list" (sorry for my inaccurate translate)
Eg long press HOME button.
And next step, I turn OFF "DRAG HANDLE" in OmniSwith settings (to facilitate interface)
Enjoy ...

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, it still does not work. If I try to double click Home button I still get Recent Apps List. I also tried all the Nova Launcher options for shortcuts as well.
What I was hoping to do was use a Gesture Launcher , like Nova Launcher (or others like LMT) and be bale to use a gesture to open up Omniswitch drawer .....
Any luck on this ?
I made a alternative...

Looking in this link: https://github.com/omnirom/android_frameworks_base/commit/13d9f74a72136786a8ddcf3fd02bf07ab2a02073 we can see how ominirom system call ominiswitch overlay. Thinking that I did a app that call the overlay and you can use in a custom gesture of your launcher.
If can help improve this alternite, help me on github: https://github.com/augustoicaro/Toggle-OmniSwitch
Note: Its only work if you really use omniswitch app(org.omnirom.omniswitch)

Just download app in my last post and overlay recent app's button function, if you can do this in your rom(button will call the app).
If not, call app as launcher's gesture or other way that you kwon to call a app.
When you call the app, the omniswicth overlay will open(like swipe blue overlay on right border).
If you can't config this, please pm me.
Please, check if packge of ominiswitch that you use is org.omnirom.ominiswitch. If not, send me via pm the packge name and I compile other app for your packge.
Cheers.

Why double tap or any number of taps??
If you tap on your screens, you may have a chance of mistakenly opening an app!
This following solution is more practical:
"Swipe home button" in Play store. An easy and practical way to get to home screen, works well.

How's battery usage? Is it significant?
Also, I'm using the version you posted but it's not working when the screen is off. I'm sure I deactivated all app-killing process. I don't think it's this.
