[Q] Launch Google Now with double press on home button - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there to replace S Voice with google now when I double press the home button? I searched the forums and found that if I use Nova launcher..is there a another way? Thanks.

Why double press when you can just hold the home button and it will launch Google Now. Just like if you hold the task switcher you will get a menu button.

Changing Home Button to Start Menu

Hi, Anyway to switch the existing HOME button on the HD to START button instead?
Thanks
is it AE Button Plus? I think that what I used, couldn't change the home button so I used the back button instead. You can set it up to handle more than one press too.
Not by using AE button program but by mod the registry. Is it possible?
No, you can't change the Home button.
Bump on this topic. Anyone know how to do this via registry? The home button and the end call button do the same thing on the HD and it's a waste IMO to not have a use for one of them.
Home button >>>> Start button would be awesome.

Hard buttons & trackball functionality-Looking for Long PRESS

Hunting around for solution but surprisingly all seems to be happy with button layouts. Currently my buttons are:
1) Long press SEARCH - dialer One
2) Long press HOME - visual task swither
3) Long press MENU - brings keyboard (default)
4) Long press BACK - ???
Can we assign something on long press BACK? Sleep????
Is there solution for long press MENU to assign something other than coming out with keyboard? I'm thinking about Peoples/contacts.
As for trackball, currently I'm using to wake up with a press. I don't know why but I'm really struggling almost everytime to reach and press power button on top. One more I would much prefer and very happy is to ANSWER calls with a press of trackball while at lockscreen. Perfect!
Many thanks if can point to some directions.
I'm pretty sure similar to the Home Long Press, Back and Menu Long Press are impossible to change system-wide without hacking Android itself (like Home Long Press had to be).

Download an app that can use Search Long Press and the next time you press it, Android will ask which app you want to use.

The lack of a home button

Quick question. On my Galaxy S, you can bring up a task menu of previously used apps by holding down the home button. Is there any way of doing this on the Vega without the home button?
Button Savior
Quick answer. Use button savior its a great app (available on the market) Adds the missing buttons as on-screen buttons. Long press that Home on-screen button and the recent apps pop up.
Thanks. Works great

Try Button Savior. Root required.
Open it and press 'Kill/Start Button Savior Service'. Then press on the arrow on the right.

Hi jhonny,
I've installed Button Saviour (BS) on my ICS CM9 beta3.
When I hold HOME 'button' of BS it correctly display list of running (or recently opened?) applications but when I HOLD the POWER 'button' it does NOT display menus as it should (if I press it it will turn off the display)
Do you have any idea why?
Thanks

TBH, it is kind of flaky. What I ended up doing was using an app to link a long press of the HOME key to SCREENSHOT.
Works much better that way
Swipe up from the home button and use quick memo on the right. It takes a screenshot and then you just press save.

I use the exposed module "Advanced power menu" so when I hold down power, I can reboot, reboot in recovery, power off, or take screenshot....

Now this I likes!!
Nice! Didn't know about the swipe up from home and forgot about the Advanced Power Menu. I was using that at one point and in the process of putting on new roms all the time I forgot to re-engage it.
Thanks for the protips!
Anyone know how to remap the "Home Swipe Left"?
I would like to see voice search there.
