Long Pressing Home brings up the recently used apps list. Single pressing the button to the right does the same thing, so the long press seems wasteful. I would like to change Home's Long Press action to bring up the application drawer. Is this possible?

Long pressing home on my phone doesn't do that, are you on stock ROM?
I am on a custom rom. I guess this has to be baked into the rom then?

Would think so, don't know if its kernel or ROM dependant.

Any method? Power button also great... Just tired to use soft button.
Most custom roms have this option if you go into camera, then go to settings, then Camera Settings (more), then Power Shutter toggled on On. I have attached my Camera.apk that has this option, but you have to push it to /system/app

Thx dude yeah I can use it
But I found that it is inconvenience to use power button since it will make the phone sleep or even off
So the question is here how can I use volume buttons to capture photos with stock rom?
What do you mean using the power button will make the phone sleep? The camera app disables the power button as a 'lock button' when in 'power shutter' mode. When you press the camera button, it just takes a picture and doesn't do anything else. If you want to lock the phone, just press home then power. It's just one more button press.

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to lock an app in memory even if I push the back button?
I am locking 2-3 most frequently used apps from the "Recents" menu but that gets washed away when I press the "Back" button after being done with the respective app.
I know the best option would be to start pushing the "Home" button but over the years I developed a habit of pushing the "Back" button several times to go to home or once to close the app and it's very hard to change behavior now.
I'm on NitrogenOS (8.1) if it matters - stock kernel.
Cheers.

Unless the back button is programmed to kill an app, the app should stay in memory. So check the options for the back button and change it.
It is set to close app. Long press for kill. But still does not work.
If I assign to something else, then basic acknowledge functionality does not work...

Check the long press duration and if possible lengthen it. Or assign double tap for kill and none for long press as an experiment and check.
