Hi folks, with this app you can select any application to be launched on home double tap button / bluetooth longpress.
Requires a Samsung-based rom
no Cyanogen/AOSP/AOKP, sorry. UPDATE: for non-sammy ROMS you can use Home2 Shortcut (thanks to InfiniteRecall).
Only one rule: my app use the same package name of Samsung Voice Control (I've chosen the easy way to do this hack ), so you have to delete /system/app/VoiceToGo.apk (if your rom include it) and reboot before installing the attached .apk.
In last leaked Ice Cream Sandwich roms I've found VoiceToGo is in different location:
XXLP2 > /system/app/vlingo.apk
XXLPB > /data/app/com.vlingo.client.samsung-1.apk
</useful information>
I've written this app simply because I don't like Samsung Voice control, I was using Vlingo on my Nexus One and I think it was much more efficent and less Samsung-centric. Afterwards I decided to share it with you, so I added an activity to choose any installed application.
Hope you'll like it as I do, suggestions&donations are welcome.
CHANGELOG
1.0 (12/10/11)
- first release
1.1 (13/10/11)
- changed app launch mode (google talk fc)
- changed save preference mode to work without sqlite sync (toast confirmation didn't appear, app didn't close itself automatically, and settings was lost on restart, if you had this problem uninstall and reinstall)
1.2 (15/07/13)
- Jelly Bean version (thanks e495957 for testing) - UNINSTALL PREVIOUS VERSION BEFORE
Removed the apk and installed ur app, but when i click on an app i want to use, nothing happens. running on 2.3.4 KH3
Ah it did work, just needed a reboot. and it kind of needs a confirmation of the app you've chosen.
One way or another, nice app ^^
a toast notification is shown when you select the app, at least on my phone
do you had VoiceToGo.apk?
maybe a reboot is needed anyway, waiting for other experiences
Thank you very much c3k, i'll test it now. It was on my todo list
edit: works perfect. thanks man
This is a great idea, i cant download it at present but will try this tonight
Thanks
Hey c3k,
GREAT application! Comes closest to a solution for the lack of a dedicated search hardware button, like the O2x has. Great, great, great! Thanks a bunch.
And, errrr, by the way, selecting the application to launch in the list on my SGS2 also throws a toast notification. Very intuitive and spartan interface, doesn't exactly need a manual. Props!

Thanks, works perfectly , I don't need voice control often, but it would be cool if we could use it anyway (but not on double tap), is there a way you could do this?

Hello will this launch a app on the homescreen by double tap?
That would be cool then we have no more unwanted apps starting by accident.

You can install Vlingo (is the reason because this app exists!)
I'm not sure, but I think it has all the Samsung Voice Command features (beacause Vlingo team made it), but it works better (at least with my voice) and it's more flexible.
No way to install Samsung Voice Command and homeMYhome on the same device...

No we are talking about home BUTTON double tap
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.crazyricky.advhomebutton
this one is long time in the market and has a better interface...
wooops, world is always smaller than one can think
my app is still slightly different: I don't replace the home application (so it can continue to work as android engineers designed), I take advantage of the service that samsung puts on his firmware just to launch the voice app (the same service that the app you report seems to irremediably kill)
...and it works from the lookscreen too!

So that app kills the process and creates its own? And your app keeps this ssamsung process and makes a different use of it, right?
Edit: You convinced me. Ok, so I'm choosing your app
Erm file is not supported on my phone..?
How do I undo this??? I downloaded it and decided I didn't want to use it, cleared data and uninstalled, no my double tap does nothing.... I want my "recent apps" back.

there's an app for that... go to the play store and search for an app called perfect keyboard. don't remember if it costs anything but not only can you choose the 123 board as an option, you can also theme the keyboard and resize it to match your current theme. try it out!
Hey auto thanks for the reply but the screenshot that I posted foes the same thing. But I actually was trying to stay away from using a third party keyboard. Wanted yo mow if a dev could implement the number pad within the stock ics keyboard. But thanks for the suggestion though. I will try our perfect if all else fails. I used to use better keyboard with the old android but ics keyboard rocks!

I knew about that... As he said, I don't want third party apps. I am looking for something REALLY simple. A numeric keypad, just like the stock one when you open something that request it (when you're setting the time on Alarm app). Maybe a tweak to make it user openable?

Hi,
I got a question about enabling on screen buttons in OpenSEMC 0.5 running android 4.2.2, what is btw one of the best ROMS I've ever seen.
On AOKP 4.1.2 the option was integrated but the dev of this Rom haven't included it yet, so I need another way to get my loved on screen buttons.

Easiest way..
Use root explorer..
Got to system/build.prop
Enter qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 at the bottom..
Save it and change the permissions to rw-r-r..
Reboot and enjoy..

I gonna try it.
App-Choose
OK,
I tried it and works fine.
But am I wrong or are the buttons bigger than on a Nexus 4 or Galaxy Nexus?
I think they are a little big too big
Another thing maybe somebody could help me with.
I have Google Now and Alicoid (like Siri but on Android) and with the latest version of Alicoid, you're able to put the App into I call it "long-home-button-press-menu" (idk how to call it. I'm German )
But in my case (idk if anybody else noticed that yet because Alicoid is not such a famous app) there is only a Search button (like in 1st Screenshot)
And after I selected that search-button the normal app-chose menu pops up (2nd screenshot) and let me choice between Gnow and Alicoid.
Maybe sb can say me if there is any possibility to get rid of this app-choser and to have both apps in the "long-home-button-press-menu".
I know my discription is a little cofusing put i hope somebody knows what i mean
Thanks!
EDIT: Screenshots added!

Didn't understand much but if you want an application to run from those buttons than go to settings - system - nav bar and change the settings..
Or choose Alicoid and click always..

Sorry, wrong post :S
Hello everyone,
I would like to know how is it possible to add a software key down of the screen of my phone? Not personalize, but add a soft key for turn the screen off like on the capture attached.
I know that the ROM used on this screen capture is Flash Liquid Smooth, but I want to keep my Sense UI!
Thanks in advance
Nobody knows?
I think it can be done with xposed modules, I recall a video on youtube that discussed it. Might want to search on youtube for it.
I'm at work now so I can't do the searching on youtube(Damn filters) . If I recall correctly, I think it might have been Armando Ferreira that discussed it, though I'm not 100% sure.
Yes, I've already seen this, it's that kind of module that I need, but this one (Xposed GEL) doesn't match at my needs because it's for the stock launcher and it replaces the back button while I would like to add a button!

That's a good module although there is a constant consumption of RAM.
I'll try this and if someone has another solution, say it please!
I'm pretty sure there's an app on the playstore called softkeyz that'll do what you're looking for.

Yes, it's a great app, but it's only to replace the icon of the soft key and not to add one.
Take a look at this app please: [APP][4.0+]Ultimate Dynamic Navbar
Should do the trick for you.
Or if you don't use Google now, check this trick, which i also use to make my sceen off.

Hi guys!
So i created a application called SmartCut.
Paid:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=erayz.com.smartcut
Free:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=erayz.com.smartcut.free
What it does is ones you activate it, it will place a trigger on your screen and with it you can easy access any placed apps from one of the five (paid, three if free version) positions.
Easy and clean design and alot of customisation for the trigger.
I would love if you had a look
This app looks amazing! And ideal for the s6 edge. Does it replace the favourites that's on the edge as standard?

its working for me,nice app i think it just has to be a little more smoother like the edge people widget
whats the diff between the free and pro
nice work.. it works for me.. I don't like the vibration when you slide it out but other than that its good..
I'm still waiting for a Dev to give us edge on launcher like the note edge.. sucks that we can only slide it out or use it when the screen is off. would love to remove status bar and have it on the edge but that's wishful thinking lol

Great idea I was looking for an app that utilizes the s6 edge. I was wondering if you would be implimenting a blur effect once it's open similar to the people's edge on the s6, support for icon packs, and also support folders as well.
Thanks again.
