Holding search button causes FC - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Every time I hold the search button, it causes a force close. I suspect this is because I restored vlingo with TB upon setting up the phone (I didn't realize vlingo came on the phone). However, uninstalling vlingo has no effect. Also, I checked Vlingo, Voice Search, Voice command, etc., and I don't see any of them mapped to the search button (I can't click clear defaults on any of them). Is there a way to tell what is mapped to the search button, and change it?
Thanks

Might have something to do with the lockscreen/AIO mod that's been included with recent roms. Mine does the same thing, it's just buggy.

Good thought. I did run the AIO mod. I am running the stock kernel currently, but it's rooted.

Are you on Starburst rom? If so you need to go into lockscreen settings and map an application to the long hold search. This should eliminate the FC.

I'm on the stock rom, but your suggestion worked! I didn't realize that's where the mapping was. Thank you so much!

No worries, glad it worked.

Home button mapping

Is anyone else going crazy with the home button opening voice command constantly when it wasn't your intent? Is there a way to change this mapping in stock? The phone is also rooted if it matters.
Thanks in advance.
I love that function.
Almost all dev roms now have removed that feature. Check the development section.

Launcher default issues

This started happening to me out of no where. Can anyone think of a solution or the cause of this issue ?
Everytime I hit the home key it will ask me to choose a default launcher. After I do, it will ask me again every time I hit my home key.
Im choosing Touchwiz, the other option is Go home since it comes with my rom.
I'm running Calkulins 2.9.2 rom.
I have uninstalled apps related to Widgets and launchers, cleared defaults etc..
How could I uninstall the go home app completely? Maybe that will do it.
Thanks in advance everyone !

First, you are checking the default checkbox before you select the launcher after pressing home right?
Yes. lol
I could only wish it was that simple.
Its not really a big deal but after a while its annoying having to push an additional button.

Well, just use root explorer or something to delete the application, or just use like titanium backup and un install it that way

Space button = silent?

As I look at my keyboard, I see that my hard keyboard has a silent icon on the spacebar in the top corner. Does this mean that it is a silent icon? If so, how do I use it?
Same here, I'm super curious I've tried everything I could think of, Maybe if I figure it out ill tell you but I know someone is gonna beat me to it:/

Unlock your phone, slide out the keyboard out and hold the space bar. It would put your phone in silent/vibrate and press/hold the space bar again to return back to the volume level. This somehow doesn't work if the phone is locked or in the music player.

I tried that, and all it did was open a search page that started filling with spaces...I am using LPP as a launcher if it matters.

Just tried switching my launcher back to TouchFLO, and it worked. Must be built into the stock launcher.

S Voice No Longer Opens When Double Tap Home Button

Now that I have installed Google Now, I notice when I double tap the home button S Voice doesn't open up anymore. I checked the setting and the button is ticked to set S Voice to open on double tap of the home key. Any suggestions? I don't know if my installing Google Now had anything to do with it, but I noticed it stopped working round about the time I installed now.Please help.

You can program that if you use Nova Launcher or depending on your rom, you can program it from settings.

How to remove "kill app" feature

I would like to remove the long press menu "kill app" feature in the custom rom I'm running. It removes the search phone function that I prefer over the kill app feature. A lot of roms doing it now. Any help would b appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

MOAR gives you the option to set double tap home to launch google now.

Or you could just install Nova Launcher and swipe up, swipe down, etc to launch Google Now.
I just wanna remove it from the ROM. Thanks for the help and suggestions.

I'd love to get rid of it too.. Frequently part of my finger will press it unintentionally.. Quite irritating when I'm playing Modern Combat 4.

Hmm...When I'm on my home screen and hold the menu button it still launches google search/now, I'm using the stock launcher. Maybe I'm misunderstanding? Anyhow I don't know how to make it work normal, but maybe asking your rom dev very nicely will bring about a fix for you.:good: Honestly I love the kill app feature.

Way off topic so please excuse me, just like to ask what's your player name? Curious if I've played against you on mc4, I got a bit crazy and ordered the new moga controller the other night, hope it's as good as I've heard.
I already tried asking the Dev but nothing. I'm getting used to it already so it's not bothering me as much
