Since I cannot get the voice dialer to work with bluetooth on my fb21 based rom I am left with using vlingo. I noticed something and I was wondering if it was the same for others. If I double tap the home button quickly, it launches vlingo. Is there anyway to disable that?

I was on a quest to replace the crappy vlingo voice dialer with the stock google one and noticed that when I long pressed the search capacitive button it will FC any application in the foreground. Is this an issue with all phones or just with the mods that I've done to my phone? As and aside, is there any way to replace the vlingo app when using a bluetooth for voice dialing with the stock google voice dialing app?

Well if you have the lockscreen mod that's probably the culprit for the FC. There's a setting in the lockscreen settings that allows you to assign the function of long press search button

Mine switches auto-rotate.

OMG, I didn't even notice that function. Thanks! lol.
When you first long press the search button, it asks you whether to use google out vlingo. I picked google as my default, and forgot about vlingo till today.

The problem I was having was with the lock screen mod because it was remapping the longpress to an app that didn't exist.
I recently updated to 2.3.6 and everything is great except Voice Talk. I know many of you know what I'm talking about. Double tapping home to bring up Voice Talk no longer works. Also, "Auto-start listening" does not work no matter if it is checked or unchecked in settings. There is not an option in the settings to toggle double tap on/off, I know the long press on search works but I use that feature for Sound Hound. Any suggestions?
If you found a double tap home on/off toggle in settings somewhere and you have 2.3.6 installed, please reply with a screen shot and tell me where you found it because I have looked everywhere and I don't see it.
Long hold the search capacitive button
I have installed Gooogle Now on my stock rooted Touchwiz ROM from the famous Google Now thread.
My only issue is something is hardcoded in the ROM to not allow me to change what app double tapping home starts. There are no apps on the market that say they can do this that work either. I have tried them all.
My issue now is that if I double tap Google Now's "Voice dialer" only shows up which is an activity within the Now application. I have turned s-voice off as I think Now is better. So basically double tapping (which is also the same thing as holding down a bluetooth device's button for voice search to come up) I can only tell it to call people using the Google Now app. Other people on AOSP ROMs can get the full Now Voice Search to show up when double tapping but something in Touchwiz always defaults it just to the "voice dialer" instead. If I uninstall Now I get an option on double tap to choose s-voice or the normal ICS voice search so I know it can be changed but that same window does not come up asking which default task to use when double tapping with Now installed. I have cleared all defaults also, and that window still doesn't pop up.
So something in the Touchwiz ROM prevents me changing what double tap does, or it is something in Now, but I find that unlikely since other people with other devices (even the SII running touchwiz) can change the function.
Any help would be appreciated.
Our phone has a feature called Quicklinks, whereby if you pressed the search button plus a hardware keyboard key, you could quickly launch applications (i.e. search+e = email app).
Now, a bug in the software meant that the phone would sometimes think the search button was constantly pressed, so you would open the keyboard to answer to an SMS for example, and find yourself launching an app instead. The only workaround was to use the on-screen keyboard.
Before, in GB, this functionality could be disabled by going to Settings->Applications and disabling QuickLinks. This made the problem go away.
------
Enter ICS. The feature, with the same bug is still there, but I cannot find the QuickLinks entry in Settings->Applications. I've looked everywhere and I cannot find it.
Does anybody know where it is or how to disable it on the unusable official build of ICS?
Is anyone else having the issue of their on screen nav buttons cutting off part of the google maps screen? When I'm navigating I can't see the ETA section or hit the 'X' to close navigation. Really annoying. I'm wondering if it's a maps app issue or possibly the ROM I'm using somehow. I'm on the latest ICE custom ROM. Also, it might be related, but when the pop up asking which app i want to use for various options pops up (ie when I click a number to call it asks if I want to use phone or skype) I can't click on the 'Just Once' or 'Always' option because it makes me hit the nav keys (even though I am hitting the 'Always' selection). Thanks for any help.
