Is there a way to hit a home button while in the browser. Like if I'm on eBay and I want to go back to my home page.
Why dont you just open a second tab?

.. not sure I understand the question. "Like if your on Ebay and want to go home" does touching the screen not bring up the nav bar with the home key? Why not just tap the home button??

I don't get a home button when I pull down the URL bar. I'm running paradigm jelly bean.

I meant just in general. When I'm browsing the web my nav bar stays at the bottom. I always have the option to "go back", "home", or "recent apps" ... never disappeared for me

He wants his homepage, not the home screen.
And to get there easily, just open a new tab. There is no button or menu item for it.

The stock ICS browser can't be THAT poorly designed can it?
Can anyone please help me find the button to show bookmarks?
Where is it hidden? C'mon Google, bookmarks should be a 1 touch access feature. Why did you bury it?
Hold the back button.

a ha! there it is! thanks!
I wish they would put it on the side thumb shortcut thing.
It is next to the tab button? Not sure because i enabled lab quick control.
If you enabled lab quick control, you cant access bookmark easily. One way to do it is by long press back button then swipe.
Bookmark button has been added to the lab quick control on 4.0.3.
Also if you press the tab button at the top the bookmark button is visible at the top of the tab selection screen.

Apologies if this has already been posted but trying to search on the Tapatalk app is next to useless!
Is there a way to get the double press of the home button to launch Google Now rather than S Voice?
I'm rooted and on Android Revolution 4.
Thanks.

You can change a number of behaviors with Apex launcher to launch Google Now-home key action, pinch in, swipe up, swipe down, and desktop double tap. Other launchers allow you to make similar changes. I would think with all those options you could find a more convenient behavior for launching Google Now. You can also have the Google Now search bar on all the screens all the time or on any screen all the time with almost all launchers. Remapping the home button to open Google Now with a double press instead of S Voice shouldn't be too difficult of a mod since you can turn off the action in S Voice settings. With all the other options I would think you could find a solution without a mod. You can also have the Google Now cards show up in notifications.
Home2 Shortcut can do it with or without root.

This works. I successfully mapped double home button press to launch camera. Thanks!

Hello everyone I have a friend coming from an iPhone to the S3. He would like to double tap the home button to bring up recent apps, and hold it down to launch S-Voice or Google Now. I'd like to know if this is possible, would love if someone can tell me if something like this exists

You could download home2shortcut and map double tapping home to an app.
Not sure about recents

You can do this with Apex Launcher and app 2 home together I believe
I previously had a GNEX. Loved the swipe up from home shortcut for Google Now. On my Note 2 the only way I see to launch Google Now is by holding the menu button. This is ok, but it brings up the keyboard and recent search entries causing clutter (and yiu have to press the back button to make the keyboard go away). And the prior search results stay on the screen.
Is there a faster/better way to quickly access Google Now?

I use Nova launcher and can swipe up for GOOGLE
Gesendet von meinem GT-N7100 mit Tapatalk 2
Use Swipepad: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1vYmkuY29uZHVjdGlvbi5zd2lwZXBhZC5hbmRyb2lkIl0.
(which is a must have app for any android device)
Then put google now in one of the slots. All you have to do then is swipe up from your chosen hotspot to it and you're set. :good:
You can do it by a long press on the menu touch button, or dragging the google shortcut from the lockscreen.

In my OP, I mention the menu way. It's annoying because it brings up the keyboard and recent searches. You have to hit back to get rid of the KB and the recent searches stay there. It's not ideal.
I downloaded swypepad, but in order to use more zones, you have to pay. Lame.
Oh well.
Touch the word 'Google' on the left-hand side of the perma-widget.

So your's doesn't do this when either holding the menu button or touching "google" on the search bar (widget)?
What?
If you use Nova, you can bind Search Text to "long press menu". That brings me the Google+ screen...

You're right, it does pull up the keyboard, but if u start scrolling through the cards it all disappears.

Long press on my home button brings up my recent apps and three icons at the bottom.
Pie chart, Google and dustbin.
Press Google for Google now. No keyboard or recent searches appear.
However, if i touch the word Google on the search widget then Google now comes straight up but with the keyboard

On my desktop, using lightning launcher. No clue about TW, can one do that?
Does anybody know if its possible to program the home so a double tap brings up messaging and a long press brings up Google now? If so how could I do that?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
If you are running stock TW then the short answer would be no. If you are using a custom launcher like Apex or Nova there are settings in the launcher behavior section where you can tweak to perform actions.
yeah, it's impossible on touchwiz,
I don't know about the customizability of the button on launchers, since i don't use them

If you hold down the menu button it'll bring up Google now. Unless you're in an app then it'll pop up the search engine. You're on your own on the messaging one tho lol. Double taping home takes you to S. Voice.
