How did you fix this? I am having he same issue.
I do nothing, just read and try. It's not about menu in startup screen. It's about menu in apps.

Hey everyone I have a G2 running the Latest CM 7 build and for some reason out of no where my physical keyboard will open applications as if some of the keys were shortcuts to different applications. For instance when I press on the letter "e" it will open my email app and "b" for browser etc...I notice after a battery pull everything is back to normal and I am able to type as needed but after a few hours of the phone being on the problem comes back. Any ideas??
BTW this was happening even when I had CM 7 RC 1 as well.
this should just happen when you press search + BUTTON. map shortcuts in settings -> application -> quick launch.

Just press and hold the Recent Apps button. If you're there on a screen with 'Settings' option, it will work. I downloaded an app named 'iLightr' from Android Market... It worked on my previous phone (Xperia Mini) but as it had an Menu button, I could change the cases... Now if I want to go to settings in iLightr app, I press and hold the Recent Apps button.
As you are probably aware, double tapping the home button will launch S Voice on the Galaxy S3. Unfortunately, Samsung did not include a way to re-assign this button for a different function if you don't fancy the S Voice app. Instead, all they did was give you a way to disable the hone button double tap. Well here is a way for you to re-assign the home button double tap without the need for any rooting or modding at all.
Step 1) Go into the S Voice settings and uncheck the Launch SVoice box. This will keep S Voice from launching when you double tap the home button.
Step 2) Install Home2 Shortcut from the Play Store
Step 3) Open Home2 Shortcut and configure it to launch the app of your choosing with a double tap of the home button. The app is pretty self explanatory and setting it up will be pretty straight forward. NOTE: When you get to the end, after you tap "close" it will ask you to set as default. Select Home2Launcher as the default.
Hope this helps anyone who didn't know how to do this. I am currently running CM10, and am using this to launch Google Now with a double tap of the home button.
Nice find! Is there a tho when single pressing?
Can we configure it to launch the multitasking menu? I don't like holding down the home button.

Any idea how to assign double tap to Google voice search, like it was available on other phones on holding search key?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Seems to be Voice Search is not showing as application by default on GS3. You have to uninstall it using Titanium Backup and then install it from Market. This will put shortcut where it belongs and you would be able to assign it to double tap Home key.
If you have Apex Launcher, you can go to Apex Settings>"Behavior settings" and scroll down to gesture settings and you can configure one of the gestures to open up recent apps. I chose swipe down. It's not a fix for when you're in an app, but its better than pressing the home button twice or holding it down when you're on a homescreen. You can also configure the home button to open the Recent Apps dialog if you're already on your default homescreen.

There is a paid app called Multitask Shortcut which is an app that open the multitasking menu. So, if you combine that with this app like I have, then yes you can assign the double tap to multitask.

Button Savior is pretty cool. You can just swipe from left to right or vice versa and a string of soft keys appear (Home, recent apps, back, etc). Very nice app and I hardly press my home button anymore

could you be any more vague?
Ever since installing the Google Now mod OR removing some APKs as per the S3 apk guide, double tapping does not launch S-Voice...
Which is frustrating when trying to make a call from my car....Voice cmd for apps is enabled in settings, as well as the double tap setting within S-voice.

Is this the only way to get Voice Search working? I'm trying very hard to not root this thing, but I need a quick way to launch Voice Search.
Sad that threads like these will no longer be easily visible to users on multiple carriers due to the splitting of forums... Thanks OP!
This is awesome, thank you. The one feature I missed most from my custom GS2 ROM.

Hey guys,
Having a small issues on my note 2 pretty boring. I am running a rootbox Rom, and in fact everytime the screen dims, and i want to press home button to reactivate the phone, the phones goes to the multitaksing screens ( Kill apps). It doesnt go to the home screen.
It is pretty boring cause everytime I want to activate the phone, I end up to the Kill apps screen, like if i did a long press on home button but which i didnt !!. Do you know what could be the issue.?
I have tried changing the settings in nova, or apex, but doesnt change anything.
Any clues how i could solve this?
I think you have modified the Hardware Keys.
Have a look in Settings > Rootbox settings > Hardware keys (2 menus).
I've tried all Rootbox nightlies and never had this issue.

A quick one, cause i see that we use the same phone and same ROM. Can you have one lockscreen page with multiple widgets ? I mean in the same page not one widget in one page as it looks then pretty bad?
Thanks mate
To add some widgets/shortcuts on the lockscreen I used the AOKP Ribbons into the menu Settings > ROM Control > Ribbons. Useful feature
Hey hey just did it it is awesome! Was using cyanogenmod before, it was great, but honestly I love the root box one. Might be even better than alliance
Anyway merci beaucoup

RootBox ROM has 4 sources: CM10.1 + AOKP + PA + RootBox
This ROM is stable, smooth and with a lot of features. I don't understand why there is not a lot of people on its thread...

Last time I bother you promise in case you know, but just in case. Do you know how to take out the fit ti screen button on the bottom status bar (the four arrow). It s pretty useless to me and spend an hour searching for the setting but no luck

Sorry but I don't see what do you mean... Do you have any screenshot to show me?
At the bottom, the small 4 arrows icon ( just on the left side of the time), which is hadling the zoom, or adapt the screen. Just annoying to be there. Do know how to take it out

No sure but you should need to disable PIE controls. You can use LMT Launcher
Thanks a bunch! Will try that! Not sure it will take out only the zoom icon, but will give it a try!

I am having the same issue with the home button where it goes to the recent applications list when pressed from sleep. I don't have a lock screen set up.
I tried the Settings->Rootbox Settings->Hardware keys->set home button to do nothing but then it won't bring up the Recents list when I long press it from a regular screen.
SO... it appears that when the Home Key is pressed during Sleep (and you don't have a lock screen set up) it is registering it as a long press. If I DO have a lock screen (ie. slide or PIN) it works normally... but that's probably because a long-press does nothing from those screens anyway.

Yes exactly the same issue. But at least, by putting the home button == No action. We dont end up all the time to Recents Apps, which was really annoying.
Finally i end it up putting in the navigation bar a shortcut for recents apps, so at the end i have still easy access to it.
PS: I notice also another bug, when on tabet mode, and the icon for battery is Speed Gauge, the battery always shows 0 and empty. (whereas in reality its not)
Anyway to get the menu overflow button into all apps and disable menu key or make it multitask key? Xposed modules or Roms? I loathe the menu key. All of my other devices have software buttons so I'm always thrown off when going to my note. Thanks

xposed module: 3-dot menu mod do the job(add soft menu key). Install it, activate in xposed and restart.
PS. And Samsung did it again wrong, because the menus are ugly in all their apps (light grey icons on a white background).

Good stuff. This restored the 3 dot menu in Chrome after Google yanked it out in the last update.

Now to find a way to turn the menu button into a task switcher button and set long press home to google now
Youre right ... Listen to me get xposed modules install gravity box jellybean version... and use their pie controls.... make them appear on left side.... so use ur left thumb to acces home button and recent task on pie.... and your right thumb for the return button ... i know the feels... since that threw me off too ... this way you can comfortably navigate without sacrificing screen estate... .. trust me it rocks... contact me if you have more questions .. youre welcome

Long press home to Google Now can be done with Xposed. Both my phone and tablet work like that. I use Switchr for task switching with the activator in the bottom left and Button Savior Pro on the bottom right.
mine does that automatically. it also tried opening dolphin for some reason LoL
