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
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?

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.

Hey everyone! I've been looking on how to change my hardware keys. As in I would like to get rid of my navigation bar, which I know how to, and make my power button the home key. Or maybe something like one press goes home and then maybe a double tap would shut the screen off. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

The easiest way is probably to use a Custom rom which supports hardware key remapping like this one:

You also can use Zip Themer. like here:

Double tapping to play/pause music like in ipad is also OK.. Then it would be so amazing to have a "music life"

There are apps that use the proximity sensor to control music controls or even unlock the phone from one. Type on proximity or something and they should pop up, I know this is not what you are looking for but could be an option for now

There are some mods which let you reprogram your home button. You should check out Xposed framework. Also, you could go for a virtual bar which emulates home, menu and back button. There is a very nice app which is called something like "dynamic app bar" in the play store. Maybe you could use that app to create a special button for music controls.

There is a module called "hold home" but it didn't replace long press home button, instead it replace double press home button s voice to Google voice.. Btw, play store don't show dynamic app bar.. Is name exactly like that? Thanks..
