Holding search button causes FC

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.

Google Now on double press?

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!

Question about home button

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.

Same here. Stock Unrooted after 4.1.2 OTA. No access to Google Now Menu. Flashes briefly then disappears. Tried to clear cache but won't clear. Tried to uninstall updates in application manger but hangs on uninstalling screen.

Click on the bar at the top to bring up your keyboard and now the menu will stay open.

Menu won't stay open whether keyboard present or not. Using Swiftkey.
Finally got the Google Search update to uninstall and the menu opens normally when not updated. Hmmm.

I have the same issue. Re-updated and menu flashes and disappears.

Add me to this list also. It's a bug in the new search update. It really sucks. Thankfully I don't need to use the menu/setting that much.
If I do I can get into it via settings.

Do a dummy search first, then try it....

Yep, this worked for me too. Now if I can just figure out why my battery life took a hit with the new update. Life will be good again.

I was able to get into that menu. But I still can't get into the menu if nothing is typed in the search bar.

Quick update. Still happening.
Workaround (based on previous posts and trials)
Open Google Now.
Type a space (or any placeholder text in the search bar.
Close the keyboard and retry the menu key. The menu should now pop up and float there.
The search bar seems to have to have something in it for menu to not instantly close again. I've put as little as just that space and it works.
Wonder how Google missed that?

I would hypothesize that this is a Samsung Twiz ROM issue, rather than a Google oops...Trying it on my PACMan 20.1 install I fail to get the bug.
Anyone in this thread so far not using a Sammy TWiz ROM?

Uninstall and re-install Google Search. Clear Google Talk data in App management. Reboot.
It'll work after that.

is there another app thats like home2?

If you switch over to nova launcher, you can set up all sorts of button combos and stuff like that
I think the "problem" you had with the home key not take you to your first page was just because of how the MIUI launcher works
