Home Button - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

My Home button ALWAYS takes me to Google Now REGARDLESS of where I am within the phone... and if you hit the home button again it just re-launces Google Now... any ideas?
Disregard... do not disable S voice

[Q] Voice Search from genius button (CM7)

I'm not able to set the action for long press of the genius button to voice search.
I'm using CM7 nightly 25. Voice search is installed and works when run through the launcher, but when I long press the genius button I get 3 options for which app to handle the action: Dialer One, Hancent Quick Compose and Messaging - Voice search is not listed.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
I'd say go with this,

you don't have to use the Genius Button if you don't want to. Then just use Button Shortcut to set the Genius Button long press to Voice Search.
Or... Just get Button Shortcut.
It's funny cause when I long press I get the option for Voice Search... It just doesn't work, however.
I'll check out button shortcut. Thanks!

Home button behavior w/ jb & no lock screen

I don't use any lock screen and I always use the home button to wake my phone up.
Since official JB, the home button not only wakes the phone up but it closes the app I'm in. Example : I'm browsing something on chrome, the screen turns off bc of timeout, I wake the phone using the home button and I see chrome back but immediatly it closes down like if I had pressed the home button again (but I didn't). The same behavior does not happen when a lock screen is enabled.
I tried searching for an answer and tried the solution of editing the .kl files in system/usr/keylayout by adding WAKE_DROPPED or replacing WAKE with WAKE_DROPPED for every occurence of the home key (key 172) without luck. I tried fixing the permissions in CWM and I made sure the permissions are rw-r-r.
Running stock rooted with CWM.
Any other ideas? Thx!
I'm also curious about this. My temporary fix was to unfreeze S Voice in Titanium and then enable the double press of the home button to start S Voice.
I'd rather keep S Voice frozen and still keep the same behaviour of the home button in ICS.

Yes that does work indeed. However, it brings back the lag when pressing the home button. I'm also using home2 shortcut for some shortcuts and it completely breaks them!
The same problem arises also when you long press the home button to get to recent apps, if you have an app open in the background at that moment and you press the home button to get out of the recent app screen, it closes the app!

Home button lag with disabled lockscreen

So heres my problem in a nutshell:
When I press the home button, my phone unlocks (I have no lockscreen), however it takes me to the home screen. Whereas if I hit the power button, the screen turns on where I left off. This is the expected behavior.
If I go into S-Voice, and select "Open via the home key", the home key unlocks the phone correctly, but I have to deal with the home button lag issue.
So, how do I get the best of both worlds? No lockscreen, no home button lag, and no issue with using the home button to wake the phone.
I could do without S-Voice all together so if thats an option Im OK with it.

I wasn't happy with the speed of the home button, I took off the double tap for svoice and I'm much happier not sure if that helps you

[Q] Dragging up from home button/long pressing home button won't lead to Google Now.

As the title says, when I drag from the home button to the search icon or long press the home button, nothing happens. Google Now doesn't open. What am I doing wrong? I disabled/deleted a few of the bloatware apps that came with the phone (non rooted). Any ideas?

Disabling Long Press action on Home Screen

Hi, how do I disable the long press action on the home screen? I accidently long-press it all the time, so I often return to my phone and find it in settings instead of my home screen.
Don't think you can do that!
