home screen button? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

[Q] Nova Launcher Long Press Home

I've been unable to remap the Long Press Home with Nova Launcher. I wanted to set long press home to activate google voice search as opposed to the multitask menu.
Anyone else have this issue?
I'm running rooted stoch H9 rom.
Thanks in advance.
Where do you see long press home in Nova? I see you can map it by just hitting home but I dont see a long press home option

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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

Beanstalk ROM keyboard opens on home button press

Hello,
Ive installed beanstalk RC1.1 yesterday and also installed the kitkat 1.03. When I change the DPI of the phone all is well until I am in an app and press the home button (center button). When pressed, I am brought to the home screen but then the keyboard pops up. I must then press the home button again to get the keyboard to drop away.
I have not re-mapped any of the keys. Its really annoying.. Does anyone know how I can change this so that when I press the home button it will bring me to my home screen and NOT bring up the keyboard?
Thanks in advance.

[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!
