I've figured out how to disable My Magazine from long pressing Home, but I can't figure out how to get Google Now to launch when long pressing Menu. I've disabled S-Finder, so now all long pressing Menu does is vibrate, no action. Wanam has a way to change long press on Home and Back, but not Menu. Has anyone figured this out without using a custom launcher, or ROM?
Both apex and nova launcher will do it.

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
I just started using utter! as my voice assistant. I was wondering is their any way to remap the double press of the home button to activate utter! Instead of s voice? Or possibly even remap the Google now button in the recents menu to utter!
Try home to shortcut https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eikatou0.appspot.home2shortcut. Might work

I'd be happy if there was a mod to just unlock on double tap home
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!
I just found out about Buzz Launcher. Its great. I want to use it as a lockscreen or sth. I have turned of lockscreen from android settngs. I want when I press the lock key of gnex the phone to sleep and after pressing the key for a second time to go to home.

i am very confused.......so you said you like the buzz launcher......and you want to use it as lockscreen? I assume you really reall love the buzz launcher lock screen and want to rip it out so you can use it with other roms? Is that it?
No. I want to push the lock key. And after pressing it for a second time I want to see the home screen. I think that there was such an option in the spare parts app.

so what you mean is you wanna skip the entire lock screen? just press power key and go straight to wherever you were left off, and press home key to return to default home screen?

I am looking to do the same....
what he and I want to do is for example we are in an app like chrome and we press the power button to turn off the screen then the next time we press the power button to turn the screen on it will then be back on the home screen and NOT on the last app we were in.
SO the goal would be NOT to use a lock screen at all, however when we press the power button then we will see whatever widgets/info displayed on the "home screen"
Not sure if I am explaining it proper but either way I want to know as well if this is possible.
Using Galaxy Nexus - Linaro AOKP rom if that matters.
Any info would be amazing.
Thank you.

Tasker can achieve this. Just create a profile for the event screen off or power button.

I currently have my screen set to turn of when not in use at 30sec. If I have say a browser window open, step away from the phone, the screen turns off as expected. When I hit the home button, screen turns on and closes what ever app I was using, in this case the browser window.
How can I set the home button to turn the screen back on, but not close the app I was using?
Thanks...
Hi!
I don't think you can reprogram the action on click on the home button using the Samsung's stock ROM.
You may have some luck using the Xposed Additions Xposed module -- I haven't tried it myself, but based on the description, it should help you achieve what you want. You will, of course, need to be rooted and have Xposed Framework installed.
In the stock ROM, the home button switches tasks away from any open app but does not exit your ongoing session within the app.
You can long press on home to pop a task list enabling you to switch back.
You can more fully exit any task using the (curved arrow) back soft key, but the task remains partly open on the home button popup unless you either flick it aside or use the "x" soft key to close all.
Short press the power button for a simple screen wakening.
