I'm on CM7 nightly 256. I would love for a single tap on my home button launch the recent apps, then a second tap bring up the home screen. Is this possible? instead of a long press to open the recent app screen. I recently installed Perfect Task Switcher to fill the void left from the ics switcher and it leaves quite a bit to be desired.
If I were to self into writing an app for this, what function is called to bring up recent apps?
I am always looking for Info for good apps, apps that make our phones function even better. Anyways I stumbled upon this app just by doing going through my Apps in the market and finding other apps related or "apps people also installed etc.
It is called home2 home shortcut. What is does it installs as another home launcher but is doesn't replace you current launcher. If you set it as default home it will ask you what launcher you want to use etc. One you do that you can set up the following to open and app and most shortcuts by doing soft key combos
Press home and home again - pick the app that you want to launch when you do the combo
Now click other settings below this above setting
Press home then search key - pick app you want to launch
Press home then back button -pick app etc
Press home and menu button - pick app that you want to launch when you do the combo
Here is a link.

Hi guys, If you're like me who dont want to press and hold the home button to show the recent apps list, I would like to share this great app I found in google play...

No permission and so simple and best of all it's free. :good:
Update:
Only drawback is you can only use it while you're in the home screen (where you can click the icon).. :crying:
Is it possible to change the delay on the home button long press to bring up the task manager more quickly in touchwiz? By default it feels frustratingly slow!
I want to keep the S-apps so I am not interested in a different home manager.
Thanks
Here the little known solution.

Please here me out as this involves installing Nove launcher. Something you stated you do not wish to do.
Install Nova launcher but after pressing the home button choose TouchWiz "always".
If you now long press the screen and choose "apps & widgets". In there somewhere is a widget called Nova launcher. Long pressing this to place it on the screen invokes a menu that actually belongs to the Nova launcher where you can choose "Recent apps". This places a recent apps shortcut on your screen which open instantly.
This obviously does not help if you are not on the home screen and will jump back to a previous app. In such situations you should use the best app on the market for multitasking which is called SwipePad. You need to purchase the "recent apps" add on ftbut it's worth it.
Hope this helps.
I wish S-apps (especially the S-Planner widget) worked with third party launchers. Touchwiz is smooth and fast but the grid is simply to limited and no full screen annoys me.
download taskmanager app from samsung appstore...put it on homescreen
Disable double press of the home button in S voice.
Whenever you press the home button it waits to see if you double press it before deciding that you only intended to press it once.

Thanks for these tips, swipepad looks very interesting!
Also I didn't realize that the pop-up S-Note still worked with Nova Launcher, so I may keep Nova anyway (I think I can live without S-Planner...)
hey guys, saw a review where someone was able to use a multi window app in the edge panel by just picking apps in the columns. i habe a canadian note 7 and couldnt find that feature anywhere. wondering if this is a US or other country only feature? I can use multi wi doe, but only by minimizing each app. attached is a pic ofwhat Im talking about, spent forever trying to find it...any help is appreciated!
Press and hold the Recents key. It's the button to the left of your Home button.
Open the first app you want to use.
Open the second app you want to use. Note3: you can't open the same app twice.
