I had the long tap to Google services and double tap to small apps/recent apps in the latest 6.2.B.1.96 ROM when installed on my XPERIA LT26i
I installed a rooted DooMLoRD recovery kernel (no overclock) did my usual bloatware cleanup in /system/app and seem to have removed the long tap Google services option and only have the double tap small apps/recent apps left.
For me this is an interesting development which I'm warming to, as I have no long tap 'moments' by accident and I'm now used to a double tap for small apps/recent apps
I have no idea which of the tens of apps I removed that changed the long tap/double tap, or whether it was a root access kernel that did it, but you know, I kind of like it just as a double tap and no long tap.

if you uninstalled the google app, ie the search app [blue icon with white "G"] then the long press home button will stop working..
I just got the note 3 coming for the note 2 and i love the phone but I've found an irritating issue with the note 3 S Finder. I've been able to uninstall it after rooting with titanium backup as there is no way to disable or remove while stock. now what i want to do is to be able to long press the menu button like i did with my note 2 and bring up Google now but after uninstalling S Finder and trying to create a tasker profile that would give me those results i cant seem to find how to input a hardware menu long press into tasker as the only long press option im given is camera button long press. Which the note 3 has no dedicated camera button. Any tips or ideas on how i can get my Google now back via a menu key long press?
No one has any ideas or suggestions that might be of some kind of help. I'd really appreciate it.

I totally understand your frustration. Also coming from a Note 2, I used Google Now quite often. So, what I, did was add Google Now shortcut to my locksceen. I got rid of the other shortcuts (email, camera, etc etc) and just put a Google Now shortcut. It works for me.

I was even more frustrated, because I used to long press 'menu' button for in-app search OR as Google <Now> app shortcut on the home screen of Touchwiz.
So how to replace the S-Finder with Google search, how to return the Note 2 behavior (Google Now search + In-App Search when applicable):
1) Root the device
2) Install latest Xposed framework from the official website.
3) Launch Xposed framework, activate it and press reboot button in the app.
4) Launch Xposed framework, go to Repository, find the GravityBox module and install it. Sorry, I am not allowed to post links on this forum.
5) Return to Xposed framework, go to Modules, check the new installed GravityBox module.
6) Launch GravityBox app, go to Navigation buttons, select 'Long-press Menu button' and change the behavior to 'In-app search'. Go back.
That's it. Now you have that in-app search AND you have Google Now (or other preferred search app) on the home screen!
Anyway to get the menu overflow button into all apps and disable menu key or make it multitask key? Xposed modules or Roms? I loathe the menu key. All of my other devices have software buttons so I'm always thrown off when going to my note. Thanks

xposed module: 3-dot menu mod do the job(add soft menu key). Install it, activate in xposed and restart.
PS. And Samsung did it again wrong, because the menus are ugly in all their apps (light grey icons on a white background).
delete
Good stuff. This restored the 3 dot menu in Chrome after Google yanked it out in the last update.
I peronwly love the menu button

Now to find a way to turn the menu button into a task switcher button and set long press home to google now
Youre right ... Listen to me get xposed modules install gravity box jellybean version... and use their pie controls.... make them appear on left side.... so use ur left thumb to acces home button and recent task on pie.... and your right thumb for the return button ... i know the feels... since that threw me off too ... this way you can comfortably navigate without sacrificing screen estate... .. trust me it rocks... contact me if you have more questions .. youre welcome

Long press home to Google Now can be done with Xposed. Both my phone and tablet work like that. I use Switchr for task switching with the activator in the bottom left and Button Savior Pro on the bottom right.
mine does that automatically. it also tried opening dolphin for some reason LoL
Got my G3 today and have been spending a good amount of time setting it up.
I am rooted and have Xposed w/G3 Tweaksbox.
I have a couple of things that still annoy me.
Is there a way to swap the behavior of the recent apps button? I want short press to be menu and long press to be recent apps. I figured out I can add a menu button using G3 Tweaksbox that does exactly that, but I can't remove the stock recent apps button, so I have 4 buttons there and I don't really like that.
When I drag up the recent apps button, I get a little semi circle selector with voicemate, search and quickmemo+ options. I have no intention of ever using voicemail or quickmemo+. Is there a place to change the 3 things that come up there?

Most modern apps use the 3 dot menu button in the app interface and that is why most modern phones tablets do away with dedicated menu button so why would you want to do this?

You'll get used to the new buttons in no time. Just give it a little time and you'll look back at the S3 thinking the button layout was dumb.i had an S3 and S4. Love the G3 and the on screen buttons!

I have the exact thing you want; but I don't want it. I'm rooted with Xposed framework and I randomly rebooted my phone earlier to have it turn back on with a functioning menu button. I looked through all the modules I had downloaded and even booted into safe mode but to no avail. I desperately need help with this.
Sorry that's not what you want, but if anyone knows how to get that, that's why I want.

Sorry for reposting this... Thought I posted in a different thread but I guess I'm wrong. Please don't crucify me
As a long time samsung user, I'd say try without the menu button and see how you get on first.
But you can change the swipe up (and thats a swipe up from anywhere on the navigation bar btw, try it out), using tweaksbo, it's under:
theme > ring pad
And you can either turn it off, or add up to 5 custom apps.
The recent apps button is kinda key to android, it's like asking to remove the home button. Maybe instead of adding a menu button, make double tap on home be the menu button instead? Then you'd still have your three icons, and wouldn't lost out on recent apps, which you should end up using more now it's easier to reach (as opposed to a long press on the home button on samsung).
As noted most apps should use the 3 dot menu button so unless you have an outdated app you use regularly you really shouldn't even want a dedicated menu button. Ask the developer to update the app. It's the way forward and most all modern phones don't have a dedicated menu button, even the S5 replaced the menu button with the multitask button. It you really can't adapt ask the G3 Tweaks xposed developer if he can add a menu button option as the G3 already has the framework to change nav buttons.
How can you change them?

Just use the LG Display menu in settings to remove that button and xposed to add other button options. I'd like to know what people use, I'm on a 4 button system. I'll post pics when I get a chance
I somehow managed to change them on a system level if that's even possible. I disabled all modules and even booted into safe mode and they were still there. I'd like to change it back on whatever level it got modified. And the settings app crashes when I try to change the button combination.
The OP did not want to replace the resents button with menu, but only change its behavior: short press - menu, long press- resents. I am very interested in the same setup.

In TweaksBox under theme tweaks, then ring pad. It let's you select one in the free version. In the donate version you can select up to 5 shortcuts in the ring pad or disable it altogether.
settings / display / home touch buttons / button combination
I think they are standard options and not something I've added in. let's you add/remove a button such as the menu button or recent apps. screen is wide so I use 5 buttons.

personally don't use program #1 the ring selector as it is accidentally opening all the time with use of the back button.

Hold the recents and thats your menu button. Thats a default setting i believe. No need for g3 tweakbox unless a longpress isnt what you want. Idk which model you have but the tmobile version doesnt let you add the menu button on the nav bar.

G3 Tweaksbox,theme, ring pad, disable ring pad.
This can easily accomplish through xposed. but somehow xposed causes serious performance issues with lags to my G3. I tried it twice, yet xposed is not gonna work well. Does anyone know a way to assign last app switch to a nav bar key. (like, long press on notification pull key or back key)
Can we do this by editing "usr/keylayout" files(root)
I tried paid apps for app switching but non of them are productive.
If anyone know a way to do this without xposed please help me out! Thank you!
