Install ADW.Launcher from the Market and you'll be able to customize what Anderweb [the developer] calls the left and right action buttons. I have, from left to right, the Phone, Messages, Gmail and Google Voice apps placed as "actions" surrounding the launcher button.
Or are you referring to the "Genius" hardware button on the handset...?
the legend rom eugene released gets rid of that genius button and turns it to a music button
I found this trick in one of the tips and tricks videos on youtube and have not seen it mentioned anywhere else so thought maybe many people didnt know about it, since tips and tricks are posted all the time here and there, and every time there are people who didnt know about it.
This one was one of my favorites of the many thare are..... anyways...
push the home button, or the power button when the screen is off WHILE holding the phone in portrait, then place a finger on the lock screen, NOW rotate the entire phone to landscape and walla, camera
Yep, saw that one on one of those annoying tips that pop up every ½ second when you first start up the phone. There is a bunch of stuff you can do if you go into the motion settings

Or I could just swipe the camera at the bottom on the lock screen...lol. I couldn't get this to work. Maybe I don't have it activated.

You dont have to activate it in motion settings. You cant turn it off. You can remove the camera shortcut on the lock screen and put something usefull there

You do and you can. There's an option for Quick Camera Start under Lock Screen Settings.
By the way, I find that the camera crashes if it's in video mode when I launch it via quick-start rotate gesture. But if it's in still-photo mode, or if I launch it by swiping the lock-screen camera icon instead of by the rotate gesture, then it starts normally.

Doesn't crash for me when I use the gesture when the camera is in video mode. I love the gesture and removed the camera quick launch icon.
My phone is rooted,
How do you multitask? For example if I am using Chrome or the stock browser, how do I switch to a app without exiting the browser? I thought it was long press the back button but it does not work. And how do I change the icons on my lock screen? Ive looked through all the setting and cant find it.
1. Press and Hold the HOME button (the physical button in the middle)
2. Settings --> Lock Screen --> Lock Screen Options --> (press) Shortcuts (not the on / off button .. the word)
If you dont have the multiwindow , you need to update firmware to get it.

Thanks you did help me with lock screen icons.
Why would multi-task not be supported by my phone? This should be a basic capability with smart phones these days.

I don't think I have multi-task, when I press the Home button I just get recently opened apps. I am rooted, what firmware would I upgrade to?

That IS multitasking. You're in the browser, then you want to switch to for example the S Note app without exiting (as in closing down/quitting) the browser. You press and hold the home button and select S Note in the app list that pops up. Then when you're done you do the same thing to get back to the browser.
If you're talking about dividing the screen in two and having two apps visible at the same time, that's a different thing, it's called multi-window and is done by pressing and holding the back key, then in the list that pops up, drag for example YouTube and drop it on the top of your screen, then do the same thing again to drag some other app to the bottom of the screen.
If you don't have the multi-window feature, you need to update your firmware.

When I press the Home button in my browser I don't get a list of apps on my phone I only get recently opened apps. When you say update my firmware do you mean OTA updates? Will this affect my root?

OK. Forget about the whole update thing. I don't think we're talking about the same thing here.
Long pressing home = list of recent apps
Long pressing back = multi-window app selection bar
If you want a list of apps on your phone, you press the home button once to get back to your home screen, and from there open the app drawer.
Is that what you meant?
Sorry for my original post above, I misread what you said. I thought you were talking about the multi Window feature in note 2 which can be activated by long pressing the back button.
The multi tasking is when you long press the home button, correct. You get the list of recently opened apps. That's how it works and how it always worked.
If you want a customizable pad that's let's you switch to other apps on the fly, then I highly recommend SwipePad. You can find it in the market and it's free.

For me
Long pressing Home= list of only recently opened apps (not all the apps on my phone).
Long pressing back= does nothing on my phone when I long press it.
Long press home button gives you a list if recently opened apps, yes. That's how it works. It doesn't, in any version of android, give you a list of all installed apps in your phone. I don't know where you got that idea.
Second, if you want the multi Window feature (which opens when you long press the back button) then check OTA update. If there are no updates for you, then wait for it in the future.

To open any other app on your phone, just press Home button and then run any app you wanted, and if you want switch back to your last app long press Home.
If you still dont get it, than search in youtube for Android multitasking.
Hi
I usually had gestures where it would replace Google Now when i swipe up from the home button to sleep my phone. I was using SenseToolBox. But after updating to 4.4.3 that stopped working.
Is there another app where I can modify the home button swipe options to replace Google Now? I just want to have the to make it go to sleep when i swipe up from the home button, instead of going to Google Now.
Thanks !

With this app you can change the swipe up action: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.AdrianCampos.swipeuputility
And you could set it to launch a screen-lock app such as: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
Is there a rom that does this without having 2 apps doing it?

I just saw that the Swipe Up app has a built-in function to turn off the screen, so you actually only need that one app
Yep I saw that. But I don't think it's worth paying money for that one function though. I remembered in most custom roms I've used with my Nexus4, that ability was built in for free. Oh well, thanks for the help anyways!
Heloo!
There is this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.crazyricky.advhomebutton
you can set double tap on home button for opening a camera like on s6

this is not work for me /N915F Lollipop
Not working for me either
for me it is working, but:
1. when I am in app drawer home button is not getting me back to home screen.
2. on the edge panel tapping folder to expand it force closes cocktailbar service instead of opening folder.
Do Not use advhomebutton its not good, instead download and install home2shortcut from play store. I've been using this app for months without any problems.
