Are there any apps that can control the buttons to launch the camera? Double press power button or something like that?
you can jus swipe down twice when the screen is off/locked

Yea but that is far slower than double clicking the power button as pulling it out of pocket

Double power-button press is definitely easier and faster. You can press them right in your pocket and whip it out and take a photo. I hope HTC adds that in as a gesture.
With Nova launcher I set up the camera to launch when I double tap the screen. Very convenient.

That's not what OP asked for though. You can already swipe down twice to launch it, but having it operated by a double button press would be nicer.
I seem to remember you were able to wake to camera on M9 by holding it landscape and hitting volume up or dn. Doesn't work here, I kinda liked that feature.
just pick the phone up in landscape mode and hit the volume down button.
edit: wait a minute, i just re-tried this and it doesn't seem to be working. i could swear it was working a couple days ago

I think it's S Voice. Go into the app and uncheck the below options.
Open via the home key
Wake up command

Power button, not sure.
Home button is defintitely s-voice, which hijacks the home button. It makes a delay so to wait for a double tap. Its very annoying.

I had the same delay and just tried this. It works! No more delay with the power button! Thanks americasteam.
Thanks, it works

Yes thanks americasteam! Only issue so far, everything else is butter.
I deactivated the S Voice option but there is still very noticeable delay when waking the phone with the Home or Power button.
Any suggestions?

Anyone?
There are thousands of threads all over this forum and other forums considering this issue.. This is (by the opinion of the majority) caused by Exynos.. When phone enters deep sleep state it takes while until Exynos wakes all 4 cores or smt like that...
I just upgraded to Jellybean. When trying to swipe up to use Google Now, absolutely nothing happens, no matter which screen I've tried it from. Is there a trick to getting the app to come up by swiping? I can tap on the Google icon on the home screen of course, but I'd like to use the swiping feature if possible...

You don't swipe uo to get Google Now to come up. You press and hold the Menu button while on the home screen. That should do the trick.

You can also hold the home key down then click the g button. You can access google now that way no matter what your doing.

How can i add more apps to that CIRCLE?
I only have google now and there is a lot of space for 4 more shortcuts..
If I am in an application and my screen turns off, I hit the home button to wake the screen and then it takes me to the desktop instead of the last app I was in? Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Would help you you state which app or all apps. The Home Button function is to go to the Home Screen.
To make the Home Button take you to the last app you were in, press and hold. It will give you a recent apps page.
That also has the task manager and Google options.

I don't think that's what he's refering to. If my screen is off(aka in sleep mode), when I press the home button to wake the screen back up, that's all the home button does with that press. It only wakes the screen up and leaves me where the phone was, when it went to sleep. If I press the home button, when the phone is awake, then yes, it does take me to the home screen.
To the OP,
I tried it with Touch Wiz and Nova Launcher, even using the app "nolocK' to lock/prevent locking of the screen. In all instances, when the screen was off and I hit the home button, it woke the screen up, but left me at in the same place where it went to sleep at.
Thanks so much chuck. Thats exactly what I am referring to. I have nova installed but I am having this problem. I wonder if it is some setting I have enabled.
I just installed no lock and messed with a lot of settings in nova. Same problem where if I wake the screen with the home button it takes me to the desktop and not my most recent app. Argg
i have this problem only when i have the on-screen nav bar. if i disable that it works fine. it's somewhat odd.

use the power button instead. works fine. home button does exactly what it is named for. takes you to your home screen.
Cant wait to try your rom t3! The home button never worked like this in the past. I am used to having home wake my screen and just want it the way it was.
Yeah, If the phone has just shut off and you press the home key it takes me back home, not to the app I was in. In this case I have to press the power button. I dont remember it doing this on the gs3. I remember hitting the home key if my phone shut off to turn it back on and it resumed where i left off.
When my screen turns off and I press the home button to wake the screen, any applications or notification popups I had disappears as the home button is being too "aggressive" and immediately takes me to the home screen.
Did I miss a setting somewhere to prevent this?
Thanks.
It seems the only way to prevent this is by enabling Swipe Lock. I guess this is why it's enabled by default?
I'm having the same problem no matter what I do when the screen times out and I press home it takeme back to my home screen. ..Have you found a solution yet?

In S-Voice app, bring up settings, make sure option to "Open via the home key" is checked. This will allow the home button to only wake the device when the screen is off. Unfortunately, this also introduces some lag when pressing the home button, as the software is waiting to see if you register a double click.

I hate that lag, that's why I unchecked it and ran into this Home Button problem.
The lag is pretty bad, like 2-3 seconds. Not practical.
Did google mention if there is a quick way to activate the camera from the lock screen? Maybe double tap power button?

It's the same as on your Nexus 6P. The camera can be activated by pressing the power button twice. This works when the screen is off, on the lockscreen or in any app that you might be in. The volume rockers will act as a shutter button if you've set them up like that in the settings. If your screen is on and you're on the lockscreen, you can also swipe up from the bottom right to activate the camera.
