[APP] homeMYhome (customize home double tap)

Hi folks, with this app you can select any application to be launched on home double tap button / bluetooth longpress.
Requires a Samsung-based rom
no Cyanogen/AOSP/AOKP, sorry. UPDATE: for non-sammy ROMS you can use Home2 Shortcut (thanks to InfiniteRecall).
Only one rule: my app use the same package name of Samsung Voice Control (I've chosen the easy way to do this hack ), so you have to delete /system/app/VoiceToGo.apk (if your rom include it) and reboot before installing the attached .apk.
In last leaked Ice Cream Sandwich roms I've found VoiceToGo is in different location:
XXLP2 > /system/app/vlingo.apk
XXLPB > /data/app/com.vlingo.client.samsung-1.apk
</useful information>
I've written this app simply because I don't like Samsung Voice control, I was using Vlingo on my Nexus One and I think it was much more efficent and less Samsung-centric. Afterwards I decided to share it with you, so I added an activity to choose any installed application.
Hope you'll like it as I do, suggestions&donations are welcome.
CHANGELOG
1.0 (12/10/11)
- first release
1.1 (13/10/11)
- changed app launch mode (google talk fc)
- changed save preference mode to work without sqlite sync (toast confirmation didn't appear, app didn't close itself automatically, and settings was lost on restart, if you had this problem uninstall and reinstall)
1.2 (15/07/13)
- Jelly Bean version (thanks e495957 for testing) - UNINSTALL PREVIOUS VERSION BEFORE

Removed the apk and installed ur app, but when i click on an app i want to use, nothing happens. running on 2.3.4 KH3
Ah it did work, just needed a reboot. and it kind of needs a confirmation of the app you've chosen.
One way or another, nice app ^^

a toast notification is shown when you select the app, at least on my phone
do you had VoiceToGo.apk?
maybe a reboot is needed anyway, waiting for other experiences

Thank you very much c3k, i'll test it now. It was on my todo list
edit: works perfect. thanks man

This is a great idea, i cant download it at present but will try this tonight
Thanks

Hey c3k,
GREAT application! Comes closest to a solution for the lack of a dedicated search hardware button, like the O2x has. Great, great, great! Thanks a bunch.
And, errrr, by the way, selecting the application to launch in the list on my SGS2 also throws a toast notification. Very intuitive and spartan interface, doesn't exactly need a manual. Props!

deleted

Thanks, works perfectly , I don't need voice control often, but it would be cool if we could use it anyway (but not on double tap), is there a way you could do this?

Hello will this launch a app on the homescreen by double tap?
That would be cool then we have no more unwanted apps starting by accident.

You can install Vlingo (is the reason because this app exists!)
I'm not sure, but I think it has all the Samsung Voice Command features (beacause Vlingo team made it), but it works better (at least with my voice) and it's more flexible.
No way to install Samsung Voice Command and homeMYhome on the same device...

No we are talking about home BUTTON double tap

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.crazyricky.advhomebutton
this one is long time in the market and has a better interface...

wooops, world is always smaller than one can think
my app is still slightly different: I don't replace the home application (so it can continue to work as android engineers designed), I take advantage of the service that samsung puts on his firmware just to launch the voice app (the same service that the app you report seems to irremediably kill)
...and it works from the lookscreen too!

So that app kills the process and creates its own? And your app keeps this ssamsung process and makes a different use of it, right?
Edit: You convinced me. Ok, so I'm choosing your app

Erm file is not supported on my phone..?

How do I undo this??? I downloaded it and decided I didn't want to use it, cleared data and uninstalled, no my double tap does nothing.... I want my "recent apps" back.

Landscape launcher [W/O ROOT!]

Hi! I modified stock Nexus 7 launcher from JRO03D ROM to work also in landscape mode even without rooting device. It's pure Nexus experience in landscape mode!
You can download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doodleapps.launcher
DON'T WORRY ABOUT PERMISSIONS! IT'S STANDARD ANDROID LAUNCHER PERMISSIONS, IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME CHECK IT IN APPS SETTINGS! (Settings -> Apps -> All -> Launcher)
If you like my app, please vote it on Google Play!

Installed and working a treat. many thanks!!

I was working on my own, but yours works a lot better. . Thank you, you should make a donate version.

And let's face it, those rotation apps are crap, they made my device lag. Especially when playing games. Tried two of them and ended up removing both of them.

Everybody who want to donate me, can do it via "Donate to me" button.

Not being rude but I'd rather a Google play donate because of my free credits, yes. I'm cheap. Sorry. If not I will consider it.

Ok. Maybe I'll make a donate version

Although a little bit laggy compares to default one.

Why not just use Nova launcher? (would link it but posting requirements don't allow me).
Looks and acts exactly the same as stock launcher, and has customisation if needed, obviously including landscape mode.

Aokp + cm s pen helper + s pen helper = s pen features on aosp!

https://www.dropbox.com/s/eebkzugsm7ek12s/CM S-Pen Addon.apk <--- CM S PEN HELPER. starts a monitoring service in AOSP ROMs so that SPEN helper becomes functional again!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tushar.spen_helper&hl=en <--- S PEN HELPER WHICH IS JUST AMAZING!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyingbusstudio.snappadfree <--- HAVENT TESTED YET BUT SHOULD BE A GOOD ALTERNATIVE TO POP UP NOTE FROM TW!

Interesting...
Side-loaded first apk, now the phone knows when s-pen is detached and reattached but 2nd app (from the Market) is a little goofy. I can get it to either put a link to Papyrus in the status bar when pen detached, or do nothing. Neither is very helpful.
What am I missing?
3rd app is just weird, lol
I can see the potential

This is actually pretty cool. I'm on cyanogenmod and I hated how the spen didn't vibrate when it was detached. Now with these apps it vibrates and shows a detached notification plus makes the same sound when detaching(if you have the stock sound files). The third app is nice but it's kind of slow/laggy when you slide it out. I uninstalled it because it made my phone seem slow. If they fix that I will download again

thanks,
dump question, if official 4.2 rom comes out with the spen app for android 4.2, will the spen app be use on the CM 10.1?

MIUI is sort of a combination of the two. I don't know how they do it exactly but MIUI is the only ROM I've found that has features from both TW and AOSP.

If you could make an app that let's me use HDMI out on the phone, i could say goodbye to Touchwiz forever!!

Both apps now working great! Removing S-pen now turns on the display and opens Papyrus instantly, and closes it when pen is reinserted.
5 stars, and will buy pro version.

HTC sense 7 launcher for s6/s6 edge

HTC SENSE 7 LAUNCHER FOR S6/S6 EDGE​
Ok guys, so far this is just a base for a project, currently my device doesn't have root, therefore I'm doing what i can without. Therefore here is the sense 7 launcher working that can be installed on your Galaxy S6/Edge. Install both APK'S
Once/IF we get root i can definitely get things working better. However, in the meantime, when placing widgets you can jut tap them, and move them later.

I installed the APKs. I personally like a Transparent weather widget app. Offers 4x1, 4x2, and 4x3 versions with tons of customizations of fonts colors skins, tranparency options, you name it. For the life of me could not drag the widget to the appropriate pages. Small widges fit. This that overlap dont stick

Gonna try this now.. but curious if the HTC theme works with your launcher?

I'm not able to add most widgets onto the homescreen. Is there any way to fix this?

Is really HTC theme works for your launcher...?

Blink feed
So I'm guessing the blink feed don't work still. It just wouldn't load. Other then just say loading, never does.

Change Icons in Pixel Launcher?

Has anybody figured out a way to change the icons in the Pixel Launcher? I found I can use Awesome Icons to swap them out but it won't let me change the icons in the dock.
I have nothing against Nova Launcher but would prefer to use the stock Launcher.
Thanks

That's called the dock. I don't quite know what your looking to do though. You said you can use Awesome Icons to swap them out, but can't change them?? You'd likely need an app to allow icon changes. I use Nova launcher to allow various icon packs to be used, but not sure if that's what you want.

Thanks for the info. Updated op. Not sure why I couldn't remember dock (not enough coffee). My issue is that I can change all the icons except the ones in the dock. I will probably end up using Nova but would like to find a way to do this in Pixel Launcher.
