When I long-press Home button it opens Google app, but I would like to change to DuckDuckGo, I had it working on S5 but I can't find where to do this in the Note 7 settings?
Try this? It's for a different app but this is how I can get home button launcher to launch any app while holding the home button instead of Google assistant.

You can set in the app whatever you want to launch while holding the home button.

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.

No home2 shortcut does not work. i want to be able to set double click home button to voice search (google now) that app does not allow that
Well you could use nova to launch with a long press on the menu button. You could also flash cm10 instead and allow a long press of home to launch Google now. Nova might also allow home2 to assign an activity like voice search.

It won't do the double click action, but certain AOSP ROMs let you choose a custom action when long pressing the home button.

Want to share some useful information that some people might not know about...
*Problem*Everyone hates holding the home button to muktitask or launch things
*Solution* Using Apex launcher (works in Nova too), go to apex settings, behavior settings, and you can assign almost anything to a gesture. I use double tap and set it to "recent apps". Now, I just double tap anywhere on the home screen and it brings up recent apps with no lag! This has made multitasking 5 times better and so easy. I can also set Google Now to launch by swipe up, swipe down, pinch, etc. I hate the home button for anything besides going to default screen

I would also like this to work with a double press of the home button. I'm on Ktoonzes AOKP.
Ideally:
Press once - Home
Press twice - Google Now <-- what i want.
Long Press - Recent apps <-- currently how it works. I don't want to replace the long press action with search.
I am running tw Rom with trebuchet and home 2 shortcut works perfectly for this function. One Gives me home. double tap gives Google now and hold gives me tasks .
Important step is to disable s voice in settings

Home 2 shortcut works great, but and I have never had a problem with it in the LIH leak or any JB leak for that matter. Make sure you have cleared defaults and have went into s-voice setting and unchecked the home button press brings up S-voice.

As you are probably aware, double tapping the home button will launch S Voice on the Galaxy S3. Unfortunately, Samsung did not include a way to re-assign this button for a different function if you don't fancy the S Voice app. Instead, all they did was give you a way to disable the hone button double tap. Well here is a way for you to re-assign the home button double tap without the need for any rooting or modding at all.
Step 1) Go into the S Voice settings and uncheck the Launch SVoice box. This will keep S Voice from launching when you double tap the home button.
Step 2) Install Home2 Shortcut from the Play Store
Step 3) Open Home2 Shortcut and configure it to launch the app of your choosing with a double tap of the home button. The app is pretty self explanatory and setting it up will be pretty straight forward. NOTE: When you get to the end, after you tap "close" it will ask you to set as default. Select Home2Launcher as the default.
Hope this helps anyone who didn't know how to do this. I am currently running CM10, and am using this to launch Google Now with a double tap of the home button.

Awesome thread! Now is there any way to set up what launches when you long press the menu button? I see in the "other key settings" for home2 it has long press shortcuts for a "search" key and "camera" key..

Why did you quote me? That is exactly what I told people to do and is covered as nauseum in multiple posts on XDA. I didn't get into detail because people should search instead of asking the same question a million times.

Fantastic!! Thanks to everyone who mentioned on how to set this up! :good:
To do this without any extra apps would require a very small edit to android.policy.jar.
I think I experimented with it on ICS and successfully got it working. I have yet to do it on Jelly Bean though.
Just long press on home button and hit the g. now to replace s voice for Bluetooth voice dial

Try a different launcher such as Nova. You can assign the button to perform the action you want. Plus, at least for me, a scrolling dock is great. If you get Nova Prime you can also add gestures to perform your preferred action. There are others that do some of that too, but I have ended up sticking with Nova...
Good luck!

From what I can tell it is the always running s-voice app that intercepts the home press and so it waits for a split second for the 2nd home button double tap. It is not some function built into the system that can be hacked to something else. If s voice is disabled, the home button speeds up but there shouldn't be anyway to use double tap unless another app such as one of the 3rd part launchers is used. Maybe some one could make a mod of some sort to watch home button press and activate on a double tap for those who don't want to use a custom launcher.
personally i wish a double tap went directly to a google voice search
This is an option in S-voice settings . It's enabk d by default, but can be disabled. I've disabled S-voice on my phone altogether, so I can't remember exactly where it was. However, if you hit the menu button while in S-voice, you should see a lot option that says something along the lines of "open/launch S-voice by double tapping home key".
It will make the home button respond faster, however it won't launch the running app selector.
But, you can still launch the selector by doing a long press of the home key.

When I did this, my Home button long press brings up the power menu. Odd. Menu brings up Google Search, though. I had to go in and remap the Home button long press to bring up recent apps.
I was trying to make double tap home to goto google now, are you guys doing menu or home button? and which app are you picking in wanam? voice search or google search
Sent from my SM-N900V
Just "Search". I have long press menu set to bring up Google Search.
where is that option at?
Sent from my SM-N900V
Install Xposed installer, and open it. Go to "Download" and scroll down to "Xposed Additions" to install that.
Go back to the beginning of Xposed installer and open "Modules" to ensure "Xposed Additions" is checked on.
Reboot.
Go into your Apps drawer and open "Xposed Additions," and you'll see "Button Re-map Awake." Open that to remap any buttons you want while your screen is on. For the "Menu Button" the "Long Press" option you want to choose is "Search"
If anyone wants double click home to open Voice Search, you can try the app Home2 Shortcut from the Playstore. Assign it as your main launcher and from within the app pick your real launcher to be assigned to 1 click of the home button. Then select voice search as the double click action. This take you directly into voice commands instead of having to say "ok Google" to launch it in Google Now

Very cool, without root!
I have come to learn that I would only want root for titanium backup as there are so many unrooted options for things I thought I needed root for like wifi tether or app permission management.

You can't double tap power to open another app other than the default Google camera app. But you can set the double tap feature to open an app of your choice.
Setting/system/gestures/
that workaround will have to do for now, much appreciated
You can also map another double tap on the up volume button for example to launch an app using Button Mapper.
Button Mapper: Remap your keys - Apps on Google Play
Remap hardware buttons to launch any app, shortcut or action
play.google.com
Nothing to map soft keys though. I'm looking for 'double-tap' back button for notifications, like the OnePlus 8 Pro has.
