[Q] Tweak Home Button Settings

I have searched everywhere that I can and can't seem to find the solution I'm looking for.
Basically what I want to do is remap the home button. Normally, when double-pressed S-Voice will launch, and when long-pressed the recent apps panel will open. What I want to do is switch those (and use Google Now instead). So what I mean is that I want double-pressing the home button to bring up the recent apps panel and I want long-pressing the home button to bring up the search app Google Now).
I found that the Wanam Xposed module allows me to remap the long-press action to launch Google Now, which gets me halfway there. But I still need something that will open the recent apps panel when I double-press the home button.
I have tried the Home2 app in the Play Store, but I don't like the way it works. I was hoping for something that is more built-in and integrated, if you know what I mean.
Thank you for your help!

I'm using Samsung devices since about 2 years and since that time I'm looking for something that can do this. Haven't found anything so far, do I would love to see a solution for this!
In the meantime gestures do a fine job though. I rarely ever use my home button.

BUMP
Anyone know of a solution?

Navigation key button remapping?

On previous phones xposed and gravity box would allow me to remap my navigation keys. A long press of back would bring me to the last used app, long pressing recents would kill the current app.
Since the S6 does not work with xposed, I am in a dire search for a way to do this.
Any suggestions?

How to get Google Assistant?

I am currently running the latest nightly of Lineage OS on my Nexus 6P.
I also have Google Assistant by flashing the Google Assistant Velvet and Build prop zips.
I cannot seem to activate the Google Assistant by long pressing the home button because it brings up the recent apps.
How can I configure the home button for Google Assistant?

You should not need to do anything other than set the language to "English (US)".

I have changed the system app to English US as well as Google app language to English US.
Doesn't seem to make a difference.

Gapps nano and English US is all I did. If something still prevents it all that is needed is a simple build.prop edit. No zip or anything. Just a Google App enabled Gapps

Configure the behaviour of the buttons in Settings -> Buttons
Caveat: I'm not using LineageOS any longer so I am not 100% sure if those settings still exist. They did a couple of months ago.

setting system language to English us won't change that. for that your google account should be us one. i also had the same problem because in sri lanka still assistant is not rolled out. i enable it thanks to that man. try if you want.

he changed my google account country and enabled me new assistant

Go to settings-apps-touch on the setting icon given above the right side -then go to assist and voice input-select assist app as google- then clear all google play services and Google app data by doing clear all -then go to settings -buttons-select long press home button action for search assistant. that's it your assistant will be working....

There is no quick launch option in the camera settings in the galaxy s9

I have seen the galaxy s9 camera has an option of a quick launch by double clicking the power button, and this can be enabled by the activating the quick launch option in the camera settings, however this option is no where available in my phone, is this an option disabled for the indian made phones ?
Regards,
Glenn

For me, it's the 5th option under Settings > Advanced Features > "Quick launch Camera"
But I guess the Indian version does not have that? here's some options from the S8, which might be similar: https://www.sammobile.com/news/indi...8-users-quick-launch-camera-always-on-display
A few other ideas to consider:
My favorite it use a custom launcher (such as Nova), and I set it so that if I swipe up anywhere on the home screens, it launches the camera.
Additionally, I did see an app that could remap the bixby hard key on the left to be any action or application you wanted, such as the Camera. I forget the name of this app, but I'm sure you can find it if you search for remapping the bixby button.

Thanks,
But could not find it under advanced features too
But with the thread you shared, im able to do it with the home button, it helps
