I am new to android and moto x. When swiping up from the home button i have a shortcut to jump into google search. Is there a way to add other shortcuts to this menu? I feel like there should be but I can't quite find the setting. I'm running the stock launcher. Thanks.

It can be done with cm11, also try gravity box, I do believe there is an option in quick settings? You need to be rooted and have xposed framework installed

Sup,
When you longpress the Home button you can swipe it up to the Google Now.
I don't really like this Google Now. It would be way better if you could start any App via Home button. i.e Camera.
So does anyone know of a fix/hack/mod to change Google now ?

You're right. But Longpress also works ^^
Ah well, I'll wait for official 4.2 and switch toa custom ROM then.
Hey @Haldi4803
I suggest you take a look at the excellent Slide Launcher which allows for launching multiple custom actions, including camera app, quicktext a contact, etc.
If all you want is launch a single app, no question asked, you may use Home Button Launcher
that looks awesome! Thx dude!
Hi guys,
Currently on HTC one, we can access to google now by swiping up from Home button.
Can we somehow use that to access to quicksettings instead?
Thanks.

Never seen any Mod that does that ... Why would you want that, it really isn't any quicker than swiping from the top with two fingers

If you are root, you can try the LMT launcher.
With that, you can customize all the gesture.
For now this launcher is not working great with the HTC one. Everytime you reboot your phone, you need to re-select the correct type of device (it change randomly).
I recommend you to disable the pie and only use the swipe part.
Thanks guys, google now disabler works.

Viperone can map all the buttons to whatever you like. Works flawlessly. I have swipe up to search, not Google now. Useful for searching within apps.

Yeah viperone Rom maps buttons love it works great
Anyone know how to access Google Now "Voice" on the Xperia Z lockscreen or before you unlock your phone?
Google Now widget doesn't allow that.
Currently I can either have google search widget or icon on home screen.
Even if I can change the "long hold soft home key" to go directly to voice instead of search that would be great.
Thanks!

There are plenty of ways if you are rooted, I personally have it as the center shortcut on LMT pie controls.
U can also use gestures to activategoogle now coice using LMT.

Thanks for your reply.
I should have added that I would like to keep stock launcher/lockscreen and without any additional apps running in the background if possible.
I really have no use for additional controls.

Ok then if you can, install uccw and create a widget with a google voice hotspot.
My phone is going through the flashing process or else i would've seen what else was possible.

Yeah, been searching around and looks like I may have to install an app.
uccw sounds ok. I just want something as unobtrusive as possible.
Checking out the playstore for some gesture apps as well.
Did you try holding the home button for a second then swipe upward after you see Google now icon appears. Then say "Google" it will automatically activate Voice command. I hope it helps.

just swiping up from the home button is enough, I think.
Hi,
Quick question since moving from the N3 to N4 it was pretty smooth transition. Except for the some irksome things like changing compactive menu button to recent apps. Is their an app that i can use to change it back to menu instead of recent apps?

long press the recent apps button and it acts like a menu button
other then that i am not sure, though it should be a feature you can change eventually and i believe the word you are looking for is capacitive buttons.

Is it possible to add a multitasking button to the navigation bar without flashing a custom ROM?
I am on a XT1097 rooted stock Lollipop.
Is the square button not multitasking? All the way to the right like all stock android versions?

Hmm.. yeah, maybe I did not explain myself correctly.
I meant a button to go back and forth between two apps.
Let's say you are on a hangouts session and editing a drive doc. Someone says something interesting and you want to take notes and quickly get back to the hangout session.
I had this button when using CyanogenMOD on my Nexus 5, but now I don't know how to do it on rooted lollipop stock.
Ah. On stock android, it's only the recent apps button that I know if. Switching between two apps with one touch sounds like a custom thing.

Yes, a thing I want to customize
I recently started using tiny apps app. It's got a floating app drawer that can hide on the side so you don't have to go back to the home screen. Other than that, I believe there are numerous apps that will give you an app drawer with a swipe from the left side of the screen.
