I am using CheckROM Revo HD V5, I noticed that if I long press the MENU key (soft) It will no longer launch Google Search, even though it's installed, do you know how to fix this ?, also is it possilbe to assign the HOME button to launch Vlingo when I will double click it ?, thanks a lot

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 ?

but thr s not longpress on home button it s just swipe up from everywhr on bottom bar
and i don think on stock rom maybe u can change it by custom rom like CM
check feature of CM10.1 for xperia Z

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!
I use Google Voice all the time and it sure would be nice to have it at my finger tips instead of digging in my apps, everytime I want to use it. Is there a simple remap app?

In the settings for Gear Manager you can choose the app that is assigned to the double press shortcut. If you're on null rom you'll need to revert the home button remapping so instead of a lock button it is a home button again. You can't manually sleep the screen when you do this however. To get around that I put GMD gesture control on the watch to add a swipe in gesture to the right side to sleep the watch (also have a swipe in from left for back and swipe from bottom for home). If you've added any apps to the watch after setting it up they won't show in Gear Manager. To get them to show up in GM you need to delete the file /data/data/com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager/files/wapplist.xml and reboot your phone. Personally I used tasker on my watch for music controls. I then export those tasks as apps and delete that file so they show up in GM. I also installed the regular version of Gravity Box so I could map long press of the button to another app. Hope that points you in the right direction.

Note that there is a feature in GravityBox under status bar tweaks where you can enable sleep on double tap of the status bar. I use this, and it works great!
That way, you can avoid using more precious storage space for an app (like GMD) to provide the same function.

I like having the swipe up go to a specific home screen with my clock on it via a tasker task exported to an app.

Hi, since double tap to wake works like a charm but its frustrating me about turning screen off, we still need to use that power on button which has bad feeling in comparison of older xperia
Nova launcher has a double tap system for screen off
Anyone has an app/mod that allows a double tap/simple tap to put screen off?
Thanks

if you are not rooted and don't mind having an icon on the homescreen try this here on the play store JB Lock Now
if you are rooted you can try this xposed module http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-doubletaptosleep-v1-0-t2667177]
Thanks for these apps but i dont want physical icons, its annoying to put it on each menu
That one within navbar, great idea, i gonna try it :fingers-crossed:

You don't need icons for the 2 I mentioned. They work as shortcuts with Nova gestures, 1tap, 2tap or whatever you prefer. Just give them a try.
i use greenify in combination with nova gestures

I use screen off and assign it to double tap with Nova (need to have paid nova though)

i use greenify hibernation shortcut ..... which is swype upward from home button to see "whats new" and "google search" .... swype towards "google search" and select "hibernate + lock screen" (always).
this is best according to me .... cause u dnt need to be on home screen always .... it can be done from any screen !!
obviously u need greenify installed

Thanks, tested and i approve this method :good:
Xperia Xposed (KK) >> Xperia Home >> Desktop >> Double Tap Gesture >> Lock Screen
It does work with stock home launcher only!
Not too sure if it works on the Z3, but on my HTC i have installed a app called all in one gestures, which allows me to double tap the top notification bar, and the screen knocks itself off.
I am sure you can customize it the way you want it, hopefully it will work on the Z3, as i have just bought one myself.
Oh thanks great found, gonna try it :good:
Gravity Box has this option. I have it on long press of recent apps. Makes it available from everywhere. You could also use Greenify's screen off through Gravity Box and assign it to a long press or create an extra navigation item and have it there; tap, double tap, long press.
No root method
I am using a clear home screen widget from this app. Just add to homescreen and resize.
Works like a charm.
Ummm ok new user , so just search google play for DTSO.
I use Nova Launcher Prime and "Screen off and lock"
Use the app Soft Lockscreen from the play store. Just keep the app icon anywhere on the homescreen

is there anyway to make greenify shortcut to work on lockscreen of lollipop, either by replacing camera icon or phone icon, ?
just use gravity screen. it saves me the use of any buttons and no xposed is required.
1)anyone can tell me how i can deactivate the vibration when i press the touch button?
2) is there a setting that can make my home button touch again? since I installed this rom I am forced to press the home button.
These two problems I have with this rom just there because I do not find the settings for that.
thanks in advance
1) you must go in audio settings, other sounds and you can find the option to disable.
2) no, there is no option yet... But you can download an app called Fingerprint Quick Action... You find the app on XDA forum.
Thanks a lot
