Nice tip about long pressing the button to get to settings quickly. Thanks
I had already enabled developers options by going to settings, then about and tapping Build Number a bunch of times, but your way is obviously much quicker.
Update:
Just found out that if you long press the home screen you can change watch faces.
For the record - Pressing it 7 times enabled developer tools

I can launch it when hone key is pressed and I'm on PA v0.3 with navigation bar on....you should really be searching PA thread if you're having trouble..

Yeah, I can change a key press of it to launch recents instead of going to home but that isn't what I'm looking for.
I want to remap long press functionality which is a more involved process.
Thank you.

I'm trying to get this to work as well. I'm trying to map it to the menu button. All threads I can find, tutorials included, are remapping to single press too. I've been checking out the key layouts folder in system/usr but I can't find anything referring to long presses. Have you made any progress?
If I remember correctly for the HW long press the DPI of the handset needs to be set to 'Phone' rather then 'Tablet' if you are using the latest version of PA.

Is long-pressing home very much preferable to the default way of doing this (double-tapping home)?

I my self would definitely prefer a long press rather than having to double tap. Sometimes I miss the second two and just go home but would have no problems with a long press.

Any solution to this? I'd like to make long-press home as the multi-tasking view and disable double-press home entirely (don't care about google now).
On the new 4.2.2 long press is now the menu button, double tap home is the recent apps like before and press, hold, and swipe up is the Google now

Yea I just saw this when I flashed to a 4.2.2 ROM. The thing I want to disable is the double-tap home button as it makes the single-press home a bit laggy since it has to wait to see if the second button press of home is registered or not. I would rather the phone just instantly goes home when I press home which requires the double-tap home function to be disabled which is why I'd like to rebind the task-switcher to something else like long-press home.

It doesn't make it laggy, as it doesn't wait for the second tap. You can still do the second tap once it gets to the homescreen. If you think it's slow, you should see the Samsung Galaxy phones with their REAL homebutton lag

It does... this is exactly what I'm relating it to. On my S3 it had double-press home to go to the S-Voice app. Once I disabled that feature, the home button would be instant on the S3. Otherwise, it would be "waiting" for the 2nd press. It's the same thing with the HTC One... at least it feels like it.
And no, I can't still do the 2nd tap when I get to the home screen...

I can some people store more electrical charge in their fingers, guess you are lacking that 'zap'
In all seriousness, I don't have any lag and you can disable the double tap by editing the framework.jar

Lol... well I feel the vibration feedback of the 2nd tap but it just acts as me pressing the home screen again, not part of the 2nd press from the 1st. I've tried timing it very closely but I still can't get it to go home and then bring up the task switcher. I can just get it to go home, then go home again, or get the task switcher.
Disabling it is only half the battle... I still want to bind the task-switcher to long press but I lack the know-how to do it lol. Thought there would be something built into modaco's framework to do it but I don't see that level of button customization there yet.

Well you have to do it by placing your finger in the HTC logo on the bottom, and slide it up on the screen. Did you do that correctly perhaps?

Landscape view is not supported on a stock rom as far as I know, I would wait for some rom development I'm sure it will get baked in. I noticed on this phone that the ... will appear on the far right if there is no place in the app for a soft key menu. So if the ... is there use that, if it isn't there should be a place in the app where you can press to do the same thing as pressing the menu. I actually wouldn't mind a full time menu key in the far right, I think it's very handy. I original capacitive 4 buttons on the evo were still my favorite lay out.

If you use GravityBox & XPosed, you can have one there at all times. See screenshots. They were taken from my Nexus 7 Tablet, but you should expect no difference, with the exception of the small window in the first screenshot (courtesy of the XHaloFloatingWindow module).
I might have to give this a try. The space is there for the menu key so I wouldn't mind it always being there.

That's definitely something that I am likely to use on every device with on screen buttons. Using GravityBox, I remapped the menu to switch to the last app when double tapped, and show the power menu when long pressed. It's wonderful.

There is a way. Download Gravity box (KK) and open it. Then scroll down and click on navigation key actions, then modify the long press and single tap for Recents Key

When we released the rom, the menu button does menu, long press home was recent apps, what happen?
Not all apps are letting me take a screen shot while swiping my hand across the screen. This is my first Samsung Galaxy device, previously on my other phones ( Nexus 4 & 5, One Plus One, Moto X Pure) you could take a screen shot via pressing a combo of the volume and / or power buttons. Any options here?

I don't have the phone yet, but you should be able to take screenshots from any screen using Google Now "On Tap" by holding the home button and hitting the share icon.
I miss the spen button down double tap screen for a screen capture.
