How can I modify home button long press on CM9/PA?

I want to launch recent apps when the physical home key is pressed. Any ideas?

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.

Home button

When we keep the home button active we can open google now so I eant to know if we can change this for a other app like phone or whatever. Can we use it like a shortcut?

Not on stock. But in cm it is possible to add shortcuts there

[Q] How to exit out of apps with null?

I installed flappy bird on my gear (ha ha) and once I start it up there is no way to exit except to reboot the unit! I suspect there is some shortcut or gesture for this in null that I don't know about. Does anyone know?

Doesnt back (Swipe down) work to exit the app?

It does not. I assume it is because the application has captured all of the swipe events but I don't know that for sure.

There is something in gear manager that says Double press power to do "X". In X you can pick any of your apps like double press power to open Nova Launcher. However, when I double press power it doesn't do squat except for turn my screen off and on.

I had the same problem. Use 2 fingers to tap on the screen. That will open running apps. Then swipe left or right to close. Hope that helps

Pie control work also...

What is pie control?
Two finger tap brings up my battery/brightness/volume control. Not closing anything from there.

Have you tried to tap n hold for a second? I'm not sure how to bring up battery etc. Mine must be different.

Ok just read the user manual. Double tap with 2 fingers brings up brightness volume etc. Single tap with 2 fingers should open up running apps.

A long press on the Nova home screen would bring up the thing to add an app or a widget.

Recent apps button vs. Menu

Just got S5 active.
Using app My cast lite.
Can't get into menu to turn off notifications without using the menu button.
Since they replaced that with the Recent Apps button, how do I Aves the menu in apps like this?
Thanx!

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
