Home button long press - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running a stock based Rom, firekat I believe.
my issue is when long pressing the home key I get 3 options, Google, greenify, nothing. There is no option to choose a default action.
Second party to this is that I do not have the default app choice option when clicking an icon as there was in previous versions.
Can anyone clear this up?

I don't know what the options are if you use Touchwiz, I don't. I use Apex and change the behavior of longpress in Apex settings. I'm also on Firekat V7.

I'm using wanam but it won't change the home key default

Nova launcher will let you set any action for it. (I think most launchers will do this too)

Help With Launcher Pro

I have Launcher Pro set to default launcher, how can i undo this without uninstalling the program? Just if i wanted to use the default tw?
What I do is install a custom launcher and then press home. It gives me the option to set my default again

Go to Settings, then Manage Applications, then select LauncherPro, the go down to Launch by Default, then click Clear Defaults.
The next time you press the Home button, it will ask which Launcher you want to use. If you leave the Use as Default checkbox unchecked, it will ask every time you press the Home button. If you don't mind extra clicks, it's nice to leave no default selected while setting up a new launcher.
thanks! this helped.
Or you can down load home switcher free from the market to pick what launcher to use.

I use Home Switcher, free from the marketplace, and it'll allow you to switch between any launchers you might have on your phone.

[Q] hide or disable 3 dot menu

I really hate the menu that pops up in apps such as facebook taking up space, ive tried hide bar but it also hides the status bar as well. is there anyway to hide or disable this.
also any suggestions on a button remapper that i can use to hold the back button to pull up menu, if not ill just use gmd gesture control(it just causes issue though)
Install a ROM that allows you to hold back for menu like viper, this will remove the menu pop up

Adding on to this... In the display settings of the rom there should be the option to enable long press as it isn't on by default.

Home key actions?

Hey all-
Long time lurker, first time poster. I notice when I'm on my main homescreen and I then tap Home, I get a lil popup that says "App isn't installed." Anybody know what this is all about? Can the Home key be configured to do something else? I had my old Droid 4 set to open Browser when double-tapping Home, that was sweet.
I'm running 4.4, but the same thing happened on 4.2.2. Using Nova Launcher.

In RAZR we could configure the double tap home launch app through
*Settings->Accessibility->Double tap home launch (last option)*
Hope it's the same with X.

Doesn't appear as though that option carried over from the D4/RAZR. Still have no idea what's going on with this "App isn't installed" message when I tap Home (when already on the primary Home screen)...

Multi window shortcut?

I rooted my phone and am wondering if there is a way to create a shortcut on my home page to launch the two apps quickly. I couldn't find anything online.

Use 2 fingers to drag from the top of the screen and you can see the multi window on/off

I think the OP means launching 2 apps at the same time, not the quick toggle. There's nothing out there that I know of for that.
You can do it with an app that supports shortcuts (i.e. Nova Launcher, Tasker, GMD Gesture Control, etc).
Thanks. I use Nova launcher, so I will see if I get it to work.

For some reason I don't see the option for windowed shortcut for 1 or 2 apps.
It just doesn't exist.
