Upgraded firmware to 5.0 but now holding down the home button just opens a google search. How can I get it back to how it was originally and have it open recent apps?

Thing is, that this is normal in LP, because google changed things in lollipop, i don't know for solutions or that there is some .
Reading on internet,i found that lollipop shuts down not working apps automaticly, so there is no need for an app manager

Looks like I just have to hold down the button on the right and that does it but how can I disable home button hold down? Why do they think I'm so desperate for a search I need a dedicated button for it?

As above, is it possible to do that in HTC Dream? Mine is rooted and flashed to 4.2.3.
What I mean is that, when I am using this application (ABC), then I want to open another application (XYZ). After using XYZ, can I swtich to ABC with the state still being there? Meaning it will not open like a new application, but go directly to the screen that I was previously at?
Hold the home button to see running tasks.. then pick one.

it will only go back if the phone has enough ram to keep it stored, else android will kill the process
goldenarmZ, if i'm not wrong when holding down the 'Home' button, is actually opening up recent opened applications.
B-man007, means there is no way to switch around tasks?

If they're still in memory, it will switch back to the same instance you were using, if not it'll launch a new one.
How to make one application stay in memory?
Advanced Task Manager can stop processes from getting killed.. It's in the market.
Yeah, I have that application too but how you make it not being killed?
Is there a faster way? Holding home just seems like it takes forever.

holding home takes literally 2 seconds for your apps to pop up. that doesn't seem like forever to me, lol

exactly its faster than alt-tab
I tried doing a search but I honestly don't know what to enter--tried button layout, android controls, etc--no dice.
On the Touch, it used to be that if you held the camera button down, it took you straight to home. That does not seem to be the case anymore. Can anyone tell me if the Touch has a way to do that now--and if not, how in the world are you getting out of the browser without losing all of your progress? Task Switcher doesn't seem to allow me to choose my home screen, and if I switch to something else and then exit out of that, my browser is waiting for me, like the sneaky bastard it is.

if you aare using an nbh that has the task switcher built into it, then you need to only hold the camera button for a second for home.
tap - back
hold for a sec - home
long hold - task switcher
Awesome! It's going to take some getting used to, but this is a huge help.
Now if I could only figure out how to install themes...

go to how to install an update
I used titanium backup to uninstall my Google Search app to update to the new one in the market. But now when I press the search button while on my home screen nothing happens. If I long press it will open voice search and it still works in the browser but when I try to use it to search for something nothing happens? Know how I can get it back?
It's been covered in detail how to fix this. Search for the threads.

I have searched but couldn't find it which is why I'm posting here...
I don't know what fix RogerPodacter is referring to, but I've noticed a similar bug on my phone. If I hit the search button while on the home screen nothing happens, but if I hit the home button (even when already on the home screen) then hit the search button it works. Weird...

3-UP I believe is the latest.
Okay, so I want to be able to do a couple of things. The first is nagging me, as I'm sure there's a way to do it, the second I'm not so sure about.
1) I want to be able to access the multi-tasking/Recent Apps list from anywhere. My idea is to push and hold Menu to get it to pop up, since Home uses Google Now when it's pushed and held. I know there was a way to do that with the search key back when we had 4 keys using LaunchKey, but I can't find anything to let me assign push/hold functionality to Menu. I'm rooted, so I'm sure there's a way to do this...
2) This I'm not so sure of. Because of the charging port being on the side of the phone, it works best in my car when it's held in a landscape orientation in my windshield-mounted dock. This is great for everything except one thing: the dialer. I know in most AOSP custom ROMs I've used on other phones, the dialer rotates with the phone. Since I've rarely stuck to stock on a phone before, and we're kind of forced to here, is there a way to get the dialer to rotate?

Double tap the home key brings up the recent apps.

1. What jonslice says.
2. Download another dialer in the play store.
Holy crap. I feel so stupid now. How did I not know that? LOL
And yeah, downloaded another dialer. Forgot I could do that (since I've never really done it before). Thanks guys!
Hey folks, I had reddit on my remapable button for Bixby for single press and double press is Bixby, but something happened yesterday out of the blue and it is not working anymore and it launches Bixby on single press and its frozen. Tried to re do the whole process nothing got fixed, restarted the phone, nothing, I do not have any new software, I sont use games I dont use almost anything except Google stuff like calendar and keep, some things like viber, Skype, WhatsApp, a bibble, or scanner and reddit... so the idea is I should not have anything to break my phone in my eyes, but I just also remembered there were Samsung updates yesterday in the Samsung store, for the apps and Bixby was one of them, has any one had similar issues, and do you know a fix?
Nobody?
I got the update for Bixby & related applications. At first, the single click of bixby button did launch the bixby assistant. Then I went to settings & disabled>enabled it & it worked good again.

If you totally remove bixby can you still remap the button?
For example I disabled bixby using package disabler pro and seem to be having issues remapping...
Yes, I use bxActions for that.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-bxactions-remap-bixby-button-single-t3832301
For me it works great. Action Shortpress is Display off and lang press Google Assistant.
After updating, I had to go through the Bixby setup the first time I hit the button but after that I'm back to normal on a single press.
