Hello, I can't find anywhere how to remap long press on Home button to open Google Now insted of Recent apps. I have successfully changed Menu button to act as Recent app and its much quicker, but for remaping long press Home button I cant find info.
Is there anyone who know this trick?
Thanks
install a new launcher like nova

[Q] How to remap long press button & vol up&down buttons: any app or manual mod?
Hi!
I have a Galaxy S and searching for mapping the long press button so to launch a custom app, and the vol up & down so to manage next or perv song in player.
For the first one I have found a home & search button switcher. It is called HomeSmack and its free on the Market. It allows to change the default launcher invoked with the home button (like the famous app Home Switcher for Froyo), but it also attempts to remap the long press that is bind to the recent pop-up.
This last feature would work if I could Clear Defaults to the Android app that invokes the recent pop-up. I realized this because is written in the tutorial of a task switcher called TapIt that I was trying to use. It says that without clearing those defaults it is not able to bind a new app to the long press.
Is there a way to clear those defaults? What android app is involved?
Otherwise how is it possible to remap the long press with another app?
About the vol up & down, I wouldt like to remap them ONLY in a song player, and have back the vol control in regular phone use. Is it possible?
Otherwise is there a third party player that has this functionality?
Thank you.
Hi guys,
I have a faulty home button that randomly triggers recent apps dialog (by long pressing of home button) even if iam not pressing the home button. Its not rom related i tried it. So I want to change the behaviour of phone when long pressing of home button to do nothing on this long press. This feature was possible in CM 10, where you can change the behaviour of hardware buttons. So i want to change the behavior of long press home button to do nothing. I have a rooted pnone of course and 2.3.6. Based rom by nkvi71 (see signature). Is it possible somehow? Thanks for your tips.
Btw i cant change it thru any launcher. For example if I change this in Holo launcher to do nothing on long press of home button, the Rom ignores this settings. And i cant use nova launcher because i have a gingerbread rom. Is there a fix for it?

Thanks for your tip i tried this rom based on CM7.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2234221 but no luck. In CyanogenMod settings i click on input - 3rd choice) and then I click on 'long press of home button' and then I untick 'Show recent apps' but no luck they still appear on long press of home button even if it is disabled also on holo launcher. Do you know any specifuc cm7 rom that offers explicitly to do nothing on long press of home button? Or am I doing something wrong??
Miss having the menu key..example go to xda app and cannot pull up other options because of this ridficulous hardkey when alternatives exist for task switching. This will need remapping..have seen it done for camera and power but wondered if there is any interest in this. I do I not have a solution but am asking. Thanks.
All you have to do is long press that button and becomes menu

Good work, but long press is menu, I use it all the time.

I used xposed additions module to remap it. Also mapped the volume keys, home and power buttons to change music, play/pause and activate torch respectively while I was at it.
I just recently flashed the CM13 and I found out the recent apps has to be accessed using the home button! I prefer the original lollipop button layout so I went searching around and found the 'Button' option in the settings and I was able to customise the home button, power button and the volume rocker but there was no option to customise the menu key to use it to access the recent apps!
I searched the settings for Menu and it showed up there but when I tap it, it goes back to the 'Button' options but it doesn't appear anywhere in there.
What do I do?
Same here, its frustrating. Do you have solved your problem?
Title says it all, i'm on stock. In the Buttons screen there are options to change long and double press of each hardware button, but not single press. I can change single press action of the home button with nova launcher, i'd like to change single press action of the left capacitive button so it acts as a regular menu button.
Try flar2's Button Mapper app.
All I want is long press on back-hardware key to kill the current app which we can usually find in developer settings. Is it a Nugent thing or stock OOS disable this feature?
I'm coming from a galaxy s3 running CM from about 4 years ago and even then it had simple things like this, i could hold back to kill and also use volume controls to skip track when screen is off, etc. Can't do any of that on this new phone, really frustrating. To remap back and recent apps button using that app you need to upgrade to the pro version
