Home key remap

I was wondering if anyone has tried to remap the home button via the /system/usr/keylayout/ *.kl alteration method. Could be why home takes to only Amazon launcher.
Just a thought, to further launcher access. I did this on this phone to get rid of the sms button cause I use go sms, and the button launches stock messenging app only

I canned the stock softkeys. Using button savior pro now.

I too use button savior pro on all of my devices, I like it for the cam and volume and menu buttons on 4.0+ devices. But was wondering about the stock button bar if anyone has tried this method to bypass amazon's lockdown of the device.

Now on tap with pie controls

I'm using lmt launcher(pie) for navigation controls. And was trying to access now on tap. I've assigned a long press home action through lmt but it just returns home . any solutions or alternative other than restoring nav bar?

Bump. Same issue here.
Have you tried to browse through the LMT thread, to see if someone has figured out a way to accomplish it?

Thanks for the tip. From that thread, key 219 on the Beta2 of 2.5 works for Google Now on Tap. I was also able to remove/hide the nav bar by using the pro version of the app GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys.

Disable Nav Bar but Keep Hard Press

I am using Pie Controls on the Note8, and have disabled the Navbar using the disable Navbar apk from this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...yers-themes-notifications-note8-t3678166/page). Unfortunately, that also disables the ability to hard press the home button. Is there any way that I can retain the hard press home functionality while still stopping the nav bar from appearing whenever I swipe up from the bottom of the screen?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. What I want is the ability to hard press the home button again in order to press home, not just to do what it did before (which was just go home anyway). I was wondering if there was a way to, for example, make the navbar zero size or permanently hidden without disabling it, since it seems like it is the navbar itself that actually listens for the hard press.
Came here looking for the same thing. If you make the bottom bar activation area for pie larger than the nav bar it picks it up, so maybe a transparent 1px nav bar with no buttons would do the trick. That way technically it would still be present (allowing for the home hardpress) but still invoke the pie. I'm just researching this today so maybe someone has already come up with a solution and I haven't stumbled on it yet. Did you end up doing anything different?

Looking for hard press when the nav-bar is completely disabled, not just when it's hidden. The issue is that the the hard press functionality seems to be tied to the nav bar software, so if the nav bar process isn't running on the device the hard press isn't processed.

what's the reason for disabling, why not just hide the nav bar

Because if you just hide the nav bar by double tapping the little circle, then if you try to use pie controls on the bottom edge of your screen swiping up unhides the nav bar instead of bringing up pie controls, essentially making pie controls take more work to use than the nav bar when the point is that it's supposed to be faster and more comfortable.

Yes, that's similar to what I'm doing right now. I have a full navbar of back,home,and recent on each side of the screen (I also have the bixby button remapped to back,recents, and home. I've definitely gone overboard on this, but oh well) but I'd like to also replace the bottom nav-bar with pie controls without losing hard-press home functionality.
I ended up using the same apk listed above, I still have the 'hard home press' on the AOD, which is pretty much the only place I used it reliable. On to full time PIE baby!

P20 pro navigation button

Is it possible to change gestures when you using navigation button? For example swipe left for go back instead of recent apps, hold button for recent apps instead of go home and tap button to go home instead of go back?
Unfortunately not.

Slider appears on pressing and sliding on home button

Hi,
I just noticed that if normal navigation buttons are used a slider will appear if you press home button and slide to the right side much like the same way the slider of the Google pixel 3 in which we can scroll through open apps but the problem is this slider does nothing
Sent from my S10 using Tapatalk
Hi, in short - you are wrong... Yes, the slider appears when you slide your finger over the home button, but it does scroll through recent apps. There is another function also, you can slide your finger from the home button to the back button - it works like a double-tap on the recents button, try it.
Actually I was using task changer in good lock so I have different recent apps layout and it wasn't working there that's why I thought it was broken. Thanks for clarification.
