Fast Home Long Press App? - General Questions and Answers

Is there any app that allows you to open the Home Long Press via a single tap on the home button? (i.e. not a long press)

Why would you want that?? then you'd have to long press home to goto your homescreen and that would be annoying this kind of app would also require root to
(i think)

Because I want it.
And who said a long press was the only method of getting back home?
And yes, I'm rooted and running CM6.

I guess nothing like this exists?

I use a program called MoreRecent, which shows the last 15 opened apps, it's accessed with a long press on search, or you can place a shortcut to it on the home screen.
Not exactly what you want, but maybe helpful for you.
I can't post links, so search here on XDA for MoreRecent

Yep, I've seen that. If you check out the MoreRecent thread, you'll notice I've posted many times in that thread. It was actually my idea
But anyway, looking for a way to specifically do this with tapping the home button a single time.

If you have programming experience (or know someone who has) you could write a very simple home replacement app that would for a single tap launch whatever program you want, then on a double tap, launch your home screen, a bit like the app Quickdesk. That way you'll be able to intercept a single tap on the home button and still use the launcher of your choice with double tap.

Home Long Press

Is there any app that makes the pop-up selection 9-12 programs? (OR a Home Long Press look-alike replacement)
If not, would changing this require modifying the Android source code? Or would an app be able to change this functionality? (Not sure if it's locked down etc)
I'm checking the code now...useful to have.
+1 for this. I've been starting to use it while im on the browser and i get a text, pretty useful
I believe a few people like Wysie were talking about this on twitter, not sure what ever came of it though.
This is the code that needs to be updated.
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pl...nal/policy/impl/RecentApplicationsDialog.java
CM's git: http://github.com/cyanogen/android_frameworks_policies_base
Code:
ActivityManager.RecentTaskInfo
Information you can retrieve about tasks that the user has most recently started or visited.
I see this in the log:
Code:
D/StatusBar( 137): DISABLE_EXPAND: yes
Attempting to make the changes in the .smali assembly code...

Can you give any more details?
Double check if that's the correct name? Or tell me who else was involved?

So it's definitely not something that is possible through an app then, correct?
Yes it should be, in fact the code to do this is in reloadButtons() in that file.
Someone can change launcher to direct the home button longpress at a custom handler to display 12 tasks.
I've got stuck with trying to make an assembly fix.
The 6 recent tasks are assigned to 6 hardcoded placeholders on the recent_apps_dialog window. That xml layout will need to be re-compiled and the new placeholder IDs need to be added in at line 720.
info:
jar: android.policy.jar
file: \com\android\internal\policy\impl\RecentApplicationsDialog.smali
lines: 12,14,4,646-720
I would really like to see this happen as well!
This would be a fantastic addition!

In my many many searches (I've been wanting an app like this for 6+ months haha) I read somewhere that the Home Long Press is protected and can't be overwritten by a standard Android app. Is this true?

Is a thread for that home long press? I'm wondering what the point of selecting inside that menu accomplishes. Basically making people double click to select the app.

its for effect, and also with 15 loaded up and sifting through, 'could' make things easier for navigation, without the need for the use of the trackball.

Switching directly between apps is much faster using home long press than pressing home, opening the launcher, and finding the app repeatedly.

Sorry I'm not contributing to the thread, but I never really noticed how useful this feature was until now. Having 15 or more so apps would be nice, but I'm on a Desire ROM also..

I must have girlie fingers then, lol. Hope it can be optional down the line, my initial thought was that you would be able to pull options for the app after selecting it and then hitting the menu button. Maybe like a quick task manager too force kill running apps.
That first line was supposed to say "is there a thread for the mod"

i think he meant of the addition of select then launch. my original statement on it still holds true. i personally dont like to use trackball through 15 apps highlighting each one, especially if there is one with more then word of line text and i want to see what it says.
maybe this will get configurable in settings along with the number of recent apps (which is on the todo list). we'll see...

after i flashed this my phone wont auto rotate anymore i dont know if thats a known issue or not but its nice like the idea

remap rosie buttons

in zens slide port, the normal shortcut add button leads to faves. is it possible to do something like that? i like how the app drawer is in the middle, just makes more "sense"(get it?)
tia!
ADDON:
(my ideal setup)
honestly, id like to JUST have an app drawer. we have a hardware phone button that works in taking you to the dialer in any app your in, long press has made the add button obsolete, but ovbiously the app drawer is still needed by default.
i know i know, go to launcher, but i like sense :-D
i know how to use metamorph, so i COULD make buttons transparent, but to switch around the actions...i think will take more dev'ing than im capable of. unless someone has a hardcore article i could read on remapping.

Ive been thinking about that ever since he fixed it. Ive even tried porting that setup over to damage but some of framework is different, and im not really all that good with this stuff....Itd be nice setup though, i like app drawer in the middle too.

Eh, I'd still really like to have the phone button, my green call button sticks some times and acts weird, not to mention I hardly ever use the hard buttons except for ending a phone call or closing an app. I guess its just a habit I have developed.

ok im taking my girl to see kickass right now, and ive promised my torrent community a decent cam over the one floating around right now; in the meantime...reckon you could find anything you can on remapping? ill gladly get this project started up and probably finish it if since it seems like we're the only ones who seem to want it LOL
You guys kill me. Just saw this thread, as I happen to read miscellaneous posts while eating lunch .
I've never really looked at the feasibility of re-mapping buttons for such a purpose. Given that I personally don't have a similar want/need, not sure how much "effort" I'll put into, but I'll take a peek and see what, if anything, can be done.
Personally i love the sense widgets, but hate the bottom buttons, so i use stock home. If theres also a way to change the 7 screens to 5 or 3, that would be awesome. My ideal interface is somewhere between aosp and sense.
I've actually thought about this too and think it would be really neat. App drawer in the middle, phone on the side and replace the "Add to Home" button with something more useful. I never posted anything because I didn't know if it was possible but if it is then I'd love this!

Maybe replace the Add to Home button to Settings or Internet, personally i wouldn't mind figuring out how to change them and switch the phone button to app drawer and add to home to setting and change app drawers current button to internet, then my home screen would be clear.
We've had this convoy before, though slightly different....my preferred setup would be simply replacing the "+" button's add function with a second tray containing shortcuts to your contacts.....pretty much like the people widget, but in a drawer instead of taking up one of my pages. I like having the phone button in the middle, but if some can figure out how to remap the buttons, I wouldn't mind looking in to customizing the layout and functions. Right now, I'm not even sure where to start, lol!
anything different for the "add" button would be great! never understood the need since you can just as easily long press to add
Remapping existing functions is rather easy. Trying to add a new function to a button that does something completely different, though not impossible, would take a lot more work.
Here's a quick "proof of concept" video:
http://screencast.com/t/NDdkNDBmY
I've basically just remapped the application draw and phone launcher buttons to switch. I don't show the left icon press, but it pulls up the phone. Didn't show it in the video, as I don't want to reveal any phone numbers.
There are some bugs to iron out, but if you were to eliminate the left and right buttons all together, it would be good to go now. Currently, and I just started looking at this, if you press the right button, a variable is not getting reset, and then if you press the middle button, it will take you to the shortcuts rather than the app drawer again. But, as soon as you click the 'phone' button, now mapped to the left button, the app drawer in the middle begins working again...

Just giving you crap dude, I'd love to see this happen
i havent completely decided as to how the first set up will be; theres alot of good ideas posted, but we're stuck until i get a starting point. ill probably start out by making my ideal rosie, and share the rescurces and steps to do it.
theory; obviously, the ideal place to start would be in Rosie.apk. perhaps an xml file of some sort? any other ideas?

[REQUEST] hardware keys remaper

i search forthis long time so let me know if there are some application that allows what i want. I know it can be only for root users.
I have an idea to application that allow user change function hardware keys.My idea is change search button to bring up app switcher.Be couse i really never used that button. I know many situation when we hold "HOME" to bring it up but it take me back to home+show preview screens +bring up app switcher (i know previews can be turned off by launcher but i want previews, they are cool).You dont need hold anything.It will be much faster switching betwean applications.
So you push HOME to back to home or bring up previews
and push SEARCH button to bring application switcher.
it is good idea?
sorry for bad english.

a key-switcher app would be great

Any Inspire owners able to multi-select and delete in the new Google Play app?

I've installed the new Google Play app that has "installed" and "all" lists under My Apps, and the ability to delete apps from the "all" list. However, I keep hearing about others being able to multi-select by long pressing an item and then selecting other items, and deleting more than one app at a time. I'm not able to do this no matter what I try. Has anyone else got it to work on an Inspire?

I didn't know that was possible, but I can't either. When I have an app selected and try to long-press a second app, both get deselected.
After the first one has been selected (long pressed), tap on the rest.

That's what I've been doing. If I long press an item and then let up, it just opens that item to show it to me. I tried long pressing in the middle of the item, long pressing on just the delete symbol for the item, nothing works. Long pressing on the delete symbol just asks me if I want to delete that item.

OK, I laughed. I'll keep trying, but it just doesn't seem to be working for me. If I ever "get lucky" with this one, I'll report back.
more info and questions!
I've been reading some reviews of the new version and my screen looks slightly different from the ones in the reviews. At the top of the review photos, in the "all" app listing screen, I see not only a search icon (the magnifying glass) but just to its right, three small squares on top of each other. In some apps this is associated with switching from "single select" to "multiple select".
In other screens, in particular one where several items have already been highlighted (selected), there is a delete icon (the circle with a line through it) by itself at the upper right where the search and the "multiple select" icons were before.
From the screen shots it certainly looks like you select the "multiple select" icon, which then changes to a "delete" icon, and you select the items you wish to batch delete, finishing the deletion by pressing the "delete" icon at the upper right of the screen.
No one and none of the reviews have actually mentioned having to press a "multiple select" icon before being able to do a batch deletion.

I'm going to try backing up my ROM, running the no-sense script to remove Sense, and seeing if the new version works then. Once I've used the batch uninstall I'll reflash the ROM and presumably all will be well.

Question How to open/close notification centre with double tap home button in navigation bar customisation? Like in oxygen os.

This may be a small issue for you guys but I moved from OnePlus 6 and its killing me just because I can't do this customisation of dragging the notification bar down by double tapping the home button. I have small hands compared to the tall display of the rog 5 and I'm unable to reach the notification bar all the way up. MKBHD said this is the most ridiculous custom phone but where's my small custom. How do I place a request for this to asus? I'm helpless.
you can use swipe down in home screen for notification panel. similar to one plus.
is the double tab home button for the not center while in apps or in the home screen?
Man, some people like to complain instead of trying to learn how to use their phone. If you don't like the phone don't come and complain about it, simply sell it and move on instead of wasting others time.

i am not sure that i agree with you on this, xda forums and other communications platform were built to help people
yes the quuestion was fairly simple, however anyone has the right to ask.
also i think ROG 5 xda forums needs a mod who should create FAQs, restructure the forums, and moderate it.
if we continue like this it is going to be a mess, and hard to get something useful out of it

I'm with @m8822 on this one. This is the developer community; we defined #NeverSettle ages before OnePlus made a complete mess of that understanding. We're not here to accept what manufacturers force upon us. We don't need to learn how to use our phone, our phone needs to learn how to use us! No wait, that came out wrong. Anyway, you get the point
@Madridistas It's been a while since I've used any navigation replacements but you could give our in-house Navigation Gestures a go. I'm not sure if it provides double tap to notifications but may open another door to your goal. Only, ROG 5 is Android 11, isn't it? That probably won't work. Ah well, there's plenty others to try, like Gesture Control or Edge Gestures (or search for more). Whichever you find best, don't forget to get back here and tell us what you found working so it may help others in the future.
The forum mess is by design. Change is never easy... but it can be fun!

Wow, I am with @me on this. Everyone seems to not get the point that I was making, you have the very right to come here @xda, ask whatever questions you feel is needed to be answered, after atleast doing your part(share) of understanding the thing you have.
It's like "someone asking where are my eye glasses, when they are over his head because he forgot he put them over there at the first place and then asking everyone passing if they saw them".
The point is: "GET TO THE POINT", no need to complain about something not related to the question, at the same time do your share of investigating something.
If you look @my account, you will know I am not a newbie, I have asked and answered, created many threads helping others!. So please spare me the... "I, we have the right speech...."
Thanks for your time, and sorry for the irrelevant comment!
Edit: I might seem harsh with my response, but I don't know why when I read the post the first time it seemed like the author was complaining, so I am not sure if he edited the post, or it was my bad coming the way I did. Anyway I apologize if i did, no offense intended.

Yeah, your comment seems quite harsh up until the edit. Ah well
You may have missed the (attempt to a) humorous tone in my message. Text, huh.
We surely don't need to snap at each other. I'm not having that kind of discussion.

This may be a small issue for you guys but I moved from OnePlus 6 and its killing me just because I can't do this customisation of dragging the notification bar down by double tapping the home button. I have small hands compared to the tall display of the rog 5 and I'm unable to reach the notification bar all the way up. MKBHD said this is the most ridiculous custom phone but where's my small custom. How do I place a request for this to asus? I'm helpless.

This may not be a perfect solution but... if you dont mind using a home launcher, Nova launcher has customizable gestures. You can set "double tap the home screen (not button)" to expand notifications. im coming from a 6t also and currently using Nova with the "swipe down" option to expand notifications and double tap to lock the screen.
edit: There is also an option to single tap the home button to expand the notifications while on home screen. so if you are inside an app, say google chrome, you would essentially double tap to open notifications.
1 tap takes you home.
2 taps opens notifications.
Here's how to add Android 11's double-tap gesture to any phone
An app called "Tap, Tap" adapts the shelved Android 11 double-tap gesture for use with almost any modern device running Nougat 7.0 and above.

I can do the swipe down at home in any phone but I can't do it inside an app like WhatsApp or chrome. You know how far the top is to reach with the thumb in ROG phone. I'm attaching the settings screenshot from OnePlus.

Thank you, that's very helpful but I wish I could have this same feature in the stock rom let me try nova and get back here.
