AppSwipe, TaskOS

Thanks I will try them out. But I think I just found what I wanted was already built in win the home button long press.

Both AppSwipe and TaskOS can be launched by holding the search button, also the home button doesnt show running apps just rescent

Hi!
Is there a "Recent Programs" widget so that they are always visible on the HomeScreen?

Make Google instant search shortcut

So I looove the Google widget but I want my search button to go to that. Also I want the browser search button to pull up Google search not the HTC search. I am using ClearDroid 1.5.

[Q] How can I change soft button functions?

Hi guys,
I'm currently running KelLMSKing MIUI Mod 2.8.1, but this question might apply to just about any ROM.
One thing bugging me about this ROM is that when I hit the search button, it opens up some MIUI search tool that I find kind of annoying. I would much rather have the search button open up the Google Search app. Is there any app, or any way that I can reassign the function of the search button to open up a different app?

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately this won't allow me to assign an app to the search key, only the defined functions in the app
Any other suggestions?

if you read the info about the app, i believe it explains how to add your own functions via adb.

Remapping soft keys

I know that button remapper is good for the skyrocket softkey function editing, but I would like to change the search key to open an app, and also rebind a long press function.. any suggestions?

I am quite content with my GB NexusMod, however I cannot find a place in the settings to remap default apps. Isn't that standard with all roms? I tried button saviour pro and it is a piece of trash. I merely want to press the search key when on my home page and have the DuckDuckGo app pop up, just like the Google Search app did before I uninstalled it. Any suggestions?

Google Now home button

Is there a way to be able to set Google Now to open on a long press of the home button? When I do it, it gives me the option to hit the Google Now link but can't I set it like s voice was before? Thanks!

It should auto open if you long press the menu button.

You can do this under CM 10. I am not sure if you are rooted and interested in using that ROM though.

Download an app from the Play Store called Home2 Shortcut. This will allow you to change the double click of the home button to use Google Now, or any other application that you want instead of S Voice.
I do that with my un-rooted Galaxy S3 i535. It's fantastic, just beware because Google Now doesn't play nice with your bluetooth headset is all.

I use Nova Launcher. I set it up to swipe any blank space on my phone to open Google Now. Its quick and simple.

I do the same with apex launcher. Works great, and is quicker than double tapping the home button.
