on the Droid you just hold the home button.
on the captivate doing that just brings up my Launcher Pro screen. ( choose between launcher pro or twSamsung )
I know I could just make LP default but I don't want to yet.....
I just cleared my default launcher app (so it brings up the dialogue on which launcher to use when you press home), held down the home button and it still brought up the recent apps screen.
Same here launcher pulls most recent when holding home button. "thanks i didnt know about holding the button "
There's a setting in LauncherPro to set the home screen behavior on long press, double press, etc.
TouchWiz also has this as well. I discovered it from a previos thread, just hold it for an extra second or two and it gives you the last 6 apps you opened.
I have used this app before. . And its a wonderfull addon to the ui... But wen u double press the home button, you get the voice talk... And there is no search button for the galaxy note.. Has anyone successfully made it to run on the galaxy note..? If so how
Just downloaded this app, quite useful. WRT your question, I went into the voice app when you double tap the home button, then settings and disabled the option to launch when double tap home key. Now on one press of the home button brings up the power strip and then a second press takes me to my home screen.
Hope that helps

Thanx.. I didnt know that you could disable the double tap to open voice app.. I installed it and set it.. Wen i tap it once it opens the powerstrip and i have to tap again to go to the home screen.. Isnt their any setting on it so as to double tap to directly go to home without waiting for powerstrip to appear on your first click??
I've been a Power Strip user for quite a long time but then I switched to Wave Launcher. Does the same job but activating it is less troublesome for me (swipe up from the very bottom of the screen). Plus it looks better in my opinion.
search? press and hold the left soft button.

How do u set it up to use powerstrip?? Did u mean to long press the menu button?? I cant make it to work... How did u set it up?
Yup, long press (well, not that much, it appear really quickly). Btw I use launcher pro, but I don't think it's a feature of it (I mean, will probably do the same whit touchwizz or else).
Google Now Launching When Pressing Home Button Once.
Just update the Google app to version 7.0.13.21 .arm64
The update also disabled the double tap home button to quick launch the camera app.
Tried to use All in one Gestures app to modify the home key but still double tap home button didnt launch the camera even if the setting is activated.
Any advice?
Regards
[Solved]
By installing the Google beta version 7.1.25.16 .arm, clearing some memory and rebooting my phone. This seems to solved the problem I had with home key tap actions. Now the Google Launches by long pressing the home button, one press brings home screen and double press quick launches the camera.
Is there any way to turn off the screen (lock the device) without the need to press the right power button?
for example, with OPO you could long press the home button and the device got locked.
thanks!
you can use Custom Navigation bar and add a power button to either side of the nav bar

If you run Nova launcher, you can go to Nova settings, gesture & input and select screen lock for your desired gesture.
actually i just downloaded this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simi.screenlock
and its working
If you use the edge panel, use softkey edge. It has a screen lock button.

i think theres a lock option in the assistant menu,furthermore you can use the bxactions app with nova launcher and remap actions to lock the screen.
Cant seem to find the setting anymore to press and hold the home button for the assistant.
Now I need to do that with the power button. Not sure if it was removed or changed, but I cant find it.
Any help?
Thanks

It's on by default on mine. Settings > System > Gestures > Press and hold power button.
Sorry I meant to say that I liked being able to press and hold the home button, but it seems this feature was removed?
Seeing how there is no home button anymore and Google is only focused on supporting gesture navigation, that sounds about right.

It's right there in System>gestures>System navigation>Gear icon next to 3 button navigation> Toggle hold home for assistant.
Thank you! I thought it was gone because the setting didnt transfer and couldnt find it.
I am not a fan of the gesture navigation
