Hey everyone,
I was wondering if there was a way to enable double click home to google now.
I know I can set it to long press menu to google now but it would be nice to just double click the home button.
Thanks for the help!
Settings - system - hardware keys - enable custom action - set long press home button to search assistant. Then I set long press menu key to the recent apps tasker cuz it was previously empty. This gives long press home key to Google Now and menu long press to tasker. It may be the closest thing you'll find.

To disable S Voice via the home button, double click the home button and activate S Voice. Hit Menu > Settings > untick activation by double pressing home:
Now your home button actioon should be noticeably quicker:

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.
FlashlightAccessibilityService
I provide here this basic app to toggle flashlight from vol up + vol down and/or power + vol up.
It uses a new feature introduced with Android 12 to toggle accessibility services from these key combos.
How to use:
Install the app.
Go to Settings app, then Accessibility, and Advanced settings.
Select your key combo, then go down and select Activate flashlight.
Enjoy!
Requirements:
Since it is an Android 12 exclusive feature, this will only work on One UI 4.
To get a proper cohesion between this app and the quick setting flashlight tile.
You should consider, but it is not mandatory, to give WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission to this app.
Here it is only used to read secure settings but we need the permission as well.
To do that, two choices:
Using ADB :adb shell pm grant com.android.flashlightaccessibilityservice android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGSUsing terminal app (as Termux) :pm grant com.android.flashlightaccessibilityservice android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Changelog:
v1: Initial release
v1.1 : Drastic size reduction (removed unneeded dependencies + build optimisation)
v1.2 : Proper handling between the key combination and the quick setting torch tile
Love it mate. I used Key Mapper before to remap volume up long press to flashlight but this breaks holding vol up to raise volume and I had to tap it to raise volume. This works quite a lot better.
Shame it still doesn't work screen off tho but I guess that's impossible without root and I wanna keep my Knox + bootloader lock intact due to some software from work needing it.

Thanks!
Same here I leave Key Mapper since it doesn't recognize power button. Thanks Google for this accessibility feature.
Yep as well shame for screen on only. This is not in my hands btw.
In android 12 this can be done without any additional applications. It is enough to enter advanced functions, side key, double-press, open applications, select a flashlight

That worked in 11 as well but me at least wants to keep camera on double press side key. How else should we open the camera quickly lol.

For sure
But this way you can use anything else with double press
I'm with @Sdaro on this. I double tap my power key to turn the flashlight on/off. No external apps needed. Did it on Android 11 and still with 12.
Settings -> Advanced Features -> Side Key -> Turn on Double Press, select Open app then choose an app.

Again no doubt about that.
But this way you can use flashlight and a second quick launch like camera. Even a third one with the other accessibility key combo.
Thanks for sharing.
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
