Hey, I've noticed that my home button changes its function on its own. I used to have it set up to open the camera, but now it's back to using the voice command feature. This is my second attic - but it happened on both.
Has this happened to anyone else?

Go to Settings-
Applications-
Double Tap Home Launch Then chose what you want to work as double tap.
Thanks. I know how to change it. What the problem is though, is that after I set it (to the camera for example), it would change back to the default voice command randomly. No recent application installs either

I'm running Gingeritis VIII. When I click on the button (right of the phone button @ the bottom of the screen), it comes up with the web. For some reason, it's not prompting me to change the function or setting of that button. I've reloaded the OS again, and still the same thing. Am I missing something? Can someone tell me how to change the function when I launch the icon?
Thanks in advance.
Update...Figured it out...It's in the Rosie settings.
I did wonder about this for a while till I found it.
I do wish you could set it back to the personalize window though :\ so instead, I just had to set it to system settings.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone knew a secret as to changing the double tap function of the home button? It starts the voice activation program but I want it to open the inbuilt task switcher (yes I know you press and hold the home button to do this, but it takes slightly too long).
Noone?
Anyone?
No takers?

I'd also like to know.
I want to solve it too
From what I could remember, there is an app called QuickDesk which creates another layer for your widgets and shortcuts. Believe it also has an option to display the running apps.
Since Samsung has registered the double click home button shortcut, not sure if you could overwrite it with this app.
Quick Desk Pro

Quick Desk Beta - not sure what's the difference

Come one guys. A lot of us need to change that function. The voice program is no use to me.
It won't be possible to change it , unless you guys ask Cyanmod to implement it at root level.
I am sure they might be able to change the way how the hardware buttons react to certain softwares
CyanogenMod nightlies don't have voice control set on double press, so you can use the above mentioned third party apps.
Bump! I'd also like to know this tip if possible

It doesn't work for me. Does anyone have another trick?
Uninstalling voice command could be a solution?
Or this will cause some troubles with google voice to?
Thx!

That's the solution! Thank you sir.
disabling the double tap doesnt work. 2.3.6 stock firmware.
If you are rooted and have jkay Deluxe Settings app it can be disabled there.

i needed this today so i found this,
http://www.appbrain.com/app/advanced-home-button/com.crazyricky.advhomebutton
it is working perfectly for my galaxy s3, i can double tap the home button and open any app I want.
Good: Double tap any blank area of any home screen
Better: Double tap status bar
Best IMO: Download and install LMT launcher from here to setup PIE controls. If you find the LMT settings intimidating watch this video. It'll walk you through setup. Go to settings>Set gesture input and choose #2. Under the PIE tab select your pie piece and then under advanced command options choose KEY and put the number 26. Now when you access your PIE shortcut labeled "KEY" it'll turn off the display.
Thanks to members trh1341 and _Sofos_ for helping me figure this out.
These are good tips guys. While I knew all of this. It's good someone got the word out a lot of people don't know!

Method #4: Lock/turn off your screen by tapping the Lock Screen App icon from your home screen, app drawer, or recent apps : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kennethcheng.com.lockscreen.free
I used this on all my phones before I got my G2 and it worked flawlessly.
Does the LMT Launcher allow you to hide the stock soft keys?

You can also just wait anywhere from 30 seconds to 15 minutes and it will go off on its own, unless you have it on never turn off but I think it will eventually lol.
I am using nova launcher and double tap to turn on works fine but won't turn off. Double tap on the status bar is too tricky for me to operate on one hand.
Thanks to a xda user, to get it to turn off with double tap you will have to download /screen off/ app from play store and set the double tap quick key in nova to launch the app. Works like charm.

It's also easy to set up a Tasker task, and then call it on double tap from Apex or Nova
Elixir admin works too, but for some reason makes mine less responsive to double tap wakeup about 1/3 of the time
My favorite is Shake Off. A gentle twist or shake tturns the screen off and its adjustable sensitivity and direction options make it easy to keep from having the screen turn off too easily, pretty sure its free too. Very convenient and highly recommended.
I was playing with my camera settings and when I selected voice, a menu poped up that let me turn on voice command and select which service I want. Clock, camera etc. Since then I have not been able to get back to that menu. I have searched, and cannot find a refrence. Anyone know how to navigate to the voice command menu? Thanks.

After a few hours I found the answer. First its called the voice control, not command. Access by turning on s voice using the microphone icon. Select the menu key and then settings. Lots of options there including the menu to select which service you would like to control by voice. I especially like the off, snooze command using the alarm.

I like the okay Google feature available for GEL but I use nova for the features and lose the ability for voice control UNLESS I long press menu and get to the Google now app..my question is..Is it possible to add the voice control features to nova without using GEL or long pressing a cap key ?

There are some alternatives but none of them work as well as the OK Google in GEL. The best solution IMO is Open Mic+, which even allows you to change the hot word (from OK Google to any other English phrase) and also activate Google Now by waving above your phone (though very buggy) or shaking the phone (also somewhat buggy). Additionally, Open Mic+ is always listening so you can activate in any app.
Another way to set up quick access through Nova is by going to Nova settings, selecting "Gestures and Buttons", and setting "Home Button" to Voice Search. This allows you to go directly into Google Now Voice search with just one regular short press of the home button.
Hope I helped.

I've used open mic+ when it first came out as a beta app and I wasn't overly impressed...I had an idea of using tasker to set up a task of using OK Google on top of nova launcher but I'm sure that can't be done BC I'm pretty sure OKG is part of GELs mainframe
