Home button (double tap) Taskmanager? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I was wondering if there is a tweak where I can double press the home button and lunch the task manager straight away instead of the voice command? This will be so much better and easier then holding the home button and then pressing the task mananger...
THANKS

That was even ruder, Matraik is a very helpful guy around here. If you cant be bothered just holdin the home button for like a second go into apps and select task manager.

[REQUEST] Long Press to Launch Camera in ROM

Not sure why this was deleted last time as users were already discussing this topic. I'd like to know which moderator deleted it and why.
I think it'd be nice for devs to build into their rom a long press of a hardware button to launch the camera app.
If this thread should be in the APP/Themes section, a mod should MOVE it there not delete it entirely. Retarded.
So is this long press of a hardware button (i suggest one of the volume keys) possible to link to launching an app specifically the camera?
i was wondering where it went myself .ah well i like this idea and would use it if it became available.if its even possible
Look for an application on the market that lets your configure the long press on search softkey.
It'll let you load any application by long pressing the search key.
Thank you, works great.

I could be wrong, but i don't think the mods owe you any explanation. If you knew where you went wrong, why ask the question?
Anyways, back on topic, this would be an awesome mod on stock froyo, one I'd like to incorporate into my rom
OOORRRR.... You could long press your "seach key." To my knowledge the long press comes unassigned to anything. If you press it, it will give you an option of which app to use for it.
Search for the camera and VOILA! Again.
Personally, I have it set to QuickDesk.

Delay when pressing the home button. Anyone?

There's a delay when pressing the home button. So when i press the home button it takes like 2 seconds to go the home page.
Its really annoying
Anyone else with this problem ?

Long Hold Search Button?

How do SGS2 users deal with a long hold of the search button? Not possible?
I ask because a lot of people now use long hold search for Google Voice Search as Siri and other voice command software becomes more popular.
This is not asking how to activate search (which I understand is a long hold of the menu button).

AFAIK the stock firmware won't let you do it, you'll need to install MIUI or Cyanogenmod.
We are double tapping on the home button

is there some additional software that needs to be installed? I would most likely flash CM7...

It's a stock feature, custom roms usually integrate jkays app to give the user the choice of enabling/disabling this feature.

Press the capacitive search button while on the home screen. Or use the search app in the app drawer, or add the google search widget to your home screen. You might be blind.
Huh, I always thought that was the Call Sherlock Holmes button. Learn something new every day.

Mod menu button!

Hi guys!
I new to this forum section because I'm coming from Nexus S.
I want to ask if is possible that instead of the voice command when we double click to open the search app. or recent tasks.I know that we have the recent tasks by hold the menu button pushed but with the double click is a little quicker.
Maybe it answered but I did not found it yet.
Sorry could you be more clear? i didn't understand what's your problem

I think he asks if its possible to set double tap home button as task manager. He already knows long pressing works as task manager but he wants the double click do the job
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Yes something like yhis. Or the double typing could be the search button. So is this possible or not?

I havent heard
I havent heard of any rom that does this. Usually all roms ive seen and flashed..(and trust me.... ive flashed almost all of them....), have taskmanager set to long press on the home button... ill search around and see what i can find.
Im saying this because when i had Nexus S I could use the search button for the recent tasks.
