Is there any way to modify the Double Home Tap on the AT&T SGS2? I removed the Voice Command, and actually installed the "better" version of Vlingo Voice Assist (since it support Bluetooth much better). Like to link the double tap back to Vlingo Voice Assist.
You can map it to the long press and hold of search.
Yes, I have that mapped to GO SMS Quick Compose
Please stay on topic. Again.. Double Tap on Home

For someone asking for help, you seem to be a little condescending... He was offering you a suggestion to accomplish almost the same thing, since AFAIK, you cannot change the double-home assignment.
Come on guys, it was a specific request to map the double tap home key. Yes the advice was good, and should be appreciated, but it was off topic.

This isn't a too much of a big deal, but curiosity kills me. Since the SGS 2 looks like it lacks a dedicated search button, I wonder if it has a substitute?
What I appreciated on my Nexus One is the search button which is excellent to Google something on the fly and to activate Voice Search. So I'm just wondering if the SGS 2 will have something to generate a quick search or if the U.S. variants will have search buttons?
like the first galaxy S i9000 , you will be able to long press the menu button to simulate the search button
And for the voice search double pressing the home button will do the trick as seen on the vids floating the web
Search seems like the biggest waste of.a button ever. Never missed it on the i9000 at all.

I never used my search-button as it is now, but if the menu-button long-press is assigned to search, how do you switch on and off the on-screen keyboard?
On other android-devices a long-press of the menu-button will activate/deactivate the on-screen keyboard.

I have a Hero, never ever have I had to long press the menu button to get the keyboard up/down. It comes up when it's needed, it disappears with a press of the "hide keyboard" button or the back button!

The hide keyboard button is only on HTCs Sense keyboard no? It's certainly not there on the stock android keyboard.
I've had instances where the keyboard blocked part of the screen and if I had pressed the back button the program would've closed/gone to a previous screen and I wouldn't have been able to do what I wanted without pulling down the keyboard with a long press of the menu-button.
It might not be a big problem or something that occurs often, but it can be annoying and that's why I ask.

You just hit the "Back" button to hide the keyboard
As he just explained, in certain programs (very few) pressing the "back" button to switch off the on-screen keyboard can quit the progrmam you are actually using. But samsung made a very neat trick for that since the first version of the Galaxy S i9000, just swipe down from the upper part of the keyboard to the bottom and the keyboard will disappear, no need for a specific button. I find it very intuitive personnaly, and in the same situation you can also swipe left or right in the keyboard area to switch from letters to numbers view back and forth.
That is an excellent feature. Do any other phones do this?
I don t know any other phone that do so natively, but there is some third party keyboards that copied that (just like CyanogenMod and everyone else copied the wifi, bluetooth etc toggles in the notification bar) "smart keyboard" or "better keyboard" I think.
Meh, I love the design but I love my search button; using Vlingo, I can hold the button and tell my phone to do whatever I want, much better than tgr default Google voice command app.

That's no big deal, you can easily fix it with a third party app.
And btw it's a matter of time for Android 2.4 Ice cream to come.. and there are rumors that it won't need buttons at all...

Doubtful... Why would I want screen real estate taken up with buttons? It works on a tablet, It would be nonsensical on a phone.
samsung hasn't actually officially confirmed if there will be a 2.4 update...

They haven't confirmed that the SGS will get Gingerbread either yet I'm running XXJVK which is Android 2.3.3.
Thinking about picking up a gs2 buuuuut will really miss the search button. I use that as my app drawer/contacts/dialer etc, I just start typing whatever I want to do with my phone.
Is it currently possible to assign double tap to search? I don't see the option in launcher pro
try long press the menu button
If you hold the menu.button on the Galaxy S2 it behaves as a search button.
if you double tap home you get voice search or voice commands by vlingo. It actually works pretty well.
awesome, thanks guys!
Hi,
I've changed the behavior of standard hardware buttons from /system/usr/keylayout.kl. But what about the long press behavior, or double tap?! I want to hold Home button for rotate screen, and hold Menu button to anything else than google search.
Someone know's how?
Thanks in advice!
Well... >100 visitors but no response ))
I will just try harder to find a response to my question, like in every post that i wrote here )
Try and app called "homemyhome".
You are the MAN !!!
Thank you VERY VERY much, is a very good application, is for double tap and is very ok. If you find some for Menu button, don't ezitate to tell me...
Thanks again!
I used the app called Advanced Home Button....
Must be rooted...
Hi there, just want to know how i would go about assigning the camera to the home button double click action?
I have searched and found a lot of old threads but not much else, forgive me if this has been posted recently, and please be so kind to link me to the correct thread.
I am running stock Android GB 2.3.4
with Kernel version XWKI4 (CF-root)
I do not want to change roms because i do not want to re-install all my apps and games (I am very low on data/cap).
Also is there a way to use my one of volume keys as a "shutter" key?
So is there any way I can do what i am requesting?
Thanks
No need to change ROM there is an app on the market

Download Home2 Shortcut from the market
That application is listed as "not working" on S2 from the creator of the app, I'm guessing because of the stock double-click function our phone has.
You can assign a different app to double-clicking the home button with homeMYhome from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299923

If that is the only reason you don't want to switch ROMs I would suggest looking into titanium backup as a way of backing up and recovering your apps/games and data without worrying about your data cap.

Glad I could help
Since its a...hold the home button, then Swype up to the virtual icon that pops up to activate Google Now.
Any ideas as to what they will do? I knew this button thing was a bad idea. :cyclops:
I think (though I may be mistaken) you can also access Google Now the same way you access voice search (the mike icon on the search bar on the home screen). This would obviously be much less convenient, though.
In my opinion they should kick s-voice to the curb! but thats just me
That's right...double tap brings up Voice. Maybe that's what they will do. Sucks that because of S Voice...there is a slight pause after pressing the button once to get back Home.
simple, replace long-press menu.
They might implement re-assigning the home button function, JB Voice looks pretty sweet.
