OK... I have got Tasker, I`m trying to make a shortcut to talkback, or accessibility that can be accessed from double pressing the home button.
I have tried xshortcut to try and use the capture feature on it, but I get a permissions error.
I could enter it in the intent field manually I suppose, but what would I have to type as an intent to get to talkback to either toggle on or off, or to get just the the talkback screen?
I have looked and looked. The closest I am getting is com.android.settings.Subsettings.
Yes I am a noob and yes I am out of my depth, but I am just trying to make a talkback toggle for my partially sighted wife.
Any flaming/suggestions welcome
EDIT: In an ideal world, the Home2 shortcut app would work, as you can select a shortcut in this app, so I would make an accessibility shortcut with Anycut, and use it with that, but SGS2 isn`t compatibile with Home2 shortcut, and advanced home button app cannot select shortcuts
BUMP.

any update on this?? Am also trying to figure out the same thing for galaxy s and an android tab..
Closest I have got is, because Home2 doesn`t work on TouchJizz, you install some kind of AOSP rom then it works faultlessly.
The closest shortcut you can make is getting to the accessibility page, this is does either through Nova launcher actions (which I thinik is similar to anycut) or use Anycut itself!
Talkback needs an update...
Same here. I emailed the developer of spiel and he says a direct shortcut can't be made as Google limits this!

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
https://market.android.com/details?id=sg.ruqqq.quickdeskpro&feature=search_result
Quick Desk Beta - not sure what's the difference
https://market.android.com/details?id=sg.ruqqq.quickdesk&feature=search_result
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!

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.
I won't be using S Voice a whole lot, and would rather repurpose my home key double click to something useful - such as recent apps/multitasking (as this would be much faster than holding home down). Is there a mod for this?
Also, I'd like to double click home to wake phone and unlock screen - any mods for this?
I'm on Omega v6.0, just flashed it.
Also, I'd like to do something about the wake-up delay. When pressing power or home to wake the screen up, there's a wait of a good half a second - I want it instantaneous, like my old phone was.
Any ideas?
Bump.
Afaik this delay is caused by waking up from deep sleep. There isnt much you can do, unless you want to force your phone to stay awake it will drain the battery quickly, though.
Try apex or nova launcher..
For multitasking try "wave launcher".not an ordinary launcher, check market
Editr try gesture launcher
Edit 2: or dock4droid also cool 4 multitasking

Home2 shortcut in the market is.pretty useful.for key shortcuts like double click home or double click search key. Check it out

Home2 Shortcut seems like it should work (if and only if S Voice is disabled). If you have Nova Launcher installed, task switching is one of the shortcuts Nova has (so within Home2 Shortcut when you choose the app you'd like to be run, choose "Shortcut->Nova->Task Switcher"). If you don't use Nova as your normal launcher, I might be concerned about whether this causes Nova to be loaded into memory--this is a very simple test, but I can't do it because Nova is my launcher so it's already in memory.
The above technique has two disadvantages: you lose the ability to press "home" when you're already at the launcher (it does nothing), and there's an added delay before opening the launcher. I mitigate this delay by setting the double-tap time to a fast setting.
Another idea I had that might work:
- Uninstall S Voice (I think you can also rename the .apk to .apkbackup).
- Install a task-switching app (there's a very simple one on the market but it's not free--it just triggers normal Android task switching)
- Decompile the task-switching app
- Change the app namespace to S Voice's namespace
- Recompile and install the modified app.
This might make double-home-tap automatically trigger task switching without the disadvantages that come with using Home2 Shortcut. Unfortunately, I haven't yet decompiled/recompiled an app, so I probably can't give this a try until the weekend.
Edit: If technique 2 works and we want to share it as a mod, our only choice is to rewrite the app. There's no way we can condone pirating somebody's paid app.

Multitask Shortcut. Perhaps there are other apps that do this, but I haven't looked.
But it's still at least 2 button press. I'm lazy, so I'll continue with "wave launcher" that's just a swipe over screen and all your selected apps appear.

I f*&#ing hate this stock rom! If anyone could tell me how, or if there is a way by disabling a service, to stop the google search popping up when you swipe past the home button or hold it for a second. Aargh!
Install Google Now Launcher or Nova.
Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
I have the pro version of nova installed. This has no options to disable this feature
Install Tasker for example. Then if You swipe the home button the popup will show with apps to choose - then choose Tasker (use always) that could do just nothing.
Now if You swipe home button only white circle would appear - that would do nothing.
I should have pointed out that my intention is to stop this circle popping up, so i can use the slimpie controls and disable the navbar completely. I am afraid I am struggling to come to terms with just how limited a stock rom is. Sure I can get root via the sony dev website but at this point I think all the fancy algorithms for camera performance would be removed, as well as throttling for thermal control.
When you Google Search, you find https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hk.sld.SwipeLaunchDisabler
The Irony
I'm using this app to fast lock the screen when I swipe up the home button
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
otherwise you can use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dynamicg.homebuttonlauncher
to have more options respect to open google search
Just FYI:
- This is called "Swype up for Google Now" in old Nexus manuals.
- Now in Android 6.0 is replaced for "Google Now on tap".
I don't really know how to disable it.... Maybe trying another Launcher.
Thanks for your input. however the home button launcher will not achieve my goal, and the swipelauncher disabler is comically pointless! It is less a disable function, more so it just doesn't launch my browser, choosing instead to flash the screen at me! It is clear that I will not be sated until custom roms come about with some CM or AOSP goodness. Please hurry devs, I want to love this phone...
I'm a bit late to the party and I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but I've just been disabling some apps on my z5c and one of them was the Google Now app (I think it was called). Because the bubble popping up was from the Google now app, it has stopped appearing ever since. Hope to have helped.
Disable the Google App
Yep remove Google Now or I just tried this and works well (you cannot prevent the animation that will still persists, but the action gets revoked the way you have requested.)

Hi, go under settings -> buttons -> Home button, set longpress to no action
maybe this helps
Hey bud!,
I tried that, its still starting google voice thingy when i hold my button on my cord
Disable the "App Google", you will get rid of Google Crap Now, the omnipresent search bar, the long press-listen and all.
Notably, you will also loose voice recognition that goes as input method (when the keyboard is present) that's the only thing I find useful.
I tried shutting off the google app in "Currently Executed" apps, but it keeps coming back
Removing from recent app's makes nothing...
Go into Settings -> Apps -> "all" tab -> search for App Google and click "disable"
you can flash othere roms the othere rom can remove the google search

That is a good idea. But the shortcuts it creates from applications are not in sync with the main application.
I'd suggest looking at an app called shortcut maker. It has all the solutions to your shortcuts problem.

Download the app..look for the shortcut that you need and the app creates it to your home screen...I have it on my phone...really good stuff.

That's not a hint.
In Shortcut Maker, as in Activity Launcher, there is no shortcut to mobile network mode.
Both apps only find what Shortcutter Quick Settings creates.

Assuming you have shortcut maker running, go to intents link, search for network...choose network operator settings...and then create shortcut...voila

Unfortunately, but it does not open the network selection list itself, only a place in the android settings where you can open the list.

There just isn't a way my friend. Not to that specific part of the menu. That thread of the settings doesn't have its own activity.
The mother activity is
com.android.settings.Settings$WirelessSettingsActivity
And this is the closest you can get to that particular setting.
What I usually do is...using Modes and Routines....on a second home page....I add One manual routine for each mobile network connection type.
It isn't ideal....but it does work.
Ramkal said:

Here is how I do it.
Made a second page on your home screen.
This is optional.
Go to Modes And Routines.
Tap the "+" icon in the top right.
Tap the "+" under "If"
Tap "Start manually"
Tap the "+" under Then.
Tap "Connections"
Tap "Network mode"
A menu will pop up. Tap one. EG "2G only"
Now...under "When routine ends"
Tap "Reverse actions"
Toggle the top "On" toggle off.
(This is very important...because this makes the whole routin a switch a opposed to a toggle)
Tap "Save"
At the top tap "Network Mode" and rename it to what mode you chose for this switch.
Give it an icon...if you wish.
Now...depending on your launcher...you'll be asked to place a widget. Place it in your home screen.
Now...repeat...but swapping 2g to 3g....and so on.

Hang on! Are we talking about the same app. This is the app that I'm referring to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rk.android.app.shortcutmaker. This app takes you to the main network selection window..there you can choose the mode...This saves at least 2-3 prior clicks...

I know my way is long winded...but you do it once...and as long as you cancel the reverse action of each routine....you end up with a button you can tap to swap it to the network type you wish.
If you leave the reverse action...you end up with lots of routines "on" and the switching doesn't work.
