Hi guys, I need a little help here.
On ICS I used to skip songs on Poweramp using the headset button, but since I upgraded to Jellybean, the long press goes to Voice Search on Google Now? Is there a way to disable that? I already configured on Poweramp to use the long press, gave it high priority, but google voice continues taking place and there's no options there to disable it.
Any idea?

Hello. I've found "Headset Button Controller" on the market. It seems that this should be a fixer for this issue. I will try this later, because starting this google voice is annoying...
There's a review saying Google Voice still has the priority

Anyone know how to just adjust the button time for it? On my Xperia Z it is too sensitive and trying to pause/unpause music usually ends up launching it. I'll see if I can figure how to just disable the google now...

If you install a headset button conytol app and set the sensitivity of the buttons to your personal need it works pretty good.
This app does not only control the buttons but also the app itself, like Poweramp,, but also online players like Spotify an Rdio. Free, no ads.

I don't think so.
That/those smarties in google dev team who come up with this idea should be punished @%!^#[email protected]$^@$^$&U
I've made the app which brings back long-press functionality for the button. Headset Remapper remaps “HEADSETHOOK WAKE” key with the “MEDIA_NEXT WAKE”. In other words when you press the play/pause/accept/decline button (the one in the middle or the only one in your remote) it will be “seen” by the Android OS as the SKIP button (next song).
Having this done you can use your button again with its full functionality (I checked that it works with this app: Headset Button Controller). Remember that you need to configure the SKIP (MEDIA_NEXT) button not the the play/pause/accept/decline !
This app needs ROOT to run!

I tried the app and it didn't work for me on a US Cellular Galaxy S3. I'm not sure why. I started it, granted it root, and it said it was successful when I made the change. I rebooted, and then tested it out and holding the button still launched Google Now. I then restored the original file with the app. Then I followed these manual instructions in this thread and rebooted. I need to point out that I do not have a sec_jack.kl file, so I only edited Generic.kl. After doing the edit by hand and rebooting, long press now works the way I want and doesn't launch Google Now. :victory: I use Headset Button Controller for assigning the functions.

I've had Molten 2.1 since the day ryman released it, and it's running great but, just realized that when I hold down the search button ScreenGrabber is activated rather than Voice Search.
I flashed it over stock GB 2.3.4.
I checked ScreenGrabber for any options to disable this but there are none.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
And thanks to ryman for the awesome ROM. It runs great.

Just making sure but, are you sure your not pressing screen grabber because sometimes that app drawer can be a little crazy. It works flawless for me so idk.

I think he is referring to the actual hardware button
I think the solution would be to just tap the button, not hold.

Yeah. When you hold down search button on the phone (actual hard button) it opens up screen grabber. I like it though.

Are you wanting to voice search the net? If so there is a voice button on that search bar when you short press.

Have you tried going to settings, applications, and browse the all tab for screengrabber. select it and pick clear defaults. See if that helps, I have yet to try Molten, don't know if this will help/work. Good Luck

It's one of the best features of our DX2 IMHO. I love how we can txt, emailnavigatete, google search and all that. I love teasing my son about his apple crap and how they're now finally catching up to us after a couple years.

Sorry for the late reply.
In stock and previous versions of Molten, when I press and hold the Search hard button, it would open Voice Commands. As someone mentioned, it's great for driving and being lazy. Currently, it opens up screengrabber.
You cannot clear the defaults on screengrabber. I backed it up and uninstalled it with TB. That is a crappy work around but it does work. Although, it doesn't work with a Bluetooth hands free device. Pressing the search key used to open voice commands, now it simply calls back your most recent call.
I haven't had time to flash M2.2 but I will. Thanks again for the help!
So im digging JB on almost every level. With the exception of one.
Is there a way to make a long press of my search button on my phone do voice search instead of just google now coming up? Not sure why google determined that a regular press and long press should do the same thing.
Voice search got replaced with Google now.

just say 'Google' on the google now. It will start the voice search. The long press is intended to be used to start google now when you're in an application (kinda like global shortcut).
Right, but is there a way to make the long press go directly to voice search?

There used to be a Tasker solution for this, but it seems JB has broken the Tasker Search Helper, as well.
Try using Tasker in conjunction with 'Assistant Event for Tasker' (free). I have it working on my phone.

ok so google now has updated to allow voice search over bluetooth headset which DOES work...or for me anyways,. HOWEVER
we still have the same ol' problem of being not able to "push bluetooth headset button" to open google now .
or shall i say i cant find a way, has anyone else had success with this?
so far ive tried disabling s-voice in apps menu, and now it goes to google voice dial,
i cannot disable voice dial.,
ive also tried using the "bluetooth launch" app from market to no response,
any help would be majorly appreciated
update:
ive now gotten google now to come up from bluetooth button push, however seems googlenow just freezes once opened, still works fine from widget microphone press just not from BT,
this post from another site helped

I'm not sure if this is true for other phones listed above, but for The Galaxy Note II, I had to make sure S-Voice was disabled (it says Voice Dialer on the first post).
Also, if you have downloaded bluetooth launcher you probably already tried:
"Google Search" and then selected "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity"
and was still launching S-Voice. Once you disable S Voice (note the space) go into Settings > Application manager and scroll to the right to ALL. Then find S Voice and disable it.
Once you disable it and hit the button on the paired bluetooth device, you will get a "Complete Action Using" dialog. Resist the temptation to choose Google search. I know it's the logical choice, however you will not get Google Now; you will get a Google voice dialer instead. So make sure you choose "Bluetooth Launch" and select ALWAYS. Now when you hit the bluetooth button, you should get Google Now.
soooo, no progress
still stuck at getting the microphone to actualy work when google now is accessed.
i see a thanks from member "exitcode1" did you have any better luck ?

If you like Bixby, congrats you're weird. Haha. But if you don't and want to remap I suggest using bxActions. Let's you remap the Bixby button to whatever, I use it your Google assistant.
dude exactly what I was looking for
Just an FYI bxActions seems to kill Car Mode for Galaxy. Yes car mode sucks but I don't even use the app. I use it to get into full screen mirroring so I can use ALL my apps in my car. Navigation included. Apparently bxActions overlays the screen and prevents me from using my touchscreen altogether. Once I uninstalled bxActions all was well again. I'll live with that button being active.
Not knocking bxActions. It's great for what it does. I just want mirrorlink more than I want to kill that button. I'm just putting this here for anyone else having issues with Car Mode, mirrorlink and looking for a solution.
Most all of the Bixby remappers also cause lag on your phone. I have just diabled Bixby with Package Pro Disabler.

Same here. Had too much lag, it would briefly open bixby, than the app I remapped it to. Now I just have a dead button. I wish Samsung had it remappable out the box. That and a "Just once/Always" when choosing default apps. For the meantime I use "Better open with" app. It's great.

bxActions disables Bixby and allows you to go straight to the app or action you use. Look up the app and see if it's the same as others.

Nope, still great. No annoying Bixby now.
I think I'm weird, though it's still brand new to me. I may just be caught in the novelty that you can completely control your phone with it. That was sort of the dream of the nerdy 3rd party voice apps and Tasker setups few years ago.
I was just afraid I couldn't use GA at the same time. Now I sort of feel like I have the best choice for different tasks. I've had Siri for the past year and it sucked.
But ultimately voice assistants are probably all somewhat dumb so far. Also, it must affect battery having 2 systems listening.

Same here, althought training Bixby is being a nightmare, After 2 hours I finally got to the second stage of the voice training where it wants me to read a few sentances, then it just takes a turd and says it didnt hear **** and wants to start over again.
I just never set either of them up. Problem solved! Best voice assistant I have seen is Hound. You can ask it some complex things.
You know with Bixby you can make a custom chat. Type in your question and type in what you want it to respond...can get pretty humorous

Thanks for the head's up. BK Package Disabler works great to kill Bixby. While in the app, if you hit the three vertical dots settings in the upper right one of the items is the Bixby remapper. Anyone try this yet? It looks like you have to re-enable bixby briefly in order to do the remap.
I hated bixby at first but im finding the chain commands very useful, even the built in commands like Goodnight and Good Morning, movie mode, work really well and I'm able to add lighting macros to connected items.
I like good morning on GA but it lacks the hardware switches that make bixby unique.
