After f***** jb came onto my phone the home button now exits my app after coming from turned off screen. Hate it! I dont want to enable s-voice because it makes the home button lag... Is there any other way to restore home button behaviour to ICS?

Use the power button instead.
Another option is to disable S-Voice.

Upgrade to a newer JB build. That problem's been fixed for a few weeks, ever since LJ1 or LJ2.

I disagree. I have LJ4 and I have that problem. The only solution I found was to start using the power button instead.
I have this problem also. I am running liquidsmooth rc 7. And i have this also on other roms

Since JB update I have no lag on home button even with S-Voice double tap enabled. Also, the apps are not closing when I wake up the phone with home, only if I have s-voice disabled.

main problem is with no lock screen, this results in the phone return to the home screen when unlocked with home.
if you use a lock it will load that, then the last app, unless you press home just as the screen dims.

I have this also. As you say, with s voice double tap enabled, it doesn't happen.
With nova or apex and no program running it pulls up the screen preview. Extremly annoying.

If you install a custom stock-based ROM with s-voice removed (an option in several ROMs with the Aroma installer), the home button issue does not occur.
I have found that it only works with s voice enabled too.I have found no other way on stock
Screen off automatically ------> before 5 seconds, press home button = app exits and shows your home. It's because your phone locks after 5 seconds after your screen automatically turns off. When it locks after 5 seconds, it will show your lock screen.
My advice for you: stop posting useless threads, post in the firmware's thread. Crying here won't solve and won't make anyone fix it.
I have lock, but I have apps which turns the screen off without locking it. When I press home button the screen is turning instantly and no screen lock. I'm very happy with the Jelly Bean update.

First of all, loving my new note. However I noticed that when I press the home key at the bottom, it'll take half a second to a second to actually start the transition to home.
I'm on the latest saurom, can anyone offer me a solution to make it more instantaneous?

Clear your cache in CWM maybe. Otherwise back up your apps with titanium backup and reflash.

Hmm OK I'll try that, just to make sure, my case isn't normal right? How instantaneous is the home button for others?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA
I noticed a slight lag in returning to home using the stock launcher as well, so if you're using that it may be the culprit. I use ADW EX and have no lag anywhere.
I don't own a Note, but many Samsung ROMs have a delayed home button response because it waits for a moment to see if you're going to double-tap the home button, which starts the voice command app. Over in the Galaxy S II forums, we use a tweak to disable this "wait for the double-tap" feature to get rid of the home button lag (on Gingerbread ROMs anyway). Just letting you know in case there's a similar tweak available for the Note.
Ohh that makes a lot of sense thanks, I'm guessing there's no fix like that for the note as of yet. If anyone knows of one please let me know.
Edit: Found it! Its in deluxe settings to turn off double click, now home button is super fast ))

My home button had been acting up as of late, to remedy this I use an app called swipe pad to get me to home screen and other frequently used apps when I need. I am looking for a way to call up ICS recent tasks overlay with a shortcut so I can access it via swipe pad, anyone with a solutionor an idea to point me in the right direction?

interesting, searched for this a lot and ended empty hand, lets see if any other can come up with a solution
should be possible
Interested too
I was redirected by Notification Toggle releaser to this thread:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/2534489-post5.html
Where it gives code to do it via an app
And, he released a process apk that will use screen swipe to launch the recent apps from ICS here:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/tools/190260-recentlauncher-unsichtbarer-recent-apps-softkey.html
Now if someone can code an apk to be launched instead of a process...
I used "Button Savior" on my old phone when the menu button was playing up.
It does have a home button, but i dont know if it supports long press.

Thank you for pointing me to that app

Hm, that's good to know!
Apex and Nova launchers now support this as a gesture toggle from home too
No more need to a third party app
yeah apex launcher is the best solution, it's wonderful!

Hi,
do someone know if it's possible to remap the menu button on our galaxy s 2 to be the multitask button ( I mean the app switcher ) ? I searched hours on Google to see if it was possible and I found a couple way to get it to work. But I'm not sure it works for our phone because we miss some files in the key layout directory.
If you know how we could remap it and get the 3 dots on the screen, let me know !
I'd be so happy !
Have a nice day Belig :laugh:
My Suggestion
Hey Belig
I want to have that too, it's so anoying to long press the home button everytime.
But I think getting the 3 Dots on the screen is pretty ****ty, so if we could do it that when we press the menu button the "recent apps" pops up. And when we long-press the menu button we can get the normal menu. That would be the easiest and best fix for that i think.
But I'm sorry to tell you that I don't know how to do that.
And I think the problem is that nobody is interested in doing that... , as I saw this question more than once on XDA-developers.
But if someone reads it and is interested, please do that! I would be able to do a little donation to that aswell if needed!

I am also really interested in this. Would be awesome if someone could do this.
Update, this was what I found, if you check the last page, first post, it seems that this method works fine with Samsung Galaxy S2 [running cm9, at least ] .
[HOWTO] Remap hardware button to ICS recent apps
Unfortunately, it involves decompiling and other nasty things, which would require quite a bit of effort. Would've been nice, if some ROM, had this option prebuilt. [ changing via settings].
Just a quick update/info. This has been merged in latest CM10 and is also a feature of cm9.

So, I went through the changelog of cm10 and found this :
Settings: Hardware key custom rebinding (2/2)
Description (sounds cool, can't wait for the next build ) :
Code:
Settings for rebinding the actions performed on the following key press events:
Home long-press, menu press, menu long-press, search press, search long-press,
app-switch press and app-switch long-press.
The available actions are: Nothing, open/close menu, recent apps switcher,
search assistant, voice search and in-app search.
EDIT : Sorry, hadn't seen Spiralzz's post. I was actually having this in my build cm10 itself. [ the one I flashed today ] Awesome!!! Now, I have set long-press home button to voice search, press menu button for app-switcher, and long-press menu button for search . Thinking of using, three button in-app for menu options for a while. Thanks a ton

Where can I access this in CM9? I´m on the 7 aug nightly.
I didn´t find it in settings/system.
i resume this old thread. I'm using cyanogenmod 10, so i can remap button as i want. But i would try the stock jelly bean from samsung (obviously rooted) and i I would remap the menu button for multitasking. There is now the possibility? Thanks
Hi,
I seem to have this annoying problem. Lets say I am reading an article in some app. Now my phone goes on standby after 1 minute of inactivity. In ICS, I could press the home button and get back to the app I was on. In JB pressing the home button closes the app and brings me back to home screen. Is there a way to disable that?
Yes there is. Go to settings, than developer settings, scroll down to bottom and uncheck "Destroy any activity soon as user leaves is"
Also, check background process limit. If it is set to 0 then select "Standard Limit"

My developer options were off. And none of that was checked anyways. The annoyance started when I updated to JB.
Than really i cant help you, because i dont have that problem. I also have jelly bean installed.

Have exactly the same problem. Before Jelly Bean this didn't happen.
I guess I'll just have to get used to waking it up with the power button instead until there's a fix.
Btw I'm running stock 4.1.1.

The problem is that the lock screen has not yet activated, therefore commands are passed to the current app running. You need to use the power button to turn on the screen. Else, search thru the settings for where to change the lock screen to lock immediately the screen the screen goes off. This might help.

yes it helps.you must set the lock screen and it works.but is there any way without look screen to ?
This problem seems to be affecting those who turned off S-Voice
Just go into its setting and enable it to activate via double pressing home button. The problem then goes away in JB.
yes it works ! i have only installed s-voice apk and thats it !

well that is a common problem in the leaked ones. i have that too when ever i multi task. rooting can help you.
Its because TW is kicked out if memory being a background app whilst another app is in use, if you go back to 4.1 you can use either JKay's framework or xposed app settings lock touchwiz home in memory (xposed may work on the leak I'm not 100% sure) however keep in mind this will affect multitasking a bit.
