Hi,
I've got Galaxy S2 on Android 2.3.4 (Basband I9100XXKH3 Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKH3-CL479037 Build GINGERBREAD.XXKH3)
There's a problem and another niggle I have.
The problem is that when I double-tap the home key, I get the Voice Talk asking me "what would I like to do?"
I want to disable this.
It seems that sometimes this happens by accident - either because I accidentally double-tap or because the hardware/software mis-interprets a single press as two. Read about this somewhere else on the web too.
All I really want to do is for double-tap to just return me to the home screen.
The slight delay that occurs when pressing the home key I'm told is because of the double-tap feature.
I've tried a few methods I found on line but none were actually solutions.
I found an alternative launcher but it turned out that the fix was an irreversible solution, which I don't want.
Surely this should not be that hard!??
How can I disabled the voice talk or double-press on the home key?
Can anyone help or advise?
Thanks in advance,
D
You need root to remove system apps.
You can use apps such as Titanium Backup Pro to remove or freeze the app, or use a file explorer such as Root Explorer to remove. Another easy way is to flash a custom ROM with that particular "bloatware" removed. These methods all require root access.

Not sure where I saw this option once but it removed double click. Tested it and it worked then reactivated it.
Maybe Google 'galaxy s2 remove double click'.

I disable double tap home key now I can't restore it. I reinstalled firmware but it doesn't work. How can I enable it again? Voice commands works but double tap doesn't start app.
Just tried this and it worked. Yay!!!!!! No more goddamn vilingo this was driving me crazy!!
No root, no custom rom, easy.

double tap a different behaviour
Awsome took me a month to find this answer, went back to twlauncher and the darn thing wasnt there anymore. Now is there anyway i can give the double tap a different behaviour? without rooting the device otherwise away goes my warranty.
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.
First of all, thanks to abhi922 for this great ROM. It is really light and cute.
I've read the thread in Development section, and I know how difficult it was to implement the lockscreens in this ROM, so it can be a little ironic that I want to disable them entirely, and even remove them to get a little more space. I can not find a way to disable them from the Simplicity options, it just let me choose between locks. It is possible to get rid of the them?
The other question is whether there is any way that the volume buttons do not wake up the screen. I use a lot the music player (PowerAmp), and I don't like having to turn off the screen every time I go up or low volume. I`ve read that PowerAmp don't do this, but in my case, it does.
Thanks in advance.

First go to simplicity settings enable all 15 toggels
In that you will see Lock toggel just off it your lockscreen will get disabled .

Yes, I have activated the toggle in the status bar. But is there anything more ... permanent? Do not know if it's normal, but I have to use the lockscreen toggle every time my phone restarts. It seems to work much like the "no lock" app: does not disable the lockscreen, only prevents it activates.
So I wanted to know if it is possible to get rid of the lockscreen, or is that Android simply does not allow it, and now I have to spend the rest of my life (or more like... phone life) inactivated it every time I turn on the phone. I know it is not that bad, but well... yep.
Ok, I think I've made it (at least disable screen wake from volume keys, for lockscreen I'm still using "no lock" until I find another way to get rid of it)..
I found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086526) and downloaded the file in the first post, but doesn't work for me. It seems that disabled lockscreen and avoid volume keys to wake up screen are not compatible. You have to choose one -_-
But reading the rest of the thread get me this idea and it works:
I've open /system/usr/keylayout with my root explorer and edited all the files that have VOLUME_UP and VOLUME_DOWN on them (in my case, bcm_headset.kl, qwerty.kl, sec_key.kl and sec_keypad.kl).
The thing is that you have to delete the word WAKE from each VOLUME_UP and VOLUME_DOWN that you find.
Mi lockscreen is desactivated (with "no lock" app) and my screen doesn't wake up anymore with the volume keys AT ALL
Thanks to DocRambone and aydc for the ideas. And to Hitesh2626 for your attention.
Replaces the menu button with the multitasking switcher

This is my first xposed module (was intended as a hello world).

Known issue: bad layout in dialer on some touchwiz devices caused by onscreen menu button
bug screenshot: i.imgur.com/H5mZzva.png
Can you guys get around the above problem by removing the dialer/contacts app from the action overflow whitelist ? if yes please tell me and I will push an update to make it easy to blacklist by default.
Sorry for the badly formatted links but XDA dosen't allow new accounts to post formatted links ?!
I love this mod.
Yes, adding the following to the overflow menu white list fixes the bug on 4.3 TouchWiz:
Phone
Contacts
I had a hard time to do this though since the applications were not in any particular order. Hope this helps.
Works perfectly in my note 2 dn3 RC2 ROM
Thanks for dev
what about apps that dont have 3dot menu button? how to access menu if the menu button became recent app button?

By default, you can press and hold the menu button to access the menu with this Xposed module active.
On galaxy note, it work perfect when perform one click to open task, manager.
But problem in opening menu when long press the button. It will keep show and hide the menu when keep press the button.
And, if only press for 3 seconds. The menu appear and once release button it disappear.
I believe this thread is rarely visited and checked by the author of the module. I think it's better if we post our concerns in the official support discussion thread according to the description here:

Yes, it does. You need to whitelist "Phone" and "Contacts" from MenuBeGone's UI. That did the trick on my device.

I lurk all threads Will provide an update that detects if device is running touchwiz and blacklist based on feedback.
For now I will blacklist Phone and Contacts packages.

Lol. :good: Sounds good. Honestly, that's the only thing I can think of for you to change. Or maybe give an option on how long we should press and hold the menu button for the menu to show up instead.
Thanks for the mod. :laugh:
Not working perfectly
See the attachments. Im on jellybean 4.2.1 I am using 1.2b version of your module.
When i press menukey it shows recent apps like in Gingerbread. Please fix it !
Issue with Samsung S3 stock ROM 4.3
Thanks for the module, Helped a lot. :good:
I have another problem, can anyone please fix this.
After applying the module there is space for NavBar, but there are no icons( I can get them though).
Dock icon labels are also gone. Can anyone help me get the original look back with icon label and less space.
Please look at attachment.
Black bar in the dialer
Thank you very much for this awesome module
Here is the only problem I have on Galaxy S4 mini. As you mentioned it this module doesn't work well with the dialer.
I'm getting a black bar at the bottom of the Keypad and only Keypad !,, All the other tabs in a dialer, like Logs, Favorites and Contacts look good.
Work on my note 8 !
very very Thanks a lot.... :good: :good: :good:
Showing "Recents", not "Task Switcher".
Hello sir. Thanks for your helpful module. But I am having problem on my device. I am using Vega IM-A760s. When I press menu key, it shows the "Recents" screen, not the "Multitasking" screen (as in the attachments). Can you help me to solve this. Thanks.
Great module. Two issues:
1) On the GS4 running Lollipop, the dialer has a problem:
If I try to uncheck Phone and Contacts from the whitelist, there is no effect.
2) Would it be possible to search through the whitelist or sort the whitelist alphabetically? Useful when I have 300+ apps on the list.
Thanks!
Not sure if this mod is still being developed or not but I have installed it on my Samsung Galaxy S4 and works great apart from when I watch videos on MX Player.
In MX Player you can lock the screen while watching a video and disables the hardware buttons. I have found that the menu key still works despite the screen being locked.
Is there any chance this can be fixed?
Hi, can't help but noticed that there's a slight delay when I pushed the recent button. Looks a lot like home button delay with S-Voice. Might be related with Talkback app. Settings> Accessibility> Dexterity & Interaction > Tap & hold delay. Lowest setting is 0.5.. any way to change the value?
So ive been search around for a while now on how to fix this. And to anyone that chimes in and says why do you need the menu button obviously you don't use older apps, the new touch button on the screen is a huge annoyance especially since i've used my phones this way since my first S1. Regardless this is how i want it and so do many other people.
Currently this is only for a rooted phone
I have figured out how to remap the left soft key from the App Switcher/Multi window over to the old style menu key. Instructions for that can be found here
But now i don't have any way of switching to my currently open apps, after remapping the left key, the longpress now takes you to search. and long pressing on the home button also takes you to another variation of the search (both i dont use nor want). I want to be able to remap my left softkey on longpress to open up currently open apps (APP_SWITCH) and it would be nice if long pressing on Home could open the Task Manager as it did on my S3.
As far as i can tell editing of the longpress function is done via a Policy edit. Read about that HERE
Keep in mind that post is from 2014 so i have no idea if the internal code is still being handled the same way, i couldn't even find that file on my S6, but i did find a file called SEPOLICY in my root folder using ROOT EXPLORER. Do any of you know more about this and how I can go about changing this? im sure its a code level adjustment. Thanks
Long-press home button can be controlled without root easily.
Check out this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spada.nowgesturetweaksfree
I use the long-press home to get to my last used app.
I wonder if I can remap my buttons to launch any other apps.. Will have to tinker around a bit.

very useful. menu for navigation is long long outdate. software nave or 3 dots is the customary way to go. adding a secondary menu button is redudant and unnecessary. my little ewww comment brought a lot to the table. you tryingt to call me out on it is less useful.

lol f off
If you guys use Dropbox, how do you get to the menu with SORT, etc.. without a menu key. This is making me crazy. I'm using nova launcher and there is no floating menu key. ????
The problem is if not every developer uses it, it's inconsistent.
It often helps if the options etc. In apps are on the top, so you don't have to fidget with your phone to reach the top or use two hands.
The menu button on every app is positioned somewhere else, so I find the op wanting it justified.
All in one gestures let's you remap every key, for some odd reason on my s4 I can remap the menu key, but on the S6 for some odd reason the option of the menu key has vanished in the same app:what:

Hi pal. Hope it helps. Make 254 button remap, then install nova launcher, in tab gestures select long press menu and then recent app. Profit! Now once tapped you have menu button, long pressed - recent apps.
So, i made it, i use it. It works.
