There's a app called button remapper. Idk if it's in the play store but check. It works for my camera button as power. I'll look to see which file needs to be changed. Pm if problems..

Check Post #86 and i believe if you use nova or apex you can change long press menu to voice search in launcher settings...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415103&page=9

How do SGS2 users deal with a long hold of the search button? Not possible?
I ask because a lot of people now use long hold search for Google Voice Search as Siri and other voice command software becomes more popular.
This is not asking how to activate search (which I understand is a long hold of the menu button).

AFAIK the stock firmware won't let you do it, you'll need to install MIUI or Cyanogenmod.
We are double tapping on the home button

is there some additional software that needs to be installed? I would most likely flash CM7...
bump, does double tap work out of the box??? or is it a ROM feature?

It's a stock feature, custom roms usually integrate jkays app to give the user the choice of enabling/disabling this feature.
I desperately need to upgrade to ics i'm on geewiz gingerbread now and I hate it. My biggest concern is that when I use ics is that my search button will be useless. Is there any way to avoid this so that I could still use the search softkey to bring up google search? Any help would be great
Huh?
The search key still works. Short press brings up Google search and long press on the search soft key brings up voice actions.

I'm trying to find a way to remap the camera button to be used as a play/pause while the screen is off. The button remapper app is able to do this on some phones, but it doesn't seem to work on the Evo.

Even better would be the above when screen is off and the search/voice search when screen is on.

Yeah, or simply to remap it to whichever function you want.
Is there any way to do nothing when I press the search key for long? Usually I used an app named 'DispRotation Switcher' while in ICS- this acts as a toggle for display rotation, it could be launched by long pressing search key until I was inICS, but it does not launch in stock JB 4.1.2 . Instead of that, google now opens!

i have seen options in cm 10 and liquidsmooth for disabling this. check out the roms and see if you can find it i remember when i was flashing i see this. good luck
Is it possible to map the home button to something else other than S Voice?
I am aware one can disable S Voice from starting when one long presses the home button, and I have checked out Google, and it seems a previous utility Button Remapper or something like that is no longer available.

You can use Xpose framework with Wanam module to replace Svoice with another application.
Thanks, tried but could not get it to launch the app. Not sure what went wrong
