Home button lag - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello so I've noticed sometimes when I'm in an app, say chrome, or a game and I press the home button it always takes a few seconds for the press to register and go back home. Is there a way to get rid of the home button lag?

this is because of the double tap home button to open the camera, at least most likely, it means the phone waits a moment to check for the 2nd press of the home button before treating it like a single home button press.
This can be disabled by going into the camera, then camera settings, then turn off "quick launch"

Long Press HOME for Google

By long pressing the HOME button I can bring up 3 commands one being the google button or Google item.
Is there any way to put this as a short cut on the home screen??
When I click the search box on the home screen it doesn't bring up the same Google window (with the mountains) in the background.
I want to have this on my home screen so its easer to access.

If you use any rom that has the Android Navigation Bar along the bottom (or at least has support for it), that will give you exactly what you are requesting. Because if you hold down the home button on the Navigation bar a small popup menu will appear allowing you to select Google Now (Google window with the mountains).
Otherwise, put a shortcut to "Google" from your app menu on your homescreen.

Home button does not return to main screen when pressed

The home button does not return to the main screen when I press it.
I turned off the Google Assist long press, because whenever I pressed the home button it would immediately open that, but now that I've turned that off nothing happens when I press the home button.
I know it still works however, because when I close my phone the finger print recognition still opens my phone.
Any help would greatly appreciated as I'm having to use the floating dock which I really don't want to!

I had this issue a couple of times. For me it helped just to restart the phone.

Remap power button?

I haven't been able to figure out a way to remap the physical power button. There was an xposed module that worked great long ago, but hasn't been updated to work with oreo. I want to be able to press/long press/double tap/whatever the power key to take me to the home screen. I've used the fingerprint sensor apps, but they're hit or miss at different times, which is more frustrating than not having it. The other button mapper programs seem to work for volume keys only. Rooted/Running LOS ROM
Remapping the power button seems like such a bad idea to me. What happens if you need to reboot?

Why? What does your "home" button do? On my Nova launcher, home button takes me immediately to home screen and much easier/faster than trying to double tap fingerprint sensor, which currently turns off/on display.
Or long tapping, which currently gives you reboot options.
Remapping power button seems like an answer in search of a problem, which would cause more problems?

Home button takes me to home screen as well, which is usually where I want to go. If I'm holding the phone it's much easier to press a physical button to get back. I rarely reboot, so could do away with that. On my G3, I had all the buttons on the back mapped to pull up assistant, go back, go to home screen using single/double/short/long taps. It was MUCH faster to do that. Anyway, I like it, it existed before, I want to know if I can get it back.

So found a program called "powy". It can intercept the power button keypress and then trigger tasker. It can't distinguish long v. short press, but you can program power button to trigger by pressing 1x/2x/3x/etc. Not as good as xposed additions (which hasn't been updated since MM), but functional and better than nothing.
