Anyone know how to change apps instead of camera launching? Rooted and ready to go.

If you slide up from the home button there is a shortcut for google-now. Does anyone know if one can edit the shortcut?
I here this talk about launchers, how do you activate it? I'm talking the stock one that comes with the device
I'm currently running the 20120901 version of CM10 because every new NIGHTLY and EXPERIMENTAL build isn't functioning like it. In the build I have, pressing the Recent Apps button brings up the App Settings and a long press and hold on the Menu button brings up the recent Apps. In the new builds nothing I can find brings up those settings. This renders several apps I need as useless. For instance when adding a contact there is no way for me to add an email address or any other content. With no Settings button I am unable to edit the contact. I'm hoping that I am just missing something. As I find more inconsistencies I'll report them here.
Also, I thought that a function of JellyBean was the ability to access Google Now from any screen by swiping the Menu button up. This feature doesn't appear to be working either.
*Update* I fixed the problem. The CM10 version I had had the keys defaulted that I needed to use. The new version didn't. I had to map the hardware keys. Here's how in case anyone else has a similar problem. Bring up Settings -- System -- Hardware Keys -- check Enable custom actions. Change Home Key (Long Press) to Recent Apps Switcher. Change App switch key to Open/Close menu. If this thread needs to be deleted then so be it. I just wanted to make sure I shared how I fixed my own problem.
I thought I saw a video on YouTube about how dragging the menu button up brings up Google now. Is this a setting I need to activate?

please tell me how to set to go to home without home button. i could use gestures with gmd gesture control (as i have bought it) but my problem is i dont have any idea on what way to set it. if i choose double tap i have trouble while typing. if i do it by swiping down and left for exampe i have trouble while scrolling the page. please tell me another way to do it. i prefer it to be with one finger. you can tell me a way to do it with gmd app or whichever other app.
or tell me if there is a way to enable on screen navigation bar (soft keys) on note 2 jelly bean. i have tried editing the built.prop file but keep getting systemui crashes.
Hi, I'm trying to simulate a long press of the home button in order to launch 'Google now on tap' as my phone (elephone p9000, stock 6.0, rooted) has got rid of the navigation bar in favour of a single capacitive button, which uses the long press function to launch recent apps instead of Google now on tap and I can't find any other way to launch this service. You can bring the navigation bar back but this interferes with other functionality I have set up now. Can anyone please tell me either an app that can run a script to simulate the home key long press or alternatively another way to create a shortcut to launch Google now on tap as right now I'm having to go into settings reactivate the navigation bar, long press home and then deactivate it after. Not exactly streamlined! Thanks for any advice.
Would be great to be able to assign Google now on tap to the fast access Button on the left. I miss it myself and dont want to use one Screen Navigation.

There's actually 2 very straightforward ways of doing this, one of which is I thought I'd tried but obviously not very well. You can launch the Now on Tap feature by assigning it to a gesture in either LMT pie control or another 3rd party app called All In 1 Gestures. If this isn't clear just ask.
Anybody figured this? What would the shortcut show up as using a third party app. I can see Google but how would you access Google now on tap? Doesn't show up as a shortcut.

Hi guys,
Does anyone know if there is a way to change the action of pressing the physical home key when on the home screen? Currently it goes to google now, but I would like to configure it to go to app drawer since I already have google mapped to double tap and google assistant mapped to hold.
I'm on XenonHD 7.1 and open to any suggestions!
Cheers
A lot of launchers like Nova let you decide what pressing the home button will do while on the homescreen. By default for most it's the "edit" screen where you can add pages and change your wallpaper and whatnot.

You can also remake the Pixel launcher in it as well now.
I'm using Nova already! completely missed that option! thank you!
