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!

First off I'm new to the Gtab. I'm currently running Vegan 5.1. Everytime I hit my hard home button it takes me to a switchboard with four buttons. In order to get go my actual home screen I have to select the home icon. This is becoming extremely annoying hitting two buttons every time to get home. Is this normal or am I missing a setting?
What launcher are you using? There is usually a tab in the settings menu for what tapping the home key does.
I'm currently using the VLT launcher just released, but it does the same thing for stock launcher and launcher pro. I scoured the settings and can't find the home button setting. Saw it in Launcher pro but it didn't change anything. Not sure what else to try at this point.
The screen it sends me to appears to be the screen you see when you would place your phone on the dock. It has the alarm clock button, music, home, and gallery button on the bottom with only the time showing.
Button savior works correctly. Unfortunately I'm not a button savior fan. This its the only bug on my tab and its driving me nuts.
Just wanted to update. I read a lot of other Vegan users having this same issue. I ended up freezing the Clock app using Titanium and that corrected the issue. Not sure what other adverse effects that will cause but it worked for me.
Anybody have any other ideas how to fix this? I'm using TNT Lite 4.4 with Launcher Pro. I've set the home button to "Do nothing" in Launcher Pro preferences, and also checked the option that says "Home key to default screen" but neither one of those seems to have had an effect. Thanks!
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 trying to figure out a way or find a launcher or some method to get my home panels to appear so I can easily select them rather than have to scroll left or right. This might be an ICS related thing. I recall being able to hold the home button and it would do this and now when I hold the home button it shows recently closed apps. Any suggestions on how I can get that feature back? Thanks
With Apex Launcher, when on the primary Homescreen clicking the Home button again will show the available screens for selection.
Home Panels???

My mistake with the title of "home panel." I should have titled it "how to view multiple panels on one screen?" or something like that. I will try what SCClockDr suggested. Hopefully it works. I was afraid the most recent apps feature related to ICS prevented viewing all the panels simultaneously.
Thanks again
Just searched through the forums and didn't see an answer to this elsewhere although I'm sure its there. Just got my s4 (mk2 firmware) and using nova launcher. I have nova setup so that the home button always just goes to the default home screen, no alternative action. If i'm on that screen and press the home button again my app drawer comes up though. Default phone feature or something I can change?
Thanks,
Eric
For the people who is a control freak, or with broken power or home buttons, I am happy to share these two absolutely beautiful apps I have discovered.
1. Multi-action home button
http://www.google.co.in/url?q=https...7n4pkQ&usg=AFQjCNFsr2yX486-UxxUG3mGaS0z1TT6fQ
This app makes a virtual home button on the screen just above the home button. Various configurations to try. Double tap or long hold options available to set according to the user.
2. My Home button
http://www.google.co.in/url?q=https...YAjxHg&usg=AFQjCNHBABZ8kToSryvhOweLEj1UNpyu9w
This app enables a widget on the notification panel with option for home, recents and power buttons (and another one for app shortcuts ) Very handy if u r concerned about breaking ur power and home button.
And if u are handy with apktool and modding systemui, here is another option for the systemui mod. Try this link, and yes, this option requires root and works only on Samsung devices.

Thanks for the recommendations. Didn't know Multi Action Home Button. Nice app, but like so often: pulling down the notification bar doesn't work on Lolliflop anymore!

Multi action home button is bada**. Lol. I use it all the time, and my home button, I use it just to lock the phone. Using Nova launcher prime, and fortunately the swipe down gesture works for notification panel in the latest update.
