I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a app to change the button that powers up the phone out of sleep.
Normally you press the power button and then unlock drag with your finger.
I would love to see it changed to the optical button press, as it's the only feature of the iphone i like
maybe you can use Screen Mode Widget ,change it's state to 'Awake Stay',then the device will not screen lock but will dim(press any button will awake the screen).Try it

Slide function doesnt seem to work.
I usually press the optical button or home button the im able to slide the screen to unlock, do not think this is implemented coz then the display will turn on and off if you fx has it a pocket.
If you press any button does the screen come to life? I mean are you able to unlock device? if so then it works

I've also used LockBot Free cuz I don't really like the HTC lock screen. How ever I stop using it because it wakes my phone with any button I press and I tense to hit the volume rocker all the time. but it is a good alternative.
Anybody tried this method from desire topic? (root needed)

Is there any way to modify the Double Home Tap on the AT&T SGS2? I removed the Voice Command, and actually installed the "better" version of Vlingo Voice Assist (since it support Bluetooth much better). Like to link the double tap back to Vlingo Voice Assist.
You can map it to the long press and hold of search.
Yes, I have that mapped to GO SMS Quick Compose
Please stay on topic. Again.. Double Tap on Home

For someone asking for help, you seem to be a little condescending... He was offering you a suggestion to accomplish almost the same thing, since AFAIK, you cannot change the double-home assignment.
Come on guys, it was a specific request to map the double tap home key. Yes the advice was good, and should be appreciated, but it was off topic.
Galaxy Nexus
Android Version: 4.2.2
Steps to reproduce the problem:
- plug in headset
- lock screen
- press headset button for several seconds
What happened:
- No reaction, Google Now / Voice Actions not launched
- Manually unlock screen
- Long press with unlocked screen correctly launches Voice Search
What you think the correct behaviour should be:
Long press of headset button should launch Google Now / Voice Actions even with locked screen. Having to dig the phone out of your pocket in order to launch Voice Actions with a headset e.g. to place a call kinda defeats the purpose of using Voice Actions in the first place.
Adding insult to injury: long press is not broadcast to other applications because of Google Now, so it can't even be put to good use e.g. as volume control.
This was open and ignored by code.google.com Issue 48616
I also have the same problem. The restriction is not due to the lockscreen, apparently. If you disable the option "Power button immediately locks screen" and set "Automatically lock screen after sleep" time to a long enough time, still the long press doesn't work.
It works fine only when screen is on and unlocked. Weird. There is no point of this shortcut if our phone is unlocked and on, because in such a scenario, if headset is connected and phone is awake and unlocked, it means the phone is in our hands. And if it is in our hands, we can just press the button on the Search widget instead of long pressing the headset button. This is pathetic.

I'm affected by this as well.. I love calling upon Google Now from the headset, but sucks that I have to first unlock the screen on the Nexus 4 to do this. I'm OK with this being off by default, but users should be offered an option to turn this on while screen is locked.

Android apparently wants you looking at the screen so you can see the advertisements, so much for being the "open" OS.
So, guys, still no solution to fix this???

You can enable it by, either
1) setting the unlock pattern to none(that will completely disable locksreen, and you can use the google now feature even in screen off)
2) setting the unlock to any pattern and uncheck the "power button instantly locks screen" - in this way you can use the the feature withing the time you specify in the lock screen

Sorry, I have the same problem, I tried this, but this doesn't work...
Any ideas?

Me too
I'm also in the boat of wanting to access Google now while the phone sits in my pocket and I'm wearing headphones. I can kinda understand why they disallow this (so a thief can't make calls on your dime), but it'd be very nice to at least launch apps.
Even xposed's app settings, with Google search allowed to show on the lock screen, doesn't make it happen. I just get a message saying I need to unlock my phone.
The only idea I currently have to launch it over the lock screen is to use auto voice with Tasker. Perhaps I could get it to launch/listen with a triple tap (because long press is locked up by Google now) via degauss. I just hope it all works over the lock screen. I'll update if/when it happens.

I found a fix for this (yes I know this is old but anyway). You have to install the xposed module "xposed additions" and set the long press headset button to unlock the phone. when the phone is unlocked you can simply long press the button again and google voice search will come up. this way you have to long press the button twice but at least it works

thanks spiderflash, this would work but fully unlocks the phone instead of just the Google now search, guess we have to wait for google to fix it.
I've got it
I've developed a good way to do this now. I've had it for the past 2 months or so, but I was waiting until I could go 2 weeks without a hitch.
You need 4 apps: tasker, secure settings, headset button controller and (if you don't for some reason have it) Google Now.
1. Tell hbc to perform a Tasker task (whatever you want to name it, e.g. 'launch voice search') for 3 clicks
2. Task should do the following: turn screen on, keep screen on at least 15 seconds, launch Google voice search [this is where you say your command, e.g. 'play some music'], lock screen, turn screen off.*
If you want to make this slightly less complex, you can simply have it turn the screen on, then you have to manually say 'OK Google,' then say your voice command (as long as you have Google Now available from the lock screen), but I'm trying to get directly to voice search, which won't launch directly if the screen is locked.
For some reason clicking the headset button 3 times sometimes doesn't trigger the first time after you plug in your headset (but works fine once it's triggered the first time until you unplug and re plug). Sometimes you need to do it twice if you don't hear the little Google Now voice beep.
So I hope this helps, but if you develop a better way to do this, please let me know.
* This is because, before I added this, motion in my pocket with the screen on caused it to swipe to the camera, where it will not turn off by itself. It stayed on for a good half hour in my pocket that day.
I have found the solution.
I had three Assist Apps . When I long pressed headset button while screen unlocked, it asked me to choose between Google, Autovoice and Tasker Secondary. I chose Google. From there on Assistant wakes up on long press headset button when screen is on.
When the screen is off, and you long press the headset button the same options popup but you don't see because screen is locked. Now Assistant can't run untill you set the default assist app on lockscreen.
Solution:
Lock your screen.
Long press headset button.
Within 3 sec pressing quickly unlock the phone.
You will see the dialogue asking to choose assist app.
Choose google.
Solved.
The Truesmart buttons on the side seem to only have one function (on/off for top, back for bottom) but is there a way to reassign a function to these buttons? Like long press for settings or volume or home screen?
The reason I ask is, if I'm using music or Maps I have to hit the back button four or five times to get back to the home screen to do something else, like adjust volume. This also undoes anything that's going on in the app I'm "backing" out of. Anyone have a solution?

All In One Gestures (app) is your answer - install from Play Store.
Allows you to configure swipes (and volume bar) .

THANK YOU! You are awesome, this solved my problem. It was driving me nuts to not have a home button!
Hi,
My phone frequently goes into silent mode due to accidental long press of the shortcut button (left side physical key) which is very annoying. Furthermore, I have lost many important calls.
I already disabled the shortcut button but the long press function is still putting my phone into silent mode.
Is it possible to disable or remove long press function of the shortcut button?
Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem. Must be a function

I got a simple solution:
Just install an app volume lock (you can find in google play store).
When you lock a volume, pressing a key won't change the volume of sound.
