Hi!
I should probably start by pointing out that you need the Xpose Framework installed to use this! Click here for the Xpose APK and more information about it
I've been looking over the Xpose Framework recently and I've become really impressed with it. So in learning it, I went ahead and corrected a few of the things I didn't like about the stock TouchWiz ROM on our Note 2's. I thought I'd go ahead and share this mod because I think I'm not the only one who prefers google voice search over S-Voice. The best bit, though, is that long-press search is just a regular Intent that any app can answer, so you're not locked down to Google voice search either!
I've attached the HoldHome APK in the post below.
One of the other things I managed to 'correct' via Xpose was that snoopy SysScope app, incidentally. I'm a bit concerned about releasing that one though, for obvious reasons.
Hope you guys find this useful :fingers-crossed:
File attached in this post.
Will test this out after work. I have been using Home2Launcher, but would like not to... expect an edit around 2AM EST.
EDIT - unfortunately it does nothing for me, double press had no response. Disabled the home2launcher, rebooted after activating module, no luck...

Hmm. Did you disable the the S-Voice activation on home press setting in the SVoice app itself? (Menu button in the SVoice app -> Settings) You need to have that setting enabled so the mod can hijack the intent it generates.

I do not have S-Voice installed, guess this won't work for me...

Ah, there we go then. This is designed for the stock roms where S-Voice pops up if you double press the homebutton. Custom Roms would be too varied for me to target
Thank
It also gives option to other voice dialer like cyber on voice command,
Or can configure to voice calendar too.
Thank you.

Im running stock touchwiz on my Note 2, with the Xposed framework and I can't get this to work. The module is there and enabled. I have nova launcher installed but removed all gestures. I have disabled s voice option as you stated above.
Holding the home button simply brings up the multitasking menu. Double press does nothing now that I have disabled it in the s-voice settings.

Have you remapped the long press search? Long press home and you should see a magnifying glass. Hit that button and select Google Now.
Where do I remap the long press search? Like I said holding the home button simply brings up the multitasking menu. Double press the home button does nothing now that I have disabled it in the s-voice settings.
When you long press the home button and the multitasking menu comes up there should be 3 buttons at the bottom. One is a trashcan, one is to check the RAM and the middle button should be a magnifying glass. Hit that and set Google Search as your default. Here's two screenshots to show you before and after. It goes from magnifying glass to the Google logo.
Thanks works great for me ..t mobile note 2
Working as the dev says. Thanks

Works great here! Thank you!
Suggestion : upload your module onto the repo website so that it appears in the "downloads" section of Xposed 2.2...

You got it wrong... "s voice option" needs to be enabled.
Then next time you double click the home button, instead of having SVoice, you get a choice of apps which can react to a "search longpress" event (in TouchWiz ROMs, "double click the home button" = "search longpress").
For me, I could select among phone, widget locker, go sms, google now, secure settings,...
Select the app you want and click "this time" or "always" depending on what you want.
Done!
Very nice module!

Maybe I will try this out - could you set it to perform a 'secure settings' function, instead?

It seems so. But you need the PRO version of Secure Settings (which I don't have, so I cannot fully test).
Doesn't work work me. I still get the G icon instead of the magnifying glass. Svoice is enabled too.

What magnifying glass were you expecting? And where? "Long press search" is totally different than "search"...

This is the direction i'm following and i do not see the magnifying glass to set google search.
^
If you already have the G icon then you already have Google search... You don't need the magnifying glass. The magnifying glass comes up when you have S Voice disabled and nothing mapped to the search function. Disable S Voice and then use this module. Do you understand what this module is for?
My device is S6 edge tmobile. There is a circle setting button always showed up when some app's open. It''s totally useless and sometime makes the screen not working. I know some Tom disable this feature but I just want to know how to do that. Screen shot is here. Anyone knows how ?

Tools toggle -swipe down, uncheck tools toggle.
S6 only has 3 buttons. Multi tasking, home and back.. Android has a 4th button for settings and the floating 3 dots is the 4th buttons and only appears when an app has it in its code for the 4 settings button.
Other android phones that have on screen buttons also has this as part of the navigation

Are you sure you don't mean the white circle with 3 dots on the right of the screen
Yeah I mean it.. Sorry. But I know some rom can disable it. like VN 3.0. This button really buzzy me.
It's part of Lollipop for apps that haven't updated to the fact phones don't have hard menu button. App needs to be updated by Dev.

Not possible
This button acts as a replacement for the hardware menu button on older devices.
thats the menu button
It may sound a little novice, but I tried to find the option, but couldn't find any.
Is there any ways to remove the "Google Search Box" on the home screen of OPX ?
Yeah. Disable the App called "google App" and you have a beautiful black screen.

Use another launcher?
Couldn't you just hold onto the bar and remove it? If not, another launcher like Nova Launcher would be able to do it.

No, unfortunately that doesn't work with the built-in bar, only ones you add yourself as widgets.
I've found an app file called base.apk in /data/app/ com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1 - could this be changed, renamed etc as a solution for this? I'm not game to try because I don't want to break anything.
I used Debloater to uninstall the Google Search App. Than its gone. If your device is not rooted you could just try to deactivate it. I am not sure if you can do it in the Apps section in the settings but Debloater does nearly the same without root. It just deactivates the selected Apps.
Be aware that if you deactivate the app "close all running apps" button will also disapear!
Hope that helps you out.
If you want to remove the google search bar and keep the Google Now Launcher and its possibilities I only know of the following solution :
- Root your phone
- Install Xposed framework
- Install Xposed GEL Settings which has an option to hide the search bar
If you don't want to keep the Google Now functionnalities then just go with another Launcher.

If you disable Google App, you can not use close all open apps X button. :crying:

This is such a great find!!! Thanks.
Edit: however, the search bar is still present in the recent apps screen.
I lost google on tap from the application KSetting (mate 8) to change the button long press Home, but I have no way to return to Google on tap, except to erase all data from mobile, in the application I can choose a shortcut, I wanted to know if there was any activity shortcuts to open google on tap.
Erasing the KSetting app data or uninstalling that app won't fix it...? Not familiar with the app as nothing comes up in a quick Google search for it.

On Tap is part of the Google app. If you open it and go into the slide out Menu located on the top left for the Settings, you should see the option to enable it there.

But there is no assistant which I can activate

You must have the Google APP installed...It's literally impossible not to these days, try to settings via the 3 dots on the right corner of the google app, then Google Assistant and see if it's ON.

Ok I thought you mean a assistant from Huawei itself. I don't use Google I deleted it

Ok, for example Huawei doesn't have one so on their China models they have no assistant, not even Google XD
