[Q]Google now in recent apps - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is the a way to see the extra bar on the recent apps that appears on stock ROM in a CM 10.2 ROM?
I really miss that feature, to search in google now just by long pressing the home button and to be able to see all the recent apps.
Edit: I found a way, by double tap home button

[Q] Longpress Home Google Now changeable ?

Sup,
When you longpress the Home button you can swipe it up to the Google Now.
I don't really like this Google Now. It would be way better if you could start any App via Home button. i.e Camera.
So does anyone know of a fix/hack/mod to change Google now ?

You're right. But Longpress also works ^^
Ah well, I'll wait for official 4.2 and switch toa custom ROM then.
Hey @Haldi4803
I suggest you take a look at the excellent Slide Launcher which allows for launching multiple custom actions, including camera app, quicktext a contact, etc.
If all you want is launch a single app, no question asked, you may use Home Button Launcher
that looks awesome! Thx dude!

[Q] How to disable the long press of home button,that triggers recent apps?

Hi guys,
I have a faulty home button that randomly triggers recent apps dialog (by long pressing of home button) even if iam not pressing the home button. Its not rom related i tried it. So I want to change the behaviour of phone when long pressing of home button to do nothing on this long press. This feature was possible in CM 10, where you can change the behaviour of hardware buttons. So i want to change the behavior of long press home button to do nothing. I have a rooted pnone of course and 2.3.6. Based rom by nkvi71 (see signature). Is it possible somehow? Thanks for your tips.
Btw i cant change it thru any launcher. For example if I change this in Holo launcher to do nothing on long press of home button, the Rom ignores this settings. And i cant use nova launcher because i have a gingerbread rom. Is there a fix for it?
Use cm7.
It gives you the feature to change it

Thanks for your tip i tried this rom based on CM7.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2234221 but no luck. In CyanogenMod settings i click on input - 3rd choice) and then I click on 'long press of home button' and then I untick 'Show recent apps' but no luck they still appear on long press of home button even if it is disabled also on holo launcher. Do you know any specifuc cm7 rom that offers explicitly to do nothing on long press of home button? Or am I doing something wrong??

Task switcher in lollipop

I suddenly feel like a total noob. I've just upgraded to stock lollipop.
I can't decide whether it is a bug after upgrade or whether I don't have a clue.
I cannot access recent apps. I've tried double tapping the home button, sliding up from the home button, (thought that was the Google Now shortcut) and neither seem to do anything. I really miss task switcher. Can someone tell me whether I'm doing anything wrong, or is there a bug in the stock rom?
Many thanks,
Can anyone just confirm that I should be switching between recent apps by double tapping the home physical button on stock lollipop?
Thanks

Yes double tap home takes you to the recent apps

How do I customize the Menu/Recent button in CM13

I just recently flashed the CM13 and I found out the recent apps has to be accessed using the home button! I prefer the original lollipop button layout so I went searching around and found the 'Button' option in the settings and I was able to customise the home button, power button and the volume rocker but there was no option to customise the menu key to use it to access the recent apps!
I searched the settings for Menu and it showed up there but when I tap it, it goes back to the 'Button' options but it doesn't appear anywhere in there.
What do I do?
Same here, its frustrating. Do you have solved your problem?

Any way to disable the home button depending on the app?

I did a few searches and installed a few apps but everything I have done so far didn't work or didn't work very well.
Just want to ask because i keep hitting the button thus closing my apps which is annoying, particularly the camera app.
Or maybe have at least a double tap the home button to go back or go to home screen etc.
Thanks
