[2013-07-21] A Google User: Thanks Thought I needed this functionality and found it. Great job. |
|
[2013-07-17] A Google User: Doesn't work on Galaxy S3 I followed the directions to the letter. Made Home2 the default launcher with Nova as the launcher for single press. Nothing. Double pressing home still brings up S Voice. All other settings fail to stick, too. I don't get it. Lots of good reviews around here so clearly it's working for many. |
|
[2013-07-17] A Google User: Solid so far! Does exactly what its supposed to! If you're using it to replacing s-voice with google voice search on a samsung device, remember to disable the s-voice shortcut in the s-voice settings or both will try to launch at the same time. |
|
[2013-07-13] A Google User: S3 Wow Real excellent Real perfect Very useful specially for CyanogenMOD. |
|
[2013-07-12] A Google User: Sweet Very nice. Set Google Voice Search on the double tap. Bye bye S Voice. |
|
[2013-07-09] A Google User: Doesnt work S4 doesnt work |
|
[2013-07-08] A Google User: Nice, but... Could you get the Launcher out of the multitasking center? Also add home+multitask or some press and holds... |
|
[2013-07-08] A Google User: Should be built in to Android Thank you I am able to re allocate my home button on the GS3 as Google Now. (Or whatever customization I want.) Thank you |
|
[2013-07-07] A Google User: uninstall cannot even get to my settings or home screen to uninstall this app..very frustrating..dunno how to use it and at this point it seems to have taken over my phone so all i see when i turn it on is this app..went to help and there is no unistall directions..Samaung galaxy 3 |
|
[2013-07-04] A Google User: Works exactly as advertised I used it to swap s voice for Dragon assistant which is much better |
|
[2013-07-03] A Google User: Beware of Junk Locks up home button to this app no matter what you do! Steer clear |
|
[2013-07-03] A Google User: Meh... It works, but if you have a custom launcher with options for home button actions it overrides them. Not worth losing a bunch of functionality just to double click home. Thanks Cnet for that advice... |
|
[2013-07-03] A Google User: Very good app Useful and simple to use but it does override the lock screen (could be to do with using a custom locker app though). |
|
[2013-07-03] A Google User: Excellent Work very well on lg optimus 4x HD. It make me save a lot of time, thanks a lot ! I was searching for an app like that for a long time, that one work well and have a lot of shortcut possibility ! |
|
[2013-07-03] A Google User: Great but flawed Really affected performance of phone but loved what it did. Uninstalled because it slowed phone too much |
|
[2013-07-02] A Google User: Works flawlessly! I use the double tap on home key for Google Now, and Home key + back key to launch a spy camera app (spy camera open source) :) |
|
[2013-07-02] A Google User: Doesn't work on my note 8 Garbage |
|
[2013-07-01] A Google User: Could be better When I close an app it laggs and the app laggs my phone |
|
[2013-06-30] A Google User: Great app Works as intended |
|
[2013-06-29] A Google User: S voice At first i had problems with doble tapping. The phone launches "s voice". But whent to s voice-settings-disable start from home button and everything works super. Thanks |
|
[2013-06-29] A Google User: Does what it says once you get it working The instructions aren't entirely clear - for Galaxy S3 you do not need to disable the entire S Voice app. What you need to do is disable the home key activation in its settings. Then everything works. If you just disable S Voice, then Home2 Shortcut fails to launch apps. Now everything works great. |
|
[2013-06-25] A Google User: Nice Good app to replace the S Voice function and add something more interesting like Google now |
|
[2013-06-16] A Google User: More shortcut This application is quite powerful but it would be even better that if I has more shortcuts for us to course from. For example, triple press the home button something like this. |
|
[2013-06-15] A Google User: Perfect for launching Google Now on Galaxy S4 I used a Galaxy Nexus for over a year and loved it but upgraded to the GS4. I was disappointed there wasn't an easy way to launch google now on the S4. Sure you could hold the home button then press G after the menu pops up, but i missed the simplicity of swipe up. Enter Home2Shortcut. It lets you configure a double tap to launch google now (or any app). Exactly what I needed, works great and haven't seen any issues with it. |
|
[2013-06-14] A Google User: Not working I followed the instructions and S-Voice all pops up. Not working for me |
|
[2013-06-10] A Google User: Works great |
|
[2013-06-09] A Google User: Nice!!! Super nice app! Shortcuts are always better! |
|
[2013-06-07] A Google User: Very useful Those who don't have soft keys it's very useful for launching Google now |
|
[2013-06-07] A Google User: Didn't work on the S4 Tried every setting. .. Double tap simply didn't respond. Also while docked my home button no longer takes me to the docking home screen. I have not been able to fix this issue even after uninstalling the program. I am on the galaxy s4 |
|
[2013-06-03] A Google User: Awesome Simple, not elegant, but gets the job done. Thanks! |
|
[2013-06-01] A Google User: Doesn't work A reinstall fixed it right up. The app works beautifully. |
|
[2013-06-01] A Google User: Love it |
|
[2013-05-30] A Google User: Great App What I have been looking for. It have been working for all thr android phones I have used. Unfortunately, it's not working for the HTC one. Its Because of the rules android imposed on having a software menu button. If you can fix that, it's perfect. |
|
[2013-05-28] A Google User: Does exactly what I want Double tap home button on my galaxy s3 launches google now. |
|
[2013-05-25] A Google User: Yes! No more svoice! |
|
[2013-05-24] A Google User: Home button lag Good app apart from the fact that my home button Lags when I use it. |
|
[2013-05-24] A Google User: Great for full voice search Set up so my parrot mki9100 activates Google Now at the push of a button. "navigate to home", "play Daft Punk" etc. Its great! |
|
[2013-05-23] A Google User: Did just what I needed I wanted to reassign my home button from Svoice to Google now, and it did just that... Thanks!! |
|
[2013-05-23] A Google User: Perfect |
|
[2013-05-22] A Google User: Works but On Galaxy S4 go into svoice settings and uncheck launch with double press home |
|
[2013-05-20] A Google User: A must have Simply put. A tad tricky to follow but give it about 5 mins to figure out and you'll be glad you did. |
|
[2013-05-18] A Google User: Does the job Love this app! |
|
[2013-05-18] A Google User: Very nice and handy on Galaxy Note2. Pls add more keys feature (power , volumes) will be added advantage to this apps. |
|
[2013-05-17] A Google User: Wow I've been looking for a method for remapping the home key for hours and finally found this one. Surprisingly it hasn't been updated in years and still works on my samsung as s4 |
|
[2013-05-15] A Google User: Works great! This is what I want. Tnx bro. |
|
[2013-05-14] A Google User: I would pay for this app! This adds functionality to my home button. Now instead of S Voice, i can open up Google by double tapping! |
|
[2013-05-14] A Google User: This is a solid app. This app does just what it says it will plus more. |
|
[2013-05-14] A Google User: I LOVE IT Thank you |
|
[2013-05-14] A Google User: Love it Thx |
|
[2013-05-13] A Google User: Love it! I wish there were more long-press options Fanastic app! And I think there are few that could top it. I've had it for a few days on my s3 and couldn't be happier. Folks have said the app overrides the lockscreen, but I haven't had that problem. |
|
[2013-05-12] A Google User: Perfect! Google Now instead of S Voice! |
|
[2013-05-11] A Google User: Fantastic app I wanted to use this app to make a home double tap go directly to Dragon. It worked like a charm. |
|
[2013-05-10] A Google User: Great for shortcut Used to quickly open my camera. Good app. |
|
[2013-05-09] A Google User: Always asks? Every time I single press my home key it asks me what I want to open it with. I set it as the default every single time yet it keeps asking me. |
|
[2013-05-07] A Google User: Awesome! |
|
[2013-05-06] A Google User: Exactly what I wanted I wanted to replace S-Voice on my S3 from a double tap with Google Now. This app worked perfectly. I ended up switching the shortcut to Google voice search instead. Completely happy with this app. |
|
[2013-04-24] A Google User: Lag I was using this app for a while, I just uninstalled it and have found the my Note 2 has dramatically less lag. Not only when going to the home screen (since it is not waiting for the second click) but also in launching apps and displaying the keyboard. |
|
[2013-04-19] A Google User: Super convenient Did just what I was looking to do replacing my home key shortcut, instructions are a little jumbled though, also effects started after a restart |
|
[2013-04-13] A Google User: Great application It does what it says on the box. |
|
[2013-04-10] A Google User: Galaxy Note 2 and 2013 Suburban Switched to a Galaxy Note 2 from a Droid X. No comparison here. Samsung much more user friendly and such a better phone. Had a Droid Razr Maxx Hd also. Bad experience here. My suburban hands free calling would not work. Downloaded this app. Which cancels S voice and makes Google Voice your default. Simply works without a problem. . Step 1) Go into the S Voice settings and uncheck the Launch SVoice box. Control Apps: turn off(use voice commands to control device. . Step 2) Install Home2 Shortcut from the Play Store . Step 3) Open Home2 Shortcut and configure it to launch the app of your choosing with a double tap of the home button. edited for Note 2 Step 3a) Open Home2 and under settings step 1 ....Choose Application --> Installed applications --> Voice Search --> OK Step 3b) Scrolled down to step 2 and selected "Short" Step 3c) Scrolled down to step .... Choose Home Application --> Touch Wiz home Step 3d) Scroll down to step 4 and click the "Close button" .... Clicked Home Shortcut --> Always --> Ok Now remember you will have to do this again if you do a hard reset or pull the battery as this will cause it to reset to s voice |
|
[2013-04-04] A Google User: I love it This is just what I needed to access Google Now with a double tap while running CM10 on my Samsung Galaxy S3. I just don't like the lag. |
|
[2013-04-03] A Google User: Excellent! I like this app because I can launch Google Now by double tapping the home button instead of launching Samsung's S Voice app. Thanks!! |
|
[2013-04-01] A Google User: It works! Unlikr the terrible A******* H*** *****n app, it works properly as I hoped. Thanks! |
|
[2013-03-31] A Google User: Does what I need it to No more s voice, double tap home for google now :) |
|
[2013-03-25] A Google User: Great idea!! Works nicely. |
|
[2013-03-22] A Google User: amazing app! i recommend using this together with button remapper.. |
|
[2013-03-21] A Google User: 10 stars Does what it says |
|
[2013-03-20] A Google User: Not Working Doesn't work for the 4G LG Motion. |
|
[2013-03-16] A Google User: Stopped Working I used to love this app, but recently it's stopped working. Pressing home > back doesn't launch my app anymore. Idk why. Still a great app though, hopefully the problem is fixed! |
|
[2013-03-09] A Google User: Ok app I mean it is a great app but the thing is when you do something and go back to the home screen it lags a little (what I mean is it loads the clock and the apps on the home screen) and it isn't as fluid as touchwiz originally is by it self and it isn't worth whatever your trying to do for me at least. |
|
[2013-02-27] A Google User: Great but... I really like this app. S voice is such a pain and I like being able to launch Google search/now instead. However, I don't use the other shortcuts, but every so often I'll brush the menu or back key, which instead of doing nothing opens up the home2 app. Add an option to disable the other short cuts and I'll make it 5 stars. |
|
[2013-02-27] A Google User: superb app I have just installed, an working lke a charm on XXLSZ N7000 |
|
[2013-02-20] A Google User: Amazing This app is amazing. It allowed me to replace s-voice with the far superior google voice. Thank you developers. |
|
[2013-02-17] A Google User: Awesome! Just what I've been looking for. I disabled S voice on my s3 and wanted to reassign double tap home to Google voice search and this app works like a charm. It even works while in another application. No need to go to the home screen first. Thanks! |
|
[2013-02-16] A Google User: It works perfectly with one exception.. Works exactly as you want it to only drawback which is not the fault of this app but "touch wiz" is a lag when hitting the home button from another screen. |
|
[2013-02-13] A Google User: :( The double tap feature is bugged for me. It doesn't work. |
|
[2013-02-10] A Google User: Perfect This app is perfect for my galaxy s3. I can now use the home button to launch Google Voice Search instead of Samsung s voice. |
|
[2013-02-10] A Google User: Excellent - but setup is a little confusing setting up this app is a little confusing, but once done it works fine. I use it to fire up Voice Speed Dial from Cyberon Corp - using Galaxy S3 Mini |
|
[2013-02-06] A Google User: Awesome on Note Used to replace S-Voice with Dragon and works flawlessly ! |
|
[2013-02-03] A Google User: Great app Let me replace that crappy s voice with Google on my gs3...much happier with my phone now |
|
[2013-01-27] A Google User: Nice app but... I still can't seem to keep S voice from running when I double tap home on my S3.. About 8o percent of the time it opens S voice, no matter what app I set it for :/ |
|
[2013-01-23] A Google User: Great Great idea and app. Works well! |
|
[2013-01-20] A Google User: Great Little app The only issue I have with it is that you get bypass the lock screen using it. I.e. Whatever app you have set for double tap of home button will launch even if security lock is enabled. |
|
[2013-01-17] A Google User: Really cool I replaced the crappy S Voice with Google Now using this app. |
|
[2013-01-14] A Google User: app works, does not hide I could not get to the home screen. Pressing HOME just displayed this app. Couldn't even get to settings to remove it until I assigned a key to start app manager to deinstall. |
|
[2013-01-08] A Google User: Perfect app. Quick, easy, done. It works! |
|
[2013-01-07] A Google User: Doesn't work anymore Doesn't work anymore like it used to. Doubt tap still opens s voice (not Google voice) Please fix! |
|
[2013-01-03] A Google User: Galaxy S III Nice, very nice. Easy to use and it does, what it do, well. |
|
[2013-01-02] A Google User: :^) Works great. Love using Google now instead of s-voice. |
|
[2012-12-31] A Google User: App won't hide! Good idea,but Scary! On my GS3 it worked great until I did a restart. Then I could not get to the home screen. Pressing HOME just displayed this app. Couldn't even get to settings to remove it until I assigned a key to start app manager to deinstall. |
|
[2012-12-26] A Google User: Good, but auto kills launcher I use the semi circle swipe to lock the screen. Sometimes the launcher crashes & the transition effect from app drawer to home screen is gone. |
|
[2012-12-24] A Google User: Jelly bean Doesn't work with Verizon s3 |
|
[2012-12-24] A Google User: Works Perfectly On My S3! Maybe some functionality on other hardware keys for the S3? |
|
[2012-12-24] A Google User: Google now > S voice Finally able to get Google now search with a double tap of the home button |
|
[2012-12-24] A Google User: Does exactly what its suppose to do. Using S3 and Does exactly what its suppose to do. |
|
[2012-12-23] A Google User: The good and the bad Does exactly what it says, but kills batteries |
|
[2012-12-20] A Google User: Great function with huge performance hit Tried this on my galaxy s3 to enable google now on double pressing home screen. After installation phone was very sluggish, home screens taking a few seconds to refresh, application list taking a few seconds to open. Uninstalled and problems weny away. |
|
[2012-12-19] A Google User: Awesome! With this app it is Goodbye S-Voice and Hello Google Now. Double click home and wa la new/improved Google Voice Search |
|
[2012-12-18] A Google User: Very useful! This is great for phones that have less-than-optimal default options for the hardware keys. The very slight delay takes getting used to, especially on Jelly Bean, but it has never been a hindrance. I like my phone much more with this app, and I didn't even need to root it! |
|
[2012-12-18] A Google User: Amazing It allowed me to replace s voice with google now for my double tap home button without rooting my phone! |
