I think is possible, but it's a complete different work...

Quickdesk dev can do it with a couple of code line :p

You can install Vlingo (is the reason because this app exists!)

I'm not sure, but I think it has all the Samsung Voice Command features (beacause Vlingo team made it), but it works better (at least with my voice) and it's more flexible.

No way to install Samsung Voice Command and homeMYhome on the same device...

look at Quickdesk (you have to use it instead of homeMyhome)

No we are talking about home BUTTON double tap

this one is long time in the market and has a better interface...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] c3k:
wooops, world is always smaller than one can think :)

my app is still slightly different: I don't replace the home application (so it can continue to work as android engineers designed), I take advantage of the service that samsung puts on his firmware just to launch the voice app (the same service that the app you report seems to irremediably kill)

...and it works from the lookscreen too!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sebarkh:
So that app kills the process and creates its own? And your app keeps this ssamsung process and makes a different use of it, right?

Edit: You convinced me. Ok, so I'm choosing your app :)

HomeMyHome on Galaxy S4 and Jelly Bean

For Jelly Bean you have to rename 2 files:

- "com.vlingo.client.samsung-1.apk" from /data/app

- "S-Voice_android_phone_J.apk" from system/app

Then install homemyhome v1.2 and restart the phone.

Tested on Galaxy S4, Andoid 4.2.2 on 19-9-13.

Use TWRP recovery

Hi,

If you have installed "TWRP recovery" and you booted in it, you can access a FileManager tool that let you play with system files. I'm currently trying to modify SystemUI.apk and this is how I test it's replacement.

Note: You might have to mount the "System" partition from "TWRP recovery" to access these files.

Note 2: I'm on Lollipop so first check if it works with JellyBean.

Hope it helps.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mastorakakis:
Thanks for your help. All I ve done so far is root my phone and all I want is to change my home button utility. I haven't changed the android version or anything else nor I want to cause if I mess things up I don't know how to change it back. Does this TWRP change anything in my phone? Can I install it then go rename that system file, then install homemyhome and then unistall TWRP? Will i be good?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] IceGothic:
TWRP recovery is a tool at root level, it just give you more access to your system's core. Installing it only changes the recovery mode of the phone (giving you more options that the stock one). It dosen't even wipe any data!

I don't know about uninstalling it though... But if you're playing with low level files like the one you mentioned, TWRP recovery is definitly a good tool to have. I guess recovering from the stock ROM using Samsung Kies or ODIN can remove TWRP recovery but you'd also lose your modifications.

JSYK: I used to play with homemyhome (and similar tweaks) back then and I think I never succeeded to make it work as I wanted it to; don't remember why.

Ps: TWRP recovery also allow to backup and restore the whole content of the phone; haven't tried it yet, but many say it works. With some work, you can even copy it to a computer.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mastorakakis:
Thanks for your time my friend. I googled about es-explorer and found out that there is an option called root explorer or something. I turned it on and finally I was able to rename the file "voice-talk_U1". I didn't find any of the other vlingo files that are mentioned. In the properties of this file there is a package name: "com.vlingo.client.samsung". So it should be the right one. So after renaming (i also moved it to another folder) i rebooted the device and then tried to install homemyhome. I got a warning that said that there is a packet with that name but different signature and the installation stopped. So any help from now on?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] c3k:
Two possibilities:

1. You have updated samsung voice through play store, you have to restore the system apk, remove updates, then disable it again

2. Samsung voice is on a different apk, you have to find it
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mastorakakis:
Just as I was about to give up I found a solution!!! Like how you suggested I went to the apps menu to check if voice was updated. Turns out it wasn't. Then I just pressed deactivate to see what would happen. Then i double pressed the home button and i got asked what app should run. Google search or cyberon voice commander which is what i wanted in the first place. Thanks guys for your time. I love the xda community. Problem solved. :good:

Holy crap, nevermond, I'm an idiot... I got long press and double tap confused... well, redownloading! :-)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] starfarer:
Thanks working great in gingerMod 0.6. Very useful, currently assigned phone. Now waiting for long press on back key ;-)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] c3k:
Here's the long explanation :) :

"Advanced Home Button" (and Quickdesk) didn't create any process, instead register theirself as home application, what this means:

- every time you press home button, those apps start, wait for a second tap and if it not comes then launch you real home app

- system trusts that those app are your home app, so it gives them higher "importance" and if you are running low of memory your real home app will be killed BEFORE it

and this is also why I don't like them and I've never used.

Samsung check for double tap at lower level, so homeMYhome don't need this workaround to start.

farther, "Advanced Home Button" screenshot on the market have a button that says "Galaxy S II Hack(Warning: Advanced user only, cannot undo)": I think it's because the Samsung service interferes with the app and need to be killed if you want to use it. Can't understand why this operation cannot be undone (Jkay seems to do it in the right way)

:confused:

I often need to take a quick picture and now I can do that.

Don´t even have to unlock my phone.

Just tap home, wait for the screen to turn on and then double tap and BAAAAM camera is up and running!

Thank you very much!!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ads7112:
You can also use one of the slider for the camera for the lockscreen ... so you could go directly to the camera with ONE touch

hi,

root is required in order to exec this app?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rodak:
How do you do it with default lockscreen?

The thing is that pressing the button is so much easier than sliding on the screen. Specially when you are stressed and want to take a quick picture of your children or dog :-P

Great, fixes the not working double press homebutton feature of appswipe. A cool and snappy animation for the short time your app is shown during launch of the selected app would be nice.

The same for me on KI8, would be great if it sticks after reboot.

Great idea this app btw, i like it alot.

For me it's working after a reboot/shutdown. I'm on CheckROM v5 / SiyahKernel 2.0b5.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Schindler33:
On CM7 you can choose what should happen when you long press the button. This is quite similar to double tapping.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] c3k:
to execute the app you don't need any permission

but you need it to remove the orignal Samsung Voice Control apk

what about long press home button ;) to map e.g. task manager :) is it possible?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] matttye:
Just what I wanted!

If I follow the instructions here to install CF-Root will I be able to delete the VoiceToGo.apk and install your app or will I need to do anything else?

I rooted my old phone but I've never rooted the SGS2, so I'm a noob about it... I don't want to install a custom ROM, literally just want to be able to change the voice control app.

Presumably this app changes what opens when a bluetooth headset is connected too? Have you tried this? I want to use "Voice Actions" off the Market instead of Vlingo when I double tap home and connect a bluetooth headset..

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] c3k:
no, you're ready!

just delete (or move it to /sdcard), reboot and install my apk, risk free

I've never used my bluetooth headset on my S2, I'll try tomorrow and let you know

EDIT: it works on bluetooth longpress too :)

you're welcome

One problem, after I choose the program that I would like to be launched, the choice seems to keep getting lost. I have to re-choose what I want to be launched on a double press.

Hi, excellent tweak, I was really fed up with VoiceTalk poping up all the time - ex-iPhone user ;) Logically I want a task manager to pop up, but I initially selected Go SMS Pro as the alternative.

I couldn't figure out how to change it to XPtask afterwards, so I uninstalled your tweak and installed it again. Then selected XPtask, but now it's opening both XPtask and Go SMS Pro - which is not that unhandy, but still, any way to fix this?

Thnx
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] c3k:
@xsillian: make sure you have last version

@gfjhavik: i think XPtask (this?) register itself on double tap, you have to search for an option to disable this behaviour. my app can't launch more than one activity at time.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gfjhavik:
Hi back again,

Sorry yeah, I mean't TaskXP.

Anyhew, I did some testing. First of all, there seems to be a flaw in TaskXP. TaskXP says it has a double tap activation function, but it doesn't work on my phone, I tried all the settings, I won't get double tap to work to activate TaskXP.

So I installed your app and choose Go SMS Pro as the double-tap-app. I couldn't find a way to change this setting to a different app, so I uninstalled and reinstalled your app (without reboot) and choose TaskXP. Both Go SMS Pro (in the back) and TaskXP (in front) would then show up everytime I double pressed home.

I then rebooted, after which only TaskXP popped up when I double pressed home. But when I now open the homeMYhome app it asks me again which app I want to activate when double pressing home (my conclusion: nothing is selected, yet TaskXP shows up). When I then choose Go SMS Pro again as the double-tap-app, only Go SMS Pro will show up.

When I then re-remove your app, double tap will produce zip, nada (TaskXP won't show up)... untill I directly, without reboot, reinstall your app once again and choose TaskXP, then both TaskXP and Go SMS Pro will pop up again.

I'm not drunk, this is really happening :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 1xinfusion:
My settings reset every now and then. homeMyhome asks me for my choice of app.

running latest version.

btw it would be a great feature to be able to run tasker tasks. or shortcuts (like the add shortcut button on launchers)

If you can add long-press home button support, this would be the best app ever!!!!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] InnAl:
That's a nice small app. Very handy. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] maeman:
Is this app somehow disguising itself as VoiceToGo so that the system launches it when it thinks it should launch VoiceToGo?

Whether that or homeMYhome is a cracked/moded VoiceToGo since it has such an amount of permissions that makes one think they are inherited from VoiceToGo...

Whichever the case, the same thing could be done with Google Search so one could choose what to launch at long pressing the menu key (the key on the left)... that would be AWESOME!!!

and again the same trick could be done for replacing TouchWitz launcher for the home key long press... but, TW is not as trivial as GS, and I for one find the default behavior quite useful.

BTW, homeMYhome does not work on my stock rom, so i wonder whether this is my fault for deleting plenty of stock apps (any dependency known?) or that my rom is odexed, or too old (KE2)

How to integrate this with Tasker someone asked. I have not tested but defining homeMYhome as an Application context is a good starting point, and if that fails, have hmh to launch an app that does nothing but killing itself and define it as context in Tasker.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] iRichardLS:
Hi!

Hi c3k,

You are able to make homemyhome to replace VoiceToGo.apk, can you make one for the stock camera apk to replace VoiceToGo then? I think most of the people want to open camera when double tap the home button.

i have tried this by decompiling, replacing, compiling, signing, installing as system apk (since google quick search is a system app) but first of all it doesn't do anything when long-pressing search :p and secondly when i start the app directly it FC. i expected it to not be so easy :rolleyes:
