I was wondering if there was a way to use the home button as an app drawer? For example pressing the home button on the home screen would function as a app drawer instead of having to press an on-screen button to do so.

Possible with other launchers available from the play store.
Oh thanks, is there possibly a way to make that work using touch wiz launcher? I prefer the whole touchwiz look and feel, but for now I'll try some other launchers :cyclops:

Is it possible to change the way the home button acts? I dislike the way when you hit the home button it puts the current app into a background process. Could we change it so like an iPhone the home button fully closes an app when pressed?

Excuse me, but I believe the iPhone puts the process to background too.
Right now im using the cynogenmod 7 KANG's version, when you go to the USB settings there is a option to fully close an app by holding the back button. You can also customize the home/menu button using that rom.

Thanks man! I've found the option in the application development but how do i customise it further?
Proberly a dumb question but is there a setting that will make my gs3s home button always send me to my FIRST home screen? Pressing home button from some apps or tasks sends me to the home screen I was previously on being sometimes my 2nd or 3rd home screen...... But I want the first one to show up!!!
press it again.
Yeah I know but I mean directly first time.... Any ideas?

If you're using touchwiz it sends you to your default home screen. If you're using a replacement launcher, just change your default home screen
U can install other Launchers like Apex Launcher.
Find it on Google Play.
Nope doesn't always send me to my default depending on what home screen i was on. I tried go launcher but does the same problem! I guess I'll just have to press home twice if there's no specific setting

Any easy way to change functions of things like home/menu buttons, if for example I want to quickly pull up task manager without having to long press home. I find that to be tedious.

Here is an app that can launch apps by pressing home button twice.

Meh, I'd rather a single press for task manager, or better yet.. menu key and then hold for menu. I don't need hold menu for search.
Nova launcher lets you do what you please with menu and home buttons, for long and short press

Thanks for that recommendation, I'm using that nova as my default launcher. But it still doesn't really do what I'm looking for. It only works while on desktop and doesn't have a tap menu feature. I need something global. Hope I'm not being too picky lol

If you're rooted, you can edit the function of the home button pretty easily.

If you use that tutorial above, you'll see the properties of the keys. I enabled the on screen keys, disabled the capacitive keys, and remapped the home button to launch the camera instead of being a home button.
I have been looking everywhere but I still have yet to find anything. I have a galaxy note 2 and I enabled the on screen buttons, disabled the capacitive buttons and would love to remap the hardware home button to open !utter while my on screen buttons work normally fine. Is there anyway I can do this? I have tried button remapper but there's no option for apps only core functions such as home, back, menu, etc.

Nova Launcher
try the Nova Launcher app. I'm too new to be allowed to post a link to it...
I just got my Note II and I am not happy with what I see when I long press the home button. I wish that recent apps would only show up as icons, with both icons and screens showing, it takes a hell of a lot of scrolling to get to the app I want. Is there any solution to this that involves long press on home button but just looks...well smaller?
