Find a watch face that has a settings button on it. Couple of ours for example, Extreme Energy and Burning Skull Fit have settings buttons. [emoji6]

I've tried nearly every multitasking switcher on the market and I still cant find one that works correctly. Is there a switcher that goes to ADW on single tap home and goes to the switcher on either long press or double tap?
heres a list of what I've tried (issues are in parentheses)
powerstrip (too small, single tap access)
Quickdesk pro (doesn't work, makes screen flash black and go crazy)
perfect task switcher (single tap access, wonky)
MultiTask Manager (single tap access)
TaskOS (no home button setting)
Underground (takes over the screen, isn't really a task switcher,ugly list)
Appswipe (clunky, ugly, paid to set to home button)
Softkeys- Would be awesome, if I could get the settings to work as advertised (see below)
Prehome (best task switcher BUT single tap access)
Softkeys:
Softkeys has an option for setting single tap home (ADW) and then an option for long press home (PreHome). This would be the perfect solution, but for some reason the long press home doesn't work no matter what I do. Any Ideas?
The Ideal task switcher for me would be anything simple (a bar or box with icons) that could be brought up with double or long click home. If you know of any I'd love to try them out.
I would like to figure this out as well. Haven't seen anything about it around here

Softkeys works for me, I have it set for single tap home and double tap softkeys. I don't believe Softkeys supports long button presses, I think that option is referring to the virtual home button that Softkeys presents on screen when called up.

Yes, it does not support long press on the physical button, that would be nice... As said above, it's a long-tap on the Home button on the popup.
Any ideas if we are using button Savior instead of soft keys?

Powerstrip does single or double tap. I currently have mine setup with ADW EX. Single tap to Homescreen and double tap to invoke.
I might use power strip then, is there a way to make it larger? As for the long press on home, hopefully we'll see cm on the nc
EDIT:
I got powerstrip working pretty well, but as I said before I wouldn't mind it being slightly bigger, also the "recent apps" folder has a few issues of its own. When a large game (or grooveshark) is in the recent apps and you try to launch it you get an "activity no found" error.
I found PreHome to work best.
I have the physical button mapped to PreHome, then when have PreHome open SoftKeys.
I like button savior. It pull the last 6 apps that u have used when you long press the soft home button.

You may want to check out Taskswitcher (free). Once set up it uses single press on physical home key to invoke recent apps list and allows you to set up your own home app for double tap. Long press is not supported I don't think. If anyone knows of apps that allow setting long press actions (recent apps or otherwise) please share. I did notice in the DEV forum that someone made a custom Froyo version with custom home button behavior including long press so maybe someone could share how to set that up in 2.1 if thats possible.

Thanks for this tip! I replaced SK with BS a day or two after rooting, and had no idea this functionality was built into BS!
If you turn off the sk service check mark you can double press the nook button and still use bs

SK Service is the SoftKeys service. If it's running, you get a curly arrow in a circle that allows you to bring up the home, back, menu, and search buttons. It should be installed by default if you autonooter. Otherwise, it's available in the Dev section of the forum.
When I double click on the apps button (not the home button) of my Atrix, it starts an app.
Does anybody know how to change the app which is starting with this double click?
hu?
Buttons are:
Menu - Home - Back - Search.
To change double tapp home, you need to go in the Settings, then applications.

In the home screen there is a button to open the app menu. That's the button I'm referring to.
Yes, and this directly opens the app drawer with a single click.
So you are clicking the app icon located at the same location of the button.

Thanks, you are right.
i think you can change it in settings
I'm not looking for soft keys, I want to change the buttons on the bottom of the phone to do different things. Like this (nexus layout):
Left Menu Button ---> Back Button
Middle Home Button <---> Home Button
Right Back Button ---> Recent Apps (multitasking)
Is this possible?
Many custom Roms support this

This is the best answer ever.
xD
Those are terrible answers....
Anyway, if I manage to do what I want with the buttons then there's no more "menu button".
Will apps automatically have the "3 dot" menu or will there be no menu at all?
In light of the fact that the links I provided you with (even if it is in a humorous manner) are of no interest to you, I don't really see I can do anything else for you
It is easy, just edit some files

That's could be a problem.
1. Change to AOSP
2. Keep menu button and long home for recent

I am used to holding down the home button on the past 5 years worth of devices to show the past apps.
Any way you could change it on this phone?

Yes. Outside of development, there's a way to accomplish this on the user end.
What you'll need:
- Tasker (paid app - worth every penny)
- Assistant Event for Tasker
- Autoshortcut
- Nova Launcher (you don't need to switch to it/start using it; you only need it installed)
What to do:
- Open Tasker
- Create a new profile
- Select State from the list
- Choose Plugin
- Select Assistant Event for Tasker
- Select Edit, and it should automatically enable
- Press back, then select New Task (you can skip entering a task name)
- Add an action (tap the plus symbol at the bottom of the screen)
- Select Plugin, then Autoshortcut
- Tap Edit, and scroll down to Nova Launcher; select it.
- On the next screen, you should see Recent Apps as an option; select it.
- Hit back several times until you've exited the Tasker app.
- Long press home and select Assistant Event for Tasker as the default.
- Done - Long press home now opens recent apps.

It's just a double tap of the home button to get past apps instead of holding
I use Resurrection Remix on my RN3P and Mi5s+, but also like to use MIUI occasionally. Is there a way have a long press of the home key to turn off the display? It's a very useful option in Resurrection Remix.
I use the app Buttons Remapper to switch the back and recent apps keys, but there's no option to turn off the display using the home key.

On RR you can assign long press to turn off display in Hardware keys but that's not possible with MIUI , only option is to use screen lock icon on home screen n hit it to off display

I use Nova launcher but discovered that it has its own screen off widget, which works. Thanks for that.

If you're on Nova launcher you can enable gestures & assign something like Double tap , long tap on home screen to Lock screen that'll be easier [emoji6]
