I just got KitKat 4.4.2 on my GS4. Lets see what it brings.

I was able to get this done using nova
1. Disabled S Voice
2. opened nova setting
3. go into gestures and buttons
4. Select voice search as your home button.
Now double tap home and you got it.
An app called Home 2 shortcut. It's on the play store. Make sure to disable S Voice as well. Google a how to use if the app gives you any issues.
Home2 Shortcut was working perfectly on my Galaxy Note 3 (T-Mobile). Yesterday I got the update to Kit Kat, and Home2 is no longer working. I have tried everything I can think of to get it to work. Anyone have a suggestion?
For some reason, if you don't uncheck the double home-press option in the s voice app before you disable it, the system will still try to direct you to the app when you double-press the home button, then fail with a gray screen flashing up briefly.
What you need to do to correct this is re-enable s voice (it's at the very bottom of the list of apps now that it's disabled), go into s voice and hit your menu button, then uncheck the option relating to double-clicking the home button, disable s voice again and then you should be fine.
If it still doesn't work, I'd uninstall, then reinstall the home 2 shortcut app. Hope this helps!
Is it possible to configure Galaxy S4 such that double-pressing the home button launches google now's voice search instead of S-Voice?
