(2) select "none"

My thanks to robojumper for the above information.

As of Jelly Bean, it is possible to quick launch an app (Google Now by default) by a swipe up gesture from the navigation bar, this feature can be annoying.

This app is developed to "disable" this feature. Actually the feature is not disabled, but instead launches this app that does nothing.

*** Important notes ***

This app does not provide a launch icon in the app drawer, so it is not possible to uninstall it in the conventional way.

Can use below methods to uninstall:

(1) Use an uninstaller app, there are many on Play Store, and AppWererabbit is a good choice.

(2) Goto "Settings > Apps > ALL", locate "SwipeLaunch Disabler", select to uninstall from App info screen.

This app may not be applicable to devices with a physical HOME button, mostly Samsung devices.

On devices with physical HOME button, long pressing the HOME button is equivalent to swipe launch action on buttonless devices, which maybe less prone to launching of Google Now by mistake.

The "semi-circle ring" on pre-Lollipop and "exploding circle" on Lollipop is animation prior to launching this app, therefore, out of control of this app.

    I had a need to use an app and I set it to long press home button to quickly get to it. The room has no options to change how the hardware hope button works. Sadly this is the best rom for me. Long press will bring up many different option. This app makes it so I can always launch nothing. Nownothing else happens when I long press the home button. Glad this a is still here.

    Great! Thanks, I am searching to disable swap launch without disabling the Google now or Google voice but there's no option in it's app settings. But this app did the job nicely. But after installing it is working without showing the app anywhere, where is it?

    Amazing app. Designer is a hero. All praise the designer with infinite approval. App blocks an incredibly annoying otherwise unblockable feature. Thank you!

    Cannot thank you enough. I was ready to go nuclear at Google overtaking my home button with no way of stopping it. How is that legal? I now hate them as much as fb. You've turned my phone back into a useful device as i was ready to throw it out the window due to every time i picked it up the damn assist launched after I'd turned it off!!!

    Excellent I absolutely hate that Google Now thing, it would disturb some of my games. This got rid of it easily.
