Just a simple mod I love. I know when I have the phone in my pocket it would turn on from the front "home button" being triggered (logged). And also when I clean my screen it would bug me, I hope some of you agree with me...

So the HOME OFF mod removes the power on trigger when the front hardware HOME button is pressed, ON will bring the action back...



HOME WAKE ON found there...


HOME WAKE OFF found there... enjoy ;)

i don't get why either this isn't default on android, or at least make an it an option to use the home button to turn on the display. i guess google is too buzy removing other features and trying to fix what isn't broke..

this IS something that bothers me, specially since coming from the Evo line of phones, when you disabled easy wake only the power button would turn on the screen. and that's what I want.

just flash I suppose?

EDIT: flashing made no difference. I opened the .zip and saw that it was making changes to sec_keys.kl, so I checked mine and it was still unedited. modified it myself and it works wonderfully.

the flashable zip is created wrong. based on the script, it's extracting the usr folder into /system/usr/keylayout/ but the usr folder itself contains keylayout, so i'm guessing it's putting the sec_keys.kl in /system/usr/keylayout/keylayout/sec_keys.kl...but then again, i'm not that experienced at this.

check my post right before yours. or you can download this. I moved the file so it'll extract in the right folder and also modified it to also disable volume buttons. as of now only the power button unlocks the phone.

I don't know what, if any, repercussions it'll have from also disabling the volume buttons from waking, but it's a very very easy fix if it breaks something else.

do you know if there will be repercussions from also disabling the WAKE command from the vol up/down buttons? I did that on my sec_keys.kl file and so far, no problem. but just wondering if you know of any.
