So, I followed the instructions above, the home button is 'unknown ", but it still keeps flashing - to indicate notifications, I guess. Is there any way to stop notifications from flashing the home (and Power) buttons?

---------- Post added at 06:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 AM ----------

I am wondering - would it be possible to turn the HOME button into a second BACK button rather than a POWER button? I find the bottom-left locationof the BACK button quite inconvenient.

I think it would be easy to change to a back button. I think it would be nice to have it hide and unhide the bar at the bottom.

I changed Key 102 to UNKNOWN, and it now functions as a "Scroll To Top" button in Dolphin HD!

Has anybody else seen that behavior?

Hi, I have HP IPAQ 514 (Voice Messenger) and my red button is broken . It isn't actually broken, but when I click it, it doesn't respond . Instead, it responds whenever it wants . Is there a way to disable the button because it's really getting on my nerves . Please help, thanks !
