[MOD] Disable home button wake

[tspnews]

You can change the first part from HOME to POWER and make it work literally like a power button. But then it won't work as a home button AT ALL.

Any modification of this file on my device results in both my home key and power key becoming completely nonfunctional. :laugh:

I don't think you followed the directions 100%. Good thing a backup is saved automatically

No, it's either a result of using ES FIle Explorer or a conflict with Beans.

The contents of that file is:
Key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
KEY 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
KEY 116 POWER WAKE
KEY 172 HOME WAKE

If i change the last line to any of the following, i lose use of the home and power keys:
KEY 172 WAKE
KEY 172
KEY 172 POWER
KEY 172 WAKE POWER
KEY 172 POWER WAKE
KEY 172 WAKE_DROPPED

Thanks, I use widget locker and its home helper seemed to help with the home button unlocking directly to the home screen, but it didn't help with the power amp pro lock screen. I'll give this a try.

How do I set up Widgetlocker to stop taking me to home screen when I press the home button? I tried playing around with Home Screen Helper but I can't seem to get the setting right. Do you mind giving me a quick walkthrough? Thanks!

I take no credit for this. Did a Google search and found it on the Sprint Gnote 2 XDA forum. I tried it and it works on our Verizon Gnote phone.

All credit goes to ffolkes:


1. Mount as R/W and open /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl.

2. Scroll to the line that says:
"key 172 HOME WAKE"

3. Now delete the HOME so it says:
"key 172"

4. Save it and reboot.

PS: Long hold the file and choose the option "open with text editor".

This worked perfectly for me. Does anyone know what I'd need to modify in order to get the following?

1. Change longpress Home to activate Multiwindow bar. (instead of recent apps)
2. Change longpress Back to activate recent apps. (instead of Multiwindow)

Same things works on xcover 2, thanks.

If you are rooted, just use Wanam Xposed.
