[Mod] S4 Stock ROOTED rom change HOME button wake mode

[criszz]

I AM NOT TAKING ANY CREDIT FOR THIS, FOUND ON GOOGLE AND WANT TO SHARE

Mount as R/W
Open /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl. with text editor
Go to "key 172 HOME WAKE" line
Delete word WAKE
Save and exit
Reboot phone
That's all , now you stoped the home button from waking up your device.

Probably working on all roms but i tested with rooted stock rom.

Can we make the home button wake and unlock the device?

Can we make the home button wake and unlock the device?

That seems like the complete opposite of its purpose when the device is in sleep.

But you can just turn off the lock screen, and you accomplish what you're asking for. No security at all though. Butt dials like a mother. No one wants that.

I know it's the complete opposite of this mod but it will be faster (IMO) to double click the home button to wake-unlock the device.

But no lock screen will definitely cause butt dials

Not working in Sprint S4 running liquid smooth (AOSP is ya didn't know). Been searching everywhere. Anyone know if there's a way to disable it on AOSP roms? Tried removing wake from every single file inside the key layout folder but met with no success...

Thanks, it was very useful to me, to re-enable the wake up screen on home button.
