[ROOT] Get rid of the Pressure Sensitive Home Button

[ycmak]

I am done with the phone screen accidentally switching on in my pocket.
Here is my way to fix it, just like the Bixby Button.
Root S8, download Root Explorer, go to /system/usr/keylayout, find generic.kl, open editor, find "172 Home", delete that shxt(line) , save and exit. Now you are done, it still vibrates but no longer turn on your screen.

YAY!

I suppose you still can set a lower sensitivity of a screen press first to check if it works.
