Not the same by the I9295

I tried this, but i have the S4 active (I9295), and it's little different

1. install "root Explorer"
2.Go to "System"
3. Go to "Usr"
4.Go to "KeyLayout
5. go to "gpio-keys.kl" with Longpress and choose Open in Text Editor, and choose Yes

It's the line with 172 as the key number listed..

172 HOME WAKE

I removed the HOME (not POWER like the video said) and added the "_DROPPED" to "WAKE" so the line looks like:

172 WAKE_DROPPED

Go back and save

Reboot, and your home button works only if you have your screen on, and won't turn screen on if pushed

First attachement is before change,
second is after change

The Other way is Download and install Wanam Xposed,

See Third Screenshot

This is easier, and if you installed it you have way more options to customise your S4 Active
Have Fun
