If none answered your question that means that they don't know, and probably are not interested in investigating any further, u know how to use google?

Reading this tells me that u probably need root since it calls for hidden function "setScreenState" , but i am just a noob at this so don't listen to me.

If you can access paid apps, search for "screen off". I never had to use the power button to off the phone anymore

I had already found all of these application, but would like keep the original screen.
In other words, would only a very simply button wich lock the screen as the hardware
button, nothing else.
Regards
ur welcome sorry i cant help any further i dont have the sgs yet so i cant experiement to find out for u
sadly, as of THIS point in time, what you are asking for is impossible.
The best alternative is Widgetlocker, but since you don't want that, there is no solution.
Hi,
many thanks @all!
For now, I will attempt to survive
Regards
Search for Lock Screen Widget in Market. But Only Android 2.2.

Unless you root it and flash a ROM that's not Sense-based, no, you can't. You know what else is annoying? People hitting the home button for no discernible reason when they're already on the middle home screen.

I like launcherpro, but the option to disable it from launcherpro seems to have disappeared! try it out, but you won't be able to use sense widgets

Hey, thanks for your reply but I didnt get any further .. I dont have the "Allow Home Button" thing checked.. and the site u gave is also telling something about wlock helper but I have no idea where I can find it ;s
When you click your homebutton, check default behaviour, then select WLocker Helper. Then go to Settings, Advanced, HomeHelper and check the 'HomeHelper Block Home' box.
That should do it. Now when you click the home button, your phone won't unlock on Widget Locker.
The site, btw is the dev's FAQ site for Widget Locker.

I was hopeless with your same problem, I opened another 3D a few days ago, and today I posted your exact same question in another 3D.
And someone just gave us the answer!!!!!

How cool is this guy!?
Yes, especially it is important to select WL HomeHelper as the default after activating HomeHelper.

Sorry, I'm not exactly sure what you mean.
But, if you go to Settings -> Buttons & Inputs -> Easy Wake Mode, you have the option of enabling/disabling.

Ah, gotcha, I get what you mean now.
Unfortunately, I can't figure it out either. One of the menus in Widgetlocker says it has no control over what buttons wake the device because that is controlled by the Android OS, so it doesn't look like that can be changed.
However, I do recall that in VillainTweaks for VillainRom there is an option for disabling the home button for the lockscreen. I don't know if you're on VillainRom or if that option will work for Widgetlocker or just the stock lockscreen, but that might be helpful.

Hi,
You can disable the home key to wake up the device:

I hate the screen to the left of my home screen, how can I remove it?
Open the home screen you want to remove, long press anywhere on that screen until you see the WIDGETS button at the bottom, press WIDGETS button, then just long press the screen you wish to remove and drag to the top to remove.
To change or add back just do the same, but instead just put a check in the widgets you want adding. HTH

Unfortunately, there is no way to remove it with the touchwiz launcher, unrooted.

What did I just post above? You don't need root or anything else to remove it. However you will have to leave at least one widget, that cannot be removed.

Your response does not make sense. You can't remove the screen and you must leave at least one widget on it.

There are 2 screens to the left, you can remove the first one easily. The last one only the widgets can be removed except for one.
Just use an other launcher...
Use different launcher. Even custom Roms have that screen. I think it is unremovable.

Hi
I use nova launcher prime and am used to a shortcut on my screen to quickly lock the screen instead of using the hardware button to lock the screen. However since I have moved over to p2.. After I press the lock screen shortcut from nova the screen for goes black but the screen isn't locked... It is not till 10 secs later when the screen actually locks
I hate this feature as it stops me from putting the phone into my pocket instantly after locking. How to fix this? I have set up power button to instantly lock the phone after sleep.
It's not P2s problem it's Android's security feature. You'll need root access to instantly lock screen
But from quicktiles there is an icon to do it

Thanks yes i came across that as well... However it is really a total failure on Android part to not have anything built in to allow people to instantly lock... Isn't there any way to put a shortcut to the system icon on my desktop? In stock launcher or otherwise?
Unfortunately looks like Android is going the way of Apple with these silly restrictions becoming more n more common
Well it's a security feature which means they've probably found something wrong with putting a quick lock from 3rd party apps.
Use "Wide touch" found under Setting->Feature. You can assign multiple gesture into it.
