My home button is not functioning.

Okay, so I had the g2 for a little now. However, I just recently rooted it. I used visionary r14, and eventually got s-off. I then downloaded ROM manager, and tried installing cyanogenmod 6.1.1. The installation didn't give me any errors, and when it was finally done, everything seemed like it didn't work, as if I had just done a normal factory reset.
I had assumed nothing changed, I didn't even have the superuser app installed. So then I tried going back to my homescreen and it wouldn't let me. The home button is not working. I can use the other three touch sensible buttons, but the home one seems to have been disabled. Would anyone know what could have led to this, and more importantly how can I fix it? For those curious, yes I still have s-off. Is there any way I can remove it, if only it would assure my home button would work again? Thanks in advance.
If anyone has any form of information at all, it would be extremely appreciated.

I'm running CM 6.1.1 Stable on my G2 (just a couple weeks old) and I've noticed that my home button doesn't work sometimes. It works about 95% of the time, but then it will do the occasional hiccup where nothing happens. If I touch it a few more times it will eventually start working again. Not sure what it is, but I read in another thread here that it could have something to do with how the CM ROM is configured for capacitive touchscreen sensitivity. And I believe I read that this has only been reported in CM and not other ROMs.

Had this issue yesterday. I did a factory wipe from Clockwork and reflashed CM. Fixed it.

even iam facing the problem, but i guess mine is worst as the all(4) softkeys doesn't respond, but when i press it, i receive the feedback i.e it vibrates.
2nd issue: my physical keyboard layout is pretty much messed up, the symbol key which i press on my keyboard doesn't display the exact symbol
it would be kind if someone offer some solution for this
Rom: CM 6.1.1 (even tried nightly build #85)
Build: HK
P.S: i never had those problems in the stock rom

I'm having the same problem with CM6.1.1. I noticed it after installing Twidroyd app. I couldn't exit it via the home button...had to back all the way out. Uninstalled and still having the problem. Doesn't seem to be working at all now.

I had this sort of problem with my G1, I flashed the BiffMod ROM and some day, the phone just randomly did a factory reset, the background is set to how it was when I first flashed it and the home screen was back to normal like how it was when I first flashed it. My home button would not work, when I pushed the end call button to put the phone in sleep mode, it would turn off but if I were to press it again,the screen would turn on but it didn't go to the lock screen it just turned on. To fix it I went into recovery and wiped all five(I'm using Amon_Ra's recovery on it) then I booted back up and my home button worked again and when I put the phone to sleep, it turned back on like normal with the lock screen. That has happened a few times, some times when I did the wipe, every thing would start working again and my home screen still had everything placed where it is suppose to be. You could try to wipe everything, but I can't guaranty it because I don't even have my G2 yet so this has never happened to me on a G2.

i wiped everything data / cache ,flashed GingerVillain 1.4 , the softkeys won't work even in this rom, the only place where softkeys work is HTC's Stock rom. iam just wondering is it due to my build, as its Hong Kong build, so there is a possibility that the keymap for softkeys are different?

clockworkmod help

Hi, hope this is ok to post in this support thread...
Basically i have RCMIX3D RUNNYMEDE rom on my dhd. everything has been running fine for around 3 or 4 weeks.
Now all of a sudden my wifi does not work (says Error when trying to turn on).. and neither do my volume buttons.. its so frustrating... i have thought maybe i can do a complete wipe and re install the custom rom but i cannot use the volume buttons in clockworkmod recovery to move down and select to install from zip.. neither can i do this from within rom manager as it says it cannot open the file.
Is this a hardware failure or can it be resolved by re installing this or another rom? has anyone else had this problem?
Hope somebody can help me!
Cheers

Could be a hardware problem, but I would try wiping and reflashing a ROM first. If your volume keys don't work in recovery you can use the softkeys to navigate (home=up, menu=down, back=back, search=select).
If it still doesn't work after reflashing, maybe try some other ROMs, if they still have the same problems then it's likely that the issue is with the phone hardware.
The fact that your volume keys don't work even in recovery (when there's no ROM loaded) sounds like that bit might definitely be a hardware problem.

[Q] Phone Not Booting After Splash Screen

Good Afternoon,
I flashed my phone with a bunch of stuff a few weeks ago, and it's been running spectacularly, but the past few days, I've been having some issues getting my phone to boot completely. ADW would keep force closing, and my phone would randomly reboot, and I'd sometimes need to battery-pull to restart it from being frozen completely. Also, my volume buttons no longer work, and the screen occasionally goes 4-split screen from the keyboard opening ( I'm assuming flex ribbon ). Now today, after the the splash screen, the phone screen just goes black and stays like that. From reading around, I think I know what the problem is, but I was wondering if anyone more knowledgable could give some insight as well, specifically, if there's any chance it could be a software issue and **crosses fingers** not a hardware issue. I attached what I could get of the adb logcat.
Also, if it helps, here's some info about my phone:
Rooted & S-Off, with newest radio
Rom: nickmcminn60's XM-8 Vr 1.1
Kernel: Miguel's
Mods: darktremor A2SD & ?Firerat's? Custom MTD Partition
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

1) don't use Miguel's kernel with these latest builds.
2) did you fix permission with rom manager to help with fc's.
3) I don't think this will fix the screen issues, that's is mostly hardware related.

Thanks for the help! I hadn't done fix permissions yet, as last time it somehow broke my rom. Unfortunately, I tried doing a nandroid backup first, yesterday morning before trying fixing permissions, and after my phone finished and rebooted, the phone just froze, and I couldn't reboot into recovery ( my volume buttons don't work ), and after a few reboot attempts, my screen died. I'm going to try ADBing into it tonight if I can.
In case I can get it fixed though, what kernels should I be using instead? I tried drowningchild's, but I seemed to have fewer issues with Miguel's.

Use stock cm kernel when using cm roms if using sense I believe nbetcher has a good kernel

[Q] Help with flashing Evervolv nightly

I'm losing my radio when I flash the newest or any Evervolv nightly. I'm not sure what's going on. However, when I go back to a previous ROM that was working, (Bleu Mynt) I don't have a radio there either. The only way I can have my radio is to restore a nandroid from a previous ROM. I thought flashing the Blackdome kernel would fix the issue, but when I flash the kernel my phone accepts it but doesn't load. The screen goes black. The only thing responsive are my my four buttons at the bottom ( Home, menu, back, and search). When I touch them they light up and vibrate, but nothing else. Also, when i first flashed the Evervolv nightly it said I has mismatched iud and that I needed to wipe my data and reboot. I did that and used fix permissions in my recovery. It said permissions fixed. However, upon reboot, I still had no data connection. Is there something else I need to flash with the nightly? I've been working and researching this for almost 18 hours. I need some help please. Can somebody tell me what's going on and tell me what I need to research in order to fix this issue? Thank you for taking the time to read about my problem.

Heres some new radios,so when you flash a new rom,you will have this for backup: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 ,also try a different nightly or a stable version,this one might have caused a bug,fixing another one,thats why its a nightly.

[Q] Soft buttons are completely gone. Help?

I was trying to activate the AOSP lockscreen on the HTC ONE M8 on Verizon. I succeeded in that, but when I read through the walkthrough further it said there was a way to keep the Touch Twice to Wake and fast charge features. So I continued on to flash the Bulletproof Kernel. I, sadly, didn't pay attention when it said it worked on everything except the Verizon version. Now, I lost my soft buttons and have to reboot anytime I want to switch applications. I've found similar problems, but they were unique to settings found in Cyanogen and other roms. I'm mostly completely stock. It's been suggested that I try flashing Cyanogen or something, but I'd really like to keep the camera and IR functionality.
Solutions I've tried.
Rebooting 20+ times. Didn't work.
Draining the battery, and recharging, and rebooting. Didn't work.
I found a stock kernel and flashed that. Didn't work.
Loaded the backup I had from when I installed CWR. Didn't Work.
Wiped all cache and factory reset. Didn't work.
I'm now out of idea's and need some help. Anything guidance in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
This was the how-to I was following: htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/activate-hidden-aosp-lock-screen-your-htc-one-m8-0154651/
EDIT: I just put a ROM on it. Fixed my problems for now. I still have no idea what happened though.
