I was just thinking of this issue today.

Constantly having the same problem too...
Same thing with the Home button while its in my pocket...

I disabled my menu and back buttons completely and enabled the on screen navigation buttons. Only problems I've noticed are the stock camera app and call log don't adjust well still usable though.

The jedi screenshot technique.

Wondering how to take screenshots? :banghead:
If like me you were scratching your head how to take screenshots, and pressing a combination of buttons but nothing happened. Check Settings>motion find and enable the screenshot function.
Hold hand perpendicular/vertical on right side of screen, and drag it to the left. Voila it shows you the screen has been grabbed. Find it in your Gallery app.
Hope this tiny guide helps.:thumbup:

You can also:
*) Press and hold the spen button for 2 seconds with the spen on the screen
*) Press and hold home and power buttons

You may find that the motion technique for taking a screenshot might fail if you are in a full screen app
If the Motion is on at setting, sliding palm of you hand from left to right works for me.

Any way to fix home button wake up bug?

Dont know what else to call it really but I know this is happening with all of our devices.. which is when the screen times out and u press home to wake it up it takes u back to default homescreen. The sgs3 doesnt react that way and ive had to get used to hitting the power button instead. Any ideas? This would be amazing and greatfully appreciated.

I can't replicate this issue. I let my screen timeout and pressed the home button and it simply turned the screen back on to where I left it.

I've had it happen. You press he home button immediately after the screen goes black, and it wakes the screen up, but also takes out of what ever you are in and takes you to the home page. I've retrained myself not to go for the home button, but the power button.

I've seen this behavior too. It's quite annoying.

Stock rooted. I tried it multiple times and the same thing happens, screen times out, I instantly press the home button and it turns the screen back on but keeps me on the web page, app, etc that I'm using.

This is really an issue, "immediately" hitting the home button when it goes to sleep? Why not just avoid letting it go to sleep or hit the power button? This seems like a non issue to me and I've never had it happen.
but my post does not help the OP so good luck with that, sorry for the editorial.
The point is my sgs2 gti9100, and sgs3 tmobile which both had physical buttons didnt react this way.. I find it to be strange.

Are you using stock LEAK ?
I think this is a Jellybean 4.1 issue. My Note 2 has the same problem, but my wife's Galaxy S3 didn't when she was on ICS. Last week the phone updated to JB and now the problem exists.
This is definitely related to Jelly bean but I'm not sure if it is strictly a Touchwiz Jelly bean issue. It happens when I removed S Voice from the home button double press. It happens on the S3 and when my Note II comes in I bet it will happen on there too.
There are a lot of people that noticed it and I even saw someone open an issue with Google, although I'm not sure it is entirely a Google issue.

The last line is the issue maybe.
"I want the single tap to be more snappy - for that I must disable s voice, but when I do it this bug raises its head. "
Do you guys have s voice disabled on the home button to save that lag time?
I disabled the s voice on the home button but still have the lag.

Remapping keys in lockscreen

The biggest app I use is Flashlight/Torch. I use it 50+ times a day and cm10 has the lovely feature of being able to remap a hardware key to it while still in lock screen. I have looked through files to see how they did it but I cannot find it. I want to be able to turn my flashlight on when in lock screen. I have been turning it on by the menu button. Is there any way I can do this on TWJB?

I could write an app to turn it on, but you'd have to have the app as a shortcut on your lock screen. Cm10 does it through the ROM so it's quite simple.. don't think it's replicable b tw.

Replaced cracked s3 screen, back and menu button messed up. What are my options?

Hey all, I messed up my menu and back button when replacing the screen. I am currently running cm10 nightly and was looking to either enable onscreen nav bar or figure out how to fix this.
Any help on this matter would be awesome...
thanks!
Cheapest would be to enable on screen nav buttons or pie.

Put this line into your build prop located in system folder.
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
This will activate the on screen button and show menu button when needed.

On screen nav buttons

The note 4 had the ability to have movable on screen nav buttons, can't seem to find this function on the 5.
Anyone know where they are, or did they deep six them?

If you mean the side key panel, it's gone. Lol
