hi guys wonder does any one know off an app that can launch the home screen other than using the power button all the time i would prefer a long push on 1 off the soft keys if poss , any replies welcome
Some screenlockers (as example advanced lock if I remember right) do not lock home button, but I don't know if It's what you're looking for.
I use widgetlocker which allows to turn on the phone using volume buttons, way easier than power button (imho ).

with widget locker you can set t to use the volume keys. afaik until the screen is on the softkeys dont work - they are in theory part of the sceen
For stock, is it possible to use volume button to wake the screen up? I really dont like the soft power button. (or CUSTOM ROM is the only way to make this happen?)

I think widget locker will allow you to do this.

Omg this is the best idea I've ever seen on any mobile forum...
Flash on if home button is pressed for say 2 seconds and screen/phone remains in sleep/lock status, ingenious.

Doesn't seem to work on my device... Already tried to reboot / reinstall :/
if you want to disable home button waking device use root browser lite go to system/usr/keylayout/ gpio-keys.kl you will have to open it as a text file then with inbuilt text editor. go down to bottom were it says (key 172 home wake ) and just delete the word WAKE then press menu and save and exit . reeboot phone and then the home button will be disabled... :thumbup:

Hi guys,
Why don't just do this manually ?
1) Open Root Explorer
2) Navigate to: /system/usr/keylayout/
3) Press 'Mount R/W'
4) Long hold 'gpio-keys.kl' and choose "Open in Text Editor"
5) Remove "WAKE" from the line "172 HOME WAKE"
6) Back out, Save, Reboot

Works on MIUI roms
I want to take screenshot without using hardware button (vol down+power), for example long press navigation bar or any other on-screen shortcuts.
I have tried AOKP rom but unfortunately the navigation bar doesn't have shorcut to screenshot.
Thanks a lot!

In some ROMs (like AOKP) you can edit the power menu to have a screenshot button.
It's buried in there somewhere, I'm using a stock MMuzzy ROM so I don't have the power to do that.
It's not exactly what you wanted, but you can hold down the power button and then take a screenshot with the button in the menu.

Can any ROM do this without even long pressing the power button?

Not that I know of, however, you can get an app like Screenshot Ultimate to have a button overlay, or even a button sitting static in the status bar.
Here's the trigger list to which you can set.
- Overlay icon which is visible on top of all screens (icon, button or custom icon)
- Shake
- Service icon click
- Audio
- Power connect/disconnect
- Folder listener
- Webserver
- Camera hardware button
- Long click search hardware button
- Custom shortcut
- Widget button
- Button inside the app
- Intent (Tasker support)
- Interval
- Cronjob
use any custom rom with Custom Ring Targets Settings, from there you can set a toggle to take screenshot
Cyanogenmod's navbar shortcuts can do it.
Just as you said, long pressing in the navbar (previous configuration obviously)

I personally haven't heard of any way to add a 4th button to the navigation bar for screenshots. That sounds like something that might be in a custom rom if it was even available. The other option I know of would be to use Xposed Framework with the GravityBox module. With GravityBox you can set a long press or double tap on any of the nav bar buttons to trigger a screenshot. You can add a tile in the Quick Settings for screenshots. And you can also add it to the Advanced Power Menu (power button). That's what I can think of at the moment other than finding an app or widget of some kind to put on your home screen.
