Every time I double click the home button, S-Voice opens and gives me the EULA, but I never accept and instead exit out. Does that mean it's enabled or disabled?
How would I permanently disable it if I'm not rooted. Also, is there a way to permanently disabled Google+ without being rooted?

just accept it, skip the instruction, press menu, uncheck all including open with home button and it will be disabled

I just noticed that while in pandora, the pandora app devs decided to throw the menu button on the main bar with the home/back/app list buttons. When my phone auto locks or i manually lock it, the menu button is on the lock screen and if i tap it, it unlocks. I use swipe unlock so not a huge deal for me, but i need to test with other methods like pattern and password.
Attached is screenshot.
[Edit] i tested it with all other unlock methods and the button doesnt work. It is still there on lock screen, but only unlocks the phone on swipe.
Feature of the os. All apps with the menu button down there do it, even the XDA app. Not a security issue, doesn't work when you actually have a security method set up.

When my screen turns off and I press the home button to wake the screen, any applications or notification popups I had disappears as the home button is being too "aggressive" and immediately takes me to the home screen.
Did I miss a setting somewhere to prevent this?
Thanks.
It seems the only way to prevent this is by enabling Swipe Lock. I guess this is why it's enabled by default?
I'm having the same problem no matter what I do when the screen times out and I press home it takeme back to my home screen. ..Have you found a solution yet?

No solution yet. And doesn't seem like there is one.

In S-Voice app, bring up settings, make sure option to "Open via the home key" is checked. This will allow the home button to only wake the device when the screen is off. Unfortunately, this also introduces some lag when pressing the home button, as the software is waiting to see if you register a double click.

I hate that lag, that's why I unchecked it and ran into this Home Button problem.
The lag is pretty bad, like 2-3 seconds. Not practical.
Is there a way to disable the home button turning on the screen? Its easy to press it by accident, I'd rather have it only turn on via the standard power button.
Oh, and how about not having the screen turn on when you get messages?
The only way I know to disable the home button is with root, as far as messages are concerned try a few apps from the playstore (handcent, go sms) they have a lot more features than your stock app., which is what I assume that you are using .

I have root, but I only want to disable it for turning the screen on. Like accidentally in my pocket for example. Once I turn the device on via the power button i'd like to use the home button as normal...
Not sure if that is possible.
Do you have Wanam xposed installed, I believe there is a module for that.

I currently have my screen set to turn of when not in use at 30sec. If I have say a browser window open, step away from the phone, the screen turns off as expected. When I hit the home button, screen turns on and closes what ever app I was using, in this case the browser window.
How can I set the home button to turn the screen back on, but not close the app I was using?
Thanks...
Hi!
I don't think you can reprogram the action on click on the home button using the Samsung's stock ROM.
You may have some luck using the Xposed Additions Xposed module -- I haven't tried it myself, but based on the description, it should help you achieve what you want. You will, of course, need to be rooted and have Xposed Framework installed.
In the stock ROM, the home button switches tasks away from any open app but does not exit your ongoing session within the app.
You can long press on home to pop a task list enabling you to switch back.
You can more fully exit any task using the (curved arrow) back soft key, but the task remains partly open on the home button popup unless you either flick it aside or use the "x" soft key to close all.
Short press the power button for a simple screen wakening.

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to lock an app in memory even if I push the back button?
I am locking 2-3 most frequently used apps from the "Recents" menu but that gets washed away when I press the "Back" button after being done with the respective app.
I know the best option would be to start pushing the "Home" button but over the years I developed a habit of pushing the "Back" button several times to go to home or once to close the app and it's very hard to change behavior now.
I'm on NitrogenOS (8.1) if it matters - stock kernel.
Cheers.

Unless the back button is programmed to kill an app, the app should stay in memory. So check the options for the back button and change it.
It is set to close app. Long press for kill. But still does not work.
If I assign to something else, then basic acknowledge functionality does not work...

Check the long press duration and if possible lengthen it. Or assign double tap for kill and none for long press as an experiment and check.
