[Q] Home button wake problem

This is frustrating. If I wake my phone by pressing the Home button i get taken to my designated home screen and not to the open app. The same does not happed if i wake the phone with the power button. This really annoys me in situations where i have the phone on a desktop as i have to use two hands to wake the phone!
Is there a way to change the action of the home button in this situation?
UPDATE: Problem solved. Enable a lockscreen! That was easy

Home button behavior w/ jb & no lock screen

I don't use any lock screen and I always use the home button to wake my phone up.
Since official JB, the home button not only wakes the phone up but it closes the app I'm in. Example : I'm browsing something on chrome, the screen turns off bc of timeout, I wake the phone using the home button and I see chrome back but immediatly it closes down like if I had pressed the home button again (but I didn't). The same behavior does not happen when a lock screen is enabled.
I tried searching for an answer and tried the solution of editing the .kl files in system/usr/keylayout by adding WAKE_DROPPED or replacing WAKE with WAKE_DROPPED for every occurence of the home key (key 172) without luck. I tried fixing the permissions in CWM and I made sure the permissions are rw-r-r.
Running stock rooted with CWM.
Any other ideas? Thx!

I'm also curious about this. My temporary fix was to unfreeze S Voice in Titanium and then enable the double press of the home button to start S Voice.
I'd rather keep S Voice frozen and still keep the same behaviour of the home button in ICS.

Yes that does work indeed. However, it brings back the lag when pressing the home button. I'm also using home2 shortcut for some shortcuts and it completely breaks them!
The same problem arises also when you long press the home button to get to recent apps, if you have an app open in the background at that moment and you press the home button to get out of the recent app screen, it closes the app!

Home button lag with disabled lockscreen

So heres my problem in a nutshell:
When I press the home button, my phone unlocks (I have no lockscreen), however it takes me to the home screen. Whereas if I hit the power button, the screen turns on where I left off. This is the expected behavior.
If I go into S-Voice, and select "Open via the home key", the home key unlocks the phone correctly, but I have to deal with the home button lag issue.
So, how do I get the best of both worlds? No lockscreen, no home button lag, and no issue with using the home button to wake the phone.
I could do without S-Voice all together so if thats an option Im OK with it.

I wasn't happy with the speed of the home button, I took off the double tap for svoice and I'm much happier not sure if that helps you

home screen button?

Is there a way to "rewire" the home screen button so the short press would open recent apps and long press would go to home screen?
I'm on stock deodexed dll7

Beanstalk ROM keyboard opens on home button press

Hello,
Ive installed beanstalk RC1.1 yesterday and also installed the kitkat 1.03. When I change the DPI of the phone all is well until I am in an app and press the home button (center button). When pressed, I am brought to the home screen but then the keyboard pops up. I must then press the home button again to get the keyboard to drop away.
I have not re-mapped any of the keys. Its really annoying.. Does anyone know how I can change this so that when I press the home button it will bring me to my home screen and NOT bring up the keyboard?
Thanks in advance.
