i am very confused.......so you said you like the buzz launcher......and you want to use it as lockscreen? I assume you really reall love the buzz launcher lock screen and want to rip it out so you can use it with other roms? Is that it?
No. I want to push the lock key. And after pressing it for a second time I want to see the home screen. I think that there was such an option in the spare parts app.

so what you mean is you wanna skip the entire lock screen? just press power key and go straight to wherever you were left off, and press home key to return to default home screen?

I am looking to do the same....
what he and I want to do is for example we are in an app like chrome and we press the power button to turn off the screen then the next time we press the power button to turn the screen on it will then be back on the home screen and NOT on the last app we were in.
SO the goal would be NOT to use a lock screen at all, however when we press the power button then we will see whatever widgets/info displayed on the "home screen"
Not sure if I am explaining it proper but either way I want to know as well if this is possible.
Using Galaxy Nexus - Linaro AOKP rom if that matters.
Any info would be amazing.
Thank you.

Tasker can achieve this. Just create a profile for the event screen off or power button.

Hi there guys,
i want to ask u if u know a way to remap physical key on galaxy nexus or another way to turn on from "standby" the cell without always pressing the power button...
i can think that fast it will be insible to touch after long use or continuisly press
thanks for your answer and tips about it
I'm not entirely sure what your asking. There are only 3 physical keys on the device and one of them needs to be used as the power button. If you mean turning the screen on by pressing the screen, this wouldn't make much sense as the screen needs to be on to detect touch.
only 2 physical keys...
1)power on/off button
2)volume
when the screen is black i can turn it on only by pressing the power button, i'm looking for another way to turn the screen on, ex. shacking the phone, pressing the screen, pressing volume key or etc...
The volume consists of 2 physical buttons...
All sensors are off by default when the screen is off. Turning these on would drain your battery dramatically.
If you were to change your power on button to one of your volume keys, what would be the point? You'd just lose the ability to change your volume easily and have a useless power button.
remap the volume key was just an example...
the matter is: is there any other way to turn on the screen without press the power button? with the constantly and massive use of it, it will become fragile and easy to break out.
i use volume up/down and power on /off randomly, all are enabled to wake up the device on aokp milestone 4. i think they may have designed the buttons to survive for quite some time since there is only 1 regular button for the job. other buttons on other phones dont just die and break out do they?
edit: by enabled i meant it is possible to select them as usable. stock doesnt have it afaik (didnt have stock long enough to find out)

no, its an option in the Rom Controls under the lockscreen options menu.
Glados kernel has a touch wake option. You can set it for any length of time after the screen goes off. This will also prevent your phone from going into deep sleep so it can affect your battery.

yes and this is the problem, my experience with other phones with "one function key" usually they break out "easily"
ok so from what u all wrote guys my only option is to root the phone and install a new rom with that "touch screen option"
can u indicate to me better where i can find the roms you are talking about? i'll appreciate it a lot
AOKP found in the development section

Thank u all guys i can say this question is solved !!!
wondering if anyone is able to modify the Samsung framework so we can have a hardware button combo (ie any combination of volume, home and power) to save a screenshot, rather than the stock implementation of palm swipe across the screen.
I find the palm swipe only works for me once every couple of tries, and can often scroll the exact content on the screen you are trying to capture.
Alternatively, Any app suggestions which can achieve this would also be helpful...
EDIT SOLVED already possible with stock frame work... Press and hold both power and home simultaneously for about half a second, and screenshot is captured.
Press n hold the power and home button together !
Power + Home presssed with correct sync indeed
Hmmm doesn't work for me on omega 4.1.... ?? I see online that this should work as an option... Any setting to enable it?
Edit.... Ok got it push both bottoms simultaneously and hold for half a second. Perfect thanks all.
I would have preferred if they stuck with the volume down+ power button combo like stock Android 4.0
Are you holding them in? I thought it wasn't working at first, turns out you just need to hold them both for about a second and it'll work.
I do prefer the SE way of having the option in the LongPressPower options but hey, I love my S3 more.

Glad I found this. The swipe gesture is frigging useless for anything that scrolls.
Hello,
I've been using my new note 2 for two weeks now.. and I like it so much
I also used sgs2 and 3 before.
I'm not new to android.. I flashed roms, know every single setting in the device, rooted my sgs2 and tried lots of apps to customize them.
Regarding my issue, I like to set my device to none screen security because I always manually lock it with a press on the lock screen button after I do whatever I want to do with it, and to unlock I always press Home button to get back to where I was immediately without the need to swipe the lock screen.
The problem is when I lock it and there is an app running and then press the home button the screen goes to home default screen and do not just unlock the screen and keep it there where I was last, this was not the case with my sgs2 or sgs3.
If I press the lock screen button instead it does what I want but I prefer to use home button because its much easier.
Its not a big issue but its annoying sometimes because sometimes I get popup notification windows while the phone is locked (whatsapp for example) and I press the home button to see it and instead of just turning on the screen to see the window it goes back to home screen and the popup is gone, or in cases where I'am writing an email or reading something and meanwhile talking to somebody, if the screen gets locked, If I press the home button everything is gone. So I have to switch tasks to open my activity again.
I don't know if this is a jellybean issue or hardware (homebutton).
I know its not a big deal but I would appreciate if somebody can help get around this

It seems to be a jellybean feature no way around unless a mod comes out...
All jellybean roms in Note I had this feature and i remember seeing this thing on SGS III jellybean too
Just install the S Voice app , "voicetalk_NLI.apk".
In S Voice, set "double click active S Voice" will fix the issue.
This actually worked! Thanks
But the problem is that i use another app (home2) to control home button which makes me able to control what app runs when double clicking home or even use a combination of home with back or menu.
Its a very good app if you want to try it.
This leaves me with trying to deal with my original issue tho or just return to old factory setting

Is this possible? If yes, if like to make it..
And how to?

If I get what you trying to say here, you can try button saviour(root), there is a screen off and other onscreen buttons features(back/home/menu/vol etc) that's quite handy too.
If thats an app bro sorry not the one im looking for..
Im looking for something to edit in the phone to make the screen off by pressing a custom button, e.i pressing the home twice and the screen is off. Press once and the screen is on.
The power button is too far, i mean my finger needs to jump there just to turn off the screen. If u get me bro..

umm i don't think there is a mod for such a particular and specific personal perference
There are tap to execute and similar app that make use of the Proximity sensor of the phone to wake up phone without having to press the power button.
Personally I only tried softpower.
Description
Turn screen OFF and turn screen ON without touch power button.
SoftPower will safe your physical power button by use Search button or notification to turn screen OFF(and lock) and use proximity sensor changing to turn screen ON.
Note:
-Proximity sensor on device is required for Turn ON function to work.
-To uninstall, do this first. Settings-> Locations & Security(or Security in ICS)-> Device Administrators then uncheck SoftPower.

ive been looking for this too, since ALL SCREEN OFF APPS dont make your phone go into deep sleep resulting into battery drain, only the physical power button can make you phone into deep sleep and auto idle i think, im looking for a shorcut not widget or app to mimic the physical power button so i can set it into gesture and alike to make my phone go into deep sleep
try cm10 fxp150, u can easily lock your screen from notification bar
If you install cm10 I'd recommend enabling the navigation bar and setting the back button long press to make your phone sleep. It's wonderful to use!

how you did that can you teach step by step?
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?

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.
