Any way to make it so the home button does not turn on the tablet? My case pushes the button every time I close or bump it and turns the screen on. Kind of annoying.
I would do a search for the issue but tapatalk did not want to allow it for some reason.

If your note is rooted, then you can install xposed and wanam which can disable the home button.

I'll play with that when I get it rooted. Was kind of hoping you could just disable that one function.
I did not disable myself. But you can check the feature list at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383484
It has "disable wake home button'. Warm has many other features that work for note.

Hello,
For the S3.
the home button & the volumes button are disabled with this zip.
Just the power button will wake up your phone. Battery saver
Flash it with CWM.

Hi, nice feature. But please can you provide a undo .zip?

How is this a battery saving mod? Does the home-button wakeup feature actually consume some battery?

Me too! Very useful when out at concerts etc. I found that the constant movement would cause the power button to be hit, then screen would stay on for a minute with contact through thin trousers/shorts.
Eventually I found phone was quite warm and battery was slightly reduced.
And I have no idea what the volume wake does, but I have left it enabled.
How about wake up with volume keys

Basically, the file gpio-keys.kl contains four lines corresponding to both volume keys, power button and the home button.
The zip I posted removes the WAKE from just the power button. So the volume keys behave in the same way they would without the modification.
The zip the op posted removes the WAKE from the volume keys and the home button, but not the power button. (so the volume keys will no longer wake the device).
I don't know what this difference means, I assume it may have something to do with volume changing when listening to music? But I have no idea.
Does this clear it up?
But the volume keys dont wake up the phone by default right?

Nope, not as far as I have ever seen.
But they were set to WAKE, so I left them that way.
Is there a flashable file that can enable that?
Thanks1

the button doesn't, but the screen coming on does. Disabling the button is handy, when phones in pocket, and button keeps pressing.

Enable wake on volume key press? I honestly don't know how, according to the file that I modified they already do - but we know that they don't actually visibly affect the device.

I think acccidently pressing the power button is much easier than accidently pressing the home button, so arguably, you would save more power disabling the power button, and not the home button?
Thank´s for this, love it.
i have a case on my s3 so pressing the power button is eliminated accidentally, however the home button i seem to press accidentally every time i pull it out of my pocket or even just shuffling it around.
Hey,can't test it because i have cm9!
Looking good though...
Could you make a zip for cm9 too?

I just downloaded a CM9 nightly, the same file exists which this zip modifies.
This *should* work for you no issues, with the revert working aswell. Of course, nandroid first...

Tried with your Power button disabled mod.. Doesn't work.. After flashing, it still wakes up my phone.
I am on Stock firmware with Siyah Kernel.. Any suggestions. Thanks.
Would you like to leave a tip of a software I'm using. Is the Screen Off and Lock. You can set up to make the screen lock just by sliding your finger on the button back or recent. At least to block not need to use the power button.
The application is available in the Google Store.

Try gravity screen. It uses sensors to lock and unlock the screen.

If you have root, an alternative is the Xposed module KnockOff. It works well with 4.4.2. Double-tap status bar. It's even a quick way to turn off screen when you only momentarily want to check lockscreen.
With Gravitybox, I have set long press in the "multitasking button" to turn off the screen. Also I have set the volume keys to wake the device. You should try it!

You don't need root for gravity - it's fantastic.
I've set it so it turns off when it's lying down face up, face down, and in my pocket. I don't even need to press the button or any button at all to turn it back on, just using the motion of picking the phone up is enough. If you want to lay the phone down but not turn the screen off, swiping your finger across the proximity sensor gives it a "5/10/20 minute timeout" where it won't turn off.
For me it relieves the paranoia surrounding power buttons as I've had a few phones now where the power button eventually dies, which makes sense, we can be turning our phones on and off for what feels like a thousand times a day!

Ah, my bad. Thanks for correcting my misinformation! I think I probably got carried away on how amazing I find Gravity. :good:
Hi thanks for that. YES. I tame extra precaution about power button.
I use a great app called. Tap tap tap. Des what gravity screen does but simpler and less features. Via the proximity sensor. Thanks for he app though
Moto G owners ought to know about those apps as soon as possible, so they won't screw the power button up just as I did. Even taking extreme care about the way I pressed and avoiding as much as I could the button is now shaking and it is not fixed properly.
Nice tips!
Another one I've been using is the Proximity Actions app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=novum.inceptum.proximity
It works with the proximity sensor. You can define waving and holding actions. Eg. hold your finger 1s over the proximity sensor and then lock/unlock, or to wave X times to lock/unlock
The bad is
- it install some ads that show in homescreen at random time
- you have to uncheck a checkbox before uninstalling! Be careful
I can't be the only one who accidentally hits those buttons when using the tab in portrait mode. Samsung going with physical buttons is a direction I am not happy with. Was also why I didn't want the S4.
Anyway, sure would be great if someone came up with a way to disable those preferably selectively. Perhaps an xPosed modules.

I don't no how to disable only in portiat without root. But there is a way to disable soft keys
Settings /Device /Accessibility
Scroll to very bottom
Enable interaction control
Use volume down and home at same time to enable
Uncheck all checkboxes
Now soft keys (Navigation buttons) and home are disabled.
Usefully when watching a movie and holding with your hand on softkeys.
(Have to disable multi window to enable this feature.
If helped, thanks would be appreciated.
Will check it out. thanks
Just a quick Q, does elemental work flawlessly for those who use dt2w? I've found if I leave my tablet for a while without using it and then come back to it (Like an hour or 2), double tap just does nothing. Just wondering if this is a known issue? Sorry, I'm new to the n7, but have had the n5 for a long time now so very familiar.
Doing a little research..
Before locking your tablet, I think you have to back out of all apps first to your homescreen, then lock it. Can anyone confirm this?
I've not had any issue with it. I have been running Elemental X on Clean ROM v2.7 for a week and it has worked as advertised.
Make sure you turn it off in correct way, since it can be disabled.

What's the correct way? I just press power button to lock..
I'm going to try a custom rom, and see if that changes anything. Already tried chaos kernel and same thing happened.

Thats' the problem. Pressing the power button cycles through the swipe/tap to turn on function. I never use the power button to turn it off, i just swipe across the bottom of the screen, or close the magnetic front cover to my case to shut the screen down

Think you've cracked it! Suppose I should have figured. Thanks a lot mate.
I use the power button to turn it off and have no issues. Just font select the option to disable it in the ROM setup and it works fine.

That setting is found when you flash the kernel. If you want to change the behavior of the tap to wake etc, you will need to reflash Elemental X
Awesome, works now. Must have missed that option the first time. Thanks all
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.
