I've been trying to find a way to disable the home button entirely for my sgh-i747 but I can't find a way to disable it anywhere. Can anyone help me?

xposed has a module called "gravity box" probably for most versions of android that might can do it. root required as is xposed framework.
just search for xposed or xposed modules if you decide to try.

Can't Access Task Manager with Home Button Anymore

I can no longer hold home to get to the task manager. Holding down home does nothing now and I can't figure out why or what I could have done to cause this. Restarting doesn't fix it. Anyone know how I can restore this function without reflashing? The last thing I did was install Xposed Framework with modules 'App Settings 0.4' and 'xMulti Window Mod 1.3' so I'm thinking that's what caused it but I'm not sure why.
ROM: Tweaked 2.4.1
Kernel: Stock
Your best bet is to try and disable the new modules in xposed. Or disable xposed all together Then reboot..... also there's nO need to post in multiple threads. Patience

Disabled the two modules and rebooted. That fixed it. Re-enabled them, rebooted, problem came back. Double checked and the modules are configured as instructed. Everything on my phone seems fine and working great except this one little issue and it's an annoying one. I don't want to give up this MOD so there must be a way to isolate this but I must admit I'm lost.

Q: Android multi task button

Any way to get the multi task button to replace the settings button to get more of the stock android feel? Hopefully without rooting... thanks!

It's possible, but only with root. You need to install xposed and g2 xposed module.

Double tap on lockscreen to lock (switch off screen)

Hi Folks -
Does anyone know a way to double tap the "lockscreen" to have the phone lock (or switch off screen display).
This is a very popular/common option in Custom ROMs. But I haven't been able to locate this independently.
I've tried Nova launcher for double tap to screen off, but that doesn't work on lockscreen. None of the apps on the playstore seem to work on the lockscreen.
This is a useful feature where in one can check the notifications on the lockscreen and switch off the screen without unlocking the phone.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm using StatusbarSleep, a Xposed module for double tapping lockscreen to turn off.

Thanks so much for the reply.
Could you please provide instruction steps to install Xposed and status bar sleep module? I always get confused on whether Xposed needs to be installed through magdisk or not?
Thanks in advance.

"The Flash" has an awesome guide on how to get your phone set up. It's right here on XDA under our device. After you get magisk installed, look for the systemless Xposed module under downloads in the magisk app. Click on it and there will be a link for the Xposed apk that goes with the systemless version. Just make sure you have a backup, or factory image, or a way to recover your phone in case of a booboo. Hope this could help; there is some really nice tools & guides here on XDA under our phone's forum.

Thanks for responding.
I was thinking of setting up a dual partition with one slot rooted and the other non-rooted. So when I need to access android pay (or any other safety net app), I can just reboot and switch to the non-rooted slot. So after flashing factory img on both slots, flash magdisk+kernel of one slot and let the other not have magdisk.
Anyway, I think I would use the double tap lockscreen feature way more than I use Android pay. It also saves a lot of battery life. I'll search here for guide to install Xposed Modules? Is there anything specific for the Pixel 2 XL?

there is a magisk version of xposed that you can switch off with a reboot. just an FYI since using it is probably easier than trying to dual boot

Thank you. I already have Kernel, Magdisk etc installed. I was looking for instructions for the Xposed Module specifically and did not find a guide for that.
So basically after installing the Xposed Module from within magdisk, just installed Status bar to sleep? Is it as simple as that?
And for next month, while dirty flashing to the new factory images, can this module be uninstalled so that one is close to stock before flashing away? Thanks in advance.

the magisk module is in the mgisk manager repo. flash it, then install this xposed apk https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4337506&d=1511193653
info from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268
Or use the Nova Launcher which has an option for double tap to sleep.

I was able to uncheck the module in Xposed installer and did reboot. But this does not help with Safety net. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
I Installed XposedInstaller_3.1.4_Magisk.apk. From Magisk Manager modules installed Xposed Framework SDK 27.
Could not install StatusBarSleep from XposedInstalled since it force closed when I tried to install. So installed the module through the Xposed repository on the internet.
However if I uncheck the module in Xposed installer and uncheck Xposed framework in Magisk - and reboot. After doing this, still don't pass Safety net check.
Could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thank you.

I use the Nova Launcher and double tap to sleep. But I really wanted double tap on lockscreen. This does NOT work in Nova Launcher. The double tap action only works in the launcher..
did u ever get this working or did you have to goto a custom rom?

Custom Power OFF/Reboot menu

Hi there, uh... I will directly to question
I downloaded Quick Reboot from XDA labs apps, and it has many useful options to every user who likes to flash stuffs and do anything with their phone, so, I'd like to know if is there any way to get rid of that stock power off menu and add some new options like reboot to recovery, fastboot and others WITHOUT USING THINGS THAT BREAKS SAFETYNET SUCH AS XPOSED... See attached pictures to understand better please.
Thanks in advance for any answer!
Not as far as I know. You'd need to modify the system app that's controlling that. So either you are able to get that app, decompile it, change it and recompile it without errors and get it to install... Or you use XPosed. I don't think there is a way with tools like Magisk

Hmm, okay, thanks
I thought someone could do that with magisk like they do to systemize apps and etc

Like I said, if you can get that app and modify it successfully no problem. But to make sense as a Magisk module that would need to work at least on every close-to-AOSP ROM and I don't think that's possible. Maybe I'm wrong and there actually is an easier method but then I'd be surprised that I don't know if it since I would like to have that too

Is there a way to turn the "Advanced Power Menu" in MIUI (P)?

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to enable the Advanced Power Menu in MIUI 11 on Android P allowing you to quickly reboot to bootloader, fastboot, recovery for instance.
I know I can do that from MIUI update screen or if rooted from Magisk Manager module page, however that option is very handy to quickly reboot to what we want.
That option used to be in the developer options, but it is not there anymore. Maybe it is hidden somewhere?
Or would you know any other way to enable it?
Thanks in advance,
Regards.

So no built-in solution to your knowledge not requiring to use Xposed for it?
Thanks.

No built-in solution AFAIK. You still need a root for that.
There is a magisk module out there that do that thing, but I forget that module.
Or mod your systemui, but that will take some time.
Another alternative is use Reboot Xtream, small apps that do its job. But still, it requires root.
