Hello! I've just installed LOS 15.1 on my S9+ and while everything seems to be working just fine, the hard press home button can turn on the screen if the phone is locked but I cannot use it as an actual home button. Is there a setting for this that I'm just not finding?
Settings - system - buttons

That's the first place I looked, there's no option for that. After unlocking the phone, the hard press button simply doesn't work anymore.

Back in WinMo days I was so happy that i could disable lock screen because I find it very annoying, I really don't need it.
So I was wondering is it possible that when I press power on button that it automatically goes to home screen without need to unlock it first?
I have found few mods for that, but whatever mod(or app) I applied it would also enable power on by trackball or any other hw key(menu, home..) what I don't want since I can accidently press those keys in pocket and than my battery will drain usless!
I have found the mod I need, but it is for EVO 4G, maybe it needs little modification so that it can be applied to our Desire?
on some ROM's you get the optionj where you unlock via power button.. and for the lock screen you can just use Menu button.. I use it.. and very easy, better than the vanilla lock screen
hope this helps!
try searching for No Lock in the market. works dandy for me.
yea same, go with no lock, also has a handy widget

In pacman ROM I use on screen buttons, and turn off capacitive buttons led.
Check screenshots here
Or try app "Power on volume" or something like that, but on-screen buttons are better solution

will this app let me assign the volume up to be a home button? anyone tried this?
Didn't try it ... also if you are rooted you can use gravity box to set long press action for back and menu keys if they are working for you..

Hello guys!
I need something to power on phone without using a jig. A rom with working button remap to power on phone, or is there anyway to make volume + button to work when phone is turned off, and actually manage to turn it on?
I have done button remap and it only works as long as phone is turned on.

I would recommend you get a rom with volume wake. There are apps on the google play store that, the one I use is call "Button Savior".
This is assuming that you can get the phone to power up to recovery and flash a working rom. Currently using the CM 10.1 and it's working pretty well for me.

Thanks I downloaded Beanstalk because of 4.4.2 version, It included Volume button wake but. I remap the Volume key to turn on and off screen by editing the key layout files in system. I used this guide of reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696526
Removed faulty switch and use a paper clip to turn on and off the phone.
Paper clip can be stored inside battery cover.
This phone is from my friend which I fixed for him.
Thanks :good:
HI guys,
My power button is not functioning right, so I want to disable it. I thought that there is a file for the power button mapping in system/usr/keylayout from other device thread, but i can't find power button related file. only soft buttons.
Can someone please help?
Thanks.

I partially solve it. It's only disabled when the OS is booted up, so when the phone is off, I can still use the power button. The file I edited is Generic or something in System/usr/keylayout
But another problem is that long press (10+ sec) reboot is still not disabled so sticking power button issue was still annoying me.
However, I kind of got the power button fixed now after keep hitting the power button a lot hard. But I have a feeling it's gonna be back again soon..
Oh btw, CM12 has screen on with volume button feature and double tap notification bar for screen off. So No problem there.

And Cm12 has home button to wake. Only problem can be it wakes up in your pocket sometimes. If your problem is solved, please add "[SOLVED]" to the beginning of the thread title.
Hey, guys. On marshmallow OOS we could do screenshots through the power menu.
This option in power menu seems to be gone now in nougat OOS.
So, since 3finger swipe doesnt work in some apps is there any other system integrated way to take screenshots?
Or do i need third party app for it now?
Volume down + power for a few seconds. Hold it too long though (10 sec) and it will shutdown.

You can enable it in 'Gestures' (where you can enable double tap to wake, draw circle for camera etc)
It should be working, (in settings-gestures), or you could get screenshot by pressing power button + volume down button, it always work for me.
