I've been on a variety of roms and I believe I was on liquid smooth or blackbean (both 4.1 versions) and changed the home button to unlock the phone and on home page to open the camera. Now im on synergy 147 and the home key functions have carried over after a clean flash. I don't want the home key to turn the screen on, I wouldn't mind it opening the camera when unlocked but being it's trying to open the aosp camera it just says application not installed. I can't remember what rom I was on when I changed the settings so I can't just rehash it and change them back. Can anyone tell me how to remap the home key duo that it does not turn the screen on and so it will open the stock tw camera or not do anything (single press while on home page) without switching roms? Or if not what rom I can flash to change these options back at least. I don't know why it carried over from a clean flash
Edit: forget the camera part I realized that was part of nova launcher from when I restored my backup homescreen, but still can't figure out how to get the home button to not wake the phone although I'm prob still missing something stupid to fix it

I noticed today that when i am in a program and press the home button it takes me back to the home screen/today screen as it should. But when I am on the home screen when i press home key again it doesnt open the start menu.. I tested this on a stock phone at the retail store and that is how it works but i only get back to the home screen no extra pushes will get me to the start menu.. i have to tap the windows start icon.. any ideas???

are you running the stock rom or one based on the stock build? i remember it working this way too, but i haven't been running stock for awhile and i just checked that it doesn't work on the new PROven rom... honestly, i would never use it that way anyway, since ive had this phone, ive had to get used to touching everything (compared to my kaiser)... usually you touch a menu item to select it, so touching the start button is part of the process
STOCK ROM
Im running stock rom from alltel
its strange idk why it doesnt work now... hopefully someone will find the fix im not big on the home key but i do use it all the time to launch my start menu then touch from there
Nowadays the only way is to use AEBPlus(Alexander is very popular in these forums with Raphael/Diamond/HD). I have it mapped for long press home key.
I wanted to assign the camera shutter button to wake up the phone. I've used other lockscreen apps like Go Locker, Live Screen, and Magic Locker and they all allow the volume rocker to wake the screen, but not the camera button. I then tried the app "buttonremapper" or something like that that I found on xda. It didn't work.
I found this folder:
/system/usr/keylayout/
with the files:
AVRCP.kl
cpcap-key.kl
edison-keypad.kl
evfwd.kl
omap-keypad.kl
qwerty.kl
usb_keyboard_102_en_us.kl
Everywhere I saw:
212 Camera
(all but the first two files)
I changed it to:
212 Camera WAKE_DROPPED
(and added this to cpcap-key.kl)
It worked...but not always. Every now and then, it would not wake up with the camera button (especially if I hadn't had the screen on in a while). Any ideas? Is this a foolish endeavor?
Also, the Search button sometimes does not bring up the search function (long-pressing doesn't bring the voice search) right after unlocking the screen. The haptic still works, but the search doesn't pop up. The ability returns if I press the home button first. The same goes for the camera hardware button not opening the camera app but working after I press home first. This was happening even before my modifications and only intermittently.
My mod is not at all important, but I'm curious why it doesn't work all the time. I'm not sure if it's related to my buttons not working regularly, but I suspect it does.
I am using Go Launcher and tried a variety of lockscreen apps. I just did a factory reset last night to see if it fixed it, but it didn't. I reloaded a minimal amount of apps. I am using the stock camera at this point (I didn't reload camera zoom fx--but it had the same issue before the factory reset anyway). Could this be related to an app or is there something deeper at fault? I doubt it's a hardware defect since it is corrected by touching the home button.
If you think you have an idea but need more info, let me know. I appreciate any suggestions!
I have an issue with this ROM but don't have the privileges to post in the official thread.
I have noticed a bug when using whatsapp, it was also present in albinomans 10.1 ROM. It may also be present it other messaging apps that use the camera but i have only used whatsapp.
When in a contacts message window on whatsapp you have a paperclip on the top right corner. If I click on it to attach a photo and choose camera, it will try to load the camera but the screen goes black. It will remain black even if i hit the back button or home button. the only way to get functionality back again is to repeatedly lock and unlock the phone and hit the home button each time its unlocked. Then if I try to enter whatsapp again it gives me the black screen again and will not respond to the back key or home key. I must repeat the locking and unlocking again, then when I have functionality, go to the settings menu and force close whatsapp. It's the only way to get it working again.
Could someone please post this in the main developers thread please? Thanks.
I flashed the Venom ROM. Ever since then I cannot use the lock screen shortcut to the camera. I.E. holding the phone horizontally and pressing the volume button.
I have enabled all the other gestures that I want, like swipe up and down but I cant find out how to get the camera back.
Anyone else have this issue? any solution?
Second this.
It stopped working a few days after I got the phone and I'm still on the stock rom.
This started even before I rooted/S-Offed/added custom recovery to the phone.
I'm running ViperOne & it works fine for me.
I figured it out. I needed to have the AOSP lock screen.

Never mind I lost my swipe gestures when I go to aosp. when I swipe the screen vibrates but nothing happens.
Hello,
After a few days of using the phone, I installed Lightning Launcher and set it as default. I got some bugs with the lockscreen (i'll explain later) so I reverted back to the Xperia original launcher.
Now, after not using LL, I still have that same issue. I'm pretty sure it hasn't anything to do with LL or anything, but I prefer mentionning it just in case.
(tl;dr)
Whenever I press power button, it is supposed to immediately scan the fingerprint. It doesn't anymore and instead of the normal lockscreen I have a completely blank screen, only with Back and Home button.
Finger is not scanned, I can't swipe in any direction BUT, if I press the Home button, lockscreen shows up (it slides from the left side), as if I already swiped to the right.
That's pretty annoying when the purpose of fingerprint scan is to immediately unlock
Got any idea ? Somebody has the same problem maybe ?
EDIT:
Okay my bad. I uninstalled LL completely and the problem didn't show up anymore. I reinstalled because I remembered it can also be used as a lockscreen, and i disabled that in its settings. I'll check if problem continues but if not, I'll come back to inform about it.
