Mount as R/W
Open /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl. with text editor
Go to "key 172 HOME WAKE" line
Delete word WAKE
Save and exit
Reboot phone
That's all , now you stoped the home button from waking up your device.
Probably working on all roms but i tested with rooted stock rom.
Will work on rooted stock roms for sure

That seems like the complete opposite of its purpose when the device is in sleep.
But you can just turn off the lock screen, and you accomplish what you're asking for. No security at all though. Butt dials like a mother. No one wants that.

I know it's the complete opposite of this mod but it will be faster (IMO) to double click the home button to wake-unlock the device.
But no lock screen will definitely cause butt dials

looking for the same thing.
Not working in Sprint S4 running liquid smooth (AOSP is ya didn't know). Been searching everywhere. Anyone know if there's a way to disable it on AOSP roms? Tried removing wake from every single file inside the key layout folder but met with no success...
Thanks, it was very useful to me, to re-enable the wake up screen on home button.

Honestly, it's a timing issue... I used to have a hard time getting shots by holding Back and then hitting Home, but I've gotten MUCH better at it. It's all in the timing of how you do it, the best way i can explain it is to press back and kind of say "one one-thousand" to yourself then tap Home without moving your finger off of Back. You'll here the camera shutter sound and it'll be saved to your SD card in a folder for screen shots.
This is the only way I take my shots and it works fine, provided you've got the timing down (also, I've only used Froyo ROMs).

There are still some things you'll never get a screenshot with. Why not just use one of the screen capture apps like DroCap or Shootme? There are likely hundreds more that do the same thing as well.

i will def give them a shot... thank you!!!
So, I think the S3 is great - but I have little things to pick at. Most of all, I can't understand what takes so long between pressing the (hard) home button, for example, and returning to the home screen. I mean, it's silly-long.
I've rooted all my other android phones with great satisfaction. I'm wondering if I root and install a custom ROM - will I be able to fix this. I'm thinking of installing one of the stock builds, but just wondering if they are faster.

i set only 1 min to auto-lock
the only way to unlock is by using power button, everytime i push im afraid that the button will go crazy
do you guys know any way to avoid this issue ?
i've search many app but they all use proximity sensors and i've tried it and nothing worked
i installed smart screen off v3.3 and thing went worse.... the screen stucked and trying to off-on-off-on-off-on everysecond
You can unlock by removing the s-pen, too.

I don't think using the word RAPE earns you much respect.
Oh and it's a tablet not a phone.
I use screen off fx for powering down, gives a virtual powerbutton on your screen with some nice off-effects, and its free! That halves use of powerbutton.

Is there a app that doesn't lock the screen when the display turns off, I find it a bit annoying on android to turn on the phone, on symbian I just had to press any key to turn on the display without unlocking it, and lock it only using the lock key.
I prefer a app like LG G2's Knock On.

Thanks for the apps but with both the apps the phone gets locked after the screen turns off, I wanted a app that turns off the autolock of phone and just turns off the screen to save power. So I can press any key on the phone to see the screen without unlocking it each time.

I can press any key except the volume rockers which leaves the obvious power button and the home button will turn my screen on and with no lock screen it does what you want it to.

Why don't you wanna use power button?
If custom kernels are available yet then grab yourself one with touch to wake...
I'm pretty sure that your device has nfc..... You can use xposed and some nfc unlocking apps available here or on Google play....
And the most best one! Plug in you headset or charger and you device will wake up! No root no hastle or any additional app needed!

Why don't you want to use your power button?
Anyway , there are some custom ROMs that allow you to wake the phone up by pressing the volume buttons.
and there are some custom kernels available to wake your phone up by swiping over the buttons. this feature is called Sweep2Wake (S2W) .
But if you don't want to use custom ROMs/Kernels on your phone then you can try using some apps that wake your phone up by using your proximity sensors or light sensors. But this kind of apps will most likely drain your battery,
So if you don't want to root your phone and unlock it then just stick to using the power button !
Please press the thanks button if i helped !

Well, nfc is Near Field Communication. Unlocking your device with this technique just looks much more awesome. Just buy some nfc tags and configure to use them, swipe your phone over them and your phone wakes up!
Just search nfc unlocker or similar on google play store and the app would guide you for the next steps.
In my device, i have some special mods available which would turn the phone on when a configured tag is swiped even when the screen is off. Just search something similar, As your device is new in the market, you will have to wait till some serious development starts on for your device (custom kernels and ROMs available though)....
But I still don't get the harm not using your power button..... It won't wear off trust me

Well I don't know there are many apps for that! Just type it in the store and you'll find many.
And if you want to root your phone the first thing you need to do is unlock your bootloader. Have you unlocked your bootloader?

Well you can use another rooted android phone. But you'd need an OTG Cable and a Micro USB Cable. And that other android phone must support OTG too.

Hey! I found a really cool app named 'Gravity' which used the proximity sensor to wake your device when you take it out of you pocket or pick it up from a table. And it is capable of doing the reverse too (locking). It doesn't leeches battery (even doesn't shows in the stats) and does not require any root access. Just install and your ready to rock!
