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.

Hello,
I've been using my new note 2 for two weeks now.. and I like it so much
I also used sgs2 and 3 before.
I'm not new to android.. I flashed roms, know every single setting in the device, rooted my sgs2 and tried lots of apps to customize them.
Regarding my issue, I like to set my device to none screen security because I always manually lock it with a press on the lock screen button after I do whatever I want to do with it, and to unlock I always press Home button to get back to where I was immediately without the need to swipe the lock screen.
The problem is when I lock it and there is an app running and then press the home button the screen goes to home default screen and do not just unlock the screen and keep it there where I was last, this was not the case with my sgs2 or sgs3.
If I press the lock screen button instead it does what I want but I prefer to use home button because its much easier.
Its not a big issue but its annoying sometimes because sometimes I get popup notification windows while the phone is locked (whatsapp for example) and I press the home button to see it and instead of just turning on the screen to see the window it goes back to home screen and the popup is gone, or in cases where I'am writing an email or reading something and meanwhile talking to somebody, if the screen gets locked, If I press the home button everything is gone. So I have to switch tasks to open my activity again.
I don't know if this is a jellybean issue or hardware (homebutton).
I know its not a big deal but I would appreciate if somebody can help get around this

This is a request for home button bug fix on the GS3 Verizon.
If there's no easy fix I'm going to have to go back to 4.04.
BUG: home button takes user to home screen instead of just turning the screen on.
Event: screen turns off, before phone locking, and user presses the home button to turn the screen back on. But user is taken to the home screen instead of just lighting the screen back up on existing app.
More evident on Nova launcher where if user presses home button after screen shuts off it takes them to screen selector.
This bug is annoying enough for me to go back to 4.04. I've just have about had it.
This Bug on the Jelly Bean OTA release is infected all of the custom roms.
Not sure if the fix is difficult.
I don't have that problem....

I'd be willing to bet that you don't have Svoice installed. I need more info. What ROM? Apps?

Like he said, install / push S-Voice. Fixes the issue.
BTW - this is probably the wrong place to post this question.
Been super busy at work but, i have OTA. Not any custom roms. So I do have SVoice installed.
if i'm the only one with this issue, then it may take a trip to Verizon store i guess to get a replacement.

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

On CM 10.1, whenever I get a notification and I open the app to respond, when I hit the back button to return to the previous app that I was using, I am taken to the home screen instead. Previously (on stock TouchWiz ROM), when I hit the back button it would take me to the most recent app that I had used. For example if I was browsing the web using the Chrome app and got an email notification, I would click on the notification to open the email app, respond and then hit the back button to go back to what I was doing. On TouchWiz, I would be taken back to the Chrome app, but on CM 10.1 I am taken to the home screen. Why is this and how can I make it so that I am taken back to the previous app (like on TW) and NOT the home screen?

anyone know anything that might help me here?
I'm not sure if this will help you. I'm using CLEANROM 6 R2 and not CM.

Not sure if this is where my question is supposed to go, I just joined. I'm having a minor frustration with my keyboard, because it won't go down when I want it to. What prompted me to create a thread for this: posting an Instagram story, pressing the back button so the keyboard will go away so I can select a text color... except, the text color options go away too when I press the back button. There's other instances where this has been annoying, that's just one example. On my browser, it'll go away if I scroll, but obviously not in all apps. :/
Main summary: My Sony Xperia z3 is rooted and I'm wondering if there's a tweak I can do, or a module to install, to make Gboard go away whenever I want it to. Swipe? Pressing the camera button? (It's unmapped, I originally wanted it to take screenshots but I can't seem to get that working with tasker or modules....) Pulling notification shade down? Possible to make any of those options close the keyboard?? I don't want to change keyboards so please don't suggest that, it's a modded version I'm using after installing iOS styled emojis.
Edit. Setting up tasker to switch my input method to null keyboard when I cover proximity sensor before switching back after 5 seconds allows me to do what I need to in Instagram, but this 'solution' is annoying and messy at best. Any better suggestions?
