I dont like the lockscreen a lot, so it irritates me how home button wakes my Note 3.
Easily disable this by navigating to system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl
Open up gpio-keys.kl with a text editor and scroll down to the bottom, you'll see there a list where it says "Home WAKE"
simply just edit the "WAKE" by erasing it and save, restart and your home button no more wakes the screen
Hope I didn't point out the obvious thing here, but I was happy to find this worked
Yeah, you need to be rooted with root rights for the file manager of your choice

I did this, too, but then you get the vibration motor running shortly every time you press home (at least this happened to mee). I reverted back as soon as xposed worked on the note 3 and installed wanam. There you have a simple checkbox to disable the wake on home button feature.

I've got an unlocked european N3. Maybe this makes a difference. But sure enough, the vibration on each and every home button press was really annoying.:silly:

anyone have a mod that does this?
sorry if this is in the wrong place. i'm new here.
I don't know of a patch for that yet, but I'm sure it's possible.
If we had CyanogenMod for the Charge, it would be baked into the ROM.
Someday ...
I would like to see this. possibly even disable the quick press options of the power button and reassign them to another combination. I hit the button all the time trying to do other things on the phone and then I get locked out and have to redo my pattern etc.
Widgetlocker app can do this for you.
Using Root Explorer or possibly Estrongs file explorer:
>Go to system>usr>keylayout>s3c-keypad.kl
>modify key 50 to look like this: HOME WAKE_DROPPED
>Then reoboot
Now home key wakes device!
UPDATE: Seems after it is asleep for a period of time it won't wake it anymore, have to work this out.
What application do we use to edit the value? A text editor? What do you suggest?
I use Root Explorer Long press open in text editor,
I think you can do the same with estrongs file explorer.

Sorry for the unnecessary request. I see it is in the other post.
It seems as though the front keypad module is not active once it goes completely to sleep, there for won't wake it.
If someone can figure this out, it will work just fine.

Definite thanks for looking into it. I'll try the app that bill mentioned and see if it makes a difference. I haven't yet rooted so I don't think I can do your version yet even if it works.

Are suggesting this because you have this on your Droid Charge and it is currently working correctly?
The reason I ask, is I tried a couple weeks back and could not get it working correctly.
I have it on my Charge. It works intermittently. I found that if the phone is asleep for a little while it usually does not work... occasionally it does work but no consistent pattern.
I'm also looking for a better fix than the app.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated!
The same thing happens when you just modify the key mapping, it's because the front keypad module is off when the phone sleeps.
So if it could be activated at all times that would fix it, but I imagine it may have some side effects to battery life.
This will disable the lock screen for good. After you do this fix you can wake up the Droid by briefly pressing the power button and it will go immediately to the home screen without any lock screen madness.
Go to Dialer and enter *#83786633, then press the home key
Go back into the Dialer, clear those numbers, then *#22745927
Now a screen will appear asking for the SPC Code, enter 000000
Press the Hiddenmenu Enable radio button, then press home button
To disable the lock screen (and power down pop up), go back into the Dialer and use the code *#7594#, select Shutdown and press the Home button. This, I have confirmed, does work on the Charge.
The new m8 just got root, and I'd like to see if anyone could fix the issue i have with the hardware key placement. Specifically, the position of the power button annoys me quite a bit. On the old One it was at least accessible through your index finger, but the m8 must have been designed by lefties!
I'm looking for a module that would swap the function of the power key with the vol+ key to see if that will fix my little hangup with this phone. No pun intended.
Thanks!

I'm surprised this isn't a bigger complaint amongst m8 users. Well, if anyone finds anything, please let me know! Thanks!

I'm also not a fan of the power button being switched. At least we can double tap the screen to unlock. Cuts down the usage a bit.

Agreed, but it doesn't help when wanting to lock it quickly with one hand after the phone has already been unlocked. I'm more interested in that function than waking it. But glad to see I'm not alone in this.

I use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock in tandem with Nova Launcher and just assign a gesture to it which in turn will turn the screen off and lock. Works great.
I just use gmd gesture control to do a three finger downward swipe to shut the device off.

For my purposes, I'm trying to find a one-handed solution. So 3 fingers is no help when the phone is in-hand. But thanks for sharing your idea!

What I did was use gravitybox > navigation key actions and then set back key long press to go to sleep. Works perfect but I am left handed so you might want a different key.

This is how I do it. Just a single finger swipe upwards shuts my screen off, then a double tap turns it back on. Works great for me!
Now if only someone could figure out how to get double tap (to wake) working in landscape mode.
Hey guys -- I just posted a fresh thread for this, but since I assume you all have weaksauce+xposed working...
After my soft-reboot to install xposed, wifi would not turn on. Did anyone else have anything similar happen?
I did weaksauce, phone off/on, install xposed, full reboot (accidentally), enable xposed, soft reboot, then no wifi when the phone came back up.
Any ideas?
Alright so running the leaked L build that our lord and savior @digitalhigh n ole' piratety Cap'n Throwback managed to get running on our devices but have one thing that is really bothering me. Screen. Off. My power button has for ages been messed up and weak to the click and well It's truly horrid to press and I used to always have 'hold back key to turn screen off' but well I don't anymore. Xposed is gone, my one true love...how can I replace her...how can I get over her beauty and learn to let her go and potentially even replace her?
My heart is with you Xposed!! But we must go our separate paths! - A very sad Shadow
( @Captain_Throwback lol )
Incase anyone managed to misunderstand my sad love story I'll skip to the point, is there any alternative ways to avoid pressing power button to turn screen off? For instance double tap status bar to sleep or holding back button to power off (both required Xposed 'I THINK', keyword "I THINK").

I ran 5.0 for a short time but ended up switching back to Sinless before I could check. On many devices going back to and including the T-Bolt (EDIT: I was searching for the same thing back then because of the same reason), I used an app from the play store called Screen Off and Lock and I personally use the donate version and always had it tied in with the "search" feature (either a physical button or drag up from the navbar without buttons). One (big) reason for me to switch back is not having Xposed.

That app is good enough, as long as I don't have to press the power button xD. Thanks! I'll check out the donate version in a second as from the looks of it the free one only has the option of tapping the icon to turn screen off but oh well.
EDIT: NVM
For anyone else who sees this thread feel free to leave more options if you have any! More options the better.
No problem and I couldn't remember the difference between the versions. EDIT: There should be 2 different icons in the launcher, one being the app itself to turn the screen off (?) and one just for the configuration unless it's set up differently on the free one.
Hello Everyone,
I don't know if I am missing something, but since the button on the Blu Pure XL do not light up... I wanted to add the bottom navigation bar with the back home and switch button but I can't!
I have installed Google Now Launcher... Nothing.
I have Nova Premium... Nothing.
Any suggestions?
Thank You
My buttons never light up even if I use another launcher .. if I hold the phone a certain way in the light - i can see them. But I have a general idea where they are so I just press the general area. Most times I hit it .. sometimes it takes a couple of taps.

I am aware that the buttons do not light up... i am trying to add the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen (on screen, software), so I would not have to worry about the hardware buttons.

I have just done this so it is confirmed working. First off you need to be rooted and have busybox installed. And if you are rooted you have twrp installed so I would recommend doing a backup. Anyway download a app called soft buttons from the play store. Open the app, open menu go down to capacitive keys menu open that and click on disable capacitive keys. Once all the permissions stuff stops popping up on the screen open menu and click on virtual keys menu then click on enable virtual keys. Wait till all the permissions stop popping up on the screen then reboot your phone. Once your rebooted you will have virtual menu buttons and your regular capacitive keys will be disabled so you don't hit them on accident.
There are also options to reverse the process a far as re enabling capacitive keys and disabling virtual keys as I have decided to do because I'd rather have the 1/4 inch or whatever of screen that it takes up.
so when i use 3 button navigation and i repeatedly press back or home button from an app it just shows for a split second a ghost image of the app i was in. a screen recording is attached as well.

Do you have any Magisk modules installed that could conflict with systemUI?
If not, have you installed any apps that require root access/adb commands to work properly? (eg. systemui tuner)

no nothing of that sort. i don't even have root on this and i dont have any apps that require adb commands. do you have the same issue on your end? try repeatedly tapping home/ back button on your pixel and let me know if you have the same issue.
I'm setup for no button/gestures atm with magisk & the aosp module which gives me mostly total control over gestures. If u ever want to try out root, now's the time...it's easier than ever! Just sayin'...cuz 3 button is prolly lot long for this world. Not only can u micro-manage the UI, you can squeeze approx. 20-30% more battery time outta android...usually. Switched to 3-button just to see...nothin' tho. Watched ur clip...strange indeed.

Luckily, no. I have tried to replicate the issue, doesn't happen my end.
I was having trouble with some apps previously that required adb to work. They would often make my quick settings glitch out, or sometimes have a similar effect when closing apps as what you currently experience.
Try to switch to gesture navigation, do a cold reboot, then switch back to 3 button?

What is it that you'd be looking for in a screen recording? I have no input lag when touching the home/back button, and there's no laggy animation for the app minimizing.

well i would just like you to send a screen recording of you REPEATEDLY pressing home button on different apps and third party apps. you may not have any input lag because you only press the home button once not repeatedly, so please.
