[Mod] S4 Stock ROOTED rom change HOME button wake mode

I AM NOT TAKING ANY CREDIT FOR THIS, FOUND ON GOOGLE AND WANT TO SHARE
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

Can we make the home button wake and unlock the device?

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.

Not work

So, this will turn on Assist if it's plugged into AC? Do you have plans for Tasker integration?

Guess I gotta get Root now.......somehow.

I haven't had a chance yet to try this...will try sometime this weekend...is there any thoughts to also having this turn on when headphones are plugged in?
Thanks for making this!

Very cool!
I was just telling my co-worker (we work for ATT & both have Moto Xs) that this is exactly what someone will make soon ... and BAM here it is!
Works great thank you!

This app is great! One thing though if you could look into it please, with screen rotation locked it still rotates the screen and then I'd get a black screen with my clock widget in the left or right middle of the screen. I'll try to take a screen shot of it when I can recreate it.

Done!

So far my experience with the app has been great! I do get the bug where the car mode is enabled each time but no big deal.
Great app...exactly what I was hoping for!

Turn the home button into a capacitive touch button!

This is a great app with huge potential

Gave it a go yesterday, thing is legit and works pretty well too.
I haven't noticed any battery drain to be honest, if there was any, it was so dang minimal that I didn't notice it.

Great app, a shame that the wake function no longer works though...

What is stopping you from just running the previous version if you like that feature? Google easyHome for Samsung 1.10 if you need a copy. I use fingerprint lock so that feature doesn't work for me.

Really missed the feature....

I think it's great

The most recent update has made a great app even better. It seems faster and even more accurate now.

Great app but android keeps disabling it. Very frustrating!

easy home app

Anyone using easy home app and have experience with the pro version. For those who don't know the app turns you home key into a capacitive button rather then a physical button. I don't know for sure but I've read that it supports the N5, S6, S6E, and S6E+. I have also read about N4, and S5 users using it. I really like the app and it works well. I really missed my OnePlus 2 home button.

Did you know that if you use the app you described you will no longer be able to
use the fingerprint security function unless you uninstall the app or totally disable it.
Good luck,
Have a Happy Merry Christmas.

I'm not quite sure I understand. When I try to bypass my lockscreen with any other fingers then I have setup in the fingerprint settings it will not unlock and prompts me to enter a backup password. So I'm not sure if they have fixed thas issue but lockscreen fingerprint login and last pass fingerprint login seem to be working fine for me.

You are 100% wrong and shouldn't mislead other people. I've been using the app since it was posted a few months ago by @Jawomo it works exactly as it should. I've been using it everyday for months with my fingerprint unlock and have never had a failed unlock.

It was really hit or miss for me. I only tried it for a few minutes, but it felt like it didn't work 100% of the time. I'll give it another shot.

How do I bypass the pin lock when I use finger print scanner to unlock the screen?

I want to use fingerprint scanner without having to also input the pin code. Is this possible?

It is only when you reboot, and haven't seen a mod like that for the lat two phones.

Under security you can change it so you don't have to type pin in when you boot phone up

Screenshot? I don't see that option.. I don’t think he's referring to the bootup pin, it's the lockscreen pin once it has booted

Correct. I want to use the fingerprint security without having to use the pin.

It seems to me that the fingerprint scanner is rather useless if you still have to use your pin, or pattern.

This is only after a reboot, there you have to type your pin one time, I afterwards just the fingerprint.
For the complete use if fingerprint you have to wait for a custom rom that has is built in.

If also noticed that after a certain amount of time you have to type pin in I remember seeing it saying something along the lines of you could stop pin after reboot but I think that might have been the s8+ I don't have to type pin in if I turn off the u11

.
My fingerprint scanner works fine and I only need to use the pin on reboot.
I however also use Extended Controls and have a Lock button on there. When I use that I have to put in my pin with my fingerprint.
I think its something to do with the way the apps "lock" the phone as I believe other people with other phones have a similar issue as well.
When the phone locks itself or if I push the power button to lock it, fingerprint works fine by itself.

It happened at Nova launcher. From lock position, asking for pin instead of finger print.

I now have that mod in my ROM

So, after reading a little more online, it appears that Android's unlocking with fingerprint only will NOT tolerate any other app input. I may have to give up on my beloved AC Display app, which would display notifications briefly. I also use Gravity Screen app, but it has a setting that (hopefully) makes it more compatible. I've never rooted a phone before, and I'm not thrilled with starting now, given the hassles of OTA updates, etc.
We'll see what happens . . .

Revoke admin right to nova launcher.
Also in nova advanced settings choose timeout lock instead of root method.

I know this but it take 5~10 seconds to really turn off screen because of Android security.
During these seconds... If you touch soft buttons screen turns on.
Very annoying

Yes, with this program it will take 5 seconds to fully turn off the screen.
...and I confirm you have to be careful with home and multitasking buttons, but with time you will get accustomed to.
This is the 1st smartphone I am keeping full stock (messing with them since HTC Windows mobile devices) and as of now this is the best program I have found...
I am missing long press home button to turn off the screen, like OnePlus devices

If you miss the OnePlus unlock, you can use Edge Sense + Screen Lock Pro
