How can i disable the on screen asnwer button

When some one calls me and i go to reach for the phone i tend to grab it by the screen and either answer it un-wanting or shoot them to voice mail, can i disable those buttons and just use the hardware buttons to answer and hang up?

You need Answerkeys Disabler. Cab file is attached.

You can try TouchLockPro, with registry setting LockTouchPanelOnly = 1.

Cool thanks guys, The auto locker works nice, i love the idea of being able to disable the buttons with that first tool but it doesn't work for me :-\. Any ideas?
I can open it and tells me its already enabled and asks if i would like to disable it, but the buttons still work.

Home Screen Tile Layouts? -- Whats Your's?

Saw a few good example's of this on other forums within XDA, Thought it'd be a good idea to get one going. Might as well get stuck in with my first post as well!
Here's mine to begin with.

What app did you use to get an image of your phones screen?

its built into Windows Phone 8, you press the Windows/Home Button and the power button at the same time and then it takes the picture, go to your photo's and it will be there in the folder "screenshots"

That exact way above! - Then used an app called 'Phototastic' and stitched everything together.

moved to general, not dev related.

Power > Home Button

I like to keep mine fairly simple.

Strange memory boost app...

When I press/hold the Back button, I get a popup that shows percentage of memory free. It has two options, close and boost. Boost frees up more memory. I have the all in one Gestures and have set my Back button press/hold to kill running app. Sometimes it does kill the app then other times this other pop-up shows up. I've tried while running Nova launcher and Touchwiz. Not sure if its a feature of the phone or if I have some rogue app installed. I just factory reset it yesterday yet again. I'll upload a pic in a bit.
Thanks.

Ok so apparently its the All in One Gestures app. When you use it to invoke the Kill App action, it starts whatever memory booster is installed in the phone. Must be a Samsung or Verizon installed app because I don't install memory boosters. Not since the days of Gingerbread. Haha. I turned off all in one gestures and the popup no longer appears.
Just to test, I set the Kill app action to a long press of the recents button and sure enough, the memory booster popup came back. Hmmm.

I am seeing this issue also, anyone figure out a way to not have this popup happen?

So how and where did you get that to come up from.. In settings ?
U.S and international s7 same phones stock besides processors
I don't have a native 3dot menu on stock rom. Or know what capacitive buttons to use unlike my s6 had this option

I didn't do anything. I just installed this from the Play Store and the menu was there.

FWIW long press on back button (or multitask button? can't recall) will emulate a "menu" button press for legacy apps
Edit: derp, I didn't see you already mentioned it in OP

A secret of the stock calculator app

Sometimes we need some scientific calculation functions, such as sin,cos,tan,exp,power,log,etc.
But we shall fail to find these functions when the stock calculator app is in standard mode.

If we rotate screen of our mate 9 phone to landscape mode, the stock calculator app will become a scientific calculator soon, which supports those advanced functions.

Coming from a note 4 so this might not be much of a secret lol, but if you double tap the recent apps button on the navbar (the square), it will open the last used app.
