[Q] please help.. my s6500d home button only works on homescreen - Samsung Galaxy Mini

hi @TheWhisp
thanks for your great works on s6500d. I flashed my s6500d using your rom, cm-10.1-20130920-UNOFFICIAL-jenad.zip. everything works fine except my home button only works on homescreen. when i open an app (facebook for example), and press home button, the home button doesnt work so I must press back multiple times to get back to homescreen.
Please help me.. I can't provide logs for now, but after little research I heard this problem has something to do with hw_config.sh.
many thanks & regards

This is unique case That's hard to advise the distance ... without logs...

Maybe you have freezed some system app like me. Unfortunately I cannot find which. Just unfreeze them all.

If you also press power menu, and find only power off option, you deleted setup wizard app from system or gapps.zip
This apk is important to config. system. If you don't want to use setup wizard just edit buid.prop
I tested this on stock rom:
Code:
ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED

com.android.keyguard was in my case

LG P970 won´t start!

Since yesterday I have the following problem:
If I take my OB from the power plug and close the screen with the "lock" - button (top right) to turn off, the Screen remains black.
I can press any key but nothing happens!
Only when I take the battery out and re-launch it works again OB. At least until I turn off the screen again. However, the mobile is connected to the AC adapter or via USB connected to the PC, I have no problems until now!
I hope anyone cold help me!

At least you also mention your system configuration, Stock ROM, CM build, kernel, etc.
I´m using the CM71 Nightly withe the Nova2.6.35.7 v11c Kernel. The build No. is GWK74.
Can you take logs? First you have to activate log module via Nova Application, then reboot.
I made the log file.
Where can i find it to post it here? By the way: sometimes my phone shows me the cwm bootscreen but i´ve done nothing to reboot!!! Its like i discribe in the first post.
Yes, here? upload it to pastebin, dropbox, box.net or else. If you can't post link because having less post, remove your http:// at front of your link, or code it with

I mean where can i find the logfile? Where is it stored on my phone?

Ouw, sorry, you can catch log with app, like this one https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nolanlawson.logcat
Make record with it, then reproduce your problem..

I can´t reproduce it by myself. it happens when my phone want it to do!

okay lemme get this straight
aprold said (i believe i red it somewhere), when the first time you flash his v11 kernel, the G button wasn't assign to anywhere
and when you reboot, the system replace the keylayout with his keylayout
with the null G button variable, i believe this make an error and create an empty keylayout to the hard button
at least that's what i tought
Ok! i´ll try it! Where can i change the setting of the "G" button? is it in the Nova menu?
yes,it's on the Nova Setting
but i'm not saying it'll work 100%
just trying to help
It looks like it is working! Let´s see what happen the next few minutes/hours/days!
Thank u all!!!
It was the G button! Thank u guys for the great help!!!

u're welcome

ICS Home button not working

I searched in the Rocket, midnote and Criskelo threads but I couldnt really find any solutions. A few people have had same issue but I couldnt find any solutions.
I have tried all of the above ICS roms and they all work great other than the fact that the home button does not work to go home. It will wake up the device however. Am I missing something?
Also searching.
Until yet only got to know its the ICS Pre-Keyboard causing a remapping of the Numbers assigned to functions (Hardkeys)
My homebutton isnt working either anywhere but it can unlock the device (Escape Lockscreen)
Yet trying to find out whats the keynumber in the generic.kl (/system/usr/keylayout) to assign the "ESCAPE" by myself to the correct number. Hope it helps - also heard rumours talking about its a driver issue - i dont hope so ...
Maybe someone with a note (edit: [email protected]) could post his "generic.kl", maybe theres a simple difference and we could easy get rid of it ;-)
I had the same issue even after a full factory reset and reroot. It happened with the chinese leak and with midnote. I'd give anything for a solution to this problem.
The funny thing is:
If i flash the stock buggy ICS "I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK.tar" via Odin the Homebutton is fully working (But everything else not very well ). I am doing it right now for getting a backup of the whole /usr folder.
After that i will flash the rocketrom again where the homebutton isnt working and going to try to find the difference in these keyboard files. Maybe thats all ...
Hope ill get it soon - maybe even my approach is totally wrong, but hey: try is in the eating. If it is really driver related i cant do anything to get that button working - just wait till some devs get intouch with that issue.
I'm rooting for you, friend.
Call it coincidence, but right after reading your thread, my home button has topped working too
Anyhow, in sec_key.kl, the HOME key is listed with 102. Same in gpio-keys. kl, and qwerty.kl. This value is the same across AOSP v4, v5 and MIUI rev 4a, and ROMOW V1.
In generic.kl, 102 is MOVE_HOME.
This leads me to believe that the key is indeed mapped correctly, and that changing it to ESCAPE won't work. Why? I tried something. In 'melfas-touchkey.kl' and 'sec_touchkey.kl', keycodes for both the capacitive buttons are assigned.
key 158 BACK WAKE
key 139 MENU WAKE
I changed 139 to HOME in both the files, and rebooted. The button itself stopped working, but was able to wake the phone(behaving exactly like the home key). This suggests that the problem has nothing to do with the key mapping, but the HOME action itself.
I haven't tried to change 102 with something else, but I'm about to do just that, to see if the button works if mapped to some other command. If nothing works, I'll flash the whole thing again (GB->CF repack>AOSP) and pray it works
If flashing the whole thing over again ends up working, can you please give us the details of what stock rom you used at the start? I did a full wipe to a stock KK1 rom and went from there and the home button issue persisted. I'll promise to donate to the first person that comes up with a solution

Yes, flashing the whole thing again works. You NEED to flash Chainfire's ICS repack before flashing any ICS ROM. Get it here : http://www.mirorii.com/fichier/3/501208/I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK-tar.html
I'm on AOSPv4.
CF's repack can be flashed via mobile/PC Odin(PC Odin will increase your binary count and give you a yellow triangle, mobile odin will NOT.)
What I did was to go to KL3 rootable GB ROM(India), root it with zergrush, install CF root kernel, then Mobile ODIN-ed to CF ICS repack. (Make sure you keep 'enable everroot' UNCHECKED. CF repack is already rooted.)
After that, you have CWM to go to any other ROM. I believe you need to flash a base and the final release for RocketRom, or MIUI.
You are my hero bloodyhippo! Set up a donate link. You've earned it

Glad to help Lance! Though this is nothing new, flashing the whole thing in the manner it is supposed to be done removes most all problems that aren't official bugs. So, it's definitely not donation-worthy, but I've added a donation email, just in case ;-)
It's donate-worthy to me! You have no idea how many headaches I've had over this thing. Now I finally get to enjoy some ICS goodness.
Aw, thanks!

I really didn't think it was that big a headache for you! You know, I didn't read most of the developer's thread, so I had no idea this problem even existed. And my button stopped working after I updated to AOSP v5, while reading this thread
Anyhow, I'm glad(and lucky ) to have helped you out! Thanks for the $$
[EDIT] I think I'll re-donate it to some dev. Now that's a lot of options
home button working again
I upgraded from Stock Samsung N7000DDLB2 2.3.6 2012 February to (18.05.2012) AlBa XXLPY Full Repack v2.2 with a full wipe.
Everything was working fine in the beginning (i had setup a pattern lock too), till I restored all apps and data. I had restored contacts, sms too after which I noticed the home button stopped taking me back other than waking up the device and there was no pattern lock either. Somehow, that had gotten disabled and reset to back to swype unlock. Now, I setup the pattern lock again and the home button started working again. Went back to swype instead of pattern(without reboot) and home button still works. Any thought on how that happening?

[Q] Home Button Spontanous pressing ( Didn't find a Solution )

I got a problem with my aunt's mobile ( galaxy s plus i9001 ), the problem is the home button is pressing spontaneously & it's very annoying , she can't access anything & it happen often when moving the mobile...
I don't know what the problem is , i searched everywhere for a solution but with no benefit... If some1 could tell me what to do? or if I can disable the home button completely...
the phone is rooted & i tried to install a new rom... also nothing changed...
Thanks in advance for any1 who could help...
Same here.
I didn't find a solution, but I figured out it happens only on 2G. When you're on WiFi or 3G, or data transfer is completely disabled - the problem is gone.

hello!
so this probably isn't needed anymore but for future google searches:
how to disable the home button for waking the phone:
i'm on cyanogen mod 10, i did a litle tinkering. mount system with some root explorer. then go to system/usr/keylayout
change permissions to the file "aries_keypad" to RW.
open that file in an text editor and delete "key 102 home wake" just to "key 102 home".
save the file, reboot your phone and voila! no more waking the phone from a faulty home button.
i couldn't find a screwdriver to disasemble the phone but u should definetly do that instead!
cheers!
ohh, and just wanna say thanx XDA!
Hi @shaadd0w , i don't know if you have found a solution, but look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38948474&postcount=2 Christopher83 released kernels for ICS and for JB with a new kernel module called Phantom Key Presses filter to avoid this behaviour (is an hardware issue, related to the antenna) no kernel for GB implements this module, so you have to install a ICS or JB rom. this module is also included in every 3.4 kernel for i9001. if you install a kernel with this module you have to enable home key filtering (by default it is disabled). you can easily manage all this settings with this app (it will work only if you have a kernel with this module) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265256, it is even on play store!
Sounds more like a manufacture problem. Take the phone apart. Or if its still under warranty (Who knows?) Flash stock and return.

Need Help ..

hi im new here, so if i posted in the wrong section of the forum , please pardon me ..
anyways, i need help with my tablet, is made by huawei , not really sure what model this is but its just a low end device but still somewhat important to me since it was a gift. going back, i have rooted way back , and earlier today i installed an app called app root delete, it basically uninstalls app etc., now it has two options one is the safe mode and the other i forgot, in safe mode the app basically only disables/hides the app and you can later enable it again , and the other (the one i forget) totally uninstalls the app ,now for my problem , i was playing with using the SAFE MODE option, i was scrolling down and up since i was surprise there were alot of "apps" which i dont even remember installing , and while i was scrolling back and fort my tablet suddenly freezes and i accidentally "uninstalled/disabled" an app which im not suppose to, then i suddenly got an error message which i cant really remember but it said something like "androind.something suddenly stopped working" and it gave me an option to force close it , i kept clicking on the force close button but im still having the error message and thats when i decided to turn it off using the power key , and now when i power it on again , its always stuck on the welcome screen , i've tried powering it off and on several times, but still its stuck in the welcome screen , i hope you guys can help me. thanks in advance
Several issues with your thread.
1) Without knowing the exact model tablet you have, nobody can help you. You need to find this first.
2) Once you find out which model you have, search for its corresponding forum, and search there for information to help you. If need be, make a thread in its [email protected] forum
For what it's worth, it sounds like you are to have to delete all your data, and flash a stock ROM. Follow steps one and two, and you should be good.
