Alright guys,
Pretty much what I'm after is a launcher shortcut which locks our gear.. The reason for this when using custom launchers the home/power button by default does not lock the device anymore.
It seems that particular feature was hardcoded into the TW launcher.
There are various applications available on the playstore, although I haven't found any which work on the gear as they require additional settings to be enabled in a traditional settings dialog.. which obviously we dont have.
If anyone has any ideas please post ! Or even better if you know of a app in mind which works !

MUST BE ROOTED
1. Push a Root File Manager or adb to your gear.
2. Navigate to "/system/usr/keylayout", Open/pull the "gpio-keys.kl" file.. Confirm any root permission popup's.
3. Modify "Key 172 HOME" to "Key 172 POWER", Using a text editor.
4. Save/Push changes.
5. Restart gear.
I like to use adb to pull the files I want to modify to my desktop, Modify them, Place them on the SDCARD of the gear and then manually place them using a root file browser to their original locations. Also remember to set permissions, Imitate any other permissions in the same directory.

Can you try editing gpio-keys.kl in /system/usr/keylayout
I think that is the file that tells the os what hardware buttons do
btw this idea got me thinking about enabling mass storage, but I had no luck with the couple of apps I tried. I think kernel needs ums module

Genius. Worked a charm.. I sussed the keylayouts out previously.. I was looking at Generic.kl..
Modified Key 172 to POWER and it works a charm.

I found it in a chinese forum (bbs.gfan.com/android-2014369-1-1.html)
I'm sure most people found the G button useless, so it would be nice to change that. The following is my experience with it:
The position of the G button make it perfectly useful as lock/unlock button, you can use it to shutdown as well, but cannot use it to switch on the phone, I guess it is electrically hardwired to the power button at the top.
Not too bad for camera, long press it will launch the camera app, but it don't have 2 levels so press it once and it will start auto-focus and take picture immediately, similar to touch and release shutter button in camera app, which mean you can't "dis-engage" a failed focus attempt.
here is the method:
1. make sure you have root and r/w to system partition
2. the file in question is "TWL4030_Keypad.kl", it's in /system/usr/keylayout/
3. before making any changes, copy the file to SDcard as a backup
4. open the file with any text editor, scroll down to 3rd line from the bottom, it should be "key 95 GESTURE"
5. if you want to use it as camera button, change it to "key 95 CAMERA WAKE_DROPPED"
if you want to use it as power/lock button, change it to "key 95 POWER WAKE_DROPPED"
6. save the changes, reboot to see the changes.
Very good.
In fact, I may even use this on nova.
the method is work.
after edit file it create backup file which is name "TWL4030_Keypad.kl.bak"
It works! Great!
worked perfectly thx!
thank u..

hey, i was followed this method but my Optimus Black can't use it .. when i push my Gesture it can't go to camera .. somebody help me ??
My phone still on Original ROM.
After modify to Power/Lock mode, it's work.

notice you need to long press to start the Camera App. (you should feel the phone vibrate)
or just start the camera app, then press the G button to take a picture to see if it works.
It should be a pretty straight forward modification.
Could it be
"key 95 RECOVERY WAKE_DROPPED" ???
wow, very nice
Very nice. Thanks.
To all who could not manage get it to work: You must take care of file attributes after modyfing the file content ( otherwise it won't work ). It must be CHMOD 644.
( I use SD Maid for this )
It doesn't work for me, i am using pays ROM. Can someone upload the file? Thank u!

PREVENT - ALLOW GALAXY NOTE HOME KEY FROM ACCIDENTALLY WAKE UP DEVICE:
Some people complained about the Home keys of Galaxy Note sometime is touched and turned on accidentally when taking it in-out of the pocket.
After studying some articles on-line for Droid X phone (not same as the Galaxy Note), I digged around in the directory system/usr/ keylayout. Finally, I have found a way to do it. I can disable the HOME key from wake up the phone in off-screen state, but still let it to move from apps drawer to standby screen as usual. And I think it works!!
- Goal: Modify 2 file related to wake up function of the Home key (code 102).
- How to:
+ Using Root Explorer go to the folder: system/usr/keylayout, set permission to Mount R/W;
+ Click to select the 2 files: gpio-key.kl and sec_key.kl to modify them. When the menu appears, select: Text Editor to modify the files.
+ Move to the line: "key 102 HOME WAKE" in the 2 files above and put the cursor on the position of "WAKE" to erase the word "WAKE".
+ Press Menu hard button, select Save Changes, the phone will save the backup file and save the current files.
+ Set permission to Mount R/O for the folder: system/usr/ keylayout.
+ Shut down and then restart, Ahh, it worked!
Note: If you want to use Home key to wake up Galaxy Note again, go to delete two above modified files and rename the two backup files to gpio-key.kl and sec_key.
For people don't want to do it manually, I make the 2 flashable files for Allow and Disallow the Home key for Note and tested for working, at least on my Galaxy Note.
The 2 flashable files to do that is attached below. Copy to SDCard/ExternalCard and flash them in CWM Recovery, then reboot:
works for me. thx.

It looks like we need to change more/other files for this to work , wile when i canche the here adviced ones , nothing seems to change ,, the volume buttens still behave the same.
/system/usr/keylayout/sec_key.kl is changed to..
key 115 POWER WAKE
key 114 POWER WAKE
key 102 HOME WAKE
key 107 ENDCALL
key 105 DPAD_LEFT
key 106 DPAD_RIGHT
key 103 DPAD_UP
key 108 DPAD_DOWN
key 232 DPAD_CENTER
key 116 POWER WAKE
key 212 CAMERA WAKE
look at line 115 and 114 this would change te volume button function in the power funtion , i suspect , AM I RIGHT ????
in fact this does not change the behavior of the volume buttons at all it still changes te volume , btw i did restart after changing te sec_key.kl file
please advice manny thanks in advance

Hi all
Eventually........have rooted KFHD then got brave and installed Google Market....only issue is that KFHD will not auto rotate and bottom menu bar is missing.
Any help please?
Download LMT https://www.dropbox.com/s/h7xwelcg8uzyaee/LMT_v1.91.apk.... Install.
Open and choose start service. Click the pie tab at the top and configure your pie items. (eg. Pie item 1, set to home. Pie item 2, set to back. Etc)
If you want the stock softkeys/navbar back then do this next:
Download ES File Explorer here https://www.dropbox.com/s/u227um3vt3o2yzx/ES.apk
Install and open. Open the menu (using one of the LMT pie buttons you created) scroll to the bottom. Choose root settings. Check all (grant su permission)

Sure.
I assume that one of the pie keys have been set to the menu option.
Check the pictures below.
The first picture is the settings bar. Choose settings.
Scroll down to "root settings" (see second picture near the bottom)
Open root settings and make sure all are checked, 3rd picture (4 or 5 boxes, depends on version) and grant su permission.
Navigate to the /system/ folder as seen in 4th picture.
click on build.prop and choose ES Note Editor, as seen in 5th picture
Find the code I point out in the 6th picture and carefully change the 1 to a 0 by clicking on the screen. If it already says 0, then we need to get you the softkeys.apk.
lets try this first.

Before we have you download anything, let's make sure you need to.

Go back to Build.prop file in /system/
Sometimes there's a second entry of "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" in there. Look for it.
Could you also let me know what method you used to root?

There is no 'second entry of "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1"

Yes, qemu.hw.mainkeys= # is the code. 1 or 0 is just the number that identifies the different state. So it's all good.
As far as why your nav bar isn't showing up...... I dunno. You have now passed the realm of which I can be of assistance.
I suggest you post your problem on the Kindle Fire First Aide thread. Be sure to include the information we have already covered to save some time.

This tweak worked on the stock T-Mobile OCG ROM, and will likely work for other stock based ROM's.
I used the "SQLite Editor" app to do this tweak. Other SQLite editors should work as well.
1.Launch SQLite Editor and select "Files" and drill down into /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
2. Select "system"
3. Press the "+" option
4. Leave _id set to auto
5. Add in the name field "notification_panel_brightness_adjustment" (without the quotes)
6. Add in the value field "0" (number zero without the quotes)
7. Press save
8. Exit and reboot
If you decide at a later time you want it back, just change the value of that field to a 1 then save and reboot.

Thanks, I had been looking at another tutorial involving cutting a few lines from status_bar_extended, but it hadn't occurred to me simply to change its size to zero in dimens. >.<
This doesn't seem worth a whole new thread, so I've attached a systemui whose only change is the removal of the sfinder/qconnect bar. I believe you also have to delete the arm64/SystemUI.odex.art.xz file for things to work properly.
Edit for basic instructions:
Use a root-enabled file manager or console to replace /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk with the attached file, and delete /system/priv-app/SystemUI/arm64/SystemUI.odex.art.xz. Make sure the permissions of the new SystemUI.apk are rw-r--r-- (chmod 644 /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk at the console). Reboot and enjoy.
Caveat: you may not be able to swipe away notifications from within the region previously taken up by the sfinder/qconnect bar.
Great! Can also be done via adb:
Code:
adb shell settings put system notification_panel_brightness_adjustment 0

Thanks, I had been looking at another tutorial involving cutting a few lines from status_bar_extended, but it hadn't occurred to me simply to change its size to zero in dimens. >.<

How would you get it to work, I tried to install it but it won't install.

You either need a root-enabled file manager or su at a console, and replace /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk with the file I provided, and delete /system/priv-app/SystemUI/arm64/SystemUI.odex.art.xz, then reboot. As always, I strongly recommend making backups and of course, I can provide no guarantees, yadda yadda.

Awesome! Works perfectly! Thanks so much. Just a reminder to relative noobs like myself to change the appropriate permissions in the new SystemUI file to -rw-r--r--. I forgot to do so first try, and lost both the status bar and the lockscreen. Fixed now, but had a moment or two of panic...

BINGO. Yea i forgot to mention that in my response, as well. Always fix permissions
Hey all. Other day i look around floating_feature.xml in system/etc and i found the line for config nav bar:
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_NAVIGATION_BAR_THEME>SupportLightNavigationBar|SupportForceTouch|SupportCustomBgColor|SupportNaviBarRemoteView</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_NAVIGATION_BAR_THEME>
I think if theres an option "SupportLightNavigationBar" lets see if "SupporrDarkNavigationBar" works. And it worked
Don't know if anyone have dicover that but i wann share it with you.
Final code:
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_NAVIGATION_BAR_THEME>SupportLightNavigationBar|SupportForceTouch|SupportCustomBgColor|SupportNaviBarRemoteView|SupportDarkNavigationBar</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_NAVIGATION_BAR_THEME>

I think you can push it via adb. If anyone could help with it

Fairly sure you need to be rooted to mod system files even with ADB, or at least have TWRP installed, in which case you might as well root too as you have already tripped KNOX
or you can just use this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by4a.setedit22
set
need_dark_navigationbar to 1
need_dark_statusbar to 1
then go switch it to black..
you might need adb initially to get the app permission but its only needed to do once.. actually, you dont need permission for that as its in system settings.. if u want to change secure or global settings you need to set the adb perms

not true in this case.. those values are in settings.. you can do it in adb also if you use the settings binary similar to what i just posted.. the app is probably the easiest tho plus u can edit pretty much any setting with the app

Just changed those lines both to 1, but no black has appeared
Also I have a problem with low notification / ringtone sounds, I see there are level settings for that too
What is the adb command to get the full permissions for the app to edit everything? The values are reset back to 0 after a reboot

Did you have any luck figuring this out? The settings don't seem to stick on reboot.

Not with this method, I use this now instead, works flawlessly

Exclude the app from power saving though or you'll need to open it again to reapply some of the tweaks
