I noticed that the home button doesn't react as fast as the bback button and was wondering if there was some sort of fix?
Thank you

It has a delay because it performs multiple functions: home, recent apps, gnow, search, so it waits for some time to detect any other input except home..

FakeCursor

Does anyone have experience in configuring FakeCursor?
I've kind of got it to work so far, I've assigned a hardware button to launch FakeCursor via it's shortcut, however when I press the button again to turn FakeCursor off it always goes back to the Home screen, which is annoying.
What I'd like to be able to do is just have one button which turns the cursor on and the same button to turn it off? Any ideas how I could get that configured?
Cheers
try sphelper, this is i think better...

SPHelper doesn't work with TomTom at all.

I have it mapped with Long_Home.lnk. The cross-hairs will appear for a second, then disappear and only reappear when you move it (with the directional pad).
Hold home to turn it on, hold home to turn it off (it will put you back on the home screen when it exits, this is a [poor] function of FakeCursor).

That's exactly how I have it configured . I was wondering if there was a way it wouldn't dump you back to the home screen, but it seems not?

I'm pretty sure that is a function of FakeCursor, not the mapping. It would be nice, but FakeCursor hasn't been updated for several years.

IDEA screen lock widget

Hey does anyone know of a widget that i could put on my homescreen to put my phone to sleep... i feel like having to hit the power button everytime is a bit annoying. Trackball wake takes care of getting the screen on but what about off?
Thanks guys
Any ideas? Or how hars would it even be possible?
So you want to replace pressing a single button, with pressing another single button..
I can understand his concerns, since people've reported that their power buttons have gotten worn off/need longer to press/etc. It's why I've taken up using Reboot Control for rebooting and powering down and Lockbot to press any button to wake up the phone. Another widget or app for turning off the screen would be great too, IMO.

am also having to use reboot control for this matter, having an extra standby widget would be perfect.
After wake with trackball, this is second most wanted for me (and i'll not touch power button again). There is a thread in app's section, but no replies till now. Can it be so difficult???
Even if there's no way to directly turn off the screen, there should be some way around it by doing something like saving the current screen timeout time, setting the screen timeout time to 0 (or somewhere between 0 and 1) so the screen will turn off, then set a timer for like 1 second to reset the screen timeout time to the original time?

Will pressing any button work with the Nexus One's non physical buttons (back, menu, home, search)?
Not the capacitive buttons, nope, just the volume rocker and the tracknipple.

Aww thought it might be possible to use a button which wouldn't become loose or unresponsive after too much use.
I feel like the power button would benefit in te long run from not being pressed multiple times per day and much more convienent to tap a widget on screen
I'm all for it. either an app or a widget, some short cut that can be added to the home screen to put it to sleep.

Ha! Tracknipple... funny as sh!t!!
maybe even double click trackball or long press one of the soft keys along the bottom of the screen
A widget would be a cool option instead of beating the power button to death
Why not just shorten the up time to less then 15 seconds?
Then you have too switch the time whenever your reading the news or a text longer than15 seconds.
So is a widget like this even possible?
Any news on this matter? Is it possible?

Second that. It seems my power button is beginning to fail already.

I discovered a bug on GB 2.3.6 (home button)

that's my configuration (i'm rooted)
thank you

i'm sorry didn't understand! i use swipe
Same here but after 20clicks
GB not rooted
On my swipe lock screen, if i press the home button twice the voice recognition screen pops up and the phone is unlocked. Have you guys set that up on yours?
Yup its because of Vilingo. 2 clicks of the home button will unlock the screen and launch the app. Disabling it works I think....

i didn't for the moment, but the strange thing is that you can open Voice Talk app without unlocking the phone...
who have the Note without home button (SGH-i717) must unlock the screen first then from the home screen touch Applications > Voice Talk.
I could accept the double click on home only AFTER the screen has been unlocked

It is not a bug. It is a feature. If you press the home button twice the voice talk app is activated. This only happens if you haven't set up any screen lock such as pattern lock or pin lock.

Yes it is a feature. If you have not enabled any screen unlocking then pressing home button while phone is asleep wakes it up and takes you on the lock screen and now if you press home button twice it will open the "voice talk" app. This feature is built into the stock rom. Now if takes 20 or more presses before you get into the voice talk app then it means there is some problem with the home button or some other settings in your phone. I hope it explains.

my home button works perfectly...that's the situation now that i've upgrated to ICS: only 2 clicks.
on GB 2.3.6 (20-30 clicks), and other users had the same issue. This can't be a feature.
In my opinion the screen must be unlocked with a swipe/gesture/etc because i set THAT unlocking method, i didn't set "double click on home button" (this option not even exist)!!
If i want to open voice talk i can swipe and then double click on home button...
Anyway on GB i'm pretty sure that doesn't work very well or isn't a feature (maybe a bug).
it's not a bug
this happens when you've changed your rom, etc
your previous setting of lock screen stays, but you'll have to "reset" it again by going to the security settings. once you've reenabled the passcode/swipe, this will not happen again

Hi , take a look at this article : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032117
I did it on my SGS3Mini GT-I8190 some time ago just to see if it really works and it does so no problems (don't know about the SGH-T599 US version though)
But bare in mind that TouchWiz will look strange with soft-keys as it is designed to use physical ones instead xD just change launcher

[Q] Home Button

Wondering if anyone else is having this problem, when I click on the home button to wake the phone it takes 4-6 seconds before it takes me to the lock screen. Any thing I can do to fix this?
Thanks

Just a thought, you might want to check apps like my magazine and S voice settings. They both have options to open via double pressing the home button. If these are enabled the home button may delay to see if a second press is coming. (Although 4-6 seconds seems excessive) I disabled that option in those app settings and have no delay when waking using the home button.

What if the s voice settings weren't the problem with home botton before the KitKat update ?

Removed your sdcard and test, if you dont have one nevermind
Does this always take a long time? As in if you have device on and press power button to turn off. Then immediately press the home button. Does it take a long time?
Maybe your device is in a really deep sleep and it needs to wake up. If it is in a deep sleep, that's a good thing. If we had a better kernel we could control the situation better. Unfortunately we can't get one at the moment.
