Hey so when my phone is in my pocket it turns on by its self and i think its the home button being pressed. I have all the gesture stuff turned off. I was wondering if I could make it so hitting the home button doesnt turn on the phone, ya know, cause thats what the power button is for. Also if I could make the recent apps button into a menu button(instead of having to long press it) that would be cool to.
No case? Pants too tight? I had the wave to wake checked for some reason and that kept turning it on.
I would also like to be able to shut the home button off to wake the phone. I have a good case on mine and I wear loose pants and my screen still turns on.

Wanam xposed had an option to disable the home button from turning on the screen.
For the changing the recents button to menu, you have to edit /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
find button 254 and change it from APP_SWITCH to MENU
Just making sure we are talking about the same thing.
I'm not sure which settings you're liking at but I was referring to the wanam xposed system settings (if you're using xposed)
I was referring to the OP and was showing the phone settings.

Hi fellas.
The power button of my diamond has submerged slightly, and I'm trying to use it less frequently.
I turn off my device now using G-sen and flipping it down. As for turning it back on, I have to use the power button. I've also selected "Do not lock buttons" under keylock settings. It works great, l but I only want to use the action button to wake up the device.
Other than the "lock all buttons except power button", is there a way I can "lock all butons except the power/action button" ?
Thanks!
Help.... Anyone?
yes i want to find out too!... it will be so useful if thats possible
Turn off the phone by turning it face down.
Turn on - by taking the pen out.
So you don't use the power button...

Nice one, bro...
But I hardly use the stylus...
Anyone?
You don't need to lock any buttons. If all you want is not to press any buttons accidentally in your pocket, just install Slide to Unlock (S2U2) and don't lock any buttons. That way, you can wake the phone up by any button and slide your finger on the screen to wake the device up.

Yea, I knew this would pop up.
S2U2 gives an extra step, which I don't want.
Just want to use the action button to wake the device. Thats all.
i'm not sure if this answers you question, but usually i push my home button to wake up my phone then slide the screen to unlock it, just like how i do with my iphone previously, no settings is done with my phone
Yeah, same, I always unlock my SGS with the Home-button..
Oh. Did not know that. I don't have the phone yet. Was just reading some people's thoughts about the phone and they were annoyed about the Power button being used to wake the phone. Guess, I should've researched it some more. lol. Thanks for the info.
Either way, I think I figured it out on how to enable/disable the other buttons waking up the phone if I wanted to in that thread I posted. Should be able to wake it up using the other buttons as well instead of being limited to the power button and the home button. Just gotta have root and edit the keyboard layout then push back.
the menu and back keys are capacitative keys, not really ideal for waking with if the phone is carried in your pocket or something
My phone keeps turning on from sleep in my pocket because of the home button and clicking stuff. Is there anyway to disable the Home button wake feature? I tried to turn it off using Wanam but it doesn't work.

There is a db file in settings for "home button wake 0" change that to a 1 with any sqlight app.

That's strange - I had no trouble doing it with Wanam. Check that wanam is working in general, and that you've rebooted appropriately. Sometimes I've found I need to reboot twice to make Wanam settings take effect.
im using Ultimate Dynamic Navbar because when i replaced the screen on my note 4 i accidentally got too close to the buttons and cut the recent and back buttons. so they no longer work. i completely removed the buttons since i cut them. everything else works fine but for some reason when im charging the phone something is causing the back or recents button to be pressed. this only happens when im charging the phone and have the screen on. how can i disable the buttons? i already tried to do the Generic.kl commenting out (putting a # infront of each line) but that did not help (unless im not entering the the # on the correct line) and it didnt help. i still get the recent apps while charging the phone and the screen is on. anyone know of a way to disable it with another method?

Well I know that an xposed module called Xposed Additions can do it. Hopefully that will work in your case.

i tried gravity box for Lollipop on the PACMAN rom which kinda helps. the thing is that the buttons seem to have swapped so im guessing its because of the rom. before it kept pressing the recents button now its pressing the back button. i also was able to see what was going on action wise as in long presses or double taps with gravity box. it seems that long presses is the most frequent cause of this issue but i also get a few double taps and single taps randomly. i tried to select no action for these events on the back button with half luck. gravity box does not have a do nothing action so the only thing i could do was do a custom action without selecting an app. but when it gets triggered i get a toast saying no such app, due to no app selected in gravity box. this is something ill bring up to the devs of gravity box. ill check out your suggestions and will reply back with the results, THANKS FOR THE REPLY!

Yeah. Seems Xposed Additions will work then. It has actions for both Click and Long Press for all the hardware buttons with the Screen On/Off. It's basically a mod to do just that...remap the buttons or disable.
I use it to disable the Home button while the screen is off. Also to use the volume buttons for skipping songs while screen is off.

the only issue with it was that it would not save the settings when i restarted. but i did use it to see what key value back was and put a # in it and restarted. seems to have worked so far. i wonder why the additions wont stick after a reboot. hopefully if this works ill be able to choose which on screen buttons to select from the pacmans/gravity box or ultimate dynamics. each has its pros and cons.
9 out of 10 screenshots I take are by accident when I'm trying to press the power button to turn the screen off. With the volume buttons opposite the power button, it's too easy to press them. Is there a way to change how a screenshot is taken?

That's already on, but the other way I'm talking about is still active.
Hold you phone differently, unless your hands are so monstrous that preventing your fingers from pressing the volume button is impossible.
Thanks for the Apple-grade suggestion like I've got bad reception on my iPhone. lol
Holding the phone as usual in my right hand, it's not typically a problem. But frequently if it's in my left or I do a quick reach with either to turn the screen on and view notifications and turn it back off, I end up with an accidental screenshot. If I could make it require a momentary hold of the buttons before it takes a screenshot, it would do the trick.

You could try installing a Bixby button remapper. Many of them allow you to set different functions to your hardware/mechanical buttons & or set delays of different intervals while keeping the current buttons doing the usual stock actions. If you are rooted you only need to install once. If you are stock UnRooted you need to run adb commands every time you turn off or reboot but this is the only option I can think of that will do what you need done. Bxactions is one app and another is button Mapper. Cheers & hope this helps you out.
