Hiya guys,
My home and back buttons don't show any form of backlight. Also when I double tap my home button my recent apps don't appear. When I just press the buttons once, they work like normal. Is there any way to bring the buttons back to normal.
I have a rooted phone with the stock rom.
Thanks in advance

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...

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.
so my power button is gone on my htc touch with android. i need to poke the small button inside with a penpoint or small object.
is there a way to re-map the button or another way to turn the phone on from sleep?
My power button is working but I have same concern. Developers, why don't use D-pad key for home/back etc functions? power/camera buttons are very critical because without them you may even have difficulty to enter bootload mode.
Atools will let you remap the keys
Thanks!. I have created an update that set Vogue D-pad as:
Left: Back
Center: Home
Right: Menu
Working perfect on my SuperFroyo.

I've used Atools to remap wake up to other keys but, it only works if i press those keys after receiving a notification.
have you been successful in waking up the phone from sleep without having to press the power button? are there additional settings i need to change?
I also have the same problem - my power button stopped working this afternoon for some reason and I cant wake up my phone except by calling it from another line or restarting it - any idea how i can change the wake up key? from what i gather, the atools fix isn't working?
Exact. Same. Problem. Using Incubus RLS16 (no audio input either... grrr...)
I remapped the power button and it will turn on but only under these conditions:
Phone just went into sleep, after a few minutes no response.
If it's plugged in.
Which makes me wonder... are there two different sleep modes? ie: light sleep which lasts for a few minutes when unplugged, and a deep sleep which kicks in after that, or never, when plugged in.
I only need to wait a few more weeks for my upgrade, but I want to be productive now!
Anyone have a solution to the phone not waking up problem - Ive realized its not my power button..
Hello!
My power button is broken, there is a way to remap other button to work as a power button? I'm using the Nova launcher that have a shortcuts section, so i puted the long press on menu button to run a app, "LockScreen" that locks the screen But it only works on the launcher, if i open another app, it doesn't work. In the System configs i desabilited to open the search engine if i long press the menu button. There is a way to make this works with all the apps? I'm using CM 10.2.
By the way, there is a way to power on the cellphone without pressing power button?
Thanks and sorry for my english!

I think that you can power it on by attaching it to charger and usb connected to pc. I remember that lot of people coplained that their phone can't be charged offline. But I am not sure if it is when you try to turn it off (and instead you will get reboot) or it works when the phone is offline.

I can't remember about CM10.2, I am on Liquid Smooth based on KitKat now, and it has harware buttons remap. And it does not have option for lock screen, but you can install some app for that and map it to use its process. Like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=sr

Thanks for the reply! Well... I'm using CM 10.2 and i can't find any option to remap the buttons, but i found one app on the PlayStore that makes what i need! "Button Savior Non Root" (Can't post links ) It adds virtual keys on the screen, and now i can lock the screen while i run apps!
But there is a way to turn on the phone without pressing the power button? If my battery get out of charge i'll have some problems to turn it on again... :silly:
Thanks again!
My brother has Samsung Galaxy S Advance and some problem too. Power button doesn't work so we couldn't turn on the device. If we did once, we will install an application which change the properties of Volume button and Power button. Is there any way to turn on the device?
Thanks.
SOLVED Press Menu button with Volume Up long time and I saw repair menu, select restart and turn on!

My Galaxy S3 mini keep pressing home button or hold the home button by itself for no reason. The home button is half-broken.
Is there anyway to disable home button and disable recent-apps???
i have disabled home button from wake up. Just need 2 things to be disabled. Recent-apps and home button...
my phone is rooted and i already lost my warranty.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: The solution is disable home button and enable soft keys

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

Had the same problem, but cyanogen mod can disable homebutton.
So a while ago my screens LCD cracked and stopped working so forward a few months and I get a new screen, and everything was fine except for the fact that my menu and back buttons don't work. Because everyone I press the menu button, the little right click like options op open but then a second later the a finder opens. Everytime I trap the back button it does nothing, but if I tap the menu key then the back back button really fast then the menu stays open, I also noticed that if I press the back button with my s pen then it works.
I just really want to have the original features of my phone if anyone is having the same problem as me or just knows how to fix it please respond. Thank you
