Hello together,
found an app for our device, called easyHome for Samsung. It let control your home button much more then even before (Without root).
You can just touch the home button to go home, or if you buy paid version, then you can unlock device without pressing. Or you can lock the device with holding the finger on home button without pressing. Cost not much 1.77€.

Paid version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.easyhome.pro

Just installed it. Working great so far. If it doesn't go screwy, I'll buy the paid version. Thanks!
Why does it require permission to access my Contacts/Calls?!

I am sorry, i can't tell you. I am not the dev. I just found it. But here is G+ community where you can ask about it, and opt in beta.
It is not like i thought in pro version. It doesn't unlock phone if you use fingerprint, but dev is working hard, maybe he will get it fixed.

Hey. This app makes your home button as capacitive as back and recents button. You dont need to press it to go home. The paid version also has unlock and wake up feature with touching home button but u will be able to use fingerprint unlock if you wanna use the 'unlock feature'. Battery draining is nothing in this case i think. :good:
I understand the software is trying to make home button capacitive but this is not how it works right? I doesn't work if ur phone doesn't have finger print function. Eg note3. So imo how it works is the fingerprint sensor on all the time. Which might cause battery drain issue. My 2 cent

Dunno anything about the note 3 or others. I have edge plus and it works normal. Fingerprint sensor always works or not just never mind. Im getting almost 7h sot. I need capacitive home button on my device and I have then. Worth it eventhough causes draining.
i tried it then got the paid version then found out it drains your battery bad so i uninstalled it o well
Mine gets killed after a while by Samsung's agresive ram management and I have to restart the app manually in order for it to work. Any idea how I stop it from getting killed?

I don't have app optimization. The problem is that in the last 3 weeks I did not received any software update and I think that option comes with newer software versions.

I have make small app, which switching off screen.
Instant, without any waits or faking switching off by set brightness to zero.
It's simulate pressing of power button.
Maybe this one will be interest for somebody
root needed
Nice! I'd be more interested if you could do unlock via soft keys as we had in Hero , i.e. home and menu, as I find the power button is too recessed for easy access.
Not sure if softkeys would be too easy to trigger by mistake tho ??

There is a hack for this but the menu key etc on the hd are not active when the screen is locked so it doesn't work. I did it today but you have to press power then the keys become active and you can use menu etc to unlock. Pointless as you still need to use power button first. The hero's keys were hard buttons as is the desire. It worked great on the desire. Unless anyone knows a way to have them active while locked? My power buttons a nightmare as it's not very clicky and really recessed. My wife's hd power button is much easier to use. Anyone know a way to have the soft keys active all the time?

Thanks for this app, i was waiting for.
Power button isn't as practical as your app to power down the phone.
Thank you mate.
Very Nice.... I like it.
But can you please Chance the Icon for me?
Im not able to do this myself.
I would like something like that.
Back and white with a bit gray or shaded would be very nice

In technical terms,yes- it would circumvent the process of having to use one's digit to find aforementioned hard power button and then depress said button.

Lol, maybe I didn't want the technical version after all. Dumb it down so I can understand. I'm have it installed but I don't see it doing anything. I have an Evo. How does this work (explain normal).

Its just a app to lock the phone and turn the screen off. Not sure if it works on evo
Ok thanks buddy, Uninstalling.

Dunno if this is doable but have you seen the screen lock on the new nexus that was seen at recent web 2.0 summit. Its kinda like the effect you get when u turn off an old crt TV. Could you implement that instead of the current fade effect? Ta

I hope you can do this. This would be very great.

Thank you exidler for this useful app. I am just wondering if you can make use of the accelerometer sensor to turn off the screen ( for example by putting the phone upside down) . Thanks again.

i also agree ! that would be a perfect app and since most people do not check their sms upside down it would also be extremely practical

Hi! I Have an Optimus Black P970.
But I found that the G button on the Internet can be change to Power Key, Lock Key or even Camera Slot key. However, it always said need rooting.
However, I found that the procedure quite hard for me as i am new to android.
So, is there any means with NOT rooting? any widgets? any apps to do so?
Sorry for my poor English...
Thanks a lot.

No way without root. You may want to explore your abilities to root the phone, since CM and then MIUI are coming to our LG. These are far superior goods than GingerBread from LG.
Sent from my LG-P970 using Tapatalk
You need root to do that, because it's change the configuration at read-only system partition /system/usr/keylayout, which mean that you must mount R/W to change that.
and AFAIK that G for power button is just for standby/wake, it can't press to power up from off position.

Perhaps it can power off, but not power on. Because the real button is wired hardware to switch on, and the G button accessible via software.

Wake up from what? G button can set to standby/sleep and wake up. But it CAN'T "wake up" from off/dead position, because the main power button is hardwired to the hardware, and G button only accessed with Android system.

To unlock the phone. Suddenly it works perfectly. Thx!

This mod enables onscreen soft keys (THANKS TO LEONARDOARAUJO for the modded framework-res) and disables all cap keys except for menu. cap keys still are illuminated, but home, back, and search are disabled as well as haptic feedback for the 3. as i cannot as of yet get a search key remap working i decided to try n make this.I kinda like it btr even tho i lose a lil real estate cuz soft keys are cool..tested and working fine.

Until the backlight params editing is backported to CM10, you might want to try Screen Filter. I used that app since CM9 to disable the backlights on the capacitive buttons. Cheers!
Edit: Scrap that. It seems that it doesn't work (yet) on CM10. I'll try searching for something else.
Edit 2: Success! Adjbrightness works flawlessly!

i left mine on cuz there are times and places i need to enter menu but the 3 dots aren't there. maybe leo can add menu to the soft keys, ill ask.
In what app(s) does that occur? I haven't checked every app on my phone, but it's all good so far. The 3 dots show up either next to the soft buttons or on the actionbar.

actually now tht im paying attn, i think its mainly from home screen using apex. i can set a shortcut but i jus kinda like having menu access rt there. works for me
edit: ur right..menu 3 dots thing is there anytime there is a menu to access, EXCEPT apex home screen. but sometimes its up on top. i thought about disabling menu but decided to keep it as its nice to have rt there, i guess for the same reason i like the search key to recents remap..more easily accessible.

Wanam xposed. Tweak is available to turn flashlight on by holding volume up when screen is off. Works well

Wanam works as mentioned, but personally I had better experience with XuiMod. The lock screen torch in XuiMod works during the lock screen and let's you choose which button you would like, I have mine set to the Home button. Lot easier and more responsive than Wanam from my experience.

I've got my set up on the Volume button with Wanam as well. Great experience on my end, fast, responsive - allows a timeout to auto turn off if you'd like.

How do i find this?
Welcome. I'd like to know if there's possibility to disable turning on camera in sleep mode by holding any volume key. It's almost the same option like in G2 (expect that vol+ activates Quick Memo). I found an information that G2 TweaksBox lets user to disable that shortcut. It appeared that this function needs to be paid. I don't want to pay for something that I'm not sure is going to work. Anybody knows working (the best would be free) method to disable this thing? It's annoying that I take phone out of my pocket or put it back and accidentally camera turns on. Please help.
Try this:

Sorry the app I posted was for the lockscreen, doesn't seem to work with the hardware button shortcut.
The only way I've found to do it is through Xposed..
So the only option is to pay?
