Is there a way to hide the button savior trigger in a lock screen such as golocker (included in the rebloat rom in the dev section) or widgetlocker (my preferred lockscreen of choice if I could get the dang widgets working)?
I like my lockscreen to function as just that, without the bypass option of buttonsavior.
Thanks,
Dan

Saw your post during a search for the same problem.
In short, not yet. Widgetlocker doesn't hide/disable Button Saviour either when active, even though there is a setting to supposedly hide additional apps.

Has anyone customized the Nook Color lock screen yet? I was thinking of using WidgetLocker, but since it links itself to the home button, and we already have Softkeys + ADW/other home linked, I'm afraid of giving the home button too much to do.
So, any advice? Has anyone customized/put widgets on their home screen?
I use widgetlocker with softkeys still set as default launcher (with ADW), and they all seem to get along fine...
I've tried many lockscreens, I found out that the best option for me is disabling the lockscreen (CyanogenMod settings > Tablet tweaks). Unfortunately, I need a keyguard (For example - wake only if power key is pressed) because without the lockscreen wake=unlock. Any idea how to make such a keyguard? I know it is possible to bind a specific key to unlock the phone, but I want to get rid of the lockscreen. Thanks in advance.
Firstly, fix your title!
And secondly.. as far as I know, then there is no way of disabling the keys for waking up the screen.. Just update to CM7.1.0. It has a cool new lockscreen
I liked all of the lockscreens I tried. My goal is to disable it, not to make it beautiful.
Actually I did it - I simply removed all WAKE and WAKE_DROPPED entries
except those for POWER BUTTON from /system/usr/keylayout/thunder_keypad.kl and qwerty.kl.
It was simpler than I thought...
Hello All,
First let me start by staying thanks to the individuals responsible for rooting this device. I'm really enjoying this tablet.
Now on to the topic:
The n button originally pulls up the Barnes & Noble bar when clicked. Now what I found out is that when installing a launcher like Go Ex and hiding the status bar in the settings of Go Ex, the n button now disables the B&N bar on single click and pulls up your default HOME on double click.
Please check and post what you concluded.
I dont see that option in the settings. Which section is it under?

Didnt work for me...i have home switcher thought
Rooted, with Zeam launcher and Button Savior installed.
The "n" button brings up the B&N bar, and the Button Savior home soft button brings up Zeam. Loving it!

It's under preferences in go launcher, not the actual settings.
Its under the Go launcher Prefrences, then Screen settings. I noticed it only works lets say when you open the app drawer, then by hitting the n key twice it takes you to your default home. But when you are using an app the n key seems to open up B&N bar still.
Now what I think is by disabling or hiding the status bar completely it will reconfigure then n key to use for home. If someone can write a simple app or hack that hides the status bar completely then it would always work I think.
Anyone?
I also use button savior with other launchers.
I am using a Galaxy Nexus. Most of the time, keys on the navigation bar are not touched by accident. But when playing a game I often touch the soft key accidentally. Because many games require to touch controls on the edge of the screen, which is very close to the navigation bar. iOS, on the other hand, does not have this problem, because apps use the full screen, and there is one hardware button. Also, I often accidentally swipe up from the bottom to launch Google Now, when actually I wanted to scroll up. There is no menu to disable that swipe up action, except disabling the Google Now. I want to use Google Now but not by swiping up. I would prefer just a icon on my home screen to launch Now.
I already saw some custom ROMs have a feature to toggle the navigation bar, but I think there must be some official solution to this. The solutions I can think of;
1. The custom ROM way. Add toggle menu to the power menu.
2. Make the buttons as physical buttons not capacitive buttons.
3. Add another physical key on the side to enable/disable navigation bar.
4. Swipe from left to right on the navigation bar to lock it. Swipe again to unlock it.
5. Long pressing Home toggles the navigation bar. On first long press, the home button is changed to a lock icon. To unlock the bar, long press the lock icon.
6. Or Google Now is launched by long pressing of the multitasking button.
What do you think? Do you have the same troubles?

You can kinds of disable it using SwipeLaunch Disabler.

Honestly probably all nexus owners experience this problem although I personally give it up for awesome stock launcher and features and being able to easily hack it.

Hi I love theme and so far it has been working very well for me with limited bugs. However I have one big issue with the design. I frequently accidentally open the themer menu by long pressing the screen when I'm trying to interact with widgets or other on screen elements. It is especially cumbersome when dealing with apps that create on screen overlays . I really like how Nova allows you to choose how to open their menu. Even if you don't change how the menu is opened can you change the long press delay. I feel if it was a little longer, like the stock Google launcher it would be perfect.
Themer with Nova Launcher? Dont know what you mean.

Hi,
Are you sure you are long pressing on the homescreen and not double tapping? You are able to disable the double-tap gesture in the Gesture settings (via the Themer Settings) however the long press gesture is built into the app. In the future this gesture might be added to the gesture list. Sorry for the inconvenience.

No I have disabled the double tap gesture. I just wish I could also disable the long press gesture or even increase the long press delay just slightly. Thanks for the information though.
