when i use any phone or tablet, i think some day the home button (or the N button in nook tablet) will not be working, so i try to not press it many times,
i found an app "button savior" , it let me go to the home screen easily without pressing the N button,
but every time i want to unlock the screen (slide to unlock) i have to press N button, is there any way to do this without pressing the N button?
for the ipad, smart cover will help unlock, multitasking gestures will help exit apps,... easily. but i'm not using the ipad.
You can unlock with the power button or if you have CM7 installed I believe you can set to unlock with volume keys
Lock Screen app
Before switching to CM7, I use to use a free app called Lock Screen. You may want to try it.

Hello together
I have a little problem with my HD2. I have the Goatrip 6 ROM installed with Cookie´s Home Tab 2.0 and S2U2 2.43. The problem is that S2U2 don´t lock the long press end key.
There is a not choosable option in S2U2 2.43. "Don´t lock long press end key"
I need a program who locks the long press end key similar with the lockscreen. Do anybody know a program? Thanks for your help.
I don't think it is possible.
The normal/official rom lock (with the slider or hd mini version) doesn't lock it either.
It's probably something to do with that key being the power key, that it will have priority over everything else to allow you to power off. All keys are able turn the screen on, but long press send key doesn't work while locked, maybe because it's a hack and not standard.

I think u could remove it by closing Endkey.exe.... But u cannot block it just for S2U2...
Hello! Do you have any idea to fulfill this option on galaxy s2? This would be easier to turn off the screen without pressing the side button. For instance, if I press and hold the left touchable button I want to switch my screen off, not open the google searcher. Can it be accomplishable?
down load invisible lock widget free from play store and put it any where on the screen u like

Yea, this app is gr8 , but still sth missing. How can i change the searcher button with this app. There were written that" long press button switch the screen off"
Hi everyone. I need to be able to skip the swipe screen and unlock the phone by long pressing the power button. On short press, it should act regularly (waking up and showing the swipe screen). I've tried "No Lock", "Autolock" and "My Lock Utility" but these unlock the phone immediately after pressing the power button
I think this would be the ideal combination of functionality.
My phone is Motorola Atrix.
Thanks in advance
I dont think this will work
You must make a kind of custom rom including this function and u have to implement this function on ur own :/
Hi folks, not sure if this is the right place for this, but hopefully it will get moved if needed.
So, how many times have you used the menu button on your phone to check the time? And then you have to press the power button on the side to turn the screen off - right?
What if the menu/home button was able to turn of the screen when on the lockscreen? So you only need that one button to turn the screen on and off?
I know, I know, there's a power button like RIGHT THERE...but you have to change your hand position/shape to use it, when the home button is sat there doing nothing.
Is it possible? Does anybody want to have a go at it?
Or am I just a lazy so-and-so?
I have one..but I dont know can it working with your ROM... Im using CrDroid LLA + JKay,, backup your rom before flash it..

I haven't been able to figure out a way to remap the physical power button. There was an xposed module that worked great long ago, but hasn't been updated to work with oreo. I want to be able to press/long press/double tap/whatever the power key to take me to the home screen. I've used the fingerprint sensor apps, but they're hit or miss at different times, which is more frustrating than not having it. The other button mapper programs seem to work for volume keys only. Rooted/Running LOS ROM
Remapping the power button seems like such a bad idea to me. What happens if you need to reboot?

Why? What does your "home" button do? On my Nova launcher, home button takes me immediately to home screen and much easier/faster than trying to double tap fingerprint sensor, which currently turns off/on display.
Or long tapping, which currently gives you reboot options.
Remapping power button seems like an answer in search of a problem, which would cause more problems?

Home button takes me to home screen as well, which is usually where I want to go. If I'm holding the phone it's much easier to press a physical button to get back. I rarely reboot, so could do away with that. On my G3, I had all the buttons on the back mapped to pull up assistant, go back, go to home screen using single/double/short/long taps. It was MUCH faster to do that. Anyway, I like it, it existed before, I want to know if I can get it back.

So found a program called "powy". It can intercept the power button keypress and then trigger tasker. It can't distinguish long v. short press, but you can program power button to trigger by pressing 1x/2x/3x/etc. Not as good as xposed additions (which hasn't been updated since MM), but functional and better than nothing.
