[Q] WidgetLocker Homehelper Screen Flicker - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I have a small issue with WidgetLocket on the latest released stock jellybean ROM. I have to use the homehelper or pressing the home button from sleep causes to bypass widgetlocker, which isn't really usefull. Homehelper, well, helps here but when I press the home button with homehelper enabled, the screen flickers (brief moment black).
Anyone else had/have this problem? Can't find a solution anywhere.
Regards

I've had this exact same problem, can't find a solution either. Hopefully someone can help!

Customizing Lock Screen

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...

[Q] Home button sends to dock

First off I'm new to the Gtab. I'm currently running Vegan 5.1. Everytime I hit my hard home button it takes me to a switchboard with four buttons. In order to get go my actual home screen I have to select the home icon. This is becoming extremely annoying hitting two buttons every time to get home. Is this normal or am I missing a setting?
What launcher are you using? There is usually a tab in the settings menu for what tapping the home key does.
I'm currently using the VLT launcher just released, but it does the same thing for stock launcher and launcher pro. I scoured the settings and can't find the home button setting. Saw it in Launcher pro but it didn't change anything. Not sure what else to try at this point.
The screen it sends me to appears to be the screen you see when you would place your phone on the dock. It has the alarm clock button, music, home, and gallery button on the bottom with only the time showing.
Button savior works correctly. Unfortunately I'm not a button savior fan. This its the only bug on my tab and its driving me nuts.
Just wanted to update. I read a lot of other Vegan users having this same issue. I ended up freezing the Clock app using Titanium and that corrected the issue. Not sure what other adverse effects that will cause but it worked for me.
Anybody have any other ideas how to fix this? I'm using TNT Lite 4.4 with Launcher Pro. I've set the home button to "Do nothing" in Launcher Pro preferences, and also checked the option that says "Home key to default screen" but neither one of those seems to have had an effect. Thanks!

[Q] waking phone from home button shows home screen instead of app i was last on

Hi, i have an international Galaxy S3 (i-9300). I recently updated to Jelly Bean via Samsung Kies (baseband version I9300DXDLI5) and there's a change that has been bugging me. In stock ICS, when the screen turned off due to inactivity, pressing either the power button or the home button would turn on the screen and lets me pick up where i left off. Now in JB, pressing the home button to wake the phone will take me to the home screen. Pressing the power button to wake the phone in both ICS and JB works as normal.
For example, I'm browsing the web on Opera Mobile. The screen times out and turns off. In ICS, when i press the home button, the screen would turn on and i could continue browsing. In JB, when i press the home button, the screen would turn on but take me back to the home screen. Pressing the power button works but the home button is bigger and easier to press.
Anyone knows a fix for this?
I'm running stock JB and not rooted.
Thanks so much
It's a known issue. There's no fix for it on the stock ROM, but there is a workaround - use a different launcher, such as Apex or Nova. The issue only affects the default Touchwiz launcher.

Not true. I use Nova Launcher (the paid version) and I also experience this problem (or is it a feature?).
The workaround I found is to wake the phone using the POWER button instead of the HOME button.
I found a fix\workaround (no root needed) to this please see the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929953
looks like that wasn't a work around.
Any updates on this?
I don`t seem to have that issues.. Goes right back to whichever apps I was using. Tried a bunch of apps too.
The bug happens only if you have disabled S-Voice.
If you have S-Voice enabled (double press home button) then you will not encounter this bug. But the trade off is the Home Button action is delayed.
Yes its either you have to enable s-voice but I don't like this idea so I use jkay framework. In jkay framework the issue is solved along with many other features and mods. Try it out

I went through that thread from start to finish, the only suggestion was actually a workaround.
Basically enable S-Voice, but at the trade of slowing down your home button.
How did you fix the issue uronfire?

[Q] Widgetlocker and longpress home button

Hey folks, I'm currently using a Note II and widgetlocker running on Macksrom. My problem is often when I press the home button to unlock widget locker either it pops up the app select screen or when I unlock it will appear. I have tried disabling home button through the homehelper method but to no avail it still pops up the widget locker screen. I have looked everywhere to find how to disable this but have found no answers. In the 1.2.6 change log of widgetlocker it says disable long-press home. Anyone know the solution?
