[Q] MIUI and "Homebutton" - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
today I installed the newest version of MIUI on my Samsung Galaxy S3/III. But I got a problem which seems no one can solve, and I hope someone of you got a tip.
My homebutton (the button at the bottom) isnt working with it. I tried different kernels and also costum MIUI ROM's but nothing seems to help.
The button is working on CM or the Stock ROM so the button works.
I already tried to find something on my own but I cant find a solution.
I wanna thank you already for every answer which may helps.

if you have a root explorer then go to system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl you need to open this with a text editor, make sure your menu buttons dont have a # in front of it because having a # at the start disables the button
key 127 and key 139 should not have a # in front if so remove it then save and reboot, good luck mate

im sorry that didnt work for you my friend, i hope someone can suggest something else that can enable it, their could be a application preventing it from working, you could try checking out some of the apps that need root permission

so i tried different kernels now nothing helps.
i also double checked the file you talked about, its alright.
might live without the home button or end up using cm 10

This happened to me. You need to follow the instructions to the letter for installing. On the MIUI Android website they specifically mention this issue and how to remedy.
I wouldn't live without the home button lol.
