I know this has been mentioned before and there is some kind of Tutorial for it, but I cannot find it.. Can any kind souls tell me how to Disable the Use of Home Button to wake up from Sleep, instead just allow the Power Button. Thanks!

1. Open /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl.
2. Scroll to the line that says:
"key 172 HOME WAKE"
3. Now delete the HOME so it says:
"key 172"
4. Save it and reboot.

Come'on seriously thats kind of a mean answer...
I don't know if that function is available but it would be cool, i would use it.
Homesmack will let you remap the double tap home function. You'll need to find an app that locks the phone, though.

Don't you find it a little uncomfortable to pressing side button all the time?

Is there a way with android that I can switch the behavior of my menu button on my home screen? right now when I short press it the menu will come up, when I long press it will go to search. It'd like it to go to search when I short press, is this possible?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I dont think so.
But its possible the other way around.
But then again, why would you want to replace the menu button function?
Its like the home button on an iOS Device
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
You can Edit system/usr/keylayout/sec_key.kl to change the key behaviour.

Any easy way to change functions of things like home/menu buttons, if for example I want to quickly pull up task manager without having to long press home. I find that to be tedious.

Here is an app that can launch apps by pressing home button twice.

Meh, I'd rather a single press for task manager, or better yet.. menu key and then hold for menu. I don't need hold menu for search.
Nova launcher lets you do what you please with menu and home buttons, for long and short press
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for that recommendation, I'm using that nova as my default launcher. But it still doesn't really do what I'm looking for. It only works while on desktop and doesn't have a tap menu feature. I need something global. Hope I'm not being too picky lol

If you're rooted, you can edit the function of the home button pretty easily.

If you use that tutorial above, you'll see the properties of the keys. I enabled the on screen keys, disabled the capacitive keys, and remapped the home button to launch the camera instead of being a home button.
is anyone know if you can remap the hard buttons on stock rom. I like to be able to press the home button and bring up the Google now menu
You can press and hold and it will bring up 3 options one of them being google.

You can also get "home2 shortcut" which will allow you to use double tap to open any app. I use it to make google now my voice search
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
you can also edit what the buttons do if you are rooted just edit /system/urs/keylayout/generic.kl AND /system/usr/keylayout/gpiokeys.kl to have the buttons be whatever you like the main buttons are 139 menu 158 back and 172 home. Make sure you dont erase the wake or wake_dropped if you want them to work like before. You can erase it if you want the home button to not wake up the phone.
You can also bring up the on screen keys like a tablet with one line to build.prop if you want. Just add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to the end of build.prop and the on screen keys will appear on reboot

did you close the application or just pressing your home button and re-opening the apps ?
in some case, the apps will read your action pressing home button like the exit button, so the apps just killing itself

Did u press the hm button or the back button? If home button, when u switch over to it, it shld resume instead of restarting the app. However if u press back button, when u switch over to the app. It will be new instead of resuming. Rmb if u wan multi task, press hm button. And when u wan to return back to the app. Hold the hm button and find the app and press it. Dun open it thru the apps place.
