Home button to wake phone? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Is there any way to make the home button wake the phone?

It should already... mine does.
Take a look at /system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl and gpio_keys.kl see if 172 still says wake. It shouldn't say wake_dropped like the others if it doesn't add wake if its missing or remove dropped if its there

i agree with hondaboi20002. my home button wakes up my phone, too.

No my home button does not wake up phone

My home button wakes the phone and takes it to my lock screen. If you disable swip to unlock, then pressing the home button would take you to the home screen.

Get https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander and use it to go to /system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl click it and tell it to edit file, use the editor that comes with the app, scroll down to 172 and see if it says "172 HOME WAKE" or "172 HOME WAKE_DROPPED" or simply "172 HOME"
Do the same on /system/usr/keylayout/gpio_keys.kl and report back

what version do you have? I have the sprint 16gb and the screen unlocks every time i press the home button
I have the TMobile one. Mine wakes up but doesn't unlock
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
How about you just turn off the lock screen and whenever your phone is sleeping, once the home button is pressed, it goes directly to your home. The only solution so far for your issue.

thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't seem to have the app switcher that i wanted... i want the same thing as the one that shows up when you long press the home button.. i just want it to show up when you long press the menu... instead of the search function, i want the app switcher...

This is probably what you're looking for. Works a treat and no more long pressing home

Really? Press your gpen against screen while holding the botton in. Another method is to swipe the side of your palm across the screen. Like your brushing something off.

Broken Home Button

Home buttons broken, Is there any way I could make another button go to the home screen? Such as long pressing back button or something
It won't fix your physical broken button but, download Button Savior from the store.

Glad you got it working. I have a question about the buttons though, are they supposed to have an LED backlight behind them?

Yeah. When the screen is awake a white light should come on behind them.

So now the home button is somehow pushing itself, is there a way to completely disable the button?

Have you deleted HOME from the original home key in the file? If not I would try that and see if that works.

It's probably because Svoice is removed.

Use the power button instead of home button.
Your screen thinks that It's still on so, you could just swipe or touch the screen instead of the home key.
It takes 5-10 seconds after screen goes black for the device to go to sleep.

u can use a widget to keep screen on,like "screen ghost widget" to toggle..otherwise wait 10-15 sec after screen turns of,then u will return to the last open page/app.
have a nice day..
