Hi, I'm using sony xperia Z1 C6903, now the home and recent apps button on my phone is not working, I pressed but nothing happen, same with the lockscreen, even I set to PIN lock, after I unlock the screen, there is no PIN lockscreen, so my phone cannot be locked. I clear dalvik cache and wipe cache partition in recovery, but the problem did not disappear. How to fix this? Even in safe mode the button is not working too.
I'm using kitkat 4.4.2 14.3.A.0.757
and I found this on xda too, but my button still not working, the only working is the back button and menu.
for all those like me who have problems with the Home key (disappeared after flashing ROM or kernel), with the lockscreen and the poweroff button, and don't know how to use the ADB shell, here's a simple solution:
1) take the apk SQLite Editor from the Market;
2) using any root manager (I use Root explorer) follow this path: /data/data/com.android.providers/settings/databases/settings.db and open .db file with Sqlite;
3) select ''secure''
4) create a new record;
5) type device_provisioned (on name)
6) type 1 (on value)
7) reboot

[HELP] Home button not working on MIUI life 2.4.20 v4 (ST17i)
Hi!
Today I've flashed MIUI life 2.4.20 v4 on my Xperia Active (ST17i) but home button is not working.
Tried reflashing, clearing cache & data, but there's some problem with the Android Configuration Assistant because it locks home button.
SOLUTION: (almost noob level)

1. Install a Root Explorer/Browser with which you can view and edit system files.
2. Navigate to:
system>usr>keylayout, and look for a file named as " cyttsp_key.kl "
3. Open it with a root text editor
(you need an editor with root permission for editing system files, mostly they come equipped along with the root browser)
4. Here you will find the list Capacitive touch buttons along with their functions listed
eg: for xperia active with 3 Capacitive touch buttons Back, Home, Menu it is something like this:
key 102 HOME VIRTUAL
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
5. So if your Home button is not working, you will notice the first line(key 102 HOME VIRTUAL) in missing. (102 is the button code, HOME is the function, & VIRTUAL I guess represents its a Touch Button)
6. Just add the line save the file & Restart your device, this should probably fix your problem.
Note:
1. The number the in each line after the "key" is a unique code for each button of your device, just google it to find the code & function of a particular button
2. If 1 of your hardware buttons are not working then repeat the same process with the file " pm8058-keypad.kl " in the same directory(system>usr>keylayout)
3. Make a backup of the file before you edit it.
4. You can disable a button by adding a "#" in front of the line that mentions its name/code.
eg: Change "key 139 MENU VIRTUAL" to "#key 139 MENU VIRTUAL"
Hi
The main goal: disabling the home button wake on the lockscreen and every other home fuction remain the same
this solution based on this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224688
you need root acces:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
Download Total Commander from Play (it's better bcose there is automatic moun/remount function )
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander
- allow root acces to TC
- navigate to /system/usr/keylayout
- locate and copy to safe place gpio-keys.kl and sec_keys.kl
- open the original files with TC editor (press once on the filename and choose "Edit")
- Search the following lines in gpio-keys.kl:
Code:
key 102 HOME WAKE
key 172 HOME WAKE
and delete the WAKE world and all spaces after HOME!
it should be looking:
Code:
key 102 HOME
key 172 HOME
- save gpio-keys.kl (TC do all mount-remount thing)
- Search the following line in sec_keys.kl:
Code:
key 172 HOME WAKE
and delete the WAKE world and all spaces after HOME!
it should be looking:
Code:
key 172 HOME
- save sec_keys.kl (TC do all mount-remount thing)
restart the phone and enjoy
If you're using CM, go to Settings - Display and Uncheck the second last option to achieve the same effect in a much simpler way

Very useful tutorial. Thank you a lot. My phone used to unlock itself in my pocket and then make a call or mess up settings... S4 mini reacts to touches trough thin cloth. This wasn't problem on HTC.
Wanam xposed module can do it ss well. Obviously you need to have xposed framework installed.

Not working with my AT&T S3 with stock 4.4.2 android. This is driving my nuts. There has to be a way to disable this. HELP!!!
Hi,
I've rooted my Galaxy S4 mini because the home button is turning on the screen continiously draining my battery. The root was succesfull, but i cant edit the files with Total commander. I get a 're-mount error'. Anyone know how to solve this? I'm running stock android 4.2.2.
I also tried installing Wanam Xposed and found the option, but it didn't work.
Thanks
Removing WAKE didn't help my either. I had to comment out (#) the whole line in gpio-keys.kl.
Now HOME is completely disabled and I installed Auto Hide Soft Keys to create a virtual nav bar.
On the other hand, who needs HOME

Thanks for your reaction! My problem is that i cant change the gpio-keys.kl file. I get a 're-mount error'. But maybe i will need your suggestion further on.
Hmmm, phone is rooted?
I used ES File Explorer in Root Mode, changed gpio-keys.kl file permissions to rx-rx-rx, edited the file and restored permissions to rx-r-r. After a reboot, HOME was disabled.

Yes the phone is rooted. I checked it with root checker. Maybe i need to change the the file permissions. How can i do this? With ES file explorer?
Do you use stock android ?
Yes I'm on stock rom.
Open ES Explorer and go to Tools. Switch on Root Explorer. Mark the file and change the permissions via More > Properties. Just add the middle and lower check on the right side.
Now edit the file and change the permissions back.
I am able to save the file now, but the home button is still functioning. I commented out the lines with HOME in gpio-keys.kl and rebooted. But still the screen keeps turning on because of the home button.:crying:
In reverse?
Anyone know if the opposite variation on this is possible?
I.e., I'd like to be able to use the home button to wake my phone up, but not to take me to the home screen, simply to turn the screen on so I can continue with whatever app I'm currently using, such as gps... (if it can carry on working as home button when the screen is already on, that would be fine).
Using the side power button can sometimes be a hassle and I'd like a way to simply turn the screen on quickly. I'm also on CM not stock though...
Thanks!
GT5830: CM11 GoogleMaps install error 961
Hi,
My Galaxy Ace GT5830 is running CM11
cm-11-20140326-NIGHTLY-cooper++.zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2587481)
It works fine... but I don't succeed in GoogleMaps installation.
Using PlayStore to install GoogleMaps, I get:
Code d'erreur inconnu lors de l'installation de l'application: "961"
Translated in english, it could be:
Unknown error code during application installation: "961"
What could I do?
Regards.

PS: Sorry for the froggy way I write english.
Android Fix: ‘Unknown Install Error 961′
Here's how you fix Install Error 961:
Method 1: Clearing the cache and data normally
1) To do this, go into your phone’s settings, then Applications (or Apps or Application Manager), swipe to the left to ”All” and scroll down until you find Google Play, tap on it.
2) In the app information page, tap on the button to empty the cache.
3) If this doesn’t solve the problem, try to delete the data from the Play Store which is found on the same page (Settings > Manage applications > Google Play > Delete data). This will most probably work, since it had worked in my case when I suffered with the problem in my android.
unknown install error 961
Method 2: Go to recovery mode and try again
If the above simple method doesn’t solve your problem, then a more thorough option is to do a system cache clear on your android device. Follow the following steps:
1) Power off your phone.
2) Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously until you see the Boot Mode Selection Menu
3) Use volume down to navigate to ‘Recovery’, use volume up to select. You should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android.
4) Press volume up/down simultaneously to go into system recovery.
5) Use volume rocker to navigate to ‘wipe cache’ and use power button to select
6) Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to ‘reboot system now’ and use power button to select.

Hey xda-developers,
It's me Gio, and I made a tutorial for you guys on how to get Android 5.0.2 on Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo but then the correct way.
First of all, me or the developers that made this ROM and the developers who made the other stuff are not responsible for any damage, this is completely your choice if something screws up. I don't think that something will happen but you will never know what happens. And second, I would like to thank the developers (flex1911, MatheusAlves and the others who made the project).
Tutorial:
1. Make a backup of all your data that is laying in your device. Think for example about important text messages, contacts, photos, or something else.
2. Make sure that you will be able to restore that backup after. So put it in your microSD card or on the computer.
3. Download the new ROM from the link which you can locate below this tutorial.
4. Place it in your device and boot your device into TWRP or CWM. Personally I find TWRP much more handy but your choice.
5. Wipe data, cache and dalvik.
6. Flash this ROM and if you have any other zip to flash (like a Dolby extension or Google Apps), do it after flashing this ROM.
7. Wipe cache and dalvik one more time to avoid errors.
8. Reboot your device and wait till you see the homescreen.
9. Download Wake Lock and install it on your device. (If you are going to install it from APK4Fun for example, you probably need to accept unknown sources from Security in Settings).
10. Open Wake Lock when it is installed and tick the PARTIAL~WAKE~LOCK. This is important to avoid numerous reboots, don't forget to enable it again after every reboot since it may dropout when your turn off your device.
11. Download keylayout.rar from the link which you can locate below this tutorial.
12. Unrar it, and copy the keylayout folder to your device.
13. On your device, open up the Files app.
14. Go to the hamburger menu left above and then go to the gear icon which is the settings.
15. Go to General and then scroll to advanced, and then tick on the first setting of advanced and change it to root modus.
16. SuperUser is going to ask you for permission, accept it.
17. Locate now your keylayout folder and then copy the whole folder.
18. Go back to the hamburger menu and you will see home with under it this symbol "/", tick it and go then to /system/ and then /usr/.
19. You will probably notice that there is already a folder named keylayout, just do nothing with it, you will now paste the folder you copied earlier just there and if it askes to merge and overwrite, just accept it.
20. When it is done, reboot your device and your home button will work again.

Thanks for reading and I hope that you are helped after reading this. Again, if you want to thank me, only do it for the cleared up tutorial, the people who made the ROM and the fixes are the ones who you should thank actually!
Whuuuuu
Thank you man !!
but this Rom is different from Flex rom !?
waiting for the stable version
we want to fix the sound recorder problem :'(
waiting for more success : الضحك:
Well, something it's something. Do you have can fix any other bug? Like the problem with theming or App2sd, you should also find a solution to those bugs.
in the last month, i have g925f rooted , 5.1.1, sometimes (offten!) ) recent app softkey start random and open double window, recent apps.... i try to hibernate some apk but nothing.... i try also to clear cache...but nothing. In safe mode everithng works fine. i have only the last chance to clean all my data, but i read that this don't fix the problem.
it's very annoyng when you write and random the left soft key start to work itself......
any solution?
thank U!
i made all kind of reset, but nothing change, sometime i have a "crazy" soft button that start to work like a spirit! or stop to work.
i tried also "safe mode" and a little less, but same (random) problem!
The only way, i find, before to go to assistance (or to put in the garbage!!!) is to disable the softkey.
i find this on xda:
Use a root explorer (I used X-plore with root enabled).
Go to
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
Backup file Generic.kl ( copy it as a .bk or something )
Then open the file Generic.kl using the text editor within X-plore.
Then find the word APP_SWITCH linking with the code number (mine is key 254), change APP_SWITCH to MENU. Then reboot and your are done. The Recent Apps button is now back to being a Menu button. Life is great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...t3084638/page4
put"#" before key 254 and the key stop to exist, and stop to crash my balls
if someone has a different way to fix is wellcome for me.
thanks!
