Recently I am having problems with my phone, and am wondering if it is a software or hardware problem.
I have tried loading the TNT4 rom & WS5SE roms (this is a g4), and there is no change (im on the Tnt4 one now).
The touchscreen works okay, but the soft key buttons do not. The right bottom one is okay, the left one triggers the right one, the send button show the letters "uytga" on the phone screen when i press them, the end button shows "mn" or something, the camera button works perfect, the comm manager button is the same as the voice button (even when i map it with a program it says "button 4").
It even happens on the soft keys on the keyboard when i slide it out.
Also I used Start-sSPL to put the roms on. Is there a way I can get the OEM one back on or fix the button problem?
Any help will be appreciated.
Hi folks, not sure if this is the right place for this, but hopefully it will get moved if needed.
So, how many times have you used the menu button on your phone to check the time? And then you have to press the power button on the side to turn the screen off - right?
What if the menu/home button was able to turn of the screen when on the lockscreen? So you only need that one button to turn the screen on and off?
I know, I know, there's a power button like RIGHT THERE...but you have to change your hand position/shape to use it, when the home button is sat there doing nothing.
Is it possible? Does anybody want to have a go at it?
Or am I just a lazy so-and-so?
I have one..but I dont know can it working with your ROM... Im using CrDroid LLA + JKay,, backup your rom before flash it..

Hi
I have a galaxy s3 with cm11 and boeffla kernel. Today, out of nowhere, my home button and menu button started acting weird. I have the home button setted to sleep my phone on long press and wake it up when the screen is off and do nothing on double press . The menu is set to open the recent apps. It has always worked this way till today.
When I press the home button inside an app it won't return to the home but it still wakes the phone when the screen is off. Also the menu won't open the recent apps and it doesn't vibrate either. The back button still works but does not vibrate. I used gravity box to activate the navigation bar and the home button doesn't work on the navigation bar either.
I tried installing upgrating my firmware to the latest nightly, wipe cache and dalvik but no luck.
You won't repair a modded framework, wipe and start again.
So I need to do a factory reset? Is there a way to know what happened? I didn't touch anything. Is it possible that some xposed module caused this?
I have installed the newest Malaysk ROM on my HU. On the picture attached you can see the Advanced Power Menu like it should be. In my case there is only Reboot after long pressing the button on the top right. Does it belong to the launcher? If I am pressing the button only short my device turns black, but the knobs are still lightning (also you can hear the radio). It seems that the device is hanging up so I had to press the reset button.
Also I want to know If its possible to shutdown the unit completely. Without having connected the ACC wire.
I have the same question about the pwer menu. Like you I only get one option.
I haven't been able to figure out a way to remap the physical power button. There was an xposed module that worked great long ago, but hasn't been updated to work with oreo. I want to be able to press/long press/double tap/whatever the power key to take me to the home screen. I've used the fingerprint sensor apps, but they're hit or miss at different times, which is more frustrating than not having it. The other button mapper programs seem to work for volume keys only. Rooted/Running LOS ROM
Remapping the power button seems like such a bad idea to me. What happens if you need to reboot?

Why? What does your "home" button do? On my Nova launcher, home button takes me immediately to home screen and much easier/faster than trying to double tap fingerprint sensor, which currently turns off/on display.
Or long tapping, which currently gives you reboot options.
Remapping power button seems like an answer in search of a problem, which would cause more problems?

Home button takes me to home screen as well, which is usually where I want to go. If I'm holding the phone it's much easier to press a physical button to get back. I rarely reboot, so could do away with that. On my G3, I had all the buttons on the back mapped to pull up assistant, go back, go to home screen using single/double/short/long taps. It was MUCH faster to do that. Anyway, I like it, it existed before, I want to know if I can get it back.

So found a program called "powy". It can intercept the power button keypress and then trigger tasker. It can't distinguish long v. short press, but you can program power button to trigger by pressing 1x/2x/3x/etc. Not as good as xposed additions (which hasn't been updated since MM), but functional and better than nothing.
