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!

Hello
yesterday I rooted my A70 250 GB to move soft buttons on bar.
I installed arctools 0.50 and I wrote "no"
in "ro.board.has_buttonbar" option.
fine ... after reboot the hated soft buttons are in notification bar.
Today I open again arctools to see inside it.
I noticed that options folder do not show anymore the option "ro.board.has_buttonbar=no"
?!?!?!?
I see only
FILE option ( and you can select only file)
KEY option ( and you can select only key)
where is the possibility to move back soft buttons ?
what is happened ?
I tryed to uninstall and reinstall again , but it is the same !!!!
please help me !
thanks

Hm... strange
You could send an e-mail to arctablet, the developer of arctools
Or you could install urukdroid, you have the option to move the buttons in the "control" app of UD
I posted the question on arctablet forum in the page of arctools.
I noticed if I uninstall and download it again from applib it works only 1 time.
I have to uninstall and download again to have it working another time.
If I copy the .apk on Archos and install it from the archos rather than downloading from the applib , it do not work also first time....!
very very strange

I have this problem too, but never mind it.
Once it created the file, the file will be effect until you delete it by yourself.
Hello
Got my Viewpad 7 for almost a week now.
At the beginning only the G-Sensor/Compass was making troubles - daily calibration because when using it portrait mode the display was headlong (with top side at the bottom). This is very annoying when playing games... steering left moves the car right and so (see video).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jjoDYj-Dk4
Now the last days the other more annoying problem drives me crazy:
It seems the bottom right softkey (menu key) does his own business. Just when taking the Viewpad it vibrates and shows up the menu bar or the keyboard (see video).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrfdtMYcua8
Most of the time a reboot solves the problem, but only for a few hours or "switch-ons". It happened one-time a day at the beginning, now it's nearly every 2nd time I bring it back from stand-by!
I bought the Viewpad 7 new at ComTech.de online shop.
Does anyone know that problem? Or have an idea how it can be solved?
Regards
I had the same problem with my menu soft key. I took it to the dealer and got screen+soft keys replaced through the warranty.

hardware fault i think....
I got the same problem with my settings button...
Any suggestions?
Settings button = Menu Softkey?
(the leftmost softkey when in portrait mode with softkeys at the bottom)
If yes, touchscreen/Softkeys has to be changed.
i had this problem, i found that after rooting my screen was the wrong orintation, but having cleared the devlic cache via CM twice, i now havnot got this issue for at least 4 days, so i guess its cured.... will report when i know more
Software solution
This is a solution from a user 'retrochip' from 4pda.ru forum
(Link to original post in Russian and i'm not able to post is here)
1. Root your device (can be done with Gingerbreak)
2. Find out codes for Menu button and Search button (229 and 217)
3. Edit configuration file /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl (you can use RootExplorer)
In qwerty.kl:
Find text:
key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED
and change to:
key 217 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
Find text:
key 229 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
and change to (just comment it with #):
#key 229 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
Save and reboot.
Now Menu button isn't active and Search button works as a Menu button.
No annoying random popping keyboard anymore.

Nice solution. When in warranty i'll choose to fix it by replacing those parts. But when out of warranty this is one to remember!
So far I can't post PM or message to developement board as new registered user, lets try to get answer to my problem this way
Problem and following ROM is related to Xperia GO
I downloaded, installed and started use ExtremeSecurity Stock Jelly Bean 6.2.A.1.100 European ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2328171. I did it as I need something to replace stock one with delays it have. I found one problem, I am unable to solve. After install and rooting I found I can't use the home key (the touch sense key under display - the one with "house"). I was trying to google and change mapping of this key and did not succeed. So I made some tests and did not move anywhere forward...
1) If I go to recovery, cwm allow me to display key numbers in some menu. Here key respond well it code as 102 (as it should)
2) If I add line like key 102 HOME WAKE to any file in /system/usr/keylayout nothing change (after editing I reboot, then put it back, so far I was not succesfull)
3) If I use any of "keypress test application" (try 3 of them) they report all keys well (back, settings, vol up/dwn power) but no report and no action for home.
There is no difference in press or long press of key. Simply no action follows.
Do you have any Idea what can be wrong?
Thanks a lot
Karel
P.S. If admins will forward it as message to munjeni or move to Developement part of forum for this ROM, please delete it here...
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!
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
