PREVENT - ALLOW GALAXY NOTE HOME KEY FROM ACCIDENTALLY WAKE UP DEVICE:
Some people complained about the Home keys of Galaxy Note sometime is touched and turned on accidentally when taking it in-out of the pocket.
After studying some articles on-line for Droid X phone (not same as the Galaxy Note), I digged around in the directory system/usr/ keylayout. Finally, I have found a way to do it. I can disable the HOME key from wake up the phone in off-screen state, but still let it to move from apps drawer to standby screen as usual. And I think it works!!
- Goal: Modify 2 file related to wake up function of the Home key (code 102).
- How to:
+ Using Root Explorer go to the folder: system/usr/keylayout, set permission to Mount R/W;
+ Click to select the 2 files: gpio-key.kl and sec_key.kl to modify them. When the menu appears, select: Text Editor to modify the files.
+ Move to the line: "key 102 HOME WAKE" in the 2 files above and put the cursor on the position of "WAKE" to erase the word "WAKE".
+ Press Menu hard button, select Save Changes, the phone will save the backup file and save the current files.
+ Set permission to Mount R/O for the folder: system/usr/ keylayout.
+ Shut down and then restart, Ahh, it worked!
Note: If you want to use Home key to wake up Galaxy Note again, go to delete two above modified files and rename the two backup files to gpio-key.kl and sec_key.
For people don't want to do it manually, I make the 2 flashable files for Allow and Disallow the Home key for Note and tested for working, at least on my Galaxy Note.
The 2 flashable files to do that is attached below. Copy to SDCard/ExternalCard and flash them in CWM Recovery, then reboot:
works for me. thx.

does somebody know whitch file(s) to edit for this to work in Jelly Bean or Cyanogenmod 10.1.
I'm on asylum 4.2.2.this is a cyanogen 10.1 mod , like slim bean .
It looks like we need to change more/other files for this to work , wile when i canche the here adviced ones , nothing seems to change ,, the volume buttens still behave the same.
/system/usr/keylayout/sec_key.kl is changed to..
key 115 POWER WAKE
key 114 POWER WAKE
key 102 HOME WAKE
key 107 ENDCALL
key 105 DPAD_LEFT
key 106 DPAD_RIGHT
key 103 DPAD_UP
key 108 DPAD_DOWN
key 232 DPAD_CENTER
key 116 POWER WAKE
key 212 CAMERA WAKE
look at line 115 and 114 this would change te volume button function in the power funtion , i suspect , AM I RIGHT ????
in fact this does not change the behavior of the volume buttons at all it still changes te volume , btw i did restart after changing te sec_key.kl file
please advice manny thanks in advance

I found it in a chinese forum (bbs.gfan.com/android-2014369-1-1.html)
I'm sure most people found the G button useless, so it would be nice to change that. The following is my experience with it:
The position of the G button make it perfectly useful as lock/unlock button, you can use it to shutdown as well, but cannot use it to switch on the phone, I guess it is electrically hardwired to the power button at the top.
Not too bad for camera, long press it will launch the camera app, but it don't have 2 levels so press it once and it will start auto-focus and take picture immediately, similar to touch and release shutter button in camera app, which mean you can't "dis-engage" a failed focus attempt.
here is the method:
1. make sure you have root and r/w to system partition
2. the file in question is "TWL4030_Keypad.kl", it's in /system/usr/keylayout/
3. before making any changes, copy the file to SDcard as a backup
4. open the file with any text editor, scroll down to 3rd line from the bottom, it should be "key 95 GESTURE"
5. if you want to use it as camera button, change it to "key 95 CAMERA WAKE_DROPPED"
if you want to use it as power/lock button, change it to "key 95 POWER WAKE_DROPPED"
6. save the changes, reboot to see the changes.
Very good.
In fact, I may even use this on nova.
the method is work.
after edit file it create backup file which is name "TWL4030_Keypad.kl.bak"
It works! Great!
worked perfectly thx!
thank u..

hey, i was followed this method but my Optimus Black can't use it .. when i push my Gesture it can't go to camera .. somebody help me ??

After modify to Power/Lock mode, it's work.

notice you need to long press to start the Camera App. (you should feel the phone vibrate)
or just start the camera app, then press the G button to take a picture to see if it works.
It should be a pretty straight forward modification.
Could it be
"key 95 RECOVERY WAKE_DROPPED" ???
wow, very nice
Very nice. Thanks.
To all who could not manage get it to work: You must take care of file attributes after modyfing the file content ( otherwise it won't work ). It must be CHMOD 644.

Hello,
I am using NOVA V8 and flash the huexxx fix
could I use any script to use the G button or the volume button to wake up my phone?
I tried to read the script and tutorial...but i wonder there is no key 95 which correspond to G button. I tried to make a new script for key 95...but it doesn't work at all.
it doesn;t matter to use G button to wake up, but i really want to use other key besides power key to wake up.
sorry for my poor english

I'm trying to set double press home for home screen, as single press would be allocate to a task switcher.
my problem is that double press does nothing when i deactivate voice speech.
i tryed advanced home button on the market but it doesn't or can't make it work.
can someone help for this stupid thing ?
Homemyhome from the galaxy s2 works when set, but you have to re select the double press app on reboot, I haven't managed to sort out that problem with it yet.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't this what's normal --
short single press HOME ==> home screen
long single press HOME ==> task switcher

Try extracting the app from the zip, copy it to your sd card and then copy it over to the app directory.
This is just to help people like me that use their mobile for internet calls. As you know, it is disabled in GNote ICS and the old method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109962 does not work for ICS ROMs.

MIGHT WORK FOR YOUR ROM IS THE SIZE OF YOUR framework-res.apk IS: Size: 18.7 MB (19,623,222 bytes), Size on disk: 18.7 MB (19,623,936 bytes)---checked under windows.
I will attach a modified framework-res.apk for GNote ICS ROM and the Internet call settings menu file.
Just a little changelog of what the modified framework-res.apk can do
Enables internet call (Wifi & 3G)
Enables all orientations (your phone rotates all round)
Rotating Lockscreen (Landscape + Portrait)
Screen stays off on USB/Charger disconnect
Just download one of the .zip files below extract and copy android.software.sip.voip.xml (its in this folder \system\etc\permissions) file to /etc/permissions using ES file explorer, Root explorer or any root browsing app. You can also push this file via ADB but you must be rooted in order to do any of these. After copy framework-res.apk (its in this folder \system\framework) to /system/framework, you can also push this. Your phone will freeze and quickly reboot, if not reboot manually but give it enough time to copy the files.
You should have internet calling now and all the other extras.
NOTE: Always backup incase something goes wrong, I am not to be held responsible for any bricks.
However, if anything goes wrong, just push back Stock framework-res.apk or if not reflash Non-wipe ICS ROM.
This framework-res.apk is specifically tested on the GNote ICS ROMs listed above, use it in any other ROM at your own risk.
--------------------------EASIER STEP FOR NON-ROOTED ROMS--------------------------
To simplify these steps, I have made a flashable zip. Download one of the .zip files and put it in your sdcard (external)---Do not extract pls.
Boot into recovery (Vol up + Power button + Home button all together)
-------ALREADY HAVE CWM DO THIS-------
Scroll down to 'Install zip from sdcard'
Then 'Select zip from Internal/External sd'
Find the zip where you saved it and select it
Select Yes to install.
NOTE: CWM uses Vol up & down to scroll and Home button to select
----------STOCK RECOVERY DO THIS---------
Download CWM Touch
Copy to External sdcard
Boot into recovery
Scroll down to 'Apply update from external sdcard'
Locate CWM and select it
Select Yes to install
CWM Touch will load automatically
Click 'Install zip from sdcard'
Click 'Select zip from Internal/External sd'
Locate the zip where you saved it scrolling with your finger or with volume button
Click on it and select yes to install.
NOTE: Stock recovery uses volume up & down to scroll and Power button to select while CWM Touch uses hand + Vol up & down for scrolling and Touch and Home button to select.
When all is done, go back and select Reboot system.
If you have any questions post it here.
THERE ARE FOUR DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET THIS DONE
1. Copy using root explorer
2. Push using ADB
3. Install using CWM Touch temporary
4. Install using CWM kernel installed on your phone.
FOR STEP
1. You must have root and root explorer app, just download the file, extract and copy each to their respective directories (refer to the step above).
2. Push the two files using ADB but you need root in order to do this.
3. Install temporary CWM Touch via stock recovery and flash the zip. This does not install CWM in your phone, it disappears as soon as you reboot.
4. Install CWM kernel for your ROM and use it to flash the zip.

Well there are other options I changed from false to true and vise versa and then changed it from Phone device to Tablet device. I noticed most changes in the dialogue boxes and graphical interface.
Well its your call, if you want it then go for it.
So, if I understand, after apply your modifications, my phone will most look like tablet device than phone device?
There is no performance or battery changement (no bad surprise with anormal drain battery ou low performance), but just appearance modification.
I'm right?
And an other question : Is there possibility to just add native SIP in ICS, without apply others modifications?
PS : apologise for my english

Alright guys,
Pretty much what I'm after is a launcher shortcut which locks our gear.. The reason for this when using custom launchers the home/power button by default does not lock the device anymore.
It seems that particular feature was hardcoded into the TW launcher.
There are various applications available on the playstore, although I haven't found any which work on the gear as they require additional settings to be enabled in a traditional settings dialog.. which obviously we dont have.
If anyone has any ideas please post ! Or even better if you know of a app in mind which works !

MUST BE ROOTED
1. Push a Root File Manager or adb to your gear.
2. Navigate to "/system/usr/keylayout", Open/pull the "gpio-keys.kl" file.. Confirm any root permission popup's.
3. Modify "Key 172 HOME" to "Key 172 POWER", Using a text editor.
4. Save/Push changes.
5. Restart gear.
I like to use adb to pull the files I want to modify to my desktop, Modify them, Place them on the SDCARD of the gear and then manually place them using a root file browser to their original locations. Also remember to set permissions, Imitate any other permissions in the same directory.

4. Save/Push changes.
5. Restart gear.
I like to use adb to pull the files I want to modify to my desktop, Modify them, Place them on the SDCARD of the gear and then manually place them using a root file browser to their original locations. Also remember to set permissions, Imitate any other permissions in the same directory.

Do you happen to have the stock file setup? I think I may have accidentally edited the wrong key, so now i have two lines with "Key 172 POWER".

I can't get this to stick...I make the changes, and save, but when I go back in they are different again.
