Home button (trackpad) not working

Hmm, it seems like the trackpad (home button) doesn't work.
Well it works as a trackpad and can select items and open them and all that, but when I want to try and start the phone, it doesn't work. I have to use the power button for that.
It started when I upgraded from Froyo HTC Sense to CM7 Gingerbread.
Is there an app out there that enables it again?

you should go through and learn the CM settings, there are a few different settings that allow you to wake the phone and unlock it with the trackpad
menu>settings>cyanogenmod settings>input>then check trackball wake
and if you want it for unlock also then
menu>settings>cyanogenmod settings>lockscreen settings>unlock options and check the trackball unlock

Oh okay. I see it. One more thing, is there a way where I can make the phone vibrate when I get a text message? The phone doesn't vibrate when I put the phone on vibrate

np bro, feel free to pm me any questions you have about CM roms, as they seem to be what i am on the most, that or the liquid metal ports, but i am still learning them, so it is a little rough for me at times, but i am always happy to help when i can!!
Happy modding bro!

[Q] Is there any way to accept incoming call with the "Home" button?

Galaxy S, S2, S3... and others have the opportunity to answer to the incoming call with hardware "Home" button?
Is there ANY way for rooted GT-S5360 to do the same? I am ready to buy any app or to flash any firmware.
Help me, please.

i dont think there is any app like that...i googled but nothing like that was mentioned....lolz

there is a ****.kl somewhere in you can remap the hardware keys,
but you will lose the home button in favor of answer call button

There is an app named button remapper. You can change by it but as deathnotice said, you will loose the option of home key.

remapper doesn't allow to change Home button to this function. I tried.

There are even cooler options like shake to pick up etc...
Using a remmaper is not a good idea...
My friend tried it...

You mean all the time or only in lock screen?
I do not know of any way to completely disable them.
Some apps, like Full Screen Caller Id, let you disable them while the device is locked.

I think I found solution.Using root explorer,I go to system/usr/keylayout/htcleo-keypad.kl and delete key 102 HOME.After rebooting my phone,everything looks ok now.

You have been a member of XDA for quite sometime surely you are capable of using the search button rather than create a brand new thread?

lol thxxxx for the tip, wasn t searchnig the right words (hard to be french)

after reading the topic, don t see anybody talking about long press on back button = kill current app, #confused

Another mod which works but your phone needs to be rooted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200369

i ve seen this one already but same it seems that long press = menu action not killapp

Surely double tapping on the home button is quite intuitive though? I think the mod you are after would mess up the long press back for menu (sorry I misread your first post).

dbl tap on hop open recents app (so far on mine) and longpress does nothing, here the trick is to create the menu app that is gone, not the killer task button. no rpob, we read all too many lines per day

This mod is very useful and I use it very much on my current One X. It is from one xda ROM for one X. I hope someone can make a MOD for ONE.

Enabling On-Screen Buttons

Is there any way I can enable the on-screen buttons on the stock GS4 ROM. I'm trying to reduce the usage of the home button because I'm scared it might break/stop working anytime :/ The tutorial in the dev section doesnt seem to apply for me.

I think this is non sense. You will loose a part of screen for the on screen buttons. The home button will not break/stop working. You don't need to worry about this. And in the worst case if this will ever happen you can bring it back for free repair or replace it yourself (very cheap).
Personally i highly doubt that something like this will happen.

You can try downloading an app called EasyTouch, that wont take screen space. Its similar to the accesibility mode on the iphone.

You don't even need that, as this is built in, just look in the accessibility settings.
But... You can always do that IF the button fails. For now, don't worry about the hypothetical failure you may experience one day, just use the hard button
