Same issue here. Friend with same situation also did a factory reset, which didn't help.

other than using the power button to turn it on, and crossing my fingers that this will get re-enabled in Android 4.5/5 around July/August, no :/
Also annoyed that the auto-brightness+ setting is now gone, but that at least was fixable through the Lux app.

Brightness button did not disappear on mine. Sprint S4

Any solution for the home button?

It's a world wide issue with all tw KitKat updates.

Couple alternatives. Wanam with Xposed could fix it. Also, a different launcher would let you set it too.

Thx bud,
I don't think that the prob is from the launcher, as it doesn't work with other launchers neither (I don't use TW, also it is working normally with s-view cover opened).
I have Wanam with xposed, but don't find any option like that... could you help me out? Thx a lot!
I found another strange issue, don't know if you have it , too. If I deactivate auto-unlock when I open s-view cover, it still unlocks when I open it... even after restart.
Edit: Found the solution for other issue: Nils Notification was set to always unlock when cover opened, nothing to do with rom... My fault

In Wanam, under System, there is a section for Long Home key behavior, can you not, Launch S Voice from there?
I use Google Now, and this is how I launch that.
As for S-view, I can't help with that, I dont have that.

[Q] Overriding Buttons without 3Minit

3Minit was pretty great. But development stopped and it was pulled from the app store. And I have neither the framework nor the corresponding settings app backed up anywhere to re-install. Honestly, cosmetics aren't a big deal to me, so I can perfectly well get by without most of those functions. But the one thing I care about is also the one thing I haven't found a fitting alternative for: changing button behavior.
To be clear, here is what I used to have my device doing:
Menu Long Press - Launch Colornote
Home Long Press - Screenshot
Home Double Tap - Recent Apps
Back Long Press - Kill app
Now, I know that there are xposed modules like wanamp that will let me restore my old settings to the back and home button. But I haven't found a solution that lets me alter what the menu button does too. I want to be able to launch Color Note from anywhere with a long press once again.
Solutions?

I also just formatted my hdd and have no backup of the framework..
I hope gary is coming back soon.
could anyone deliver a downloadlink in the meantime?
I would like to use the goldeneye 4.3 rom wit my I9505

It is only for those with a stock rom, is it not? Because I am using Stock(ish) v06.

Lemme know how it goes. BTW it's an Xposed Module, so you need to have Xposed framework installed first.

True what Joe said. But I have used it on sacs back on 4.3 and blu Kuban ROM.

When u r on home screen and push the power button do u get a touchWiz crashed message b 4 it takes u to the recent app? If u do it's the same issue others had reported b 4. Still not sure if it is the magazine app uninstalled/disabled or something else related to any not installed Samsung app. Most people, me included, fixed it by wiping data. I have no issue anymore after reflashing the rom with Samsung apps checked in boot loader. Since that happened so often I'm kinda curious what exactly causes the problem.

@4aces no and on home screen it doesnt takes me to recent apps it just stays there. Clear data for magazine? I have disabled to open magazine with home tap and now it seems to work better but still sometimes ot takes me to recent apps.. But it was all fine with magazine before qhy it started happening now?

Ok so it's not that problem. Just happened so many times that I thought it's the same. Are u using any mods on home button functionality like xposed editions or home 2 shortcut or anything related?

Maybe u changed the home button delay to short? I don't really know cause I haven't had that issue but I would try to disable the wanam modules and check them one by one.

What do you mean the hardware button will be safer?? With 2gb ram what s the point to check open apps? It should be used the opposite way...long press to get to task manager, normal touch to get to menu...I ll wait for the other member to show up with the solution hopefully

Well, actually there is a solution since you are rooted: install Xposed framework, then install/check Gravity Box module within the framework menu. Go into the Gravity Box and assign the buttons to your liking, restart the device and voila!

You made me smile again...how could I miss normal samsung function...I''m on Galaxy phones since I9000 (s1)...this recent app button made my life harder on the s5...
Thanks again and again!
For the rest here just a hint...it needs a reboot after framework installation and after Gravity box installation...
Thanks again my friend!

You are very welcome, but you could activate the menu function just holding the recent apps button for 0.3 secs without using any additional apps. Anyways, glad i could help

[HOWTO] Disable double tap to wake/unlock LG G3

Hello folks! For those who want to disable the option "double tap to wake/unlock" on LG g3 for any reason, in my situation the phone ever got the screen on when I accidentally tap the screen, that was draining my battery, now I found an app that can disable this option. It's called "Any Cut" you can find it in play store for free, create a shortcut for the "Knock On" apk and there you can disable this option. (But it still working if you use knock code to unlock).

Why not use a knock code. 4 knocks to unlock, my phone never comes on by itself not once.

I love knock code but in my case is kind of annoying. Ever a accidentally touch the screen, it comes on. Also using knock code when I take it out of my pocket it's asking me for recovery password.This is for those who want to disable this. Like me.

for me this works only for double tap to sleep. the double tap to wake still remains on and it doesn't help me to much.
also i use a quick circle case and it constantly wakes in my pocket and i really want to deactivate this and i don't know how

normally i use knock code unlock but i tried also your method. the problem is when i use the quickcircle case. if the case is opened, the double tap feature is disabled for both turning on and turning off the phone. if the flip is closed, i can still turn on the phone with double tap.
i am desperate to solve this. my battery is killing me due to this

Well, I think the problem is with the quick circle case, it works with a magnetic point that auto-activate the double tap to unlock. It's the same case as if you use knock code, double tap activate itself and for now I haven't found a solution if you are using the circle case. But even you don't double tap the circle the screen turns on?

Dang man. Maybe try and find whatever app uses the Reed switch from the magnet on the cover. And disable it. Or cut the magnet outta the case.

It can be turned off in the hidden menu

It depends in which LG g3 variant are you using. For example; I'm using LG g3 from sprint and my hidden menu isn't very helpful at all. Only show few options...
Sent from my LGLS990

Try the app gravity screen. I used it on my s4 when I was having the same issue you are. It helped big-time.

you're an angel!!!
My bf was going nuts over this and I cant seem to find a solution until now. He's so annoyed that he was willing to downgrade to any phone the very next day after getting it. Lol. I've tried the hidden menu but only showed me 3 (Verizon). Thanks!!
I on the other hand will keep the knock on enabled on my M8. ??
