Completely Disable the HOMEKEY ??

Hi. Everything I have searched for is about keeping the home button from waking up the phone. I want to totally disable it after it boots as I prefer the navbar.
Any way I can do this?

I want a navbar... I hate the physical home button

I have not tried this and I can not guarantee it will not turn your phone into an ax murderer which will then kill 1000 orphaned nuns. It could also brick your phone, but the poster of this threads said it is verified to work...try it at YOUR OWN RISK! AT YOUR OWN RISK!

This option works great if you're rooted.
I've done it a dozen times dating back to my S3.
But now I just use Xposed mod + Gravity Box.
Or if you have AOSP, then Slim Beam ROM has the option built in.

I'm running the 4.2.2 GPE ROM, and have had some issues with xposed when not running stock. Will this work with GPE, or am I in for headaches?

Thank you; however that hack is only to disable the home key from waking up the phone when the screen is off. I have already done this and it works.
Like I said, looking for a way to just disable the home key in every way. I want it to simply do nothing at all times.

I"m on Google Edition 4.3 Kangabean.
Xposed has been absolutely rock solid for me, as well as this ROM.
Went two weeks without flashing anything else and never had a single crash.
It wasn't till I started messing around with Tasker that I started having other types of issues.
But I run all of the modules you see in the attached pic, without any problems. Actually, there are three additional Xposed modules I'm also running that you don't see, because they're more of system type modules and not actual apps.
Gravity Box is my fave for options and XThemeEngine is my fave to run CyanogenMOD themes.

Installed Gravity Box, enabled the navbar, and it's running great! How do I disable the on screen navbar while the screen is locked, though?

[Q] Settings Rooted Note 3

Hi, I recently rooted my Note 3. I used to have any iPhone 5 that I jailbreak that had a good app that could hide (minimise) certain settings in the settings menu that you don't need. Is there any app out there for this. I have searched google and the app store to no avail.
This would be really helpful if one exists and I would be very grateful if someone could let me know, I really want to hide easy mode etc...
Thanks
Regards
Will

Anyone got anything?
No one has anything?

I mean standard settings. For example hide Wi-Fi and flight mode and data usage etc.. Just to minimize stuff that takes up space.

If you were a developper, maybe (I'm not too sure...) you should do some changes in the "sec.Settings.apk" and associates.
In fact, many custom Rom's have a "developper section ". But this is to ADD features, not to hide it...
AOSP/AOKP Rom's seem to bemore flexible about this. Get a look to that world. But, then, forgot TW world.

Everything seems to work, but I installed the LG stock camera built for AOSP roms on here, and it doesnt open, it starts up, shows the camera shutter icon in the middle of the screen, and then blanks out... no FC... just blanks out, leaving the navigation bar buttons only.. anyone else have this issue?

What's the name of the feature when I slide the notification left it opens up in a window or something? How do I disable it? It always crashed on me when I tried it with hangouts, using the latest build.

Autorotate
Hi!
i really love this ROM, but Auto Rotation doesnt work. I installed the 10/10 with full wipe but no rotation.

Ok thank you. My mistake was, that i flashed a AOSP Baseband Modem and not the KK Modem. After flashing the KK Modem now everything works fine.

I'm noticing that in most applications when I bring up the Google keyboard, it covers up at least half of the typing area and also any send button that maybe in the application but not on the keyboard itself. Does anybody know how I may be able to fix this? I'm finding typing in this ROM very difficult. Mistakes are coming up that I swear have never happened in any other rom work keyboard I've used. Is this possibly a scaling issue? Thanks for any help someone may be able to offer.

I had to double check some stuff and what i found seemed to confirm what I have read around here. I dont have the Sprint variant but there are quite a few people that seem to have your same problem on the ls980 after leaving stock. From what i gather the most used method is to flash all the way back to stock and get a gps lock. copy your gps.conf file to your pc and then copy that over after you flash your custom rom.
It doesnt seem to be a guarantee a fix either but has worked for some people.

Mixed Answer. Most AOSP roms *unless drastically changed* will have terrible scaling on devices with our screen. its because at 480 dpi everything gets stretched out and thats why some menus and items will seem out of place on install. Now some keyboards are better than others. i find the recent google keyboard *not in the playstore* works great but I also scale my device to either 440 dpi or 420 dpi and that seems to be a perfect fit.

this was changed i realized but...On DSB and other newer features coming down to LS Rev3nt3ch doesnt really have much say in if these features get added. He is simply building what the LS devs add and then push those for our device. To put it simply...any new 'features' will have to be added by the LS devs first..

This may not cover all and bacon, which I use, is fairly new. I think bacon is somewhat of a hybrid of ondemand and the intellidemand. It appears to ramp up fairly quickly and back down while not going all the way to max CPU if not needed...this is a plus for battery life

I use lion tamer for wakelocks. Google services have been out of control lately depending on how many location services you use...google now is a big culprit unfortunately

LGStreamingplayer
Coming from Stock-ROM and really like the LGStreamingplayer but can't get it to work. Tried putting into data/app and system/app with permission rw-r-r but doesn't work.
Any idea how to get it to work? or is it simply not compatible with AOSP?

How do I get the "Just Once" and "Default" options to appear when choosing an app?

How do I get the "Just Once" and "Default" options to appear when choosing an app?
I'm a little frustrated withone thing on the S7 Edge: Once you pick an app it sets it to default with no option to use the app "Just Once".
This is what I'm talking about: http://www.howtogeek.com/231392/HOW-TO-EASILY-SELECT-YOUR-DEFAULT-APPS-IN-ANDROID-6.0/
This article specifically discusses 6.0 Marshmallow, so I think this should be there? Perhaps Samsung or T-Mobile has removed this for some head scratching reason.
There are some apps that I so want to have a default for. And some I DEFINITELY want to be able to choose each time. For example, if I want to navigate to an address, I'm picking Waze, but if I ust want other information about the business at an address I'm picking google maps. I shouldn't have to copy and paste or visits the default app settings every time I want to do this. For some people they may ant to make one call with the dialer and another call with skype. They also shouldn't have to jump through hoops to do this.
I've attached a sample screen of this issue.
So the Question for this Q&A thread is is this happening to everyone or just me, and can it be fixed? Is there an option, a hack, or an app that can fix this?

It's touch wiz: never! Seriously, I would like to know as well but I think I've already answered my question.
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

They removed it. Stupid move I think.
In the app store there is 'app picker classic' and 'Better open with' that kind of do what you need..
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

Its happened to me too. I hate it. I shared an address from google apps through whatsapp and now I cant use Messenger to share an address. How do you avoid this?

Did Samsung Remove It Or Google?
I tried better open with yesterday and it seemed to have no effect. I'll try the other one.
I think we need an app that becomes the default for all categories and then let's us pick from there.

Better Open With needs to be choosing as the default upon first run and that app brings up the list every time if you choose to do so.

OK, I'll try it again. It didn't give me that option and it wasn't intuitive. I just figured it wasn't what I needed.

You're right. Thanks for clarifying. That seems to solve the problem!!!
Thanks.

good question
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

The answer below about installing better open with from the play store is the right answer. The other app mentioned probably works as well.

Unfortunately that Better Open With only covers certain categories. But it takes the main nuisance out of it.

Have a look at Better Open With

Any way to disable Sony apps without root?

Seems like at least once or twice a day some Sony app that I never use leaves some notification in my status bar. Is there any way to disable these Sony apps? I think the "What's New" app is one of the worst offenders.

You can always try to completely disable notifications from the app

I think there is a way to disable them through the adb shell. I recall doing something similar on my Z3 that didn't require root. I will look into it further and get back to you. If any other person has this knowledge, post away.
