You can install xposed framework then install wanam , and go system > buttons > Enable wake HOME button .
reboot to take effect.
Enjoy =)

Thank you so much I tried everything Wanam and all that stuff nothing works... I'm rebooting now to see if it works well it did and I'm very very very very very very very happy

Disabling home key/wake activation

I was previously able to disable the Home Key for the Wake Activation by editing gpio-keys.kl
After i have upgraded to Kitkat, i can now see in place of WAKE, there is WAKE_DROPPED already in that file, and even if i remove it , i cannot stop the home button wake activation to stop.
The reason i wanted to do this was i use the jelly home button and it with flip cover or slim Armour view, this will keep my phone screen awake if i do not disable the wake function
any one has any idea how this is done in Kitkat.

what disables home button?

Current problem is my home key button does not work.
It works when the screen is off - to turn turn on, but not once the launcher is running.
It shows up in xposed additions as 'home' - but assigning anything to it does nothing.
All other hardware keys work fine.

Capative buttons

Hi I coming from the nexus 5 and I love the on screen buttons. I love everything about the s5 but I not a fan of the buttons. I wanted to know if can turn them off or remap then so that they do nothing. Also maybe get home button to turn on and off the phone so that I don't have to use the power button on the side. Let me know if you have a way to do it. I prefer not to have to go and edit some XML file. If there is an app or setting I can use to do that for me that would be great.

Turn the backlights off in the display menu, install Gravity Box and set up the NavBar options etc, regarding re-mapping the home button, it's available on Custom ROMS but not sure if an Xposed module can/would work.

Thanks. Now I need to see if I can remap the buttons. I currently have infinity ROM which doesn't give the option for it.
Wanam Xpose should all need that options.

[Q] Disable screen waking up with HOME button

Hi everyone,
I wanted to disable screen waking up by home button - which causes many random wake ups while I keep phone in my pocket.
key bindings are stored in /system/usr/keylayout directory, but I've found HOME button being mapped in multiple different files:
Generic.kl:key 102 MOVE_HOME
Generic.kl:#key 172 HOME WAKE
Generic.kl:key 249 DUMMY_HOME1
Generic.kl:key 250 DUMMY_HOME2
Generic.kl:key 252 DUMMY_HOME
Vendor_045e_Product_028e.kl:key 316 HOME
....
Vendor_2943_Product_0020.kl:key 172 HOME
atmel_mxt_ts.kl:key 102 HOME
gpio-keys.kl:key 172 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
qwerty.kl:key 102 HOME WAKE
synaptics_rmi4_i2c.kl:key 102 HOME
I already have tried removing WAKE mapping for HOME and WAKE_DROPPED from Generic.kl and gpio-keys.kl, but it didnt help.
Does anyone have any idea how to disable HOME wake up for galaxy S5?
If your on alliance ROM I'm pretty sure you can just simply change a setting in alliance settings.

Wanam Xposed has an option to do that but not sure if it works. It's in System, scroll all the way down to Buttons. You'll need root for that.
Wanam Xposed Works

Excellent suggestion. I can confirm that this works on the S5! What a relief!

I use exposed editions, it's brilliant because I can now have my home button to activate power after two quick presses, there are many options for button configuration with it, definitely worth a look
I had this disabled with Wanam, but I'm not up to using xposed under Lollipop now. Anyone found a non-xposed way under Lollipop to disable the home button from unlocking the screen?
proximity sensor hacks like Gravity screen don't *quite* do the trick.
An alternative lock screen might, but I've tried several in the past and not found one I really liked.
