Programming the back key? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I tried searching the forums and found nothing, so maybe this question hasn't been asked or is so simple that the answer is eluding me..
So, generally if you have 'Multi Window' enabled when you long press the back key, it will launch the quick launch icons on the left side -- my question is, if you have 'Multi Window' disabled, and can you program what a long press on the back key opens?

[Q] Need to Unlock before Power Menu Appears?

All,
Is there a mod to prevent shut down via power menu unless the phone is unlocked?
Essentially to prevent random people from accessing your power menu and turning off your phone. (Especially in the case of theft and tracking apps)
I've seen VoidLock as an option, but it is a huge battery drainer because it monitors the screen whenever a button is touched.
Thanks in advance.
I have seen several threads on several different forums all asking about this. There was either no response or the OP of the thread was told to edit a few lines in the source and recompile...
Many people asked about having an option added either to ROM control or Settings to disable power menu on lockscreen, but I don't think it has happened yet.
I can't do it on virtuous (forget which one, think it's affinity)

[TIPS] S Pen button functions

I thought creating this thread will help a few people who are new to the note and doesn't know it's S Pen hidden functions. Below is the list of what I know it could do so far. Please let me know if you are aware of any other functions and I will add it to this post. Thanks.
1. Hold down S Pen button and tap on any screen to take a screen shot.
2. While in browser, hold down S Pen button and swipe left to go back to previous page. While in any app, the same action is equivalent to the "back" button.
3. While pressing the S Pen button, drag the S Pen down to open a list of options available on the current screen.
4. Hold down S Pen button and double tap on any screen to pull up S Note mini app.
these tips already mentioned in the user manual. So I copy here:
- Back: While pressing the S Pen button, drag the S Pen to the left to return to the previous screen.
- Menu: While pressing the S Pen button, drag the S Pen down to open a list of options available on the current screen.
- Screen capture: While pressing the S Pen button, tap and hold the screen to capture a screenshot. After capturing a screenshot, you can draw on it, write on it, or crop it. The edited image will be saved in My Files → sdcard → Pictures → Screenshots.
- Quick note: While pressing the S Pen button, double-tap the screen to launch the Quick note function.
I typically don't read user manuals.. I like them all wrapped up in plastic and new and what not.. I hope I'm not the few who are doing this.

OP, you had already created a thread for this!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897318
Why create duplicate threads?

Because that was in a Q&A forum. The general section is where people usually looks for tips not Q&A. Sorry if this have cause you any inconvenience.

Obviously forum moderators to provide guideline on this.
My preference is that, not every question that gets answered in Q&A thread, should be posted again in general forum as duplicate thread only to share the answer again. We all should use the search function more, and reduce clutter and keep conversation in a single thread.
Or maybe you can close the orginal thread in Q&A forum, and point to this new thread from there in closing comments?
Just my 2 cents.
obiviously, this thread is relevant and had helped a few people. Like I say, people do not look for tips in Q&A forum. I agree that we all should use the search function, however, a lot of people tends to not use it. I just put this thread in it's relevant section so it would be more widely available for more people who are new and looking for tips for our great device.

Change lockscreen Logo

Does anyone know of which thread would point me in the direction of the lock screen logo? I would like to change it from saying Sprint to something else I've tried to do searches and have looked through the S3 and S4 searches but have not successfully changed the screen response from logo to "something else".
Thanks in advance.

Anyone know where I can go to find the answer for this?
On the lockscreen, just long press it. There is a way to do it from the menus, but I don't remember exactly where (likely Display).
