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] Hide Soft Keys and use Pie Control

Hi guys,
I would like to hear any recommendations or experience from you. What is the way you used to hide soft keys and use pie control?
I found many apps in the market or this xposed thread. I have rooted D802 and I would like to follow some well working combination instead of spending time to install & try & uninstall.
Thanks a lot for answers.

Install lmt launcher and set pie up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
Then add this to the bottom of build.prop, it disables the soft keys without an app.
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Do it with an build.prop editor to get the right permissions and so on.
Cheers.

Thanks, works great! :victory:
I got only one issue:
I got FC message when connect USB cable, headphones. I think it's related to "LG animation of plugging cable" on the bottom of screen (attachment). Do you have it same? Did you solve it somehow?

Well, that FC bothered me so much that I made Xposed Mod to get rid of it. If you will experience it again, you can get it here.

[Q] Home button in SView on 4.4.2

Hello,
I already started to solve my problem in the SView-Mod-Thread, but before I spam it with too much off-topic, I created a thread in the right place.
The problem ist self-explaining, since the update to KitKat and UENB ROM, SView is working properly for the genuine SView-Cover. I am using the Spigen S View Cover and this cover has a home button, in detail it has a lay-in in the front cover to push the home button of the phone. On 4.3 it was possible to wake up the device with the home button, also it was possible to activate the torch by pushing the VolUp button. On 4.4 it is neither possible to wake up the device with the homebutton nor activate the torch.
It seems that some users have the possibility to use the buttons, but no one can explain what they did or what the reason is. So anyone, who could give some advice, how it is possible to reactivate the buttons in closed mode?
THanks in advance.

Xposed framework... Allows the use of torch using volume buttons when screen is off.
Not sure if the "home button" is supported by the sview case mod....

My ROM supports the genuine Samsung torch, that is enabled with VolUp, no Mod needed. This Mod doesn't change the behavior of the buttons at all, so there must be another way. And I am looking around for it since a while now, because it annoys me to not be able to use the full functionality of my cover.

Having The same issues with the spigen s-view cover and it is most annoying
+1, did anyone find a solution?
Same problem here. Also Galaxy S4 (not SII as my sig says..) with Spigen Armor View in combination with 4.4.2. Anybody got a olution yet?
It's a pity that Samsung always changes the running system. Maybe some users complained about false wakeups because of pushing the button through the cover. Samsung neverminds about third party accessoires.
We have to encounter, where the hardware button lock is triggered or maybe port the old SView apk to KK. But just too little knowledge about that on my side.

having the same issue. it drives me insane so much so that im debating rolling back to 4.2
This was one thing I noticed straight after I upgraded to KitKat, I have the official s view cover and I used the home button all the time to wake my phone up as it's just easier and I could do it with one hand. Now since Its been disabled I have use lock button which is just a pain in the arse! Also when on a phone call with s view cover closed I have to press the luck button, not big issues but I hate it when things get changed for no reason!

Thx for any advice as missing this function really made 4.4 unusable for me... Would like to downgrade to 4.3 but no way...
I have the samsung galaxy s4 and today i install the 4.4.2 and i have the same issue.
Is there any chance that samsung going to re-enable the home button support for 3rd party sview cases?
Hey all. I have enabled: both s-view xposed modules available and disabled the xuimod module. When I disabled that, my home button worked. Let me know if that works for you.

So is there any solution for NON root mobile phones with 4.4.2?
And does samsung announcement anywhere that it solves this issue at the next update?

Not sure if this is launcher specific but I'm using Nova Prime and if you long press the menu button, then the original menu items pop up instead of recent apps. I never test with TW launcher. Discovered this later. But this way you don't have to remap with gravity box.

I'm not even sure what gravitybox even is. I tried to see if it was in the app storre. someone else in the thread recommended to do so....
FYI - the layout used in the S5 is the standard Android button layout and you will see fewer and fewer devices using a dedicated menu button, as there's no need for it in Android 4.x+

Gravity BOX is a module that is installed after you first use Xposed Installer. Google this or look it up in a search here on XDA.

Disable Home Button Completely

Hello, all. I'm trying to disable the home button. I've tried everything I've read and searched up, it's a no-go. It doesn't wake the phone which is halfway there but it still functions after the lockscreen. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Root your phone, install xposed framework and install xposed additions from playstore, re-map your button with your fav. action :good:

let's me see
It didn't work for any of the capacitive buttons nor the home. But I'm already good with the capacitives through another method. Hardware home seems impenetrable. Anything else?
All right. I finally got it! I edited gpio-keys.kl (separate from the rest of the buttons from down there for some reason) and I added a # in front of key 172 HOME and saved it.

How to disable notch (front camera) acting as power button?

I don't know at which time this got activated, maybe its a "feature" of the CarHD mod I am using, but its so annoying and I cant find how to disable it. I googled it, searched it here and in the phone menu, but no luck. Taping the front camera notch locks the phone, and holding it brings up the power menu. Its so useless and annoying, because I press it by mistake and lock my phone. The actual power button is much more easy to press. Anyone has the same issue? Have you found how to disable it?
Thanks in advance.
There would be an option in the carhd rom control app, perhaps in the status at section
