Missing button lock/not lock option

My TD2 doesn't have the option in settings menu to set the the device to do not lock buttons. Is it just mine or have HTC ommitted this setting
No you are right - I was annoyed when I couldn't find this option and checked the Control panel on my old Diamond. Ideally I'd like to be able to configure the same options as previous (so if anything need someone to port this control panel applet and function to the Diamond2).
I’m tired to press power button every time I want to make a call. I would prefer to wake it up by pressing a button as on older devices. so I miss this option to.
also interested in finding a solution ... maybe a .cab ...
Nothing yet? I need it for my HD2
try-it Smart lock
Have you tried the TD2 tools.
Wake up on ANY key.

[Q] Double tapping on the home button

Hey guys,
Is there a way to handle the double tapping of the home button action to be others? Because I want to use this application Quickdesk Pro but S2 does not have a search button where I can long press it to trigger this application. So how do I actually use this application?
Thanks in advance.
search button?
long press menu key?
Yeah.. but long press menu button can't trigger the application itself.
Anyone know about this?
Google is your friend:

works on KE2
Tried installing it but to no avail. Still unable to use Quickdesk on double tap of the home button.
Anyone know about this issue?

[Q] Change Functions Of Home Button?

I have a 9505G rooted, and I'd like to change the funcitons of the home button. Specificaly, there are two changes I'd like to make.
1. Disable the home button while the phone is locked. While the phone is locked and asleep, I can use either the power button or the home button to wake the phone. I want to disable the home button here, so that only the power button can wake the phone. I find that while my phone is in my pocket, it often wakes up "on its own", presumably because I'm accidnetally pressing the home button against my hip, chair, whatever...
2. Launch the recently-used apps list by holding the home button. On previous devices I've used (such as the Galaxy Nexus), holding down the home button would bring up the list of recently-used apps. With the S4GE, the long-press brings up Google Now, and a double-click is required for the recently-used apps list. I'd like to change this behavior so that a long-press brings up the recent app list, and double-click does nothing.
Can this be done, and if so, how? Thanks for your help.

[Q] Switch hold home button and menu button functions

Hi
I bought galaxy s4 last month but I am not happy with functionality of the home and sensor buttons. In my opinion switch application (the list of all previously opened apps) is very important button and I am not happy to wait whole second holding down home button to get simple alt+tab feature. At all this big hardware button does not fit in the whole picture and its the biggest mistake of this phone. Now I cannot remove it but at least I want to use it as much as little I can. So I want to switch menu button and "hold home" buttons. Its far more sensible to make separate sensor button for switching app than use it for menu functionality. I didn't root my phone and I don't want to root it but if its needed to get rid of this stupidness I will make it. So is there any way to switch menu button and "hold home" button?
thx

[Q] AHHHHH I want my old galaxy button layout!!

Hi All
I've just got a S5 today. Overall I like it a lot however the bloody button res-assignments is soooooooo annoying!
Is there any to re-map the button layout back to the older galaxy versions? I.E.
Press the left button and the menu will activate (I know if I hold it down it will work but I keep forgetting and it brings up the tasker)
Hold the home button to bring up the tasker.
Frustrating yours

Root it -> Install Xposed -> Install GravityBox
Thanks, I had thought about it but its a new fone and you know what Samsung are like... I'm leaving towards re-mapping the key.
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
Anyone know the key number for the left button (Is it 138), what would I need to change to make the default option a menu. I suppose thinking out loud I want to swap the commands over. I.e. I press the key once I get the menu, press and hold I get the tasker.
Thanks
P.
Just long press the left button and the options come up

Your best bet is to use gravity box, as suggested above. You can only change the recents function to menu via the file you mentioned. I believe the rest of the options you want are smali edits.
