So I deleted a few of the HTC toggle widgets from the screen (thinking i could always put them back later,) but i can't figure out how to restore them. Anybody know?
If you are serious, touch and hold your screen then follow the breadcrumbs.
I know how to add widgets to the screen. I just wasnt finding the ones i wanted in the list. I now see that they're under the settings subheading.
Thanks for your help
for me, just long-press on the screen or press the "plus" sign, and then "add widget".
scroll down to what looks like it might be a "settings" widget, but when you press on it, another menu pops up with all the toggles, like 4g, Airplane Mode, Bluetooth. Just press on whichever one you want, and it will show up on your home screen.
If that doesn't work, then you have a problem.
Is anyone having an issue when you push the button to pull up the menu to turn off the phone? When I push the button, the phone vibrates for a half second and then freezes. It then does a quick boot and is back to normal again. Sometimes it says 'Activity LauncherPro (in application LauncherPro) is not responding'
I'm having the same issue... Help anyone?

If you're having trouble with your phone waking due to the home button, this is the mod for you.
I work in a restaurant and i keep finding that my phone gets quite warm in my pocket because
the screen comes on (it also likes taking screen shots, and sometimes even opens the camera).
Hope this is helpful for you guys.

The mod worked great, but I miss using the home button to unlock. My Otterbox Defender case prevents the pocket push so I un did it lol. Thx for the find!

I don't found it,,
I am using Jelly Bean rom right now and I missed the home button just turns on screen. I think in JB whenever I Push home button it directly goes to home. I mean if you gave a break when reading something when You push home button the app you working on is not active anymore but it goes to home instead. Do you guys have a fix for that?

I'd like to have that too. I had it on my previous phone and liked it.
Edit: Interesting, this is the contents of my whole file, and yet only the home and power buttons do wake up the phone.
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 172 HOME WAKE
key 116 POWER WAKE
Hi, on my galaxy note 2, I don't have the seckeys.kl file. What's up with that?
Its a galaxy note 2, this mod is for the s3
This works great! Thank you for finding this mod.
I'm using on-screen navbar buttons. The home button is the ugly thing Samsung has to put it there.

WAKE: When this key is pressed while the device is asleep, the device will wake up and the key event gets sent to the app.
WAKE_DROPPED: When this key is pressed while the device is asleep, the device will wake up and the key event does not get sent to the app.
Interesting. ..can you give more detail or where to change?

When I first did this I used ES File Explorer to make the edits. It didn't work so I went back to change it back and even though I went back to the default settings the Home button does not turn on the device. So, I downloaded Root Explorer thinking that would help. The strange thing is when I go into the sec_keys.kl file to edit, it is completely blank. So, I added each line manually and then hit save and exit. But, when I go back into it, it is blank again. I assume that all of this has something to do with the home button not turning on the phone. So, what am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?

same problem, it fails to turn on the phone.
Once I do this mod it works but now everytime I push the home button, the phone vibrates and makes the touch screen sounds. Anyone know a solution so this one home button does not vibrate or make a sound when pressed besides turning off vibrations and sounds for the whole phone?

I don't use any lock screen and I always use the home button to wake my phone up.
Since official JB, the home button not only wakes the phone up but it closes the app I'm in. Example : I'm browsing something on chrome, the screen turns off bc of timeout, I wake the phone using the home button and I see chrome back but immediatly it closes down like if I had pressed the home button again (but I didn't). The same behavior does not happen when a lock screen is enabled.
I tried searching for an answer and tried the solution of editing the .kl files in system/usr/keylayout by adding WAKE_DROPPED or replacing WAKE with WAKE_DROPPED for every occurence of the home key (key 172) without luck. I tried fixing the permissions in CWM and I made sure the permissions are rw-r-r.
Running stock rooted with CWM.
Any other ideas? Thx!
I'm also curious about this. My temporary fix was to unfreeze S Voice in Titanium and then enable the double press of the home button to start S Voice.
I'd rather keep S Voice frozen and still keep the same behaviour of the home button in ICS.

Yes that does work indeed. However, it brings back the lag when pressing the home button. I'm also using home2 shortcut for some shortcuts and it completely breaks them!
The same problem arises also when you long press the home button to get to recent apps, if you have an app open in the background at that moment and you press the home button to get out of the recent app screen, it closes the app!
So my phone was in my pocket and it was getting hot so i took it out, and saw it on the boot animation. I left it and it didn't go past this boot screen so i held in the power button to restart it, and it restarted. Only when i turned it on, my 4G plan was active, and I could no longer use the notification pull down bar. I can swipe down from the top once, but not a second time to access quick settings. Also my circle and square (home and multitask) buttons are not working, the phone vibrates when i touch them but nothing happens, only the triangle (back) button works. On the lock screen, there is no longer an option to swipe right for the camera, and double pressing the home button to activate the camera does nothing, it just turns the display on and off. I have tried putting the phone into safe mode to see if an app was causing the problem, but the problem persists, when i turned my phone back on normally, the widgets on my home screen had disappeared. I tried switching accounts to the guest account but it says 'switching to guest' and then seems to fail to switch to the guest account and quickly says 'switching to (main account name)', before returning to my main account. Any ideas, I really need the problem fixed, thanks in advance!
stock rom??
my advice if you cant fix it try to do a factory reset do it like your last resource cause it wipes all data
another advice you should always have a backup you never know when **** like this happens
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah I am running stock ROM, so strange that this has happened.
I am struggling to backup photos etc as i would usually enable usb debugging and just click and drag the folders over to my PC, but it says on my settings page that 'developer options are not available to this user', so I am having to use another photo backup website, which is annoying.
This happened to be when I manually updated from MMB29Q to MHC19J without flashing MMB29V first. Only solution was to boot into TWRP to backup my files and then factory reset.
