Is there a way to disable the home buttom ? - Acer Iconia Tab A100

I'll be doing something and then my hand slides over it and ****s up everything. Just to be clear I mean the home button on the device itself. Not on ics. Thanks in advance!

tapatalk does not close on one try pressing back button

I use tapatalk to browse xda or other forums. When i press the back button on the T989 it stops at the program's forums list and just flashes each time. it finally exits after 10+ times of pressing back button. if i press home button then it closes. not a big deal but just wondering if this happens to anyone else.
Nope, just you. My Tapatalk app is tamed
It probably has something to do with the way you use Tapatalk. It works fine on my phone.

Will a ROM fix this??

I just got a new sgs2 thru a warranty exchange, but for some reason this one doesnt have a lockscreen. I press the power button and It just opens to my homescreen, also when I hold the power button it just shuts down instead of giving me the lil options of shutting down, airplane, etc. will installing a ROM fix these issues or do I gotta get a new one again?? Thanks

Yes a new rom should clear this up np. the rom im using actually gives you the option to remove the lockscreen all together. the prior user of your phone must have removed the lockscreen.... Either that or they have some shady software program that restores the phones at tmobil.

I wonder if Widget Locker alone is enough to fix your problem.

Screenshots

I doubt there is, but is there another way to screenshot without the hand gestures on a stock phone? Everyone I try I end up clicking something

Press and hold the Home and Power buttons at the same time for a second and you will get a screenshot.
Thanks
I tried that before and it didn't work. Got it now

Disable power button when locked

Hey all,
Due to the size of this phone, I am almost always pressing the power button as I take the phone from my pocket. Then as I continue to remove it the phone ends up unlocking.
Is there a way to disable the power button when the screen is locked?

So I'm guessing that this can't be done?

I accidentally thanked your post. So I thought I'd grace you with an actual written response too. I'm pretty sure there isn't an app that could do this, but with root it could be possible. If you could for example integrate some type of action to disable the lock button in Tasker it might work.

Thanks for your reply. I'll look into your suggestion. Pity I can't just do it, coz surely I'm not the only person with the issue!

In this situation I would just enable the lock screen option, that way even if the phone screen accidentally turns on the phone would still be locked.

Just browsing through xda and found this it looks wonderful on the Note 3. Take a look and try it out. I love it!

Thanks for sharing this. I actually discovered this a couple days ago & just haven't tried it.
Seems very cool. Only think that sux is. The long press home button doesn't turn on the flashlight anymore.. Running tweaked

Damn...was about to install this to try...no go for me.

Hmm... I wonder if that holds true for any lockscreen app. Most likely does... interesting though.
Yeah I agree, I don't use flash as much as I should. I'll email the devs to see if they're planning on doing widgets or some sort of gesture for flashlight. Turning the phone sideways triggers the camera which is cool.
