[Q] Power button menu home button?

Just got the SGIII and my GNex is now my 16 month old daughters learning device. We installed a whole bunch of baby stuff but the problem is she keeps hitting the home button and exiting the app.
The phone is rooted and I am running the Nova launcher so I could remove all the navbar buttons... But then I won't be able to exit some apps if there isn't a built in exit option...
My idea was to add a HOME button to the power button menu. That way I would have a way to exit but my daughter shouldn't be able to figure it out so easily. Does anyone know if this is possible?
I'm running Codename Android ROM but I'd change if there was one that would work better.
Also, does anyone know how to disable the google search option when you drag your finger up from the bottom... I can't stand it, I always seem to do it by mistake myself.
Thanks,
Jim

i dont think this is possible..

Ok I figured as much. Any other ideas how I could hide home button but still have access to it via some other means?

This sounds exactly what you're after. It lets you remove/restore the navbar from the power menu, preventing unwanted exits.

I do not know

There's a solution.
Just use app called gmd spen control. It disables all finger touches of you need it to.
You can even set it automatically to disable finger input when you pull out your spen.
(this app doesn't work on 4.4.2 yet)

Which app captures side button

Does anyone know which app captures S-note when you press side button? (when it switches to gesture mode).
Or is that integrated into framework itself?

I guess you might be talking about screen capture. Use the Lock key+home key combo to capture screen using hardware keys. Press down on them together for a couple of seconds. Otherwise you can enable motion for palm swipe based screen capture, or use the s pen to capture the screen.
If it helped, do press thanks

There's this 'GMD S-Pen control' app. Search for it on the play store. Maybe that's what you are looking for. One can create any custom gesture for the s-pen using this.

[Q] Soft Buttons on S Pen Release?

Dear Devs. Chefs...
Please please please make a mode that will enable a soft buttons menu when we release the s pen from the note 2, :fingers-crossed:
Very annoying when u have to touch your finger to toggle the buttons.
I hope some one has thought about this.
It would be great if it buttons would be integrated on the statusbar.
I'm using a Stock Rooted Rom...
I've tried the status bar enabled full time and that is annoying too...
Looking for trigger based soft buttons to be specific
I want the S pen features to work...
I've tried the PAC rom! I like it but then I like the S pen features more!
Thank you Cheers!

S pen features working only in Samsung rom base, coz its closed sources, u can try another apps from market.

Is there any app that enables " Lets say Floating Soft Buttons '' ?
I've tried searching and ended up with nothing resourceful!

1. Press pen button
2. Swipe pen downwards on bottom left and bottom right of screen
3. Profit
Gestures aren't super fast but they work

It's not disabled. It's just isn't possible. S pen works on potentiometer. It just sends the movement signals the pressure on pen tip and the button. It does not simulate human touch. So it's not possible.

OMG Thank you so much !!!

From four months of using Note II until today I never knew about this gesture feature...THANKS for the info.

My bad. ..
Sorry n Thank you for the tip. .. .
But there is no option to add command like go back to main menu or switch application.
I could allocate a task manager though.

Yeah hold button and drag 1/5 of the screen towards button or enable nav bar.

Why don't you try flashing pie controls? I think its possible for any rooted ROM.

Remap spen button?

Hey all, is there a way to remap the spen button to something else other than bringing up the air command menu?
I use Papyrus a lot and would like to remap the s pen button to switch to the Papyrus eraser.

Sounds like a potent rom feature or maybe an xposed module... I couldn't find much on this... Try looking in the note 2 and note 3 forums... If it can be done it on those I would think it would be done the same way... I would be surprised if you didn't need root though.

Any word?
Does anyone know if there's been any development on this?

I'm neck deep in smali files, looking for this. Just give me a bit. Unless a more experienced developer shows up, I'll try my best to find something for you. But be gentle

note buddy app
This is not a way to remap spen button but i think its a great and easy workaround
Note buddy app has auto launch you can set to open papyrus when spen is removed.
Also can easily set attach and detach sounds
Then goto spen in settings to turn off stock sounds and disable detachment from air command to none
