When I wake up my phone with the home key, it usually takes me the the "recent apps" screen (as if I long-pressed home), so I have to press 'back' to get rid of it. I just want it to turn the screen on.
I am running Slimkat 4.4.2 with Nova launcher. I can't find a setting on the rom or Nova to disable this.
It did the same thing when I was on Whomp rom (with Nova).
It doesn't seem to do this on the stock launcher. Is this a known Nova issue?
Anyone else have this issue, or a solution?
Thanks!
Mike
It could be nova launcher. I use apex and don't have this issue

I'm using CM 11 and since it's using 4.4.2 Kit Kat so I don't know if SlimKat have the same... you may solve it if you go to your phone settings - buttons - home button and put a check there. There are other adjustments under buttons setting you can find there too.
Good luck!

Is it possible to change the delay on the home button long press to bring up the task manager more quickly in touchwiz? By default it feels frustratingly slow!
I want to keep the S-apps so I am not interested in a different home manager.
Thanks
Here the little known solution.

Please here me out as this involves installing Nove launcher. Something you stated you do not wish to do.
Install Nova launcher but after pressing the home button choose TouchWiz "always".
If you now long press the screen and choose "apps & widgets". In there somewhere is a widget called Nova launcher. Long pressing this to place it on the screen invokes a menu that actually belongs to the Nova launcher where you can choose "Recent apps". This places a recent apps shortcut on your screen which open instantly.
This obviously does not help if you are not on the home screen and will jump back to a previous app. In such situations you should use the best app on the market for multitasking which is called SwipePad. You need to purchase the "recent apps" add on ftbut it's worth it.
Hope this helps.
I wish S-apps (especially the S-Planner widget) worked with third party launchers. Touchwiz is smooth and fast but the grid is simply to limited and no full screen annoys me.
download taskmanager app from samsung appstore...put it on homescreen
Disable double press of the home button in S voice.
Whenever you press the home button it waits to see if you double press it before deciding that you only intended to press it once.

Thanks for these tips, swipepad looks very interesting!
Also I didn't realize that the pop-up S-Note still worked with Nova Launcher, so I may keep Nova anyway (I think I can live without S-Planner...)
As some have now noticed, there is a new bug in JB related to waking the device using the home screen under certain configurations.
[size=+1]How to reproduce:[/size]
Set lockscreen to None (might affect others types?? - default Swipe is NOT affected)
Open any app
Lock screen with power button
Press home button
[size=+1]Expected result (and how it worked in ICS):[/size]
The phone wakes, and you're back at the app you had opened before locking the screen
[size=+1]Actual result:[/size]
The phone wakes, but the home key press is processed as if the phone WAS NOT asleep.
In other words: it's like you hit the home key and you're taken to the launcher as normal. Or alternatively, if you locked the phone while at the launcher, whatever action you have configured for the home key in the launcher is triggered (for example, opening the app drawer).
[size=+1]Some notes:[/size]
Tested with both stock TW launcher and Apex - same result
Tested after OTA update, and full wipe - same result

I've tried these suggestions in various combinations... so far no fix that works.
So lets see if we can use our collective intelligence and fix this.
Yes please! It's bugging me like hell!
After some further testing:
If you have S-Voice installed, and the "Open via the home key" option enabled, this bug will not happen.
Which is fine and good if you want a 1 second delay every time you press the home button.
And who wouldn't want that - right Samsung? /sarcasm
any fix for this yet?
nvmd, looks like the fix could be here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2009218
nope, so far the existing solutions do not work

No bug in here. I did what you said and after i press home button i get back to app not home screen.
that's very weird, many people I've read on XDA have this problem.
What launcher do you use?
Are you using 4.1.1. stock rom?

Did you see my follow up?
You probably have S-Voice enabled on home button double press, right?

Same difference, I guess. The problem is only present when you don't have a double-press function assigned on the home button.

Sorry to ask but I am also very irritated with this bug. How do you guys set this option for google? I don't want S Voice.

I use Home Button Shortcut
As the title. I don't use a lockscreen and when I want to use my phone I just want to press a button & return to my last position.
The home button as it takes me back to my launcher.
I can't use the lockscreen button because the button needs to be pushed quite hard due to being in an Otterbox case.
Any ideas?

Are you using stock TouchWiz launcher or something else? I know some like Nova, etc., have the ability to assign what the Home button does. If you set it to "do nothing" - maybe it will just wake the phone and you'll still be in your last position?
Home button should wake your screen by default.
The home button also send me back to the launcher. It doesn't simply reopen the last active state.
I'm using nova launcher. I the Hutton crions it has only works when I'm at the launcher, not in the active app.

I'm not sure then. Button remapping is sorta what you're looking for but can't really get that on stock.
Lockscreen might be your solution for now? :silly:
I tried remapping. It just disabled my home/menu/back buttons. lol
I'm weary of custom roms for privacy & stability issues. I've tried some before but I feel as though it's too easy to slip in a back door without my knowledge. But I'm also a little paranoid. So maybe I should just suck it up and switch

After updated to 4.4, first of my version is 757, I have found that when I press "back" button to quit an app and want return to the home screen, sometime I will see the other app shown which I have opened before, but it will only show half second, and then return to home screen, anyone got to the same problem? Thanks.
OS: Android 4.4.4 (108)
Launcher: Apex Launcher Pro
There's a bug in Android, but the correct way to return to the homescreen is by using the home button anyway. Using the back button is very different, depending on the app.
I haven't seen this particular problem anywhere on the forum. Is there a way for NOVA Launcher long menu press to override the CM11 long menu press? I'm trying to use the long menu press to hide my dock but have not been successful. My Tab 3 7.0 running Rocket Tab will let me do it. I'm still not getting rid of NOVA and CM because it is just a minor issue but I'd like to know if anyone has been successful with it.
