score on terminal emulator 3776(with apk)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] ikaybuang:
hi. i've been wondering how u got scores like that. i typed watch -n 1 cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail and i cant see those numbers 3k+.

just this line : Every 1s : cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail followed by the time and date. im also wondering if the seeder was working. BTW im using the apk.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] cascabel:
did you see the screenshot i posted? you should see something like that. i also use just the apk. i turn it on and use the home button to leave the app. although i still get the same scores after i reboot without opening the app first (as long as i check the option to set it on boot). what rom and kernel are you on?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Fortun:
Problem is that not everyone will be able to see it like that. There's a weird bug indeed, terminal and ADB show nothing to me as well.

However there's another way in which you can check if the binary is doing its thing. Using a file explorer with root access go to proc>sys>kernel>random and open the file entropy_avail. If the binary is active, it should show a number in the thousands. If it isn't, it would show you a number in the hundreds.

By the way, the binary does indeed help in overall responsiveness. I wouldn't say it "provides significant lag reduction", but it is noticeable. Specially when opening an app.

For people who want to leave the app behind, with the rngd binary in the xbin folder, the init.d script only needs this:

#!/system/bin/sh
rngd

I've seen a couple of scripts for calling the binary and they both have unnecessary code.

Why do people like unnecessary code?

The next line is not needed in the init.d script:

mount -o remount,rw -t auto /data
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Ryuinferno:
I wrote the script and it is needed because rngd generates a file named rngd.pid in /data by default...it stores the pid of rngd...if I did not do that, you may see error codes...;)...the app generates rngd.pid by itself, but since this is a script, we need to do stuff manually...

Not one person who voiced an opinion was able to back it up with proof, either way.

I don't care what they said.

I can confirm that the phone is faster than before flashing the seeder.

Yup, I mean I've made the same conditions before and after I installed (ran the same apps and made sure that the RAM is equal in the two cases).

Grabbed a stopwatch, then click click... opened some apps, and measured the time. I've not made pictures or video of it, but believe me, the seeder brought some minus secs in loadings... Not to mention, the phone call delays are all gone (black screen when someone calling me for some secs)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
Based on this awesome mod for the S3: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1836758

For the Note 2 (I can only vouch for the Sprint version), you need to edit a different file.

1. Mount as R/W and open /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl.

2. Scroll to the line that says:

"key 172 HOME WAKE"

3a. Now if you want to make it so the Home button never wakes the phone, delete everything after the 2 so it looks like this:

"key 172"

OR

3b. Alternatively, you can change "WAKE" to "WAKE_DROPPED" in step #2 if you use the stock lock screen and want your home button *NOT* to send you back to the home screen when you use it to wake. In my opinion Samsung should have defaulted it to WAKE_DROPPED in the first place. For what it's worth, WAKE_DROPPED doesn't seem to have any effect on WidgetLocker. If you use WidgetLocker, I suggest just doing step 3a instead.

4. Save it, lock the filesystem, and reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] netzer119:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] stu5797:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mackentosh:
Stops the home button from wakeing your phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
Depends what lock screen app you're using. If you're using stock, you can do as my post said and replace "WAKE" with "WAKE_DROPPED" and it will show the last app used.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] stu5797:
I have the pin lockscreen but it only comes on every 30 mins of no usage. Otherwise the screen turns on immediately with no lockscreen. I playing with this and just cant get the home button to work like it did in ice cream sandwich and just power on the device when the syatem is off. I hate how it now powers on the device, closes your last app and takes you home. I know i can just hit power but that is not convenient for how i use my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] snovvman:
Thanks for sharing this.

When I look at my file, it seems like keys 115 & 114, volume up and volume down, respectively, also has "WAKE" assigned to them. However, the volume buttons do not wake the phone. Why?

For clarification, if I wanted to keep the home button from waking the phone, I would edit the line to read key "key 172"?

I wonder if I can simply remove or comment out the line? (using ";")

Edit: Adding a ";" in front of the line indeed disables the line. My home key no longer wakes the phone.

I'm still curious about 115 and 114, why are they assigned as wake but do not wake the phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jconway1968:
It works, but at the cost of the Home button not turning on the phone. I'm looking for an option where the Home button still wakes the device but goes to the last app prior to the phone going into sleep mode. Any thoughts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jconway1968:
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 gpio-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?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] k-wow:
I have the same problem. I use Widget Locker and would like to know how I can get the home button to simply wake up the device without it taking me to the home screen and bypassing my lock screen.

Edit: 3a did not work for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Stefenatefun:
I'm on a stock LJC deodexed ROM, and all values in this file are set to "WAKE", yet when I hit the home button to turn the screen on, it acts as if it's at "WAKE_DROPPED".

According to everybody else in this thread, this shouldn't be happening, but it is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
So to clarify, you're saying pressing the home button takes you to the stock lock screen, and then unlocking it takes you to the last app you were running still in the foreground?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] stu5797:
It takes you to your last app and wakes the screen if you have s voice enabled. If you have s voice disabled like me it always annoyingly takes you to your home screen instead of the last app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] firehazemt:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ShortBusCandid8:
Not trying to get off topic with the home key, but those two concerns about Tapatalk are not valid. Swype auto spaces and, if it's not a link staying in the same website, ie xda, I get a browser selection popup when I click an external link.

I always meant to come back to this thread, but the holidays came about and I forgot about it. :/ Sorry.

I maintain that the OP still works, and always has on every ROM I've tried, although I don't think I've tried it on the latest stock builds. I'm currently using it on RootBox (AOSP 4.2.2) to disable the Home button from waking up and it works fine. I use FX (with root pack) to unlock the directory, then edit the file with its built-in editor. I'm not sure why some people are running into problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Geezer Squid:
The only thing I disliked about my Note 2 was the Home Button waking up the phone. This is the first Android phone I've had that routinely wakes up while in my pocket - makes me NUTS!!

Sorry to revive an old thread, but this issue still exists.

Has no one found a way to make non-touchwiz roms replicate the built in home key function?? I'd like to have the home key simply wake up the phone in a non-TW rom. That is all. No waking up and pressing the home button. Simply waking up the phone. Anyone? (on the non-TW roms i've been trying, "key 172 WAKE" is what's there as a default, and I haven't had success after changing it to WAKE_DROPPED)

edit: it looks like people with other devices are changing key 102 instead of 172. i just restored my old rom so maybe i'll try this tomorrow, but has anyone else tried this?

SOLVED in JB without S-Voice. Using Xposed Additions Module

The WAKE_DROPPED never worked for me but here's another solution to AVOID going back to the home screen if you wake the phone using [HOME] with or without a lock screen.

The fix can be done using the Xposed Additions Module.

Actually it's pretty easy:

-Install / Enable the Adittions Module inside Xposed Framework and Reboot.

-Open Xposed Additions and go to the last menu option "Buttons"

-Remap [HOME] and choose the condition "Screen Off / Disable Click Action". Voila! you're done.

I thought I had to live forever with that issue. Thanks and all the credit to the developer.
