Home button acting weird - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have a galaxy s3 with cm11 and boeffla kernel. Today, out of nowhere, my home button and menu button started acting weird. I have the home button setted to sleep my phone on long press and wake it up when the screen is off and do nothing on double press . The menu is set to open the recent apps. It has always worked this way till today.
When I press the home button inside an app it won't return to the home but it still wakes the phone when the screen is off. Also the menu won't open the recent apps and it doesn't vibrate either. The back button still works but does not vibrate. I used gravity box to activate the navigation bar and the home button doesn't work on the navigation bar either.
I tried installing upgrating my firmware to the latest nightly, wipe cache and dalvik but no luck.

You won't repair a modded framework, wipe and start again.

So I need to do a factory reset? Is there a way to know what happened? I didn't touch anything. Is it possible that some xposed module caused this?

[Q] Disable the menu and back touchkeys on sleep?

How do i disable the menu and back touchkeys when phone is in sleepmode?
Problem is that i use the NeatRom 4.4.2 and i can always wake the phone just by touching the menu or back button.
I want to disable this so that the phone doesnt accidently turn on while in my pocket. I want to be able wake it ONLY by power button and home button!

[Q] Problems after updating CM

After updating my e970 to cm-11-20140504-SNAPSHOT-M6 through the OTA updater I'm having some problems:
I'm not getting any notifications. Nothing is showing up in the pulldown menu. Nothing at all.
The Home button does not work. It vibrates when I tap it, but does nothing. The back button works, and the menu button works but does not bring up search on long press even though it's set to do so.
Everything else seems fine.
Have you guys had similar issues? Any Idea on how to fix this?

[Q] Physical Navigation Buttons STOPPED working

It's been a while since I posted a question about my HOX+ but this is weird.
I was on the phone, after a wet shower (it was an emergency call). My cheeks were a bit wet. Anyway once I finished with the phone call, I tried using my navigation buttons, but none of them would light up/vibrate/ do anything. I couldn't press on the home button, or back, or menu/recents. But the volume and power buttons worked. I went to the Recovery, then went to "Advanced" "Key test" , Pressed volume up and down and it wrote "Key: 114/115" and then I pressed on power button "Key: 116" but pressing on the home button/back/recents buttons doesn't return any response even in recovery. Pressing everywhere on the screen works totally fine too saying "Key: -216545121646" EXCEPT about 1 cm above the physical area.
Since I am on Carbon Rom, I was able to add a navigation bar, but even that doesnt work! I can't press on any buttons in that onscreen navigation bar. But holding it and swiping up reveals the "Ring" .
ROM: CarbonRom 4.4.4
Recovery: CWM Touch
Help?
install a customs aosp style rom (idk i didnt try stock so dont burn me) then add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0, if it doesnt work with your rom, ust check to to see if xtana will work, if not, try an aosp rom

None of my buttons work, not even power button!

Hey guys, I was editting the Generic.kl and build.prop to disable the capacitive keys and enable on screen keys and I did everything right ( I did this a few weeks back and it worked perfectly) but then my home button, back, and recents button stopped working. My volume and power buttons don't work either so I can't click home to go back to my home screen and I cant power own my device. Does anyone have any ideas what to do? Will a factory reset do anything? Thanks
EDIT: Nvm guys, I fixed it by using NFC on my Nexus 6 to beam a restart app to my GS6 so I could install it through the Play Store and opened the app straight through the Store and the restart fixed it.

A little problem with Long-press action on nav-bar

I'm currently on a D851 G3 stock rooted MM, I've enabled long-press action on nav-bar however, after I press and hold the home button to turn off the screen then unlocking the screen, open an app and press home button to back to homescreen (here is the problem), it won't, you need to press once again to make it happen I mean I have to press twice to make it back to home, the problem just occurs once right after unlocking my phone. Btw, there is no problem at all after I turn off Long-press action so I assumes there is a minor bug with this greenify function on my phone. Just a small issue but I hope someone can help me with it. Tks guys for reading
