How to disable the home key button at screen off in Cobrato's miui GB 1.7.15?
i 've try Pierre's method which is :
•Open Root Explorer

•Click on the button ‘Mount R/W’ (upper right)
•Locate, press and hold es209ra_keypad.kl file
•Select ‘open in text editor’
•Find this line:
•key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
•Remove the WAKE_DROPPED, so that the end result is:
•key 102 HOME
•Save the file
•Reboot
•Done
my problem is after i edit, save&exit, the "WAKE_DROPPED" can't be removed or cant edit at all. Why? How come this rom won't allow me to edit es209ra_keypad.kl file?
i'm using root explorer ver 2.16,Click on the button ‘Mount R/W’ ,set permission rw-r--r--
Hope some1 can help. TQ
maybe copy your file to pc, edit it with notepad ++ or something & copy it back to your phone in its original location & overwrite the existing file & set the permissions?
thanks!! It's work with ur method. But it also disable the long press to on the torch as well. That's ok for me.
Root your device then open root folder with x - plore app after that go to following directory
efc / imei
Create a file named "Keystr"
Openfile as text and write " ON " Save the file
Tap and hold the file a menu will pop up click on permission
First deselect all boxes and click ok
Again go to permission and select all boxes under read write column click ok
Go to settings > lock screen
Re - enable Lock instantly with power button option.
:good:
Just download and install cm12.1, I found a bug showing a red frame around the edges, it bothered me a lot, so I'm bringing research and the solution.
What they need:
1: Download and install a root file browser / manager app from the Google Play Store. I recommend Root Browser .. Skip this step if You Already have it installed.
2: Launch Root Browser and open "system" directory.
3: Scroll down to "build.prop" file and open it with a text editor.
4: Now add the following lines at the end of "build.prop"
persist.sys.strictmode.visual = 0
persist.sys.strictmode.disable = 1
and replace
this:
ro.build.type = eng
to this:
ro.build.type = user
5: Finally, tap on Save to save the changes.
When You Are With These things done, reboot your phone for the Changes to take effect.

Reason for thread:
There are some discrepancies between Unlocked vs Verizon HTC 10 with the build.xml file as well as numerous variations of instructions for enabling hotspot function for tose that have grandfathered unlimited data I thought I would put up a detailed how to that is specific to this version of the HTC 10 and what are the proper edits to get it to work.
While the popular ROMs enable this by default there are still many that run deodexed debloated versions of the stock ROM. Not to mention the same edits are needed for nonrooted HTC 10s tthru adb so having the correct info archived on the site seemed like a good idea.
(As a note as far as I know if you do not have a rooted ie S-off supersu phone you can do this thru adb and your PC but be very careful to set permissions back to what they were when you transfer the file back.)
As I have only done this on the rooted phone and thus did all editing on the phone itself I am only giving those instructions but the edits needed are exactly the same.
I am making these instructions painfully detailed so anyone can follow. I am also listing root explorer as the app used so I can give specific step by step. Obviously other root browser can be used
Instructions
Phone: Verizon Branded HTC 10 (Sunshine S-off, SuperSU rooted)
1: Installed Root Explorer (from Google Play) (or other root file manager i.e. on that's possibly free)
2: Configure Root Explorer and navigate to default.xml file
----- Open Root Explorer
----- Click on R/W Mode button
----- Supersu window will open, Choose grant access button
----- Navigate from root to " /system/customize/ACC " folder ( there should only be one file in the folder " default.xml "
3: Make a backup copy of default.xml
----- Press and hold on the " default.xml " file name to highlight it
----- Press the "copy" button that appears on the top tool bar
----- Press the "paste" button that appears on the bottom right of the window
----- There will now appear a new file " default - Copy.xml "
( Basically just make a bkup copy ofr thte default.xml file in the same folder)
4: Edit " default.xml file
----- Press and hold on the " default.xml " file name to highlight it
----- Press the root explorer setting button in the upper right corner of the window. Its 3 vertical dots
----- Press " Open in Text Editor " button This will open the default.xml file
----- scroll down near the bottom of the file (about 7/8 of the way.) To help locate it will come very soon after a section that has lines:
<int.0,/int>
<int.1,/int>
<int.2,/int>
all the way to 33 and then a couple shorter runs of similar lines. After about another 15-16 lines you will see a line with " tethering " one it. Now you are there.
----- the specific section is: (holding phone in landscape mode will show it as listed below for data on each line)
<app name=Tethering provision"><item type="integer" name="CustomizeCarrierDialogType">0</item>
<item type="integer" name="TetheringGuard_Rule">4</item
The bold line is the one you will edit. Change the " 4 " or whatever number is there with a " 0 "
----- Now scroll all the way to the bottom of the file. Now scroll up till you find section:
,app name="Wi-Fi Hotspot"><item type="integer" name="hotspot_rule">1</item
<item type="boolean" name="show_passphase">false</item>
<item type="boolean" name="support_showpassword">false</item>
Its right below a " weather " section and above a " wolrdclock " section
The bold line is again the one to edit. Change the " 1" to a " 0 "
------ Press the root explorer setting button again in the upper right corner of the window. Its 3 vertical dots. Choose " Save and Exit "
5 Confirm default.xml permissions
----- As a precaution we want to confirm no changes to the file permissions has occured.
----- Press and hold on the " default.xml " file name to highlight it
----- Press the root explorer setting button again in the upper right corner of the window. Its 3 vertical dots. Choose " Permissions "
----- To the right of the "ENTER OCTAL" button you should see permissions " 0644 rw-r-r- "
----- If all is correct, close root explorer and reboot phone.
6. Confirm Hotspot is functional
----- Go to " Settting " on phone and click on " Mobile Hotspot and Tethering "
----- Turn on via the slider. You should now get the setup procedure and no warning or message to contact Verizon. Choose a SSID name and passphrase for your hotspot .
Finish and test. Hotspot should be working
Note:
There is no reason I could see for adding a line to the build.prop file a few instructions state to do i`f all that is desired is fully functioning hotspot tethering. Everything works without any other changes. There are of course many other tweaks that require build.prop file edits and or additions just not for hotspot function.
