Samsung Home Button Not Working

I'll try this later, thanks These will work for any device right?

Yeah, they just contain the main Google Apps that are DPI changeable, so that they work with any device.

Okay, just wanted to make sure

Why clear the cache so many times? Should only have to do it once.

On my phone, I had (and sometimes still have) the same problem, and the ONLY way I could get it to work is following those exact steps. If I didn't wipe cache and dalvik, it wouldn't work!

@Xerox - tried the instructions you posted and it still won't work

Hmmm.....

So it works FINE on the stock ROM, but as soon as you install a custom ROM, it starts to go funky... Try this

1. Backup ROM
2. Wipe Data
3. Wipe System
4. Wipe Cache
5. Install ROM
6. Reboot

Does the button work now? If not, it may be a ROM fault. Install that kernel again. Does it work now?
If it does, then try this.

1. Backup ROM
2. Wipe Data
3. Wipe System
4. Wipe Cache
5. Wipe Dalvik
6. Flash ROM
7. Fix Permissions
8. Wipe Cache and Dalvik
9. Flash Google Apps
10. Reboot see if button is working if not
11. Reboot to Recovery
12. Wipe Cache and Dalvik (it would have been built in the reboot)
13. Flash Google Apps
14. Fix Permissions

This is another way I got mine to work, but it only worked twice... Unlike the other, that always works.

It won't work unless I have that kernel installed x.x

I even tried flashing different ROMs and still have the problem.

Must be something to do with your phone. I guess you could take it in to the carrier store (restore it to stock) and say "My home button is selective when I press it, sometimes it will work, and sometimes it won't." They should give you a new one.

Looks like it. :/

This is the kernel I have to use. I wouldn't really mind using that kernel, but the battery life is meh
