If you Open up the launcher... Go to the App called "Spare Parts". There you can change the "End Button" our "Power Button" once tapped, to go back to the Home screen.

Awesome, thanks so much for that tidbit. Off to change my buttons! lol

Edit - Hmmm still not working. Changed to default to Home but still doesn't do anything

Edit2 - Looks like it affects the Power button for sprint phones, which is still better than having to use volume down I guess

Yes I forgot to mention I was on Sprint. So I dont know how it will affect Verizon and others.

Also does the touch screen go out on anybodys phone when you let it sit for like a minute? Mine does, and it locks itself so i cant unlock it.

I don't know if it's the same for the Sprint version, but when I was playing with it I noticed that the screen wasn't responding to my touch when I was trying to unlock it either, but then I figured out that if you press the top button (power for the Sprint version, back light off for Verizon) it unlocks the screen and you're able to use the screen again.

Yeah basically it's trying to turn off the screen but can't, so you have to "turn it back on" to enable touch on the screen again. We have a long way to go but I'm still pretty pumped given how fast this is already.

Now to just implement Sense UI, lol

Yeah. You have to press it again.

It almost acts like a screen lock on my Verizon version.

Press in once and the screen doesn't respond, but if you press it again it works fine.

I definitely need to play around with the button mapping.

Edit: and if I press and hold down on the top button I get a screen with ringer profiles and an option to turn the phone off. It never actually turns off for me though. It starts to, but then it just hangs.
