Disable home button wake w/o root

Is there a way to disable home button wake without being rooted?
I've tried searching everywhere, but all of them are for root users only. Just trying to see if there is a way.

Thanks.

Not unless you want to take your phone apart and remove the switch underneath the button or otherwise physically break the phone. Just curious, why would you want home to not be home?

why do you want to disable it? The only problem with home button wake is that it changes
the screen to the home screen, regardless of whatever app/screen you were on. This can
be easily solved. Just go into S-Voice settings and let the home button activate S-Voice.

I don't know if this only happens to me, but the home button sometimes bypasses my password lock screen somehow.

I reported that flaw to Samsung a months ago and got no reply.

Someone else posted the exact problem here and got banned.... :( It's quite easy to do, but I can't post it... obviously.

because often i take my phone out of pocket and it is burning hot because assumedly the display has been on because the buttons were getting pushed in there. making it more difficult to push them via a case would help but I don't like having a case. phone can barely fit in my pocket as it is.

or if I could disable the home button somehow when asleep that would be one less button to worry about accidentally getting pushed. Enabling home button as S-Voice wouldn't really solve this.
