sometime during or after installing go launcher/weather/keyboard apps my power button will still switch of screen but no longer locks it and home button wont minimize apps or return to home screen anymore, any ideas on how to fix? id prefer not uninstall anything but if i have to i will....i miss switching between apps whilst they are still running. i tryed switching back to default keyboard.. im about to google screen lock, will update thread if i find any answers
 
Unfortunately there is not a lot I can advise other than uninstalling this application as it appears as if it has somehow remapped the key. I will see if I can replicate this here.
 
I experienced a similar problem the other day after I had been flashing stuff....ended up reverting back to WB v3.5, did all my restorations and tweaks/mods there and confirmed everything worked and then flashed v6 over it since it doesn't wipe data. It's been all good ever since.

Download a screen lock.

Or remove Go Launcher and install ADW launcher (even temporarily....then change it back)
