Disable Home button in Android 4.0+

Question

I\'m trying to replace the stock lock screen with my own app.
In my code, i want to disable the Home button.
I know how to do this in Android 2.3 and below,
but

Answer 1

Mucking with the home button is disabled for security/reliability reasons in ICS. (Most apps use it for evil than good)

Please refer to the following questions for workarounds.

2. override Home key in android ICS
3. Disable Home Button in Android ICS (4.0)

Seems like the only way is to implement a home screen
