Hi,
Is there a way to unlock the screen only by pressing twice on the trackball button?
Ty
I've wanted this exact thing since day one. Now we have root i'm pretty sure some dev can come up with it there just needs to be a high enough demand!
Write access on /system is not required for this ?
instead of pressing the trackball twice you can just click menu
or do you mean twice from when the screen is turned off?
I mean, sreen off -> press trackball twice = screen on unlocked
Can be done with the cyanogen rom for desire
Waking up the screen by ANY of the four HWbuttons would be nice. I remember the Dream, waking by pressing 'menu'.. aah those good ol' days.
Yeah but i think that would cause it to unlock when i have it in my jeans pocket or anything like that. Trackpad to wake is perfect. I'm using The Nex-Desire rom and it has this option.

I couldn't find this app on the Market - did you mean "No Lock"? That seems to do what the OP wants, although it only requires pressing a hardware button once to turn screen on, as the lock is effectively disabled.
This looks easy to be done yet there is no answer...
Confirm, its the "no lock" app. Its free, and leaves your htc like an iphone..

Well when you want to use the phone you have to press the power button first right? Then slide to unlock.
Is it possible to remap the button to switch screen on from the power button to say...clicking the trackpad? A native way or an app i don't mind. Just seems strange to reach to the top of the phone and i have pretty big hands, it's no problem just me being me i guess.
Download keyguard disabler, then you will be able to turn on the screen with any of the bottom buttons.
Though pressing trackpad seems best as others invoke some kind of action.

the nexus one trackpad has been remapped to wake up the screen, ... but *i think* it has to be rooted first.

Oh that's a shame! Yeah i think any key would cause me to make mistaks while it is in my pocket that's why i would like the trackpad.
I'll live in hope!
Well it was recommended an app called flyscreen but that turned out to be a full lock screen replacement. Not really what I want!
I don't want to give up on this it's my only gripe lol. Anyone any ideas? Or help? Nothing from the Nexus One?
We may have to wait till it's rooted before we get this feature
How about just locking the screen rather than turn it off?

Great way to drain your battery really fast...
If Paul from Modaco gets his Desire it could be rooted very soon. Let's hope so and i want this feature first lol.
Why does HTC DESIRE locks screen and i need to click on POWER ON again?
And also for ALARM it needs to be powered on?
nobody can help?
What help would you like? It is indeed the way that the phone works

Since if it doesn't lock screen, you would complain at it answering calls while is in your pocket, and similar situations
For alarm it turns on itself (just like when you're receiving a call) and gives you option to dismiss the alarm or snooze it (pull down to dismiss, like when you unlock it... or click if you want to snooze).
Well it kinda sux, don't you think?
Anonying always to pull down and turn on power on everyt time...grrrrrr......
Got to disagree, it would suck much more if the touchscreen didn't lock. Never seen a touchscreen phone that didn't lock the screen, for very obvious reasons!
is there any possibility at all to unlock screen without pressing on power button?

i typed unlock screen....why don't you look at the 5th post ???????????
thanks will look into it.
as for the phone being on for the alarm , It's fine... put my phone on airplane mode .. charge it over night .. fab!!!!!!
Back in WinMo days I was so happy that i could disable lock screen because I find it very annoying, I really don't need it.
So I was wondering is it possible that when I press power on button that it automatically goes to home screen without need to unlock it first?
I have found few mods for that, but whatever mod(or app) I applied it would also enable power on by trackball or any other hw key(menu, home..) what I don't want since I can accidently press those keys in pocket and than my battery will drain usless!
I have found the mod I need, but it is for EVO 4G, maybe it needs little modification so that it can be applied to our Desire?
on some ROM's you get the optionj where you unlock via power button.. and for the lock screen you can just use Menu button.. I use it.. and very easy, better than the vanilla lock screen
hope this helps!
try searching for No Lock in the market. works dandy for me.
yea same, go with no lock, also has a handy widget

Not working
Is there either an app to completely eliminate the lock screen?
I'm running CM and there is an option to unlock by pressing Power>Menu or through gestures but either way that's an additional step - just like my rotary unlock.
There's an app in Market called No Lock that does the same thing.
What I want is just press Power and I'm at the home screen. No 2nd buttons, no Menu button, no sliding, no gestures.
And since I know this question will come up, no I'm not concerned about dialing or anything else, capacitive buttons/screen, remember?
Plus I have a case that bevels over the Power and Volume buttons so... yeah...
Thanks!

Hey man, its already built into CM. One of the options for the Notification Power Widgets is to Toggle the Lockscreen. Just set Toggle Lockscreen as one of your widgets in the CM settings, and click it and you can completely turn your lockscreen on and off.

Wow, how'd I miss that..?
But I see it allows you to turn the phone on w/ the volume buttons too... That's not good b/c I usually switch tracks w/ the volume buttons when the phone is in my pocket or when I'm driving - especially when I'm driving.
Any way to only let the power button turn the phone on?

I'm sure that you know this as you are a much more senior member but unrevoked will take care of that for you.
I used 3 on mine with the same hardware and hboot and it worked like a charm.
there is an app called No Lock that will do this for you.
No Lock works great...

Ye.. I said in the OP that I know about No Lock. The problem with no lock is that, just like the CM no lock option, it allows the phone to be woken up by the volume buttons too. Something that's a major deal beaker for me.

Auto Unlock. Only the power button wakes the phone. Sometimes, you will see the lock screen flash on before it's dismissed.

Not sure if this is a bug, but I noticed that if you are running an app that has a "..." menu button at the bottom (next to the app switch/task manager button) and you press the power button to lock the phone, next time you unlock it the menu button will still be there. Pressing it takes you to the application you were in before.
It only works for apps that have the menu button at the bottom. I tried other more secure locks and the menu button still appears, but pressing it does nothing.
Oh no.. first the face unlock fiasco and now this..
Worst security ever!

I don't see why face unlock would be a fiasco ... ?
And this may be a bug, but it's not a security issue.
I've tried it, but doesn't happen for me. Running a custom rom though.

You can pull down the notification bar as well...
I don't think anyone could argue that slide-to-unlock is a secure option anyway at all.

I think thats a feature.
Yes, but pulling down the notification bar does not allow you to unlock the phone. The settings button is disabled.
I'm not saying its a problem, just something odd...
The MoDaCo rom removes this feature/issue.

I don't think that slide to unlock is a security option. If you really want to have the phone blocked put a pin code or a slide pattern.
But it's true that maybe this option souldn't be posible. The notificaction bar can be displayed but not presed to enter the phone.
I'm with the autor of the post. This souldn't happen.

Actually, if you have a notification, you can pull down the notification bar and click the notification and it will work just like it would if slide to unlock first.
As stated by someone else, slide to unlock is only for butt dial protection, not security.

Yeh I was just kidding lol.
Sounds like a feature to me. Damn convenient.
This is not an issue. If you want security use pin, pattern, or face unlock. How is just having slide unlock considered security? It isn't.
And before people bemoan face unlock, who the hell is going to have a big picture of you to fool face unlock AND know the phone is yours except people you know. If you need to protect your phone from people you know or are uncomfortable with it, use a pin or pattern.

It does? I'm running MCR and the ADW menu button still shows up..
But like someone said, with slide to unlock does it really matter? It's not very hard to slide to unlock anyways.. now if it was slide to unlock AND it had a password unlock it would be different..
I'm not really concerned with the security side, however I am concerned with the practicality of it. I often accidentally push buttons on my phone when both my hands and phone are in my pocket, and because of this button it often unlocks and I end up ringing someone or sending them a text full of random characters. Quite annoying.
If you click on a notification it goes into the app. I actually find this quite convenient, I can get right into the app without sliding my finger.

If you "exit" (go to the homescreen) said app, then lock the phone the menu button won't pop up.

Not valid with ADW launcher ... or any launcher which still uses the legacy menu button.
Its a feature...and i like it. Quick access to last opened app. Why would this be a problem if you dont set a security code. Its a welcomed feature imo.
