Hey,
Is it possible to remap the HTC Desire trackpad to a way that it wakes the device when it is double pressed à la the iphone/itouch, which is then bringing up the music controls? since android already has the music controls on the lockscreen just the wake action would be sufficient...
i hope someone has any ideas!
Wake on Trackpad is already available for lot of custom ROMs. I use with it with MCR8.
However, it's a single press, not a double press.
Regards,
Dave

I apologize if this is a repeat or an obvious question, but...
Has anyone had any success remapping the volume buttons to be page up/page down or simply up/down for any purpose? I'm specifically thinking of eBook readers that require tapping or swiping the screen currently to flip pages. But also perhaps browsers as well.
We saw this on WinMo devices back in the day, but I've never seen it on Android. Is it impossible, difficult, or simply not in demand?
Would appreciate any insight, and thanks for all you do.
I'm thinking an app would be able to hook the volume keys, and override their functionality.
But it would not be so easy to hook that functionality from outside the app you want to affect. You could also remap the volume keys to page up/down, assuming you have root.
Don't know about global remapping, but apps often do it themselves. For example Dolphin Browser HD has settings to scroll the page with vol up/down.

Thank you!
Is there a built-in page up/page down function to which they could be mapped?
It would be more useful to make it either application-specific or a global app to grab them based on which app was running, but remapping might be worth it.
I'd love to see an app that would use the volume buttons as a physical camera shutter button. So much better than an onscreen button.

Thank you so much for the help! That's halfway to solving all my problems!
Page up/page down on a browser would be great as well, but I'm very glad to have this.
Thanks again!
hi guys wonder does any one know off an app that can launch the home screen other than using the power button all the time i would prefer a long push on 1 off the soft keys if poss , any replies welcome
Some screenlockers (as example advanced lock if I remember right) do not lock home button, but I don't know if It's what you're looking for.
I use widgetlocker which allows to turn on the phone using volume buttons, way easier than power button (imho ).

Hi, Would it be possible to create a mod to remove the software menu button in apps and set long pressing task switcher button as a menu button.
The menu button looks ugly in alot of apps and wastes screen space. Diceplayer, youtube, opera browser and alot of other apps and games which I think probably will never have the menu button removed.
It's just really offputting to watch a 16:9 video that is only compatible with diceplayer to have black borders just because the menu button is making the screen smaller.

I think there isn't a single soul that won't agree with your sugestion.

I'm with you.

Guys the only way this will happen is if enough people ask HTC to do this.

Yours truly.
Would it even be possible to remap the hardware keys in a custom ROM? Because if yes, it would be great to make the task switcher button the menu button and make ling press home the task switcher .

I think it's apps developer that needs to have a fixed for this issue more than HTC. I've already emailed a couple of them to get their attention.
App developers must understand hardware buttons are here to stay. Looking at xperia s, the only reason it doesn't have the issue is because it used menu as physical button instead of the multitask button. Otherwise we will also see the same issue there.
Btw, on xperia s, long-pressing of home button to show multitask will be pain slow compared to using the physical multitask button like we have in one X.

Hi,
Is there any app to unlock the screen of HTC droid Incredible 2? To unlock the screen every time I have to push the power button, which I fear it may spoil the button. So, guys please suggest me any other way to unlock my phone (HTC droid Incredible 2) screen.
Most Roms usually have options to use the volume keys to unlock the phone. Its normally found in the tweaks or rom features via the settings menu.

^^This.
And you do know that that is the reason the power button is there, right? It's kinda like saying you don't wanna use the door to your house, and use the window instead because you don't want to wear out the door.

Well, having only one entry to house is very dangerous, you should also have a backup door: Just kidding

i believe widget locker has that option to unlock by the volume keys also there is a mod you can flash to the same.
you can also install mi locker wich gives you a bunch of different locks from miui alone with the option to unlock the phone by the volume keys

Thanks for your support. I tried MiLocker, it is good but has lot of bugs. Can you suggest any other locker which unlocks when pressing music keys?
Widget locker the only bad thing is that is a paid app there is also a no lock app. I'll look for the link and repost it

wouldn't pressing the volume keys all the time ruin the volume keys?

Guys I installed this app "Tap Tap App". You can lock and unlock your phone with the sensor. It is working properly.

I can code the wake on volume keys MOD to ANY ROM, PM me if you need this..
Personally I can't run a ROM without this MOD, it's much easier for me to use the volume keys, and i use a widget to lock the phone, so i never even touch the power button.

is there any ways to unlock screen by the touch key ? ^^, i want to use all key to save all of them ^^
The app "No Lock" gets rid of your lock screen completely, so all you need to do is press the power button or a volume button if your ROM will let you. It is pretty cool, and should work without being rooted.
Hi,
I would like to say that I know almost nothing about ROMs and creating them.
Recently, few new phones like for ex. HTC One (M8) launched with this cool gestures to wake up your phone. Double tap to wake, tap in the landscape mode to go into camera etc.
I am just wondering if it is possible to port such features into GNex ROM?
Thank you in advance for your answers,
Cheers,
Marcin
A lot of kernels have a double tap or swipe to wake option.

I wasn't aware.
Thank you!
Already got it working.
Gotta love HTC/lg claiming it's a NEW feature when PGM 2 AKA Touch control app does most of these gestures AND has been around for ~2 years.
LOL
Eg.
I set it to double tap or swipe up to wake up the screen, you can also enable it turn off the screen by swiping from left to right on the bottom of the screen, but I prefer assigning pie controls to do this, since often times it would accidentally turn off while gaming.

I can see right now, but I haven't seen it in any ROM I was using in the past, so I thought it is not avaiable yet :silly:
I need to start paying more attention to my kernel capabilities!
