App to activate screen?

The power button on my wife's HTC Desire is faulty and becomes unresponsive at times.
When this happens, it means sge cannot get access to the phone unless she either plugs in/unplugs charger, receives a call or removes/reinserts battery (phone will power up automatically when button playing up)
Phone is out of warranty and cannot get repaired right now, so what i want to know is, does anyone know of an app that can be installed that could set other buttons on the phone to activate screen when screen is off?
Any advice would be appreciated

Widgetlocker app does this on unrooted phones
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

Thank you all for your responses, i have installed widgetlocker (on desire and my own galaxy s).
on the initial start up it does advise to go unto settings to be able to set any hardware key to activate screen. But i cannot find the settings :-\ the menu icon only locks the screen as does the icon in status bar.
Can you please help me find the settings?

Open widgetlocker from your app draw. This will cause the lockscreen to appear but is actually 'tool mode'.
Now press your menu button > settings > buttons and inputs > check Easy Wake. Done.

Cannot believe i didn't try the menu button! D'oh!!! lol
But all sorted, my wife is a happy bunny now, many thanks :-D

Honeycomb lockscreen!

hey guys i found this fooling around on the market thought you might like it:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen_free&feature=search_result
works on any android device pretty much!

Ehhh, not really a fan of having ads on my lock screen. Won't buy it until I can see that the dev will support it.
Would love to have the honeycomb lock screen, but I'm willing to wait for it to be baked in once google lets the source go.

Good lookin out! I've been wanting this forever! Freakin sweet as an apk. The ads kinda suck but its super clean.

Works really well. Ads suck tho lol

Sounds cool. For those that use Adfree, does it remove the ads? LOL
banging on fools from my HTC Troll

agreed with the ads sucking lol
havent tried ads free it may work

Also curious if anyone will notice any negative effect on battery life.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2

Adfree works with this, though you'll have to reboot after turning it on. Other than that, works great with CM7 nightly 95 with the stock lockscreen disabled. No noticable battery issues yet either.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

yup with no ads on and disabled lockscreen and after a couple of days i can say it does no drain battery and its working great!

I really like the unlock screen I can say adfree does 100% work on removing the adds. I have found that you have to put it on the ignore list with task killers otherwise when u use the task killer it turns that lockscreen off. It was working great for a day or so but now both stock lock screen and new lock screen come up so I have to unlock it twice, does anyone know how to remedy this? I would like this intergraded into the rom or a zip file you could flash, could someone do that? I'm running cm nightly 99

Go into the tablet tweaks section of the cm settings menu and turn off the lockscreen. That'll fix your double lockscreen problem.
The added bonus with that fix is that you'll have full access to the notifications pulldown before you unlock your device. Really useful for checking messages and using the lockscreen toggles.

If you want to get rid of the ads, download adfree from the market and hey presto no more ads

I bought it to support the dev, more people that buy it the more inclined he is to keep supporting it.

[Q] Anyone Else GetThis Weird Glitch Using Dolphin HD?

Normal black lockscreen. I open Dolphin to a webpage and hit the power button. Now on my lockscreen I have the settings dots showing through. Anyone else?

That's not a Glitch,Almost all apps have that function,It's so you can jump right back to what you were doing,as soon as you tap it,it will unlock the screen & bring you into your current app

No ****? I don't use a lot of Apps. The only one installed currently is Dolphin on my GN. Neat feature.

it actually is a glitch/bug.
normally the menu buttons should be hidden when you lock the screen, but due to a bug, they don't.
there is no reason for them to be there, as a simple unlock of the screen brings you back.
so this is a bug/glitch and hopefully it will be fixed.

One for and one against. Anyone care to be the tie breaker?

remove stock lock screen?

Hey guys,
Is there a way to remove the stock lock screen from my phone? It's a completely stock GS2. I'm planning to root in the next few days, so if that's necessary I'm ok with it. I just HATE the stock lock and want to use widget locker. Unfortunately, when I simply install widget locker over the top, I end up with a redundant lock and have to swipe twice.
Any advice?

Try go locker app

I already know what lockscreen I want to use. I just need to get rid of the stock one.

When you say you have "redundant" lockscreens, do you mean that WidgetLocker comes up, followed by your security lockscreen, or are you not using any sort of password?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

He's talking about the static image that you swipe that unlocks the phone. I installed Go Locker and it gets rid of that except for the 1st time you power the phone on.

Install NO Lock from the market open it click disable. Then install whichever lock apparently you want and run it.

Install the Juggernaut rom and you can pick from a few different lock screens. I haven't seen the stock lock screen since I installed Juggernaut a month ago.

Correct, widgetlocker comes up, then the stock galaxy lockscreen, so I have to swipe twice.

Thanks, I'll try it again. I installed no-lock, and it just removed widget locker, but it didn't even do that reliably, lol. I'll uninstall WL, run no-lock, and then reinstall and hopefully that will work.

Thanks for the recommendation. When I'm ready to go the custom rom route, I'll check Juggernaut out. I don't know why I'm hesitating about flashing, because I've rooted and ROM'd my last 4 android phones, but for whatever reason, I'm not in a big hurry to root my GS2. Other than the lockscreen, I'm pretty happy with it completely stock.

It appears as though installing no-lock and disabling the lock screen, THEN installing your secondary lock works. I've rebooted a couple times and still get the stock lock on launch (which makes sense, since both no-lock and widget locker are started after boot), but haven't seen it since then.

Solution posted above did not help me. I have installed No Lock, disabled lock screen, then installed Go Locker but even so there is sometimes situation when both screens appear - annoying! What do you recommend?

Try MiLocker which is like the MIUI locker. Used it on my G2 and it worked perfectly. I like the static lock on the SGSS2 so that's why I haven't gone back to using it. Its worth a shot and they have tons of different lock screens

*#7594# It does disable the stock screen lock for Samsung Galaxy Epic 4G Touch (Sprint) and also works for Samsung Galaxy Attain (MetroPCS)., I just tried it does not works on our Phone....

alternative lockscreen app that isn't bugged?

Hi everyone I've tried all alternative lockscreen apps on the market but they all share the same annoying bug : if I unlock sliding on a shortcut e. g. whatsapp. once I press back to quit the app and (logically) going to my home screen, it goes back to the app that locks my phone and locks it again. this is not really functional. all I was looking for was a way to have different wallpapers for both home screen and lockscreen. tired of having the same one for both. suggestions?

It's not a bug, it's programmed that way.

App called widgetlocker can do what you want.
