[REQ] Hard Buttons for lights in CWM - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Would it be possible to manipulate the action buttons to stay lit up while we're in CWM? It's difficult to see the buttons while in CWM and if we could get them to do an always on I think that would absolutely ROCK. Any thoughts?
Regards,
rast4man

Oops about posting in the wrong section, I guess I should have put it in the general thread.
I do use the rocker and it doesn't light up the action buttons on the bottom while I'm in CWM.
MODS- Could you please move this to General. TIA

I ment like use the sleep/power button to make a selection

Did u know that our latest cwm doesnt use power button for selections? Home button does. So yeah i agree with op

Yeah...+1 on using the capacitive buttons to move and select.

FYI - Hate to keep a thread going in wrong section but if you guys use the vol up key and press it several times... some say 20+ but I did not have to do it that long it will activate the power button. This will eliminate the need for using the capacitive buttons.. This is in the newest CWM I think its .7

Indeed. Aside from the boot combinations that's about it.
Epic-ly tapped from my Galaxy SII
Hold search button for voice commands.
Now we're done
well if were gonna go there, hold home for recent apps
and i wish holding back would kill current app like in MIUI
Menu key opens menu (in apps that support it).
The volume rocker obviously controls the volume... And if you hold the volume down it puts your phone on silent with vibration.
Lol... Now were done here.

Home brings you to the home screen when in an app.

volume up and power until phone turns off and go into recovery
volume down and power until phone turns off and go into odin

Some ROMs allow for holding volume buttons to change tracks. I think we're done now ;p

heres a hidden one...tapping the power button turns the screen off. techwire news just announced a juicy little tip, tapping power button one time while screen is off will actually turn it back on thought id pass these new tricks on.

Well, if you're going to get into the soft keys, holding Home brings up recently used apps and task manager. hold the search brings up an app selection including Sound hound if you have it installed.

Does anyone know if there is a way to manually assign something to a long menu press on stock? I know you can do it with CM7, but I haven't found anything for TouchWiz.
If your phone is on and you have cwm installed you can press and hold the power and volume buttons together and it will take you straight to recovery.

[Q] Broken Power button, any way to fix or mod?

So i dropped my Epic 4g on the stairs, and it landed directly on the power button. The button no longer works. If someone knows how to fix this, I would LOVE details. If it is not possible, can any of the devs cook up a mod to make my phone boot as soon as the charger is connected? Any feedback is appreciated.

Do you know if its just the plastic button or is it broken more towards the motherboard? Also I'm not sure of any dev who would know how to change the power on to the charger input.

Do u have any way to turn it on? At least to get to cwm? Cuz if u can and flash cm7 it has an option to turn another button into the power button.

more towards the mother board. I opened it up, removed the plastic button, and used a small screwdriver to press the actual button. No dice

I can turn it on (oddly enough rapidly inserting and removing the power cord tricks it into turning on) and yes I can get into clockwork mod. I already user cyanogen mod 7. Where is this setting? I already changed the "volume rocker wake" setting. If there another one to remap the keys?

No I think you got the one that was in my mind. I'm on the peoples rom now so I can't really go and check to make sure but its the setting that makes the phone turn on by the volume key I'm guessing? So maybe you have the one I was thinking about? What other use do you need the power button for at the moment? Order a replacement and just flash the FC09 tar before giving it in. Say that u don't know what's wrong but it won't turn on lol.

Well if your power button doesn't work then Odin isn't a possibility. But if you can get into download mode then Odin to stock and turning it into the nearest sprint store would be your best bet....
Widget locker can do it

I have no passcode on my phone and when I slide the keyboard the screen turns on and I just swipe it to unlock. Or you can use your insurance and get it replaced for $100.

Put the button back in, odin to el30, remove sd card and bring it to sprint. That's your best option.

If he could odin than he can turn on the phone hence no need for this thread but that's not the case. Honestly just go pay the money and have sprint give you another phone and say you lost it. Its the same cost even if you give them the phone I've done it before for people who wanted my epic for cricket and with the additional cash I payed for the issurance. Your paying for insurance use it.

I can deal with it until June. Then everyone on the house upgrades but me. I'll take my older sisters epic 4g and use my parents HTC EVO's as mp3 players. Or whatever the hell music format I so damn choose player as my audiophile friend refers to Android phones (he's kinda a fan). But thanks for the help guys. Looks like it's a waiting game

Quickboot from Play has a flash to recovery option.
I'm on CM10 (nightly 9/28) and recently my power button broke.
I found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27334251&postcount=6
Menu - Settings - Display - (scroll down to Wakeup Options and check Volume rocker wake)... but it doesn't wake it from a deep sleep. Anyone have any ideas?
Slide the keyboard open and close it. That should turn the screen on

Is it possible to disable the menu and back button and install software key buttons like the nexus?

I just turned off the lights so I can't see them. And with AOKP or paranoid android they have the option for soft keys. Its nice because you can add a search key. I really missed that.

Yeah I've had the evo, the evo 3d and the epic 4g touch... They have always had the search key, was pissed that all the new phones have gone away from it

If you edit the key layout after applying the on-screen 'buttons', you should be able to disable them.
I'm running the LIH leak with the navigation buttons.

On-screen buttons harder to press than screen

Ok, I've been having this problem for a while now. I thought it would go away after I flash a couple of ROMs but it never did . My on-screen buttons are harder to press than my actual screen any suggestions ?

Even i feel same at times, mainly cos the touch sensitive (or areas which count as hit for the button) is very less, ans should be increased..
Well I would think they should be the same since the buttons are on the physical screen itself
