Are you saying that CM already does this, or they will incorporate this feature? To my knowledge this is a brand new feature introduced with this modded kernel.
Though I use a N1 which has a trackball, this would still be pretty sweet.
I'm assuming this feature is very much possible, but it would be a battery hog since the sensors would have to be on at all times versus only coming on once you wake the phone with the power button.

Yeh I can see where the battery life comes into play.
But hey it could be an option, say for someone who's power button is broken (N1 users know what I mean by this).

I was an N1 user so I know exactly what you mean. The other option that Team Kang offers is VOLUME ROCKER wake. You can use the Volume Rockers to wake the phone.

Alright so im no developer, so this is why im offering this idea up.
Personally, im starting to hate Android...Im having some serious webOS envy. I know I know, just switch, or blah blah blah. I love the whole gesture based UI. So I was wondering..on the Inc the capacitive touch layer of the screen extends down to right around the bottom of the home-menu-back-search keys. (You can see by downloading some multi-touch tester and dragging your finger down there, it will read that your Y-Position is something like 820 or something.) So right above the trackpad in the middle of the soft keys is a blank spot. Would it be possible for you to change that so there is some sort of invisible soft button, that when you swipe up or tap it launches a user specific app? I would probably put some sort of app-switcher there, or well I dont actually know. But if this is possible, it would be really freaking awesome imho. Thoughts?
have you tried using adw or launcherpro...they have gesture ui, and you can change them also...ie, cm6. sense doesn't that I know of.

Cm6 has lockscreen gestures. Haven't looked into them myself but may be a place to look...
I know those launchers have gestures but what I mean is a new soft key in the middle if the menu and back key

I remember on stock 2.1 this invisible button did something in certain apps, I can't remember what it was though.
i see what youre saying and i think itd be pretty sweet. just to have another soft button to launch messaging or something. i'd love this in a rom

Why not remap the trackpad?
I understand maybe a invisible button could be cool, but its useless. So is the track pad, but the trackpad can be remapped
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Well what if u made it to where swypeing left or right or down or up on the optical joystick opened apps of your choice while on the homescreen... or is that what were already talking about?
Well the track pad is not use less. I use it on a normal basis. Maybe for you having an invisible button would be use less but for me it would not. To each their own.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
No that's not what I was thinking of, rather the area above the track pad. That's a good half inch Of wasted space.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Oh I see, yea that is a good idea, yea I'd like to see that
The question is, what applications would you match to that area?

anyway, i didnt realize how much i would miss it until yesterday when i was trying to quickly take pictures... any way to set the power button as the shutter?

That would be a VERY useful hack! Except the power key is on the left in landscape mode.

Vol up would work better imo, I think one of the roms has it. I think starburst.

Bump....................................
ok i just pulled camera apk from starburst rom and pushed it to system/app with root explorer and now the volume button acts as shutter button!
I know I can use the front facing camera to take a self portrait but the picture quality is not very great. Is there anyway I could make the power button double as the physical camera button with having the phone got into power down mode. I search the forum and yet to find decent alternative
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
if you look again in development there is an aio mod that makes the volume rocker the button. and you zoom in by pinch.
This camera mod works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284486
I have to be rooted I assume
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
UnNamed ROM that I'm using lets you use the volume rocker. Lots of other great features, I'd highly recommend it.

I'm going have to check that out. Just got this phone the other day so I'm just root and leave roms alone for a min. I am going install that 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.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
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

I totally forgot about this method until last night when I remembered back to the announcement of the gnex and how they'd be incorporating screen caps stock. So glad I don't have to use those weak 3rd party apps any longer.
This method is hit and miss for me but at least there is a native way to take one! Thank you for your hello!

User error... Its really easy to do lol. Hitting 2 buttons at once isn't too hard .
You have to hold them for a second . Not tap and release
I usually press power before press volume down. It works 100%!
