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,
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.
Using the latest AOKP from TASK and KToonesz, but I am not able to use the screen shot function. Am I missing something here? Before I had to only hold down the home button and power for the function.
Thank you for your help in any way.
Power + Volume down

You need to enable it in ROM control. Menu> settings> ROM control > power menu > screenshot. You can also set it as a shortcut if you use the nav bar
Edit: I'm sorry. Are you looking for just the quick method of screenshot or any working method? Because you can just hold power like you were shutting down the phone after enabling it in ROM control.

Is there any app or mod I can use to lock/unlock my phone by pressing and holding the back button down. I really don't like reaching all the way to the top for the power button and I feel as if this would be easier.
Thanks!

Have you tried a custom kernel with the swipe to sleep? I personally use double tap the bottom of the screen to wake and then I have a widget on the home screen that sleeps the phone. I find this more convenient than the swipe to sleep/wake mod (but with a custom kernel you can try both out)
My work around is using swipe gestures in ADW launcher and an app called Screen Off, which allows you to lock your phone using various transition effects. I just sent up swipe on my home screen to Screen Off.

So from what I've read the kernels to HTC button sleep / wake do not work for Verizon =( are there any mods or apps for vzw that allow us to put our phone to sleep without reaching for the power button? I've seen the button on the quick setting but any others?

I believe there is a kernel that we can use with AOSP roms. If you look into the Mokee thread, it's in there.
If you look in the OP it's towards the bottom...I think it's called daavviskernal. Here's the link:
