ICS Rom With Volume Wake - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I need a ics rom that has the volume button wake on it because my power button has recently got very hard to press. I am currently on the darkside 3 beta ics rom if that helps or if you could point me in the direction of an add on. Thanks!!

Wow almost 100 views and still no answer.. my my

You could always use the destruction guide below to pull the phone apart and see what's causing your power button woes...

That said, I imagine once official ICS rolls out of TMo corp the T989 Devs will wake back up and start cooking custom ROMs based on it. Am betting one of these ROM's will have volume wake.
...Also, you could RMA the phone... Just a though.

[ROM] Nytefire-MIUI-Gingerbread-1.4.29

Nytefire MIUI Gingerbread 1.4.29
-------------------------------------------------------
Hello all, this is my first attempt at a ROM. I usually downloaded option's work and flashed it, but I didn't feel like waiting this time. :] If anyone wants to give it a shot, I've flashed it now on three separate myTouch 4Gs without any problems. Of course, if you run into any problems, brick your device, or otherwise cause some type of calamity in your mobile world - this is no fault of mine.
For a list of changes from the previous build, check the MIUI website.
This ROM contains the latest Desire Z port of MIUI as well as the Langage Pack.
I've also included Faux123's GB kernel 2.5.2-137 LV kernel. If anyone has trouble with the LV kernel, feel free to flash over the SV version immediately after ROM flash. I'm afraid I can't do much bug fixing if there is any to be done - as this is all taken care of by the MIUI team. I've simply ported over their latest build for everyone to enjoy. If there's anything I need to change for the Glacier, let me know. :]
Edit:
I suggest doing wipes as you had been doing previously with Option's MIUI builds.
Thanks,
Nytefire

Been waiting for this to drop, thanks
wheeeeee more ROM chefs
Variety is the spice of life! Also my "666" thank you mark
Hm.
Uh oh, due to not testing I've botched (and just now noticed) SU in this ROM. I'll post a fix shortly, as soon as I get home to do the edits. Sorry about this everyone, I'll have it fixed as soon as possible for you all.
Thanks for that catch, just getting it installed. I'll wait for that.
Could you also, in the next update, change the phone model to MT4G?
Home now, made the necessary changes and in the process of uploading.

Not sure if this is a miui problem or a port problem, the buttons at the bottom of the device, e.g. home menu back, do not light up. Also, long pressing the genius button does nothing.

does your home button work, and does normal pressing your search button work?
i had this problem before on one of options builds. Just wipe and reflash and you should be set. May take a few tries and retries of wiping and flashing (took me two times) but it fixed the issue
WIFI does not start for me, and third party access for phone calls is not working, even though it is enabled in the Call settings, and Google Voice is set to Always Ask how i want to make a call. Instead of asking if i want to make a call with my Google Voice number, it uses the real cell phone number.
I've tried wipeing and reflashing 4 times. Each time, the translation pack never installed. The buttons still didn't light up, and the genius button did nothing. I flashed on top of a fresh install, and the translation worked. However, the buttons still don't light up, and the genius button doesn't do anything. Also, can't change the brightness in the drop down menu or in settings. The slider/auto brightness does nothing.
To answer VibrantOwnr, the home button does work as it should, just doesn't light up.

Not for nothing, i'm not sure what kind of testing you did, but this port is incomplete. I understand that this is your frist attempt @ porting a rom, but maybe you should do a little more research before hand.. I'm not trying to be a d*ck here, but this shouldnt of been released to general public. anyone who flashes this rom is essentially flashing a rom for the vision with a modified build.prop.. I would say use this @ your own risk, but dont be surprised when things r broken...
The key lay out is vision you need to add the files from the glacier. I haven't flashed this rom yet but use options rom as a base for your Rom. Since it for the glacier. A lot of the system files are visions.

he is missing the correct files from and not limited to:
/system/usr/keychars
/system/usr/keylayout
/system/lib/hw
/system/etc/firmware
not to mention a total unorthodox way to create/flash a rom???
Hey, don't blame him, he's trying. I'm even thinking of creating a crazily modified version of Cyanogenmod 7. He may not be great, but a least he's making an effort.
But as said before... Warning: ROM may have minimal to serious problems.
This is a message to the op next time you decide to make a rom share with friends people that will appreciate your effort not xda this community is very self centered most of time its either there way or no way the devs are great just the public always has something to say
No one is blaming him for anything he made an incomplete port it not that big of a deal but since true s off. We can literally flash any rom. He didn't change any files in this Rom except for a few. All the files are a vision files almost. We don't mean for him to take it. As bad advice. If he would of had a vision radio we would have bricks going back and forth. Then every one would be blaming him.

Don't blame him? I don't even understand what that means? There is no blame only telling how it is.. The port is incomplete and i do believe that anyone that is thinking of flashing this ROM would like to know that information, i know i would... I even went a step further and specified folder locations for of the files he need to replace with the correct ones.. So I was helping him out by giving him a little advice since he didnt want to do the research first...

first off punctuation is always nice :] Quite a leap by calling the entire XDA community "self-centered" and i do not believe it was my way or no way, I really think thats an over reaction. Hey i do have to agree with you, the public does always have something to say...

Disable Volume Buttons Wake-Up?

Hey guys. I haven't been able to find any information regarding modifying the functionality of the hard buttons on the GNex, all my searches just turn up mods to the soft buttons. On my phone, the two volume buttons on the left wake up the screen. I would like to disable this, since the buttons are fairly well placed to cause lots of accidental and in-pocket presses. Its well documented that the screen is the single most battery-intensive hardware component on this device, plus I generally like to keep my lockscreen disabled.
I know similar mods exist for other devices, since I had one for my old phone (the DroidX), and I found one for the Galaxy S II
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086526
I will be hunting for the files that control this, but figured I could potentially speed up my search with a point in the right direction. Will look into it once I get my SSH and rsync stuff up and running.
While writing this post I DID find this:
http://source.android.com/tech/input/key-layout-files.html
Looks like it may not be too tough to parse out what can and cannot be modified on the Gnex
What ROM are you on? I am sure you can just ask the rom dev to give you a zip file to disable it.. does it do this on stock? I haven't had stock in so long but I don't believe it does..
How To Disable Volume Wake
I'm having the same problem, I flashed "Rooted,De-odexed,Zip-aligned ROM With Stock Insecure Boot Image And New Radios & Bootloader" to get to 4.0.4 and now my phone wakes whenever I use the volume keys. Anyone know how to disable this? While I'm at it, anyway to disable wake when plugging/unplugging from charger too? Thanks!
Sorry for a noob comment..am I missing something here...when I lock the phone..it doesn't wake when I press volume buttons...I'm on stock rom

What ROM are you using? As far as I know, this is not how stock ICS runs. Never did when I was on it. Certain ROMS (codename android and AOKP for example) have this as an option in the settings. If you are on a custom ROM, check your settings.

custom roms have. such as AOKP
Yup

volume wake
Looking for any updates on this topic
What Gnex GSM ROMs implemented this feature
i tired widgetlocker, but the feature "Easy Wake Mode/any hardware button to wake" doesn't seem to work on Galaxy Nexus unless i'm forgetting or not seeing something, seems like i went through and tried all the options of widgetlocker-but no response to volume keys when device is sleeping.
please point me into a right directions about volume wake
is there a possibility to cook a volume wake mod for other ROMs
Thank you in advance.

Pretty much any/all AOSP based roms have implemented it (4.0.3). The only AOSP rom I can think of that currently does not have it is BAMF, but IIRC it will be in the next version.
Shortlist I can think of:
CM9
Liquid
Gummy Nex
AOKP
Many others...close your eyes, throw a dart, and chances are you'll hit a rom that has it.

Quick question about ICS hardware and software buttons

I'm just curious from those of you who flashed, how is ICS implemented? There was some criticism of ICS replacing the 'menu' button and removing hardware buttons. Do the leaked rom builds use 'software' buttons also or are those functions coded to our hardware buttons (this is my assumption). Does the hardware menu button do anything (i.e. is it linked to 'menus' in apps still?)...how do you feel with the changes in 'search' button functionality in ICS?
I'm hoping to install the ROM myself soon and take a look but don't have the time now and was hoping someone could provide quick thoughts on these issues (I haven't found any reviews or discussions related to this...)
Thanks for any thoughts

Lol why don't you flash and find out =0 jk lol no the factory buttons are still in use I believe only new ICS phones from niw on will have on screen buttons everything as far as hardware buttons work normally only thing different is screenshot is home and volume down
Yeah, i tried to pre-empt that suggestion obviously thanks for feedback, i guess im just gonna have to try it and find out what software isnt working and how search and menu are integrated into the OS and apps. Im not really thrilled with what they did with the buttons going forward actually...we'll see. thanks

Music player suggestions?

The stock music player works fine for me. The thing is, and maybe it has some sort of option and I just don't know about it, but when I go out for my walks, I hate having to reach down and taking the phone out of the case from my waist to skip to the next song or replay the last song.
So I was wondering if there were any options that would allow me to maybe use the volume up down buttons or the buttons on the built in mic/volume control on the Samsung headset that came with the phone to do this?
Thank you,
Whiteice
First off, are you rooted?
If yes, then you can try FreeGS3 ROM[/UR], it's close to stock with many tweaks including the vol up/down mod to change songs. Was looking for a flashable zip in the dev section but couldn't find one.

Yes, I am rooted.
Thank you for the suggestion. I will look into it. If you happen to come across a flashable zip for the stock rom on root, please do let me know.
With all the flashing of different roms on my Nexus 7 recently, I am burnt out right now flashing roms. I just got this phone and getting used to it, so im not looking into roms, not just yet, but eventually sure. Plus, being on Sprint, word is the JB update is coming out soon so I don't want to flash a rom then JB comes out.
Regardless, thank you,
Whiteice
Poweramp has good reviews, not free however.. they do have a trial version though.
I've been using Player Pro for a couple years now, nice interface and cool widgets and lock screen options. They have a week trial you can use, that's how they got me
