Great widget and app to have . No need to do anything to have flash light or tethering. Works every time and it is free. No modification to phone. I use on any android phone i own and always work..

Here are a couple of mods that I use.
1. Home button wake off.
I use this because I keep my phone in my pocket and I'm always turning on the phone on accident. This will make the home button disabled from waking the device. (But will still work when the phone is awake)
2. Home button wake on.
Re enables the home button.
3. User management mod
This will enable your
Phone to have more than one user account kinda like windows does.
So if you let someone else use your phone you can make a guest account or whatever you need the extra accounts to be named.
Then all your stuff will not show up when they use the other account.
To access the features Open the app. Create a new user. Then to access the users hold down power button and you'll see the user accounts on the power menu.
These are confirmed working on tw roms
I believe root is needed. Just flash in cw or twrp
The user app. Only needs to be installed. Not flashed
I would give credit but I don't remember where I got the mods. I will give thanks too whoever made them if I can figure it out lol
Feel free to mirror.

I have tried widgetlocker and it doesnt seem to work. I also tried button Savior (which for ever reason doesnt even request root from my device).
I currently use Sweep2Wake as my primary method of unlocking and locking my phone, and thought it would be a cool alternative to having a password (as i am on a stock rom with shortcuts on the lockscreen that i can't use with a password) if this could be the only way of unlocking the phone. Most of my friends are iphone users and the ones that do have android phones don't know of this feature.
Ideally the power button would still work when the phone was unlocked (at least for the purposes of the power menu) and turning the phone on.
As an FYI I already have the volume buttons configured to skip tracks on long press.
If anyone knows of an app or mod that i could flash to help me out i'd be grateful, and please no "get a password!" posts
I see a little problem here, if S2W fails for some reason, how you gonna turn on your phone?. neat concept, bad idea
Hi! Sorry if this has been posted before.
I have a very unreliable Gnex. The Power Button is completely broken and i have charging problems. The phone charges whenever it wants plus the battery doesn't hold up charging that well.
I am on stock Android 4.2.2, would like to root it to find a solution for my Power Button. To this date. June 2013, what's the best ROM i should root my Gnex with, to help me with my broken power button and charging issues.
I never rooted a device, so if anyone can comment a bit. My volume buttons do work. Any links are appreciated, just a heads up which way should i go.
Thanks!
Have exactly the same Issues with my GNex.
Use "Auto Screen On" to activate your Screen with the proximity Sensor and "Widgetsoid" to turn Screen off with a Notification-Widget.
Charging problem is weird. Try other USB Cable. And clean your Port with alcohol.
your power button doesnt work so you'd be hard pressed to unlock and root the device.
Things to do if Power button doesn't work.
How to reboot!
Remove your battery, connect the charger, plug in the battery.
On the insertion of battery, if the charger is already connected then the phone boots up.
Tip: If your power button is broken, try and make sure your phone never runs out of battery.
How to lock the phone?
Download a custom ROM. Most custom ROMs have custom toggles. The QuickSetting toggles have a Lock/Standby/Sleep/Power tile too. I prefer CM tiles, but AOKP tiles are good too.
How to lock the phone?
Use a kernel supported by PGM. Most kernels now are supported by PGM. You can try out some like Fancy, Anarkia, Franco, Lean, Trinity, etc.
With PGM, you just need to slide your finger from left to right to unlock the phone.
I hope this helped you.
All the best.
Broken screen phones can be had for very cheap on some auction sites. I got mine for 65.00 to replace the main logic board that went bad. Just saying if your not getting rid of it soon, try fixing it. They are very easy to work on.

When playing music with the screen off, neither the stock headphone's volume buttons nor the phone's volume buttons work, requiring the power button to be pushed. The pause button on headphones works. Any thoughts? Never was this way on my S2. On Wicked v5.1/faux kernel.
More clearly: this is with the screen completely off; it works fine on lock screen. What I'm hoping to have happen is the ability to control the volume when I'm using it as a music player, with the volume buttons simply working without turning the screen on. It doesn't work on Player Pro, nor the stock music player. It also doesn't change the volume on phone calls if when the screen is powered off, but is fine when the screen is off due to proximity. Thanks!
This happens to me too, i not tested very deeply, but when i reset the phone, works normally, just after a few apps (rooted ones included) it just stops working while screen is off...
Did anyone find a solution? I have the exact same problem! Model: I9500
EDIT: Guys I found the problem. It was with one of my xposed mods. I had enabled skipping tracks with volume keys. This resulted to neither track changing nor volume control. I suspect it was clashing with my poweramp volume button controls. I disabled that option in wanam xposed and rebooted.. Everything is back to normal!

But don't you think it's a pain to reset your phone everytime? I mean isn't data loss and app restoration everytime painful? Or do you mean reboot?
