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

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:

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.

Yeah no, doesn't do it on Stock, I'm on IMM30B...
hi.my question is this : is it possible to make this on-screen buttons for gingerbread? for me that have htc desire always pressing the physical buttons makes me nervous that in a near future they will have problems.i asked this questions for real.so take this matter seriously!
Try looking around in development. I'm sure someone has thought of this already. Or you can always try flashing an ICS rom and then applying the softkeymods.
Try ICS Beta for desire and then google mattman mods for ICS.

hey guys can someone give me a rundown of the basics for this phone what is the key combo to get into recovery? Also what to type into the dialer to access the hidden menu? How to do a hard reboot like a battery pull. I did try to hold the power button for a while like the sgs2 but it didnt work. Also what are the basics of the s-pen.
I gotta say this phone is a monster. I cant wait to really get down and see what it can do. I am about to check out the dev section to see if there is some AOKP or cm. And thanks in advance for any responses that I get.

I rooted mine using the Toolkit @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957720
To boot into recovery hold down the home + power + up volume buttons.
Have fun exploring.

Should I try and root if? Anyways any help here would be greatly appreciated oh it's the xt1789-01 if that helps... Still feels like a trap button

ERM... The unlock toggle isn't all you need to do. On Motorola phones you need an unlock code from Motorola's unlock site. It will tell you if your phone ID can be unlocked or not. It's worth a shot. Your warranty isn't void unless they email you an unlock code.
