hello,
is possible to wake up screen without power button?
for example with home button?
(something like the Desire trackpad ball)
Bricked kernel can do swipe to wake (swipe your finger from left to right on the capacitive buttons) to unlock screen, but last time I tried it, it had problems waking up from deep sleep.
hmm this trick is complikated
is stock rom impossible, it is possible in custom rom?
i use an app called ultimate on off from the play store. can be a bit quirky, but saves stressing my power button.

U have to use custom rom and installed the brick kernel...
There are some apps on the market that use the proximity sensor to unlock, but they make the proximity sensor work all the time. I used one such app for few days but uninstalled it fearing that it might burn out the proximity sensor (IR LED).

Well when you want to use the phone you have to press the power button first right? Then slide to unlock.
Is it possible to remap the button to switch screen on from the power button to say...clicking the trackpad? A native way or an app i don't mind. Just seems strange to reach to the top of the phone and i have pretty big hands, it's no problem just me being me i guess.
Download keyguard disabler, then you will be able to turn on the screen with any of the bottom buttons.
Though pressing trackpad seems best as others invoke some kind of action.

the nexus one trackpad has been remapped to wake up the screen, ... but *i think* it has to be rooted first.

Oh that's a shame! Yeah i think any key would cause me to make mistaks while it is in my pocket that's why i would like the trackpad.
I'll live in hope!
Well it was recommended an app called flyscreen but that turned out to be a full lock screen replacement. Not really what I want!
I don't want to give up on this it's my only gripe lol. Anyone any ideas? Or help? Nothing from the Nexus One?
We may have to wait till it's rooted before we get this feature
How about just locking the screen rather than turn it off?

Great way to drain your battery really fast...
If Paul from Modaco gets his Desire it could be rooted very soon. Let's hope so and i want this feature first lol.
Folks can anyone tell me if there is an alternative way to wake up your phone besides pushing the power button, i know there are alot of threads about it but havent been able to find the answer?
Any help would be appreciated

You could try screaming at it or violently shaking it, or perhaps banging a loud drum in close proximity to it. No guarantees that those methods would work but they would sure wake me up in a jiff.
Not as far as I know.
Myn's rom has a way you can put a sleep button in the notification bar. Edit: I just contradicted the question, idk of another way to wake it up. -_-

widgetlocker allows you to wake the phone with the volume keys
Plug it into a power source...this brings up the unlock screen.
Simple answer is......................... No
Slap it's ass and then throw water on it. Works on my ex. LOL
Send yourself a text message, plug it into USB.
Try this
Proximity Screen Off
It uses the proximity sensor to turn your phone on and off without touching the phone. It takes a bit of work to set it up but it does what you want.

If you turn off auto screen lock then you can wake up the phone with the volume buttons. There are several apps that turn ASL off. I only use screen lock when I go out and have my phone in its case. At home and more so when I'm tinkering around with the phone the screen lock can be a pain. Can I say screen lock more times or what? lol
download No Lock from the Market. Disable the lock screen, then you can use the power button, or the volume buttons to wake the phone
Hi all,
Is there any clever way of waking up the HOX from standby using the better positioned buttons like volume up/down, home button etc?
Not interested in any of the apps that activate by shaking or moving phone as I fear it will activate too often in my pocket etc.
Regards, Jens
U should try a custom rom like viper rom
It has alot of tweaks but volume wake up
Not working in deep sleep
For me i use viper rom & custom kernel to use s2wake :thumbup::thumbup:

i use an app called awesome on off. you wake the phone by picking it up at a specific angle (you can choose the angle from a list). i set it to 80 degrees and then carry it around upside down if in a pocket so it won't activate on its own.

If your bootloader is unlocked, your can try CM10 / RD-MIUI which have this feature.
There should be many other custom ROMs with this feature also, but definitely not ARHD.
Give a search for sweep2wake a wonderful feature which works on ARHD perfectly with custom kernels (I use Faux 12b1). Less the hardware button is pressed more the longivity of the device (telling from a bitter past experience)
Also ARHD with Suite Tools has an option of Vol +/- wake feature.
Suite tools isn't available yet on JB. I want swipe wakeup features also
Hi there...
I wanted to ask you if there is a mod, preferably for the Xposed framework, to achieve the following...
I want the Backlight of the three Capacitive button to flash when pressed, somewhat similar to stock android soft keys, so that when you press it it light up for a sec and then turns back off.

They turn on for a few secs when the screen is touched then off.

I want them only to turn on when they are touched... like when i press back, only the back button lights up for a sec and then turns back on...
The same for the home and recents buttons...
Just so there is no misunderstanding...

I get you, I think all the buttons are on the same circuit either on or off.

Doesn't CM have a feature to turn the home button into a notification light so it pulsates when you have a notification ?
That would mean that they can be switched on and off individually

All buttons blink with this feature, not only the home button.
Would you like to leave a tip of a software I'm using. Is the Screen Off and Lock. You can set up to make the screen lock just by sliding your finger on the button back or recent. At least to block not need to use the power button.
The application is available in the Google Store.

Try gravity screen. It uses sensors to lock and unlock the screen.

If you have root, an alternative is the Xposed module KnockOff. It works well with 4.4.2. Double-tap status bar. It's even a quick way to turn off screen when you only momentarily want to check lockscreen.
With Gravitybox, I have set long press in the "multitasking button" to turn off the screen. Also I have set the volume keys to wake the device. You should try it!

You don't need root for gravity - it's fantastic.
I've set it so it turns off when it's lying down face up, face down, and in my pocket. I don't even need to press the button or any button at all to turn it back on, just using the motion of picking the phone up is enough. If you want to lay the phone down but not turn the screen off, swiping your finger across the proximity sensor gives it a "5/10/20 minute timeout" where it won't turn off.
For me it relieves the paranoia surrounding power buttons as I've had a few phones now where the power button eventually dies, which makes sense, we can be turning our phones on and off for what feels like a thousand times a day!

Ah, my bad. Thanks for correcting my misinformation! I think I probably got carried away on how amazing I find Gravity. :good:
Hi thanks for that. YES. I tame extra precaution about power button.
I use a great app called. Tap tap tap. Des what gravity screen does but simpler and less features. Via the proximity sensor. Thanks for he app though
Moto G owners ought to know about those apps as soon as possible, so they won't screw the power button up just as I did. Even taking extreme care about the way I pressed and avoiding as much as I could the button is now shaking and it is not fixed properly.
Nice tips!
Another one I've been using is the Proximity Actions app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=novum.inceptum.proximity
It works with the proximity sensor. You can define waving and holding actions. Eg. hold your finger 1s over the proximity sensor and then lock/unlock, or to wave X times to lock/unlock
The bad is
- it install some ads that show in homescreen at random time
- you have to uncheck a checkbox before uninstalling! Be careful
