[Q]quick boot with cm7

Hi every one.
Is there a way to active fast boot(quick boot like phone's default) on CM7 Roms?

no answer!
change libs?
port default libs?
other files?
there is no way?

Please clarify.
Do you mean fastboot as in booloader or the fast start up that was an option on stock ROMs?
If the latter then I don't believe there is such an option no. To be honest I never used it. Hardly ever turned my phone off and if I did my life wasn't so busy that I couldn't wait for the phone to boot up.
If you mean bootloader fastboot then press and hold power button.

Don't know about cm7 but LeeDrOiD has hibernate in the shutdown menu. Works like a charm and consumes next to no juice. Do you have something similar that would be useful?

It's not possible for the 'Fasboot' in CM7 as Fastboot is a supplement of HTC Sense. However there is an advanced power menu that allows a Hot Restart, however I guess this isnt a Fastboot sorry.

Yeah, many unexperienced users have reported this.
If you are running HTC Sense, and you want to get to the recovery on Fastboot, you have to do this.
Press Restart, Hold Vol - Throughout the Restart. And I mean whilst the device is on and powering down. It'll go crazy and vibrate lots, thats normal. Another fix is just remove the batter and do the Power On + Vol -...

I'm sure its possible to have hibernate (fastboot) in the shutdown menu same as LeeDrOiD? I have fastboot disabled in settings and yes have sense. Lee also has a no-sense patch, but not sure if it actually removes the hibernate option though. You have to throw that question to his thread. Maybe his particular feature is LeeDrOiD and all these custom ROMs including cm7 have their own features. ;-)

Its for aosp ROMs like stock that lack the power menu options besides shut down. Not counting modified aosp like sosei of course.

But doesn't boot any faster, your point is invalid. OK kidding I hadn't noticed it shut down any faster then a normal reboot, but since I don't use stock ROMs I don't tend to use this app.

Thank you
Thank you. This is very helpful for Nexus One with broken power button. :victory:

Awesome app!

Plus, the recovery buttons combinations sometimes don't work, so I use this app to get to CWM/TWRP to be able to upgrade from stock to AOSP.

App for restarting phone

Is there an app which can restart the phone but without rooting the phone..

Why do you need that ? Just press and hold the power button for a few second, the Phone options will pop-up, just choose restart to restart the device.

Why do you even need to reboot your phone that much?

You could Quick Boot if you wish. Can also reboot straight to recovery and bootloader. Unfortunately I can't link to it as I've only recently joined XDA.

I dun reboot that much..Just once a day..but I dun want my power button to get depressed because I have to rely on unlocking on the same button..which gets pressed quite a lot of times...
Also if you could suggest me some widgets or apps that can help me to lock my phone..I used extended controls which was not a great experience because when I unlocked the screen remained black till I switched on to some other application ..

I don't think it will harm the proximity sensor, it just that I don't like to see a red light on the proximity sensor light up when using this app as I guess it use more battery...and that's maybe the reason why they have a time-out to kill the app after certain time. Once the app is killed, you still need to press power on. Anyhow, this is my personal opinion only, nothing against the app; I maybe wrong.

Thanks tell me since when are you using this phone??do you find your power button by any chance pressed inside even a little??Also I dun think that it uses much battery as the Statistics posted by the App developer state..it would be great if someone would throw some light on it though..

Since Apr 3rd, two days after the HOX officially launched in my country. Do not really notice that, maybe because I seldom use the power button as my device is rooted, using quick boot for reboot, reboot to bootloader & recovery, swipe to power on and so on.

Why are you even rebooting once a day? It isn't necessary and will solve all of your problems.

Remapping the home button

Ive been trying to make my home button function the same as the power button. First I made a nandroid and rebooted andthen went here--> System/usr/keylayout/generic.kl and changedkey# whatever-said-home to say POWER. rebooted and it didn't work, it worked just like normal. Then I went back and changed every key that said home to power anywhere in the keylayout directories and still, it works like normal! Any advice or knowledge to help me solve this puzzle?
Thanks!

I'm on an aokp build BTW and I tried the button remapping app as well. Stubborn button =
Sent from my Kangadore 64

Well for starters, did you reboot?
There should be a thread in one of the US variants forums that tells you about the key layouts.
Theres also an app that will give you info on what button you just pushed.
Been a while so cant remember the name and dont know if itll be compatible, but maybe someone else does and will chime in.

I've rebooted with every change. I tried theapp that tells you what button you pushed but it doesn't show what the power or home buttons key in as, its in the FAQ of the app I don't know what the issue is, I can change other buttons around but this one refuses to cooperate.

You have to edit the sec-keys.kl file to whatever you want then reboot. Generic.kl only takes effect if sec-keys.kl isn't there. So edit sec-keys.kl then reboot and you should be golden

@OP....
Got a better idea. Download apex launcher, and download screen off and lock.....
Open apex settings, behavior settings, home button...
Have it launch screen off and lock when pressed. Your phone will now turn off when you press the home button from your home screen.

all they did was change what function the home button does. Look at a few posts up to see the file they changed and it's quite self explanatory, you will see a list of four buttons and their default assignments. Then you can either disable one by putting a # in front of the entire line or change them to say make the home function as a camera button.

Tv off effect

Is it possible to get the tube tv effect when I put my screen to sleep on the stock rom?

??

Its called crt animation and not on stock roms! Im sure in time there will be a custom rom that will contain that soon

Lol

my bad, I meant to reply to tyshemi, not you. I did install that app. It does not work with the power button, and the animation is not as nice..=

The CRT off animation doesn't play well with JB from what I've seen a couple devs say, which is why it isn't even on the custom ROMs, so chances of getting it on a regular phone are slim and none I'd say.

I never said it worked with the power button. It's an icon you can tap; might actually be nicer. But I'm sorry to hear that you don't like it as much!

Thanks for the info. I kind of like the tv static plus crt close.
I have the off button on my screen now. For when I actually remember to use it, vs muscle memory of hitting the physical button.

No problem! Just a word of caution - When I use this in combination with WidgetLocker the unlock doesn't work. I had to turn the screen off with the power button then it worked again. Most likely caused by the way that WidgetLocker is an app and not a system function.
