OK, I have some minor issues that I still need to iron out but am finding apps to correct or tweak settings.
One issue that is slightly above being minor is the power button function during sleep.
The power button wakes the device as expected, but with his custom ROM, I am not able to disable the power button feature to wake.
All other ROMs have the ability edit the keymap file by removing wake call function.
Once I am able to disable the wake function with the power button, my device will be green friendly when being stored in confined areas such as the original box for x-mas gift. )
Thanks!

I used to have an XDAII (the very first) where the unit could be woken up by pressing any button. There was a setting in the control panel that allowed you to set it to only recongnize the power button or have the other buttons wake it up. Naturally I set it to the power button, but after a while, that button got worn down and stopped "working" so I naturally set it to recognize any other button.
This experience has taught me the hard way, that its a good choice to have (or maybe even a necessity in some cases) that other buttons to wake the unit up in case of situations like this.
I've just bought an Atom life and unfortunately it ONLY recognizes the power button to wake the unit up. Is there any hack or software out there that could enable the other buttons (or better yet, allow selection of which buttons can turn the unit on)?
I'd like to use the large middle button on the front if possible, since that button seems more "sturdy" than the power button. I may be able to save that poor power button from years of wear and tear.
just realized i posted in the wrong section. Moderators, feel free to move it to the parent Atom section, and my sincerest apologies
Hi, nargalzius
I have been search for decade, but i still cannot find the way to assign other button for waking up da device......
same problem here...
anybody out there figured this one out already?
bump
did anybody find a hack for this?
I have just the opposite problem. I use the headphones that come
with the Atom Life - the button on it not only turns on the device.. if
you bang the mouth piece on something (without hitting
the button), it turns it on too!! I'd love a solution to that
I use O2 Flame and got the same setting, no other hard key than the power button can wake up the device from sleep. Anyone knows the tricks or registry hacks, please share. Thank you very much.
Atom Life Wakeup Button
Hi guys, there doesn't seem to be an answer on here and I assume the reason is as follows - Atom Life also wakes up by pressing the "end" key... (I think this is a general hardware setup)
I was also a bit weary of the power button being worn out, so I did some experimentation and found that the end button works a treat if you have the same concern "end - s2u"... swweeet!
Hope this helps.

You mean when the phone is in standby mode and you press the END key, the phone will come out of standby? Beats the whole purpose of standby then
I do echo the same "problem" of not being able to change the mapping of the power button to the front button.. ( as I was able to do with my XDA II)
I 'm confused about the "end" key solution..
Anyone finding a solution ?
Thank you all
Nearest program might be MORT saver? it allows you to specify the button that put the device in to MORT stand by and therefore the same button that will awake the device. Not exactly the power button option that you talk of wanting but at least MORT also stops the device from waking up when any of the buttons around the action button are pressed.
anyway to have a hermes device wake from sleep using any button?
that would work nicely with s2u2
discover your device
an important thing you should keep into consideration is that with WME you don't own only a phone but a simplified personal computer in addition.
surf your device and discover its abilities!
Hint: your device has a "Programs" folder and also "Settings".
Details: check Settings->System->Key Lock
I have done something like what you say, but the problem is that the buttons *also* activate the feature of the button you press. I think you just want all buttons to pull up s2u2.
I also would think that touching the screen should pull it up, but when you finally work out how to get that to work (it will), you end up killing your battery.
Are there any mods to disable the phone from waking-up when the home button is pressed?
I keep accidentally waking up my phone when I reach into my pocket, or when I'm cleaning the front screen.
I run AOSP ROM's, currently LiquidSmooth.
I know you can set the hardware keys to perform certain functions when the phone is awake, but not sure that you can disable a button for when the phone is asleep.

I just did this on stock rom, but it should still work on AOSP,
I'm assuming you're rooted, so go into your file manager app and navigate to /system/usr/keylayout and open sec_keys.kl as text.
On the line where it says
"key172 HOME WAKE"
Just delete the word wake and reboot, your home key should now function as it should minus the wake
Remember to backup for the worst case scenario

Thank you very much, Jordayum. That worked perfectly. I applied it to the volume up/down keys also. :good:
Is there a way to modify the function of the HOME BUTTON so it doesn't wake the phone?
My Arc S keeps on unlocking inside my pocket and takes a lot of snapshots and drains the battery.
And another thing, what variable to use to open RECENT APPS via a hardware key, for example the camera shutter key.
Thanks in advance.
To prevent screen from turning on in pocket, disable the feature, which turns on screen via home button. Will post instructions later.
Sent from LT18i with custom firmware by myself.

Would really much appreciate it, I've been tormented by this accidental unlock in pocket and drains my battery because of the camera.
Thanks in advance.
Oh, and about the other thing, is it possible? What if I substitute the RECENT APPS for the MENU BUTTON, would the 3dot option appear on some apps?

Take a file explorer, that can access root folders (ES File Explorer for example), make sure to go into settings and allow access and write to system folders.
Then go to /system/usr/keylayout, open the file pm8058_keypad.kl with ES File Explorer's default Note Editor (long press, Open As, Text), find this line
Code:
key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
and change it to
Code:
key 102 HOME
So just remove the WAKE_DROPPED part.
Wrote it from my head, might have mistakes. Hopefully not.
EDIT: About the recent apps, this is coded somewhere in framework, I can't help you with that. However, the on-screen buttons do not show Menu button, it will only appear on the right side, if there is an app, which makes use of the Menu button and no other possibilities are available (depends on how the app is built).
Thanks a lot for the help sir.
It did the trick and the HOME BUTTON doesn't wake the phone from sleep.
Really much appreciated help.
Thanks again.
I have another question sir, How can I assign the WAKE function in some other button, let's say the VOLUME DOWN?
I tried replacing the WAKE with WAKE_DROPPED but it didn't work, I tried adding it without removing the WAKE and failed.
So is there a way for this?
Thanks again in advance sir.
This particular problem is the reason I use a lock pattern, not because of the security of my phone, but because of the many photos my pocket takes. However, it would be nice if we could wake the phone using the volume rockers, just not to abuse the power button. I also tried to place WAKE_DROPPED on such buttons with no success, help pretty please
Actually I was looking for a mod to use the proximity sensor to know when it is in the pocket, and not allowing the menu button to wake the handset, but this is way better, thanks pal :highfive:
-----------------------------------
Edit:
I found out that the volume rockers actually work well waking the screen, but, you have to select in security>Screen Lock>None
In such case the volume rockers will work to wake the phone (no need to add anything to the VOLUME DOWN line, as it already says WAKE)
Now the question is how to change it to do it while having slide, pattern or password as screen lock
Yeah, that's what I'm after. Using the Volume Rocker to function like the HOME Button in waking the phone.
Will someone help us out in customizing this. The POWER BUTTON is pretty far for my fingers, and the VOLUME DOWN sits just right under my thumb when holding the phone.
Would really much appreciate it if someone help us out.
Maybe they can include something like this on custom roms, giving the users the option to pick which would they prefer.

It is already on some custom ROMs.
CyanogenMod/FXP based and MIUI ROMs, if I am not mistaken.
But I'm using Zelly Cream 2.5 and it doesn't have that. Hope that it can be ported to this rom.
How do i do it if it's possible? I don't have the know how on such programming/language, will someone help me.
Hi, I have my xperia arc s also with the same problem with you... i actually downloaded root explorer and i can navigate the system data/files but i cannot modify the files mentioned the HOME WAKE_DROPPED... because my unit is not a rooted one...
Please help me to disable the home button by not rooting my phone... Can you make an APK file to disable this function? please please help
I have replaced the screen on my Optimus G (E975k, Telstra) and the menu button works whilst the back is off, but as soon as I put the back on, the menu button doesn't work... super annoying!
I'm not sure if my clumsy attempts to replace the screen have damaged the synaptics ribbon and the cover going on puts pressure in the right spot to stop the ribbon cable making the connection for that button or what, but I'm looking for help getting around this.
Is there a way to make longpress on back arrow to open the menu, if so then 90% of my problems are solved, I can force the onscreen nav buttons to show up and that is great but it seems like a waste of space if I can work around it with a back button long press... I tried a few key remapping apps but they do not seem to be able to do what I want to do... if there is a custom rom that would support this then I would just flash that I guess.
Anyway, help from anyone would be appreciated
Thanks
EDIT: Okay so I edited /system/usr/keylayout/keypad_8064.kl
changed
Key 115 VOLUME UP
to
Key 115 MENU VIRTUAL
This allows me to use the volume up button as the menu button, so I'm out of trouble, but I would still like to map back button long press to the duty rather than lose my volume up button.
Hey man, if ur on stock i think u can use xposed modules for long press behaviors and custom button actions.. Usr gravity box etc.. If u like custom rom, many offer custom button actions
