Anyway to toggle Volume ON <-> Vibrate ?

Currently, the way I change my PPC profile is by pressing the side volume button, and then tapping on vibrate. That will cause the phone to be in silent mode. I believe many of us do the same?
The problem is, I find it a hassle to press on the button and then tap. It's just too many steps. Is there any app than when tapped on, toggles the volume ON/Vibrate?
Or anyone with vb.net experience can help me on creating such an app? thanks!

Change volumebuttons function.

This will be hard to explain in english but i will try.
Volumebutton on the side, it turns of my ringer now and then, very annoying. I dont understand why HTC let that button control ringvolume at all wake times.
One solution was to edit keypad.kl, i made volumebutton to a scrollbutton. That solution was of course not so good.
Is there another way? I want it to be able to change volume when playing media but i dont want it to be able to change ringvolume.
Softwarewise there is functions to individually have different sets of volume on media, ringer, messagenotification, this in Settings control panel. Somewhere in the code there should be some kind of call to those functions and give volumebutton access to ringvolume. Maybe possibility to delete that function that lets volumebutton change ringvolume?
Does anyone understand my jibbrish-english?
Perhaps any rom-cooking chef could do an "update.zip" for this purpose? Or is this deep inside the software that needs reorganizing much?
Any chef want to confirm my request are looked into? I want this so very much and i dont think i´m alone with this wish.
Or if its practically impossible, please tell me then so i can drop the idea.
Or if my english is so messed up you dont understand what i mean, tell me so i can try harder to explain.
Yes it can be done, all you would need to do is edit the key bindings located in the following file "system\usr\keylayout\qwerty.kl" , you could do this in a update.zip form or via adb.
What do you want the volume up and down keys binded to do>?

I'm also interested in this. Great idea! It has made me miss several calls
Let's not forget that they should work during a call too, which, in my opinion, is even more important.
Would it in some way be possible to stop the volume keys from changing the media volume when the screen is turned off? It's quite annoying when you take your phone out of your pocket and grab it by the volume up button

Whats the difference between qwerty.kl and keypad.kl? I have tried alter keypad.kl but then vol-button became more or less useless, it lost all volume-functions. I only want it to loose ability to change the ringer-volume and leave the rest of volumes alone.
I pulled qwerty.kl from my phone and it practically looks almost the same as the keypad.kl.
If i change key 114 and 115 in qwerty.kl to be for example scrollbutton i wont be able to change any volume at all with that button?
I too would like a similar function as there really is no need for the ability to change it almost anywhere;, especially with the volume rocker being so easily pushed on this phone. The following would be my preferred set up:
Only adjust media volume while playing media (including screen lock as I find it beneficial to change volume without taking phone out of my pocket)
Only adjust ring volume while in sound settings menu (where it should be!)
Volume adjust while in call should be left as is.
The only thing I would want fixed is that you shouldn't be able to use the volume buttons while the screen is locked/turned off.

[Q] lock button alternative?

My lock button is shot, and I was wondering if there was a way to give the volume rocker the same functionality for waking up the phone. I do not want to bypass the lock screen, such as with no lock, and I want to use the default lock screen not widget locker. Is this possible? I just want the phone to wake up when I press the volume button.
Side note, anyone else break their power button and replace it or fix it? It doesnt seem like it would be all that difficult, just wondering if anyone else has done that.
anyone have any solutions for this? I'm rooted so if there is any way to actually re-map the volume up key to have the function of the power key I could do that....
Cm7. 1 has an option to use the volume rocker to wake the phone.
Edit.... Decks rom might have the same option, as it's based off CM, but don't quote me on that as I have never used it.

[Q] Can I disable the power button?

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
