I have been trying to Find a Macro Mapper or some kind of 3rd party ap to lock my device when i press the power button. The only work around at this time is to use Lock Device with 4 number pin and 0min lock setting. however i am tired of constantly pressing digits and would rather use native Lock Function that requires bottom left tap to unlock than middle right side tap to confirm unlock. However, it is only initiated from a Lock on screen tap.
IF anyone knows how to enable this lock by pressing the power button which is in my case on the right side of my mogul(PPC6800) that shuts off the screen and powers down to standby i would greatly appreciate it. this is also a replacement for S2U which has a few bugs with slide out keyboard and memory leaks.
Try this...

there is a program by spb that has this funtion... I don't know the name of it but i will look around. I don't remember the specifics of it, but there was a check box that says to lock teh device when you hit the powerbutton (or anytime the display turns off)
i believe it is SPB mobile shell
"Device Lock
Spb Mobile Shell 1.5 improves usability of device locking. Now you can lock your device using a hardware key, soft key on Today or a shortcut. You can also unlock the device using only soft keys. When your device is locked the Now Screen shows you the most important information, so in most cases you don't even need to unlock the device. "

you can at least try it out and see if it does what you want.
damn i apparently didn't didn't read all of your post... so you don't want to use slide2unlock.. hmm i guess your best bet is to try spb mobile shell and play with the options to see if you can get it to do what you want -- unless of course someone wiser than me knows of something else.
::ignore below:::
it turns out that what i was really was thinking of was slide2unlock

(from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=353008)
options:
lock when device wakes up --- on/off
lock when backlight turns off ---on/off
power off in --- (time in S)
but blank screen only -- on/off
blank screen on talk -- on/off
then it has some other options for how it looks -- but if you don't mind doing the slide bar to unlock the phone it will do what you want.

In order to turn on the phone's display, I have to push the power button.
I would like the display to turn on when I slide out the keyboard.
Is there any fix for this? I have tried AEBPlus but didn't see any way to add a hotkey.
Thanks!
For security for improper usage while in pocket or hand bag the key are usually locked. Sliding is not possibly on the screen either. You can do one thing is to check the options in settings and keylock to the "Lock Buttons if Device is Locked" so press anybutton, but not the keyboard button because it will not work
Hi,
I am using Widgetlocker because of the ability to unlock with the keys on the side of the Atrix (volume keys).
But after unlocking the screen it is impossible to immediately use the fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone.
What is the correct setup to get Widgetlocker unlock the phone.
Expected behavior:
1 The screen is dark
2 Press the Volume key to have the Widgetlocker-Screen visible
3 Swipe the finger [not working]
4 Phone is unlocked [not working]
Currently I have to press the Back button after step 2 to see the Motorola/Atrix Unlock screen (where I can swipe the finger and unlock), which is annoying.
Any ideas? Thanks for any input.
Sounds like you just have conflicting lock screens. I would try lockbot it disables the system lock.

Thanks for your feedback, was checking on the market.
But as far as seen no Vol. Key support - instead I have to shake it (probably as well not the best way in business)...
I use No Lock. This allows me to wake my phone with the volume rocker rather than the power button..which I prefer. If I'm going out and about somewhere I feel like I want the fingerprint scanner on..I simply turn the lock back on.
Even though WidgetLocker doesn't prompt you to swipe your finger it should stil accept it. Can you confirm you're trying this?
I have a beta that improves reliability of using the fingerprint scanner. Let me know by email if you'd like to try the beta.
Hi,
I can confirm that it sometimes works probably after I started the phone.
But later it is not possible (at least for me), so my question was what are the correct settings to get this behaviour. I would like to check - if it's my fault.
If it works - you are right - only swipe and it's unlocked.
But the usual way is that it is not working, so I have no chance I have to press the back button (to get the stock lock screen where swipe is possible).
Thanks for your help.
Need simple 3 different apps..
HOME
RECENT APPS
Screen Wake by shake / multitouch screen & allow to unlock unlock
Objective is not to use physical button as I've bad experience of using button they fail quickly due to mechanical wear, journey started with Nexus One...
Simple app HOME takes to home want to put in quick launch JKay, Screen Wake by shake or screen touch
Currently I use home launcher and select home required. May be someone can use this code & recode.
Also want to put the recentapps application to my quicklaunch.
I thinks its one liner code, can someone please make it available in Market, I'm sure it will go superhit...
I've gone from sentinalrom 5 to 6 yesterday and im finding some features that i really enjoyed aren't there any more (or at least i can't find them)
Number one is the ability to use the home button on the lock screen to turn on the torch, and the soft buttons to do other functions, this was very handy for me, but now i can't see that option either under "buttons" or "lock screen"
Anyone know if that capability has been removed or am i just unable to find it?
I've got a rooted Android 7.1 device (with LineageOS).
I want to use Termux to force the screen to immediately turn off and lock, in such a way that I can usually keep the setting "Power button instantly locks" set to false so that pressing the hardware power button will turn off the screen but not lock (except for the "Automatically lock" after 30 seconds etc).
I know there is the Device Manager API that would let an app do this - but I'd like to do it from Termux if possible (so that I don't need to make an app).
I can run this in Termux:
Code:
su -c "/system/bin/input keyevent 26
and get the screen to turn off, but since this is exactly like pressing the hardware button it will not lock unless I have the "Power button instantly locks" setting enabled.
What I'm thinking is, could I manually change the settings database to briefly enable the instant lock, then fire the key event, then turn the setting off again? Any other suggestions?
I found a reference ( groups.google.com/d/msg/android-porting/9aDv9MPWx4M/KxPHoglH7EUJ ) for changing the settings using an sqlite3 command, but I don't know which setting is instant lock would be (or if this is safe to do in newer Android versions).
Partial workaround
It doesn't solve the problem entirely, but I've found that using the "Smart Lock" feature sort of does what I want - keeping the phone unlocked when pressing the lock button.
I have set Smart Lock to enabled "On-body detection", so now while I'm holding the phone or have it on my person it won't lock when I press the lock button. I can force it to lock (and require the PIN) by first locking, then unlocking and pressing the padlock icon at the bottom of the lock screen.
This isn't quite what I wanted but comes pretty close, basically I can use the lock button to turn the screen off and can then also make my phone secure if I need it to be.
