[Q] Make "HomeButton" = Screen On Button? - Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! Is there any way to make a different button than the Powerbutton, turn the screen on? It's uncomfortable to always press the Powerbutton to activate the Lockscreen.
Thank you!

if you are on cyanogenmod or blayo's rom, trackball for screen on is already activated
i use "widgetlocker" you can find it on the market, and there is an option to use the volume keys also for screen on
widgetlocker is a paid app, but it allows allot of customization for your lockscreen
how to use the home key idk
hope this helps a bit

thanks - I'll give it a try! ;-)

Power button configuration?

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a app to change the button that powers up the phone out of sleep.
Normally you press the power button and then unlock drag with your finger.
I would love to see it changed to the optical button press, as it's the only feature of the iphone i like
maybe you can use Screen Mode Widget ,change it's state to 'Awake Stay',then the device will not screen lock but will dim(press any button will awake the screen).Try it

me too
Slide function doesnt seem to work.
I usually press the optical button or home button the im able to slide the screen to unlock, do not think this is implemented coz then the display will turn on and off if you fx has it a pocket.
If you press any button does the screen come to life? I mean are you able to unlock device? if so then it works

I've also used LockBot Free cuz I don't really like the HTC lock screen. How ever I stop using it because it wakes my phone with any button I press and I tense to hit the volume rocker all the time. but it is a good alternative.
Anybody tried this method from desire topic? (root needed)

How to lock long press end key?

Hello together
I have a little problem with my HD2. I have the Goatrip 6 ROM installed with Cookie´s Home Tab 2.0 and S2U2 2.43. The problem is that S2U2 don´t lock the long press end key.
There is a not choosable option in S2U2 2.43. "Don´t lock long press end key"
I need a program who locks the long press end key similar with the lockscreen. Do anybody know a program? Thanks for your help.
I don't think it is possible.
The normal/official rom lock (with the slider or hd mini version) doesn't lock it either.
It's probably something to do with that key being the power key, that it will have priority over everything else to allow you to power off. All keys are able turn the screen on, but long press send key doesn't work while locked, maybe because it's a hack and not standard.

I think u could remove it by closing Endkey.exe.... But u cannot block it just for S2U2...

[Q] Any Way to Press Power Button Twice to Turn On?

I hate using the slider to unlock the phone, and the fingerprint reader is nice but can miss sometimes. I'd rather just be able to push the power button twice to wake & go to Home (just like pressing Menu twice on the G1 to wake).
Does anyone know of a way to do this? Are there any programs that can get rid of the slider screen?
Search for a program called NO LOCK in the market. I don't like having to swipe to unlock either...
That's exactly what I was looking for! Thanks
Awesome! Glad I could help.

Waking up the Atrix with the Volume Button?

When I first got it, the volume button would wake up the phone. A few days later it stopped doing it. Maybe I changed some settings but I've been looking thru them all and can't find it.
Was this a bug? I know most people need apps to be able to do that from what I read.
It was so much nicer than pressing the power button. *sigh*
I like waking up the phone with the volume buttons as well. I use a program known as widgetsoid 2.x, you can download it from the market, that lets you unlock the screen - meaning that you can wake the phone with the power button or volume rockers and won't need to slide to unlock it either.
WidgetLocker allows you to wake up the screen, and thus unlock the phone, from the volume keys as well.
DK
So you can't do it without an app?
Must have been just a tease. lol
I was hoping there was something simple in the settings somewhere.
Download No Lock, it allows you to use the volume rocker + power button to wake up the phone and gets rid of the lock screen for those of us that don't like it.
I use NoLock as well. Occasional Opera Mobile errors when waking the phone up, but overall NoLock works well...
Thanks, tried no lock. Works pretty well. Few times it still locked but I can live with that.
Thanks, No Lock was much better than widget locker that i've been using. The slider in widget locker is so slow/laggy.
You can also download "lock screen" to be able to lock screen by touching an icon instead of the horrible power button.

Atrix Wake Up On Volume Down Button
If you are using a custom ROM with cyanogen mod go on settings-cyanogen settings- input- and tick volume rocker wave.
this will allow you to wake your Atrix without using the annoying power button.
If this helps please press thanks.

Suggestion: Home button on lock screen

Hi folks, not sure if this is the right place for this, but hopefully it will get moved if needed.
So, how many times have you used the menu button on your phone to check the time? And then you have to press the power button on the side to turn the screen off - right?
What if the menu/home button was able to turn of the screen when on the lockscreen? So you only need that one button to turn the screen on and off?
I know, I know, there's a power button like RIGHT THERE...but you have to change your hand position/shape to use it, when the home button is sat there doing nothing.
Is it possible? Does anybody want to have a go at it?
Or am I just a lazy so-and-so?
I have one..but I dont know can it working with your ROM... Im using CrDroid LLA + JKay,, backup your rom before flash it..
Here try yourselve: http://www.mediafire.com/?2hlh4abepn2x9e9
