i've searched and could not find...so basically what the title is....
is there anyway to make the home button the unlock button???
as i think the power button is almost as awkward as my atrix unlock button. just curious....i'm still running a stock rom..so i'm guessing if this option was available it would have to be in a custom rom...maybe cm7 as that has a lot of different options.
anyhow just a question.
Kind Regards
Matt
sorry i've been a spoon. i've asked the question, but not actually tried it! whoops. mod can close this!!!! my bad!!! i usually am more observant than this i swear!!! :S
Hi I'm running Villainrom 3.0.0 and if i hit home, wait until lockscreen appears then hit home again, it unlocks.
I'm sure this is not an added mod as VR is as close to stock as possible.
That could be useful but for the moment im going to be staying stock. My past android phones have always been better away front stock. But i do like this.

I would have posted this in the actual thread regarding the GladiAtrix Rom but I am a reader and not a poster and although I have been reading on the XDA forums for months, I haven't made the proper number of posts to post in the Dev. forums. I just hope this gets noticed by the right people.
I have an AT&T Atrix. Rooted proper using GladRoot. Installed no theme GladiAtrix last night and everything went smooth. Want to say THANK YOU for this awesome little thing. Atrix is so much snappier.
Someone else shared the same problem towards the end of the GladiAtrix thread but I did not see anyone reply.
When I hold down the power button to get to the Power Off Menu, it just straight reboots. No menu pops up.
Any ideas on how to get this fixed?
Thanks in advance and cheers!

Never used GladiAtrix but cm7 has an option in setting for extended menu on reboot. Maybe the dev implemented a similar setting on this rom? Or possibly took that feature out of the new release?
Interesting new little bug. None of my clocks or weather widgets are updating. I have tried with both SimiClock and BeautifulWidgets. It will be 11:30 and the clock will say something like 10:50.
I am having to go into their settings then hit save or apply and then it will act right for a little while. Seems to be ok when I am constantly using the phone. More a prolem when its been idle and the screen times out.
Any thoughts?

Figured out the clock not updating thing.
No luck on the power off screen.

Did you install any custom themes after installing GladiAtrix? This will cause the issue depending on what you all install.
hi there, i found a method on the web about taking screenshots.it was saying only works for galaxy s with android 2.2 but i tried it and succeeded on my galaxy ace with villain rom.
as i said, no app or root is needed.
like i said i tried it with villain rom.and it worked as a charm.who have kpe or 2.2 please post if it works or not!
Method :
in the screen you want to take screenshot ( homescreens, menu's, or game screens, etc ) press and hold the back button in the riht corner.while holding it, press menu key once.and a notification will say the screenshot is taken.that is all.
your screenshots will be saved automatically in a folder screenshots.
the most awesome is no need for any app or root!
i cant post the proofs because i havent 8 posts yet
holding right button (touch) and clicking the middle button works for me on both ace and g3...
Screenshots from Ace (2.2.1 not rooted)
i wonder if it is a default android feature or not
if so, why everybody is trying difficult methods or apps?
hmmm.. may be for pic quality... who knows whats cooking in minds of gadget freaks.. ;p

It is Samsung speciality... you can find ScreenCaptureService.apk in the system/app from Samsung...

Because not always does the method work, when the app you are taking screenshot of might return back to previous screen while pressing the Back button. Also other screenshot methods let you capture just by shaking the phone, so no key presses required and helps in better timing.

Try Home+Power for 2.3.4
works on stock 2.3.3, great... but one problem though, when we want to capture a certain screen and press the back button to capture, it goes back to the previous screen... I guess its only for capturing homescreens then
Back plus home key, works for me.

Thats cool. Knew you could do it but never realised how. Gods know how many times I've done screenshots by accident. And now I know
Does work on 2.3.4. but gotta be careful it doesn't jump to Homescreen!

Everyone on this forum probably already knows the answer to this, but what buttons do you have to press to get a screenshot of the phone? (I know there are apps that do this, but I want to know the built in one)
Basically, my 2½ year old son was playing with my newish E3D and when I took it back he had taken some screenshots. I had no screenshot app or anything like that.
I gave E3D to him again, but he hasn't done it again, I tried various buttons and can't find it. Can someone please tell me?
Power button then home button in quick succession.
Thanks dude! (I've hit the button). Was it something in the manual or something?
Dont think so, just picked it up while browsing some threads.
Many people have been asking for this, so here it is. Thanks to "tbriden" for his info on this mod. As with many of my mods, This is currently for deodex'ed roms.
This also contains my Advanced power menu
Advanced Power Menu + Volume Buttons To Wake
Just Flash From Recovery
This mod will remove any of Runandhide's Mods, but I've already passed the necessary edits off to him, and he'll be updating his mod shortly
His mod can be downloaded RunandHides Mod
FROM RUNANDHIDES OP ABOUT THIS MOD
NEW!! for Viper 1.2.1 longpress home =menu, recent app = menu, volume up/down = wake device, half press camera button = search/voice search and includes Vinchenzop's APM
I've been trying to integrate these mods and even using them as standalone and my phone seems to be kind of retarded when it comes to them.
For instance, the advanced power menu mod doesn't work on my phone. Modding it myself or using your mod produces the same result: Holding down the power button to bring up the menu results in a soft-reset back to boot animation, every single time. Wiping either dalvik or cache has no effect. Even hard resetting has no effect. I'm hoping that it's because I've removed so many files in my attempts at a "Senseless" ROM that one of them may be reliant on this mod, and not my phone just being a strange lemon of sorts. Even the modding of framework-res took a LOT of work on my part because every single one of runandhide05's mods to it resulted in bootloops.
WTF?
Am I the ONLY one here? >

Use my framework-res.apk. The reason you're getting a soft reset is because its lookin for icons/layouts that aren't there. And before you notice...yes the files are improperly labeled, but that was just my quick way to get it to show right in the menu
Thanks for this. Coming from the 3D I developed a habit to wake with volume button. Now my habit can continue.

Wait wait wait......so the APM relies on the framework-res.apk? How interesting! that would make sense as to why it does soft-reset on me, as I didn't even try using another one. Every framework-res I've used just boot loops on me. I had to go through some pretty terrible crap to get a framework-res mod. runandhide05's removed the signatures, which is probably the first reason why mine would bootloop, so I added that back in and it still bootlooped. So then I took a stock framework-res and copied the resources.arsc over and that worked, BUT the notification bar became double the size. Every single technique I knew to decompile and recompile resulted in boot loops. I finally got it working with mine&runandhide05's mods, but the file I produced is closer to the stock in file size: 18MB vs 13MB (runandhide05s).
I will give your framework-res a shot and if it works, you'll have to let me know what you're using to decompile/recompile.

Its a f'in headache man, I do all my android modding on linux...but since ICS, I've got to decompile apks on my windows machine (which i am unfamiliar with) and then move them back to my linux machine for any smali edits.
I followed fernando sor's tutorial, to an extent to get a damn framework-res to compile.
Edit: You won't be able to decompile then recompile though...pm me your gmail
Thanx allot for the mod! are there other options in the works like using the camera button to ? That was my favorite because I like the volume buttons used for the "select track while screen off" mod.
Good work and thanx for the contribution
Hey Vin,
Can you add menu remap and long press home to this mod please ... I tried Run's newest mod and it all works except the vol wake so I'm currently using his mod that has LPH, Menu Remap and your APM which works great but I really miss vol wake ... I don't much care about the half press camera but others might ... It not just me, I posted in Run's thread and vol wake being broken was confirmed
Fyi, in his mod the vol wake works but only if you hit a vol key quickly after turning the screen off with pwr button and is repeatable ... If u wait more than 30 secs or so then a vol key will no longer wake the phone and u have to use the pwr button which pretty much renders the vol wake useless ... don't know if that info will help but wanted to fully explain
Thanks !

I'll see if me rebuilding it will yield any different results, but I don't believe it will change anything.

The camera/wake is just a .kl (key layout) edit, and I don't think that's be the reason for the delay/issues. But yea, I'll leave it out for the time being.
But if you follow the ROM thread, you'll know that I won't be home/at my computer for 9 more hours or so...I say this so you're not wasting your time F5'ing this thread

apologies, I said it in a PM to someone, but forgot to reiterate it here. I remade the mod, and it had the same results (delays and/or not working). I'll have to add each aspect one at a time and see what is causing it. This could take a bit (should be this weekend).
Why do you guys prefer the volume rocker to wake? Just curious as to how this benifits. I think its a negative when listening to music and the screen comes on when adjusting volume, no?

Easier one handed operation b/c you can reach it with ur thumb when you take it out of ur pocket without adjusting ur grip. This is just quicker, handier and reduces the chance of dropping the phone with less adjusting in ur hand. Also the same reason I put status bar expander on my homescreen since I can't reach the pull down with my thumb in one handed operation without adjusting my grip

Hi guys,
first time poster here (except for a few random comments). I'm relatively new to the forums, but have been reading up on a lot of stuff as well as having played around with ROMs to try and improve my SGS2's battery life. So along with having gotten myself and extended battery, I'm currently running NeatROM 4.8 which is a Touchwiz-based ROM. After trying a few different ROMs I figured that I actually kind of like Touchwiz compared to vanilla Android or the different launchers. However, a few features are missing.
My main problem with Touchwiz is that it doesn't have the "silent mode" option. On my GNex I'd have "volume", "vibrate" and then finally "silent" when you hit volume down one more time after the vibrate mode. I thought it was quite ingenious, and I hate not being able to set it to "silent" in Touchwiz. I know there's the quick menu option to disable the vibration, but that's just a pain compared to the other feature.
SO...does anyone know of a way to add the vanilla volume control to Touchwiz? A mod? A flashable zip? Some simple launcher that wouldn't kill my battery completely to fix the issue?
Tried searching for a solution in the forums, but didn't find anything that answered my question. Hope someone can help.
you have it ine 4.1 roms as dropdown toggles and in the power button options.....still don't get your point....

That kind of IS my point
I don't want it in the quickmenu (dropdown) toggles. And I don't want it in the power button menu. I'm looking for a way to get silent mode on the volume buttons like it is on Google Android.
I'm not aware of something such as that. My advice would be to post up on the NeatROM thread, super friendly bunch of blokes on there. You'll need a few more posts (need 10 all up) before you can post in a dev thread, but you should be able to get that no worries.
