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 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
http://ac.xenpage.eu/S2U2-0.99c-WM5.rar
(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.
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 have a Motorola RAZR MAXX and it has a nice function that allows me to launch a specific app if I double tap the home button. This is nice, but it is limited by a small predetermined list of apps.
I was wandering if there are any apps available that allows you to not only choose from all installed apps, but specifically allows you to launch certain phone actions ... such as toggling screen orientation lock on/off. Too many times have I been in an app and had to back out to the home page just to change this setting. I would love to simply be able to double click the home button to toggle screen rotation on/off.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
My Chromebook used to turn off the screen anytime I pressed the power button. I often use it to type notes during presentations, and I loved having a fast easy way to turn off the screen to save power if I knew I wouldn’t be typing anything for 5 or 10 minutes.
A few months ago, a ChromeOS update changed this so it only works it tablet mode now, pressing the power button in laptop mode now opens an on-screen menu with options to shutdown, log off, or lock screen. The best workaround I have found so far is to use the brightness keys to get the screen off, but it’s a pain to get it back to the right brightness level every time.
I have the Chromebook in developer mode, and I would like to do one of the following (in order from most to least preferred):
1. Restore power button functionality to how it was before.
2. Re-purpose the lock screen button on the keyboard for turning off the screen.
3. Add a keyboard shortcut to toggle the screen on and off.
4. Add a “Turn off screen” option to the current on-screen menu.
I never really modified ChromeOS before. Has anyone else done these things? Where should I begin? Thank you.
Here is some relevant documentation, maybe the information at the bottom is useful?:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform2/+/master/power_manager/docs/power_buttons.md
I was able to do it by adding the flag "--force-tablet-power-button" to /etc/chrome_dev.conf and restarting the UI, but changes to that file don't seem to persist accross system reboots.
