Hi Everyone,
I have a question.
I want to use the big black touch button on the front of my Desire Z to wake up the screen.
I know it is possible, but i don't know how. I already rooted it and followed the S-OFF method. Can someone tell me how to use the front button as wake-up button?
Thanks in advance!

It does this for me and i don't need root

Yeh, I think this is the most reliable method at the moment, the other known mods are currently inconsistent.
I bought widget locker, how do you set it so that only the trackpad button wake is enabled and not this other lockscreen stuff! I can't seem to enable the trackpad wake without it!

That one worked fine for me, no other stuff to get in the way, just does the one thing.

I got this phone last Friday and am loving it except for one thing. I can't wake up the phone by hard pressing the optical pad. Does anyone know of a way to make this possible?
i know that on the nexus one you had to root and mod for that to be possible.
hope this gets done cause i hate pressing the top power button to wake up.
Download a program called "no lock" from the market. It is designed to make it so you don't have to swipe to unlock but it also allows you to wake the phone with the track pad!
Thanks Scrooge276. I'll try it out.

Thanks for the tip. This app works great.

Your welcome! I was excited to find that this worked (originally suggested to me by attn1) because I missed this feature and that little button on the top is a pain!
There's a thread in the app section for our phones. Same thread title. Hope it helps =)

Lockbot is awesome. I ended up buying the full version.
So I've searched through the threads and there doesn't really seem to be an answer for this other than to use something like widgetlocker, which I don't really want to do because I would like to still be able to use the music player controls from the lock screen. I'm just so annoyed by the haptic feedback every time I want to unlock the phone!
Does anyone know of any way to disable this?
btw Running Azure 1.0.1
Same here. But sometimes, if there is no answer in search means the problem can be solved easily... But I'm still finding the answer too
Go to: Menu - Settings - Security, then uncheck the "Use tactile feedback" option. Hope this is what you need.
@Rapier - yeah, I tried that but unfortunately all it does is disable all haptic feedback except for when unlocking the phone :S
Anyone have any ideas?
have been looking for this too a while ago and i have found this in the hero forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6521199&postcount=174
I haven't had the time back then to test it out myself so i don't know if it will work

Strange. For me it works exactly as it should. Is disabling the feedback only for the unlock pattern, on the other keyboards, dialer and so on, haptic feedback is still present.
Are you using stock or custom ROM? I recall you've said something about Azzure. Maybe this is the issue. I'm using stock ROM and have no problems disabling through the way I told you.

Ohhh ok yeah I guess that's the problem there. I'm running Azure 1.0.1 and unfortunately there does not seem to be any option on my ROM to disable the haptic feedback for the lockscreen as it uses the vanilla lockscreen, for which I believe there was no option to remove haptic feedback. But yes, I do recall being able to turn it off when I was running a stock ROM.
Well, that's a bummer, but thanks anyway!

Hey thanks! This looks like just what I need! I read through the thread and it doesn't seem like it's all too stable but I suppose it's worth giving a shot
I'm looking for a simple app that allows the the Atrix to be woken up via the volume buttons.
I know that there are several other apps, but they all center around removing the lock screen, or replacing it. I *want* the lock screen, I just also want to be able to use the volume keys to wake the phone up.
Is there ANYTHING out there like this? Just this SIMPLE function? I'd even use a bloated app if it allowed me to use the stock lock screen.
Just try widget locker. You can customize it so it can be simple like you want it.
Never live in the past but always learn from it.
"No Lock". Flawless & free..

I gave it a try, and it *almost* works like I want it. I use the fingerprint to unlock, and if you have both the pattern and the fingerprint set, it appears as though after the device wakes up you still need to swipe the screen. This is a hassle. Maybe I'm missing something in the configuration? Also, it appears that WidgetLocker is laggy as hell.

I'm not sure why you are upset?
I asked for an application that allowed me to keep my factory lock screen, and NoLock does not do that. If you have "NoLock" enabled, then the volume keys wake up the phone... they also UNLOCK the phone. If you disable "NoLock", you have the lock screen back, but the volume keys do not wake the phone.
Maybe if you had actually read the post, you would have realized why I responded the way I did.
I know there's an app for it. But I can't remember.
One thing is if you have tasker set context volume buttons, task screen on.

I cant find any way to choose the volume button in tasker context. any helpful suggestions?
I'm just starting out with Tasker, and man are there some endless possibilities. I also can't find any references to the volume buttons. Any help would be appreciated.

For now, you caa use "anyunlock" on market. This tool is not stable if you use with advance task killer and fast reboot. This is shorterm solution with me!

This app right in the FAQ section says, "Can I use the standard Android Lock Screen", and the answer from the developer is no... Still not what I'm looking for.
Any luck finding that?
WidgetUnlocker now allegedly supports the finger print scanner of the ATRIX. I have found it unreliable at BEST.
I'm waiting for another release to see if the capability gets more stable.
The problem with wu is that it's canceling the slide to answer and that renders it useless.

Nolock will prevent full lockscreen but allow to bring out of sleep mode via either volume buttons or power button. The timed sleep mode in settings will put phone to sleep.

I bought my nexus 4 yesterday. I rooted it and now after 2 days using it I have some questions:
1. Is it possibile to personalize the notifications center by adding buttons. I miss so much the silent mode switch button from my galaxy s 2 with android 4.1.2
2. Is it possible to automatically search for contacts from the phone screen typing the letters of the contact we are searching for. In nexus 4 you can search for contacts only by the search screen
3. It seems that the only way to make lock screen appear is by pressing the lock phisic button. Is there an althernative method?
thank you guys
1. Download POWER TOGGLES from play store and you can have Data, Wifi, BT, Screen rotation, Torch, Volume changer to hi-lo etc.
2. Not exactly that but you cn download exDialer and search contact by clicking alphabets which are on numeric keys.
3. I NEVER use power button to turn screen on and off. Rather I use Screen ON & OFF app from play store.
And I am not rooted.

1. Many customs roms allow this. I recommend cyanogenmod or paranoidandroid (link in sig).
2. You can do this from the built in contacts/People app.
3. Touch Control: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.paranoid.touchcontrol

Thank you very much guys. filthykid, I can't find Screen ON & OFF app in the play store. I just found some apps that lock the screen. For unlocking I think is required root and touch control, isn't it?
I'm on CM 10.1 and it has the feature you are looking for.

Does it have the unlock screen with swype option? I mean, as touch control does with slide2wake

The touch control features are not ROM related. You will need a compatible kernel. The touch control app offers you a stock kernel with module support to enable the slide2wake features. Or you can flash another custom kernel like francokernel or trinity, they also support touch control. The stock CM10.1 kernel does not support touch control.

can u tell us a app that doesn't use proximity sensor for locking and unlocking phone and DOES NOT require root. In short app that have features like tap to wake,slide to wake but without needing root?
To avoid using power button for screen off (I Hate using power button) there are couple of options.
1. Touch control - But I think requires root and specific kernel
2. Lots of apps which give shortcut on screen to sleep
3. I dont know about stock but some ROM provides go to sleep option in toggle shortcut
4. There are apps (Intellicover, tap tap app, smart screen off, smart cover) which uses proximity sensor to do that. Either Tap or hide etc in option to do that.
Recently I bout flip cover for my N4 and using smart cover app which works great. Wakes up and sleep with cover open and close. I removed lock screen too.

I use the app attached in the SC. It has tap to wake or wave.. BUT that too on proximity sensor. But trust me it works absolutely perfect. Been using it since Jan 2013.

There was one of this name.. I used it initially but it didn't work so I deleted it. Then I started using Screen OFF and Lock (Donate). However you can use its free version Here.
And for waking up the phone without using Power button, I use Smart Screen ON.
Screenshots attached for reference. I am also attaching an extra SC to show Power Toggles.
Hit Thanks, if this helped ppl
Hi guys. I tried the "non rooted" version using Smart Screen ON for waking up and "the rooted" version with Touch Control. I can conclude Touch Control is a way better because Smart Screen ON makes the phone wake up and unlock when it is in the poket. How is you experience?

Never happened with me. I "sometimes" vibrant when i am holding it in my hands and just moving it here and there but that has no effect on my battery. I easily get 4 hours OST. Which i used to get even when the device was new and empty.

other than using the power button to turn it on, and crossing my fingers that this will get re-enabled in Android 4.5/5 around July/August, no :/
Also annoyed that the auto-brightness+ setting is now gone, but that at least was fixable through the Lux app.
Brightness button did not disappear on mine. Sprint S4
Any solution for the home button?

Couple alternatives. Wanam with Xposed could fix it. Also, a different launcher would let you set it too.

Thx bud,
I don't think that the prob is from the launcher, as it doesn't work with other launchers neither (I don't use TW, also it is working normally with s-view cover opened).
I have Wanam with xposed, but don't find any option like that... could you help me out? Thx a lot!
I found another strange issue, don't know if you have it , too. If I deactivate auto-unlock when I open s-view cover, it still unlocks when I open it... even after restart.
Edit: Found the solution for other issue: Nils Notification was set to always unlock when cover opened, nothing to do with rom... My fault

In Wanam, under System, there is a section for Long Home key behavior, can you not, Launch S Voice from there?
I use Google Now, and this is how I launch that.
