screen unlock question (home button only) - Galaxy 3 General

Hello
I managed to upgrade my phone to Froyo 2.2 JPF fw using ODIN and the files supplyed in the upgrade thread / development forum.
Now my problem is that i can only "unlock" the blank screen only with the "home" button then i need to slide the screen.
Isnt there any setup to tell my phone to use all buttons ... give me a visible screen for all buttons or something like that ?
I fear that my "home" button will wear off

You can unlock the screen also with double-click of "back" and "menu" buttons

Yep true.
I somehow figured out that but thanks
The question now remains ... what can i do with my superoneclick 1.5.5 rooted froyo 2.2 upgraded lagfixv2 fixed phone (gps fix remains still) ?
Why is now my phone a better one then it was with the 2.1 ?
What apps are there to be installed that couldnt be installed without rooting ?
Anyone can give me some tips / tricks ?
Can i somehow change the way it feels/looks ?
I want something more easy to use / more fancy
I saw videos of cyanogenmod that looks a bit better
Also the white stripe on the top of the screen vs the black of the samsung is much much better looking ... Just give me some starting point on what to do with your rooted samsung galaxy 3

Wake up Legend with trackball?

Hi, do you have some news about waking up the Legend with the trackball? It is a little bit annoying to wake it up with power button and afterwards unlock the phone sliding your finger down. I am still searching for this feature across the internet.
If you will have some news or find a solution, please post it.
Nobody?

That's what I'm looking for too. Or anything else. Tap the screen and then slide unlock, or get rid of the unlock slide at all and use just power button etc etc. This HTC lock/unlock solution is just the worst one.
Hello,
I'm interrested in that too !
It is annoying to use the power button...
Any news yet ?
Thanks
hi yeah use No lock app
It simply disables the lock screen. Press the unlock/menu button just once and the screen turns on immediately.
I wrote a config file to unlock with menu and home button..
Trackpad button is different from others buttons! Kernel doesn't assign a code to trackpad.. I'm taking a patch from desire's forum and i'm trying to apply it to legend kernel..
instead of power button plus swipe, you can do power button plus menu button
i'm interested in this
Yes it works!
Root is needed and a kernel compiled by myself needed too..
(i add those patch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703539 )
No root necessary!
I just randomly came across this... Downloaded a free app called "No Lock" (BoD ) which obviously removes the lock from the screen, but it also enables any button including the track ball, volume keys, menu, search... (you get the point) to turn on the phone screen. Its up to you guys but since there is no hardware button for making calls I dont really see any problem with pocket dialing - just no lock Also, there are programs to solve that such as chompsms which lets you do pattern lock to use it...and there are others to cover all apps too. Hopefully this helps someone.
Sorry - Just saw a few posts down the same thing was posted. I guess I wont completely erase mine tho since I evplain it a bit more if there are noobs reading.
I dont have access to the market right now, can someone kind enough upload the APK for No Lock?
i really really need a way to wake up my legend with a key other than power as it is acting funny.
thanks a lot in advance...
Go here h**p://m.umnet.com/DownloadIt.aspx?__ufps=199075
If it is not working go here:
h**p://m.umnet.com/DownloadIt.aspx and then write the number "612674" and GO... there you can download the APK

Thank you guys! I really appreciate it
But unfortunately this doesnt work for me... I think on Froyo there is no way around this. as my power button doesnt always work im going to downgrade to 2.1 and then use a custom froyo rom with this ability or maybe just stick with 2.1 for the time being...
a little update on froyo!
it seems that when you are charging your phone and using a program to disable sense keylock you can wake up your device. so I think on froyo they have prevented other keys to have power and be active....

How to remove default Slide Lock Screen?

Hey guys,
I recently downloaded an app called LockBot Pro. Which allows me to customize my own Lock Screen Slide, backgrounds and Unlocking sounds. My customize Lock Screen is running fine but I can't seem to get rid of the default Lock Screen. Like I'd have to unlock the default lock screen and then the other.. which is pretty annoying to be unlocking both. Especially when I'm in a hurry. Is there a way around this? I've tried deleting the HtcLockScreen.apk from the system but the default Lock Screen still stays.
I'm currently using;
HTC HD2
Chucky ROM
Matt Froyo 1.5
2.12 radio
Help me out yeah?
Thanks!
Hope you haven't wasted your money. Found out today that pressing <- and Windows key you can unlock Android in seconds with no lock screen required. I know, it happened in my trouser pocket!

Yeah...I purchased this app a long time ago on my MT3G and when it first came out it worked great...then the dev kept updating it and made it into a complete mess.
If you are still in your refund period, I would go that route.
I tried using it on the HD2 because I do not like the fact that I keep unlocking it in my pocket when hitting the windows key...and unfortunately, lockbot pro has become garbage.

Hitting any physical button followed by the windows key unlocks the phone...if anyone knows how to disable this, that would be great.

Must be the build of Android I'm using. I'm in too deep now to try another one! Thanks for the Avatar comment. LOVE Chopper. He's become a bit of a cult hit for me. Don't think many non-ozzie Brits know about him.

[Q] homekey setup on D2?

OK so I just got my D2 last week, and I have to admit its kind of a grows on ya thing. I also have an hd2 as my personal phone so im spoiled with the giant screen. D2 is much more responsive then my hd2 and dont get me started windows lame OS.
BUT....
Why is there no built in "home" key? when Im browsing there doesn't seem to be any way to get back to the desktop of my phone with out hitting the return button and exiting all applications.
Very annoying. And the whole bajillion apps running that can't be shut off. I bought an app that "freezes" them, so far so good. Why do I have to buy an app to open the cmd prompt?
and the searchsoft key. wtf nothing happens.
IS there any way I can hack and re-assign my keys to different functions?
I would like the search key (magnifying glass) to bring up google search any time i hit it, and my home key to always go back to the homescreen.
is this just me being a noob and cant git' r' done or is this a D2/android thing? THis is only my first week with the android operating system, I realy love it, really makes WM look like a pos. yeah and windows 7? it just ads more ghey to the old wm. stil sucks.
Any help would be nice thanks!
Are you using the stock ROM and launcher? or do you use launcher pro or ADW?
the home key should already be assigned to go back to the desktop as far as I know.
Hi yes I still have stock rom. Also my lockscreen doesn't work and when I push the keylock\power button it doesn't fully lock the screen as if I push the volume button the screen turns on. So im not sure what's up. Homekey as I said doesn't work anymore as well.isn't there someway to hack the phone to re assign keypad softkey function? Also none of these keys work on th KB as well. I still havnt upgraded to 2.3 yet. Seems like a hassle to unroot delete every thing and start over. Yes I have clockwork also TI backup pro
Any suggestions would be great

I don't use the stock launcher anymore. ADW and from what I hear LauncherPro both have preferences that change the home key assignment. I would upgrade to 2.3.20 though it's not a big of a hassle as you would think. I've sbf'd my phone twice and factory reseted everytime I upgrade a ROM. It doesn't take that long as long as you know what you are doing and you have backed up what you need. Google will remember your contacts and apps and settings if you tell it to. The only thing I have to setup are my non gmail email and a few apps that I have login info for. You don't have to unroot. You can just flash the new sbf and then re-root and you'll be updated (always flash with a full or near full battery) and I wouldn't be surprised if it fixed the problem. I've never heard of the soft key's not working on the stock ROM. They worked when I used it before we even had root.
The only way I can get my phone to wake with the volume button is to use "no lock" to turn of the lock screen. But if the lock screen is in place the only way to wake the phone is to press power and then use the sliders.

[HelP!]My Click's DiGitiser is Screwed !

Damn ! my touch panel i.e. Digitiser no longer works and for the time being do not have the budget to get it replaced.
And I have these issues in HIGH HOPE whether there is any solution :
Q1 - Is there a way to bypass the Android Robot on startup after flashing any of the CM7 ROM ?
Q2 - Any existing APK which enables full control of the on screen keyboard solely using the trackball ?
.... Wondering ?.....I have been forced to flash TolgaMod v1.2 because this is the only ROM which enables to screen unlock by pressing the menu button on start-up.
I really miss using the NB's
HELP....
