So it seem no one has been able to solve the trackpad wake for froyo then. The wildpuzzle patch doesn't work, third party apps like widget locker not working as confirmed by developer and others that keep the phone awake is useless since it drains battery.
What did Google do to the key layout?
Even cyanogen built-in setting doesn't work.

Ι use the tap tap app and it seems that this is the only app that works

Thanx for suggesting this app it does help saving to press the power, but I find it keeps my phone in the wake since the sensors always on thus draining battery. But it is better than the power button every time.

No that patch doesn't work on v0.8, it even locks all keys when the phone falls into deep sleep requiring power and trackpad buttons together to wake it up.
The app suggested by villis87 is the closest thing to avoid using the power button too much.

i've just flashed 0401 trackball wake up patch from old wildpuzzle thread on my wildpuzzle v.08 and as melvinchng said it works perfectly

I recently updated to DJ05 with both Super Clean .9 and Stupid Fast (Whatever the newest is.) A day later,everything is working fine except when I try to longpress to move a shortcut or widget. I receive a small vibration but no ability to move. I'm using Adwlauncher, as well.
Does anyone know what could cause this?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I have noticed the new adw launcher has an option to lock the desk top. If u press the menu soft key it may say unlock desk top. Just something to try sounds like it may be the cause
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
The latest ADW version kills long press. No idea why, it just does. Switch to LP or Touchwiz and you get the button back. Shortcut apps from the market have no effect. It caused me to buy LP+ and I regret not doing it sooner.
Lastly, this should be in general, not development.
ya if u mean voice search via long press of the search key it is messed up. However there is a work around for this as well. Double press the search key first to open the search then long press it to get to voice search. However in your original post it sounds more like the desktop is locked to me just unlock it and should be good

The desktop was indeed locked. Thank you guys.

Before developoing this app, I am using
1. Nolock
2. Flyscreen
3. lock widget
in order to
1. use any key to turn the phone on
2. use widget to turn off the phone
3. Use flyscreen to prevent the accident tap
However this combination is huge and invenient. So I deciced to develop a very small app (40k in size) it can
1. Use any key to turn on the phone
2. A widget turn phone off
3. A very simple lock screen to prevent accident tap.
Search AnyUnlock in Android Market and enjoy it. If there are any porblems, please report.
i like it!
perhaps you should include an option to enable or disable the 'lock screen to prevent the accidental tap.'

Yes, I will do that in next version.
It didn't work for my N1. I enabled the app, brought me to the 2nd window where I also enabled it and let the phone shut down and nothing, I had to use the power button to turn the screen back on. Back to nolock.
It was the way I installed it, working now but after installing gingerbread the trackball wake no longer wakes the screen, have to use the volume key. Still very effective but like the trackball wake.

Yes, there is a bug. If you don't allow the admin permission in the first time. The program will fail. You can disable it, uninstall it and reinstall to take effect.
I also couldn't pick up on an incoming call... it just went to the screen which shows the enable/disable anylock buttons. I couldn't press home or back. Uninstalled it for now.

I have updated to 1.2 with the option to disable simple lock screen. Also I tried to fix your phone call issue. Hopefully it is working.
OK 1.3 released with fixes to some non-n1 devices.
Works fantastic. After enabling the app I went back into settings and unchecked the lock screen. Now it works just the way I wanted. Thanks for the great app.

Interesting app since my power button is acting up, Thanks.

You can have a try. The power button is quite vunerable for HTC devices. I hope Android would make an official option to power on the device using any keys.
works brilliantly now! thanks.
maybe you should put in the description in the market that no root is required.
and an option to still use the slider when unlocking? that would be my favorite option.
just pressing the track ball brings you to the unlocking screen with the slider.
This is super awesome, thanks for making this!
Curious, what specific activity does the widget call? I would like to be able to shut the screen off using other things (dock swipe up, tasker, custom widget) etc. is it an android acitivity or one that is specific to AnyUnlock?
I tried each of the 4 or 5 activities in AnyUnlock but they didn't work.
Thanks for making this!

Just updated to Gingerbread on N1 and the trackball doesn't wake anymore, but volume button still works.
I can also confirm the trackball doesn't work to wake the screen up, but the volume buttons still do.
Hopefully the trackball wake issue will be resolved for gingerbread.

Yup, I noticed this also with other apps that disable the lockscreen (like Switchpro)
That's too bad.
No Lock too from what another user has stated. There's no way i'm changing from CM7 if there's no possibility of trackball wake!
Does this app just Wake the N1 or does it power ON a device which is powered off ?
I can already wake via the trackball using CM6 , but I need something which will Power it ON as my power button is broken.

I can also confirm trackball doesn't wake screen but the volume key will. Hopefully the dev. can fix this issue.
Thanks for a great app.
PS Will donate when trackball is fixed.
Hmm, it seems like the trackpad (home button) doesn't work.
Well it works as a trackpad and can select items and open them and all that, but when I want to try and start the phone, it doesn't work. I have to use the power button for that.
It started when I upgraded from Froyo HTC Sense to CM7 Gingerbread.
Is there an app out there that enables it again?

you should go through and learn the CM settings, there are a few different settings that allow you to wake the phone and unlock it with the trackpad
menu>settings>cyanogenmod settings>input>then check trackball wake
and if you want it for unlock also then
menu>settings>cyanogenmod settings>lockscreen settings>unlock options and check the trackball unlock
Oh okay. I see it. One more thing, is there a way where I can make the phone vibrate when I get a text message? The phone doesn't vibrate when I put the phone on vibrate

np bro, feel free to pm me any questions you have about CM roms, as they seem to be what i am on the most, that or the liquid metal ports, but i am still learning them, so it is a little rough for me at times, but i am always happy to help when i can!!
Happy modding bro!

is there a way to do that on a sense rom?
So is there anyone that has developed something that will allow you to get rid of the unlock screen completely? I think it would be nice to just be able to hit the button and not have to slide the screen every time.
i havent used this app so i dont know if it works or not but it does what you want.

I use Battery Indicator Pro. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.darshancomputing.BatteryIndicatorPro
The free version can't disable the lockscreen.
Just search for "disable lockscreen on the market.
Awesome! Thanks you guys!
On CM7 there is a feature for disabling the lockscreen.

Except that it re-enables all the time. (Issue 2121 on the Bug Tracker).
Been waiting a long time for this to be fixed.
I know there is a app that uses your proximity sensor to detect if the phone is in your pocket, and if not it will unlock your phone when you press the power button.
Going trough my app list now.
Edit:
Found it, it's called Intelligent Keylock Unlocker

I found the same, BUT!
Disabling instead from the recently added 'Tablet Tweaks' menu means it stays disabled. No idea what's wrong with the other disable methods, but this one works. Yay!

Now i can reconfigure my Power Widget as i don't need that particular toggle switch any more!
Theres an app on the market called no lock. all it does is gets rid of the lock screen. I was using battery indicator pro for it but hated the notification that was always there.

For about a week or so now, My camera keeps popping up, and taking pictures without me knowing, or when I'm in the middle of something when the screen is on. I've look at countless threads on other phones and it seems to be successful for others, But I'm guessing this device isn't similar. Anyone have any clue on how to disable the camera button on the side?
I'm on 4.2 and sometimes my pocket can unlock trigger the camera from the lock screen. If that's the case, there's lock screen policy in the market.
Theres also button remapper somewhere on xda to disable the camera button. Can't search since I don't have my computer with me.

Thanks for the heads-up on lock screen policy. I always hated pulling out my phone to see the camera was on.
