Lock screen alternative

I hope I'm wording this right, but for my slide the only way to wake it up is to press the top power button. Even though I try to press the home or menu buttons it still remains in sleep mode. I would like to able to press menu or any of the face button keys to wake the phone up. Instead of having to go out of my way to hit the very top. Thanks in advance.

Are you using a CM based rom? If yes, go to Settings > Cyanogen Mod Settings > Input Settings and check off Trackball Wake.
If no... I think the only button aside from power that will wake it is the trackpad.
If u are stock then the trackpad should work. At least it did for me.

Back Button App for physical keyboard

There's a search button and menu button but no back button on the physical keyboard. Somebody should make a mini app that acts as a back button, so we could assign 1 of our 3 keys to the app and have that functionability.
I live in very cold weather and between my fingers getting so cold the buttons wont recognize my press or wearing gloves and having to remove them to hit one of the buttons, this could be a useful app for people (me).
Also a home button app could work as well for them.
What do ya think?

[Q] How do you handle not having a menu button?

Many uses I'm missing out on. Example if I'm browsing a site and want to open another window, what do I do?
Or
While in any app how would I access the menu or option settings?
What ROM are you using? If it's stock B&N software, is it rooted?
If you're using CyanogenMod, then you can turn on a set of buttons in the status bar that will replace the missing hardware buttons, much like on a Honeycomb device. It's in the Settings menu under Tablet Tweaks.
If you're using stock, you can install an app called SoftKeys or Button Savior and have it pop up a set of on-screen keys (menu, search, back, home, etc) whenever you press the "n" hardware button. You won't be able to install either unless you've rooted the device first, though.
Two applications: Button Savior or Soft Keys
I'm probably in the minority here, but I'm a big fan of zMooth.
You could also search for Nook Color keysmod and remap one of your volume buttons as Menu.
Keysmod is what works best. You'll have both menu and back buttons that's so convenient especially in landscape. Partner it with recent plus for adjusting volumes in-game and invisibright whenever you can pull up your notification bar.

I use "Virtual Button Bar" in MIUI. it can be set to extend the buttons from a trigger point, or to be permanently extended and float.

[Q] Can I remap the "tile" button to be a "menu" button on press?

I am currently using an HTC Evo that has CM10 that allows button remapping. I am using the "tile" or rather the far right button next to the "home" button as my menu button and I love it since every program has the menu button in a different place.
Is there a way to remap the press of the far right button to menu, and then have it so when it's held it performs its normal "tile" function? Thank you.
Anyone know about remapping the 3 buttons on the bottom?
