Judba on IRC and I have been looking at this for a while, and its been stumping us because the key mappings are already set for it to wake the phone from sleep.
As you know, only the power button currently wakes the device.
This patch will enable the wake on volume function.
Credit jcase, rhcp, and myself.
jcase and rhcp figured out the modification needed, I decompiled and recompiled.
Use this at your own risk. Only tested with BAMF roms.

Nice, been hoping for this.....thanks!
Great work. The number of mods and ROMs and kernels are increasing so fast. Good jobs every dev.
This might get me to finally root my Thunderbolt.
Does it put it to sleep too?

Good job dev's!

I hope not. . Otherwise it would kind of be worthless for volume control. . But yes good question.
My volume button is pretty sensitive. I can see this turning my phone on in my pocket all the time.
Besides that, I use WidgetLocker.
Nice job, devs! I'm sure a lot of people will love this mod.
Cool, I've been wanting this
Gonna give this a shot, might take some getting used to. Thanks guys.

If you do not mind losing your lock screen then there is an appropriate called No Lock in the market that does this too
installing right now, running virus r1b3, let you know what happens
*Crashed on boot, had to battery pull...
*Seems to work fine now, I hate battery pulls..
BUT GOOD WORK, THANKS!!!
Wooot Thanks! It's so difficult hitting that power button, much preferred the Droid 1's power button - closer to the edge of the phone. AWESOME.

title says it all; its a PITA to reach around through the case to turn the screen on all the time, and, even though the screen is supposed to come on when you push the menu key on the hardware keyboard, it doesnt work that way, at least for me..
Can anyone offer any other suggestions?
I know once I root this, there will be other choices, but, I want to learn more about the device before I root it
thanks so much for your help!
no, since xoom doesnt have soft keys so the only way to turn the screen on its to touch the power button. in other terms if you want to wake the xoom up when screen is off you need to press power button.
hopefully, some one will develop a software fix
for this; I cant be the only person that is annoyed by this..
thanks!
What's so hard about pressing the power button?
Sent from my CM7 - EVO via XDA App
if you have the motorola folio case on it, its a pain reaching through the cut out every few minutes to turn the screen on..
Idk if it works on the xoom but simply lockscreen on the market has a feature that uses the devices proximity sensor to unlock the phone, it might be just what you are looking for. Like I said, not sure about compatibility but the developer is pretty active here on xda and he might be able to figure something out.

The Xoom does not have a proximity sensor. One developer that frequents the forms and gave us all a screenshot app for the Xoom for free, has an App Killswitch which does the opposite action that you want. When you close the case, the light sensor senses the darkness and turns the screen off. It would take more battery but likewise would be possible to do it the way you wish when opening the cover. Maybe if we ask nicely, he can make it happen
well, I installed nolock, from the market, and it reduces the steps to one to get the screen on; when you push the power button, there is no lock screen to go through, which helps, but I wish there was a way to wake it up with either the keyboard, or just tapping the screen..
I'm sure this will come one of these days..
EDIT: It only works sometimes, not ready for 3.0 I guess....
It is possible but will not work until we have a deodexed ROM. The is a way to remap the volume keys to wake the screen but as soon as the keyguard kicks in the volume keys are disabled. With a deodexed ROM I can disable keyguard. An alterative option I might be able to work out is to wake the screen with a paired keyboard via blurtooth. So far in my testing this is working well.
Basically I have mapped the F1 key on my keyboard to wake/sleep the Xoom.

Try to push the below file using adb ... you need root for this to work. After rebooting the right ctrl key on the Motorola keyboard should become a power button for you. Let the screen goto sleep for a few minutes and attempt to wake it using the button. Let me know if this works.
Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?hsqqsehpcjr812t
ADB PUSH:
adb remount
adb push Vendor_22b8_Product_093d.kl \system\usr\keylayout\Vendor_22b8_Product_093d.kl
adb reboot
Make sure you unplug the USB cable before testing. I think while it is plugged into USB keyguard is disabled.

I appreciate it man, but I haven't rooted the xoom yet..
I want to wait a bit, and learn it better before I do.
Even when I got my evo last june, I waited a few weeks b4 rooting to learn it beter.
thank you for the file!
This has been discussed many times on this forum.
Long story short, I agree with you, especially since I leave the xoom on a table during a meeting. My solution...I downloaded Widgetsoid2.x. Among other widgets, I have a no turn-off widget on my main page. walking into a meeting, i hit it, forcing the xoom to stay on. obviously kills the battery, but i still get two full days.
not pretty, but it works.

I personally don't like the power button placement myself. It's all personal preference. But that's the benefit of getting and Android platform right? If something doesn't quite fit our preference we can personalize it. I think that's all the OP is asking for.

Posted the how-to in the dev section for Moto/Apple/Generic Bluetooth keyboards for those interested.
What is that you are doing that it is going to sleep? The easiest thing would be not to let it sleep so quick. Set the timeout to 15 minutes or something.
I guess I am still treating this like my EVO, which, doesnt get the best battery life if you leave it on too long..this thing gets awesum battery life, so I think I wll start leaving the screen on longer, until someone comes up with software that will wake it up easily..

Yes although the finger print scanner is cool and all, it sucks that you have to pick up the phone to actually use it. Most of the time at work my phone is on the desk beside my keyboard and I don't really want to pick up/lift the phone just to wake it. It's much easier to us 1 finger and swipe across to wake it.
+1 for this. Would be awesome to have on my atrix. I haven't used the fingerprint scanner since I switched to CM7 it is cool but I agree that it's inconveniently located on the phone. this feature would be nice to have if at all possible.

You need to build and integrate this from source

ideally, you want to keep the capacitive sensors open to input, then the math from there. i simple dont have the source or know how to do this myself.
Be warned, this drains excessive battery unnecessarily. Cool feature to show off, but prepare to charge your phone more often.

Well, I haven't got any statistics on me. I'm from the Desire S forum, we have the same specs. Some guys reported an increased mah drainage. in sleep we had 8-9mah, with the kernel mod, we had 14-15mah.
If someone can port this to DHD, you can ask LorD ClockaN to add this in his kernel.

Hmm, I guess it isn't too bad, as you can refine the Rom to get as low as 2-3 maH before the mod.

i dont mean changing the volume buttons to skip tracks, I meant holding the button down to skip tracks. I guess I should've made that clear. All of the Roms I ran on my last phone had this feature. It was either baked in or it was a flashable mod.
And ROFLMFAO at iPhone!!!! Ur in the wrong place buddy
Working fine on CM9
I'm honestly surprised no one has made an app available on the market that makes this feature available. I personally believe there is potential money to be made with this idea. I'm no Dev, but from what I understand it involves manipulating the framework files which may vary from phone to phone. Might be why this app doesn't exist? Just to clarify, I'm talking about the way it's implemented on CyanogenMod and some other custom ROMS, not "shake to skip" or one of these other apps that are currently available. I believe the CM style is the type of implementation the OP is talking about.
Super bump
Why they don't include this stock boggles my mind. This seriously should be a basic feature. I miss this so my about cm7 on my dx.
would love a flashable mod for this! i miss this the most from my previous htc incredible
I'm sure some Dev can shine some light on this topic. Spread the word ppl!
Hello guys!
Been lurking, but this is my first post and first of all I just wanted to say this: big fan of what's going on in this forum! Love seeing the positive atmosphere and intelligent projects being posted here!
So to my somewhat small question(?), I'm coming from iOS, and once you jailbroke it, you were able to install a tweak which made you able to skip songs by doing a longer pressing down of the volume bar. It was really convenient, because then you could skip backwards, forwards, and even start/stop the songs without pulling your phone out.
So, is there anything similar to this for the Android? Maybe a ROM that has it or something?
See you guys around

With Android you don't need to root/jailbreak your phone to get these feauters, are you using OnePlus 2, if yes, Go to settings> Gestures you can find all amazing features you can do without even switching your phone screen on.

Thank you for your reply krishna442!
However, it seems I'm only able to turn on four gestures, and they're all bound to touching the screen, which in turn means I have to pull my phone out of the pocket. It may seem like a small thing, but I really miss that one small thing from the iOS. Being able to change songs while running/when having tight pants and the hassle that brings about (haha) and such.
What I'm looking for is a hardware gesture, bound to the volume buttons, and from what I can see, that does not exist.
Oh, forgot to say, I'm using OxygenOS 2.2.1.

Have a nice stay at Xda.
You don't need to flash a new ROM to do this. You just need Poweramp, which is generally regarded as one of the best music players on Android, and Pocket Skip Track. This will let you skip tracks on a double press of the volume buttons (but only when the screen is off). If you're rooted and use a kernel set to Permissive mode you can set it to work on long press as well, but double clicks are fine for me.
I think it's possible using xposed+gravitybox
