Simply using the trackpad button to wake the screen just as the lock button does.
first press-> wake screen, second press-> unlock
It was done to the Desire, it can be done for us.

+1 this would make my day.
Life would be awesome.
lockbot app does that, but it sometimes acts funny and doesnt work
i wouldn't be opposed to this. seems like a good idea.
We are already working on it but no luck yet. Don't worry, we will have it out soon for everyone.

if it does indeed require a modified kernel, hopefully somebody combines this with ejhart's under volted stock kernel because his low voltage kernel is kickass.
This is included in the cyanogenmod rom.
Works about 80% of the time. Still in early testing for the incredible though.

Negative. I have been running the cyangen rom and it works 0% of the time.
Hold down the track pad to wake then a short press to unlock on the cm rom. It works everytime for me.
Edit: you can also 'double click' the trackpad to wake and unlock quickly.

Nope. Not for me. No long presses or continuous clicking wakes for me. Just the good ol power button like usual.

Well all be damned ! There is a setting for it in the settings ??

I'll report back on the 80% effectiveness. So far I've only tried it twice and it worked on the first try both times...SWEET

I just bought the widget locker app from the market...BEST 2 DOLLARS EVER SPENT!!! You would not believe the features this app has. Rotary lockscreen, iphone lockscreen, widgets and shortcuts on your lockscreen. And, my favorite part, NO HAPTIC FEEDBACK ON THE SLIDER!!! I would definitly recomend this app
*I attached a screenshot. The second shot has the iphone slider. Third is sense pull-down
I actually just got this app this weekend so im fairly new to it. How'd you get all those different sliders like rotary, iphone, and sense.
Open WidgetLocker settings then check under 'Look & Feel' > 'Sliders & Layout'.

Cool thanks!
I like the app but the couldn't get the security pattern to work with it. It was either a double lockscreen with a pattern, or no pattern at all. If they had that working I'd buy it again
Meh. Its ok. Not quite the best two bucks I ever spent. Its a little slow starting and doesn't actually replace the stock lock screen so much as cover over it. When u wake the phone u see a flash of the stock slider before widget locker takes over. Petty, but that annoys me. Using unlock patterns with it is also flakey. I do like the app, but in its current state its more the quality of a free app. Hopefully they continue to dev and provide some updates. If not, I don't figure ill be using it long.
That about sums it up. Neat app, needs work. If you have 2 bucks to spare, give it a try.

Hmmm, to bad. The settings are really touchy and you definitly dont have it right if your seeing the stock lockscreen when you wake the phone. To bad people put negative feedback out there when they dont even know how it works, see it all the time with apps in the market

I get same thing, the app can't open itself fast enough all the time to cover up the default lock screen. It is a cool app but not worth 2 dollars when there are so many apps out there that offer more for less.
No free app I know of let's you customize sliders and put widgets and shortcuts on the lock screen. You can bypass the 5 second transition from stock lock screen to widget locker in the settings.
Not meaning to sound negative. It is a cool app. I just expect a paid app to be a bit more refined. Less buggy, let's say. I will continue using and playing with it for a while.

some reboots when unlocking, and sometimes the stock lock screen appears before widget locker. I have changed the settings both using root bypass and home helper. Both of those options alleviate the issue, but do not fix it entirely.
I posted in the troubleshooting thread but I know people are going to be looking for this and it still hasn't gotten a solution so I am making another thread by itself for this.
Is there a way to disable to volume button on the EVO Shift as every time i close it I hit it and end up muting it. Is there an app or something to disable buttons?
Thanks,

Same thing happens to me. I wish I could just lock the volume in-place and not worry about it.
have you guys noticed you can go from max volume to vibrate in like 1 second flat if you hold the rocker down? i was amazed... i think we might actually have to fix this one guys haha

The ButtonRemapper seems pretty cool except its got a huge security hole, it requires perm r/w to your system directory. I would not recomend that program. I would be interested in the volume locker, is that found in the app store?

Which keyboard are you using? I have had problems using Swype in the Google Search app and I can only use the Swype keyboard in Quickoffice. I mainly use Swiftkey but that has become inconsistent.
The area around the capacitative buttons is sensitive to touch. If you by accident touch in that area the phone becomes touch insensitive....

The screen becomes unresponsive if you touch the area left to the menu button or right to the search button. In landscape mode the area that is now under the menu button is often accidentally touched by myself and the entire screen is unresponsive. Maybe if they wouldn't had disabled multi finger touch it wouldn't be a problem.

Yeah, there have been issues quite a bit but it always seems someone is using a different launcher. Maybe there needs to be some updates to these launchers to run atop of Blur. Another I noticed is that when I download a 3rd party launcher it automatically uses that launcher as default and when i go into settings I can't remove the Default for it so that might have something to do with it. Have you also done a reboot lately? After a reboot I notice that my phone decides to check the "Stay Awake" option under Applications>Development by itself. So maybe there something to that as well.

Weird, it was doing it before I rooted and after. And I must have tried a dozen different launcher apps and not once has it asked me to change the default. Of course, I only had one installed at a time. Do you just have LP installed or do you have others?

I have others installed but I don't really mess with em. I only have em while experimenting with what launcher I wanted. But I dabble with em on occasion. But if you hit the home key and haven't picked a default it should give u the option to pick your launcher and just under the launchers is a box that says" set as default"

Yes, I'm aware of that but if you only had one 3rd party launcher installed it won't ask to set it to default. If you want you can uninstall all of your launchers til you're back to Blur and then just download one of them and then hit Home and it will automatically go to the new launcher.
You really don't have to but it does happen that way which tells me that Blur (and all the settings it holds prominence over) is easily manipulated by a different launcher. Have you noticed you can still use all the MotoBlur widgets even while using LP? Can't do that on an HTC Sense phone.

they have really improved the power button on DHD over the Desire...Ive had my Desire button replaced already...because its not flushed and the design means that it protrudes a little out from the body slightly, feels flimsy after a few months...DHD feels much better, I think its because of the internal design...
to open screen you can use tap tap app and to close it use screen off app. in this way you can protect your power button.
Yea I used that tap tap app just brush ya finger over sensor on the top right hand corner and it works really like it personally

Hmm, I haven't used this before, but I'm liking the sound of it. There are quite a lot of apps that don't work yet on Gingerbread, I don't know of any alternatives, but it's likely the developer will eventually get an update out for Gingerbread devices
I have no problem with my power button being too flush. It works fine how it is
