Hi, I want to unlock my device with search button so i edited the /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
its like that;
key 217 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
key 127 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
It is perfectly locks the screen but it doesnt unlock. I tried lots of settings but i couldnt done. What should i do? What should i change?
I'm not much into this stuff, but shouldn't the key code be the same in both lines ?
I've removed the dropped from both of the lines and now I can unlock the device. But I can't lock the device
There could be a code on Spare Parts that changes the function of the detach button or something related to CM settings.
Can anybody try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464

One is for not sleeping mod and the other one is for sleeping mod i think. Both of them was the search button in default so i did it that way.

Sorry for weak English.
I've changed 'key 217' from SEARCH to POWER but it doesn't really behave as a POWER button after locking the screen.

I think there is a problem with search button function after locking the screen. I found that when im listening music then i lock the screen with search button and wait for 5-10 secs. then press the search button and the phone wakes up. So search button doesn't work properly when the phone is locked. So what we should do now?

The power button enables the device to sleep and to access the power menu (like reboot, power off, etc.). The method that is showed here of modifying other buttons to a power button only applies within the Android system.
Does anyone know how to lock the screen using the search button????

Currently we are capable of locking the device but the unlocking has a significant glitch or error.

MANUALLY:
On a root exploring app, go to '/system/usr/keylayout/'. Then find the file 'qwerty.kl' and then open it with a text editor. You'll see there are lots of information on it. Find the line that contains:
Code:
key 217 SEARCH
Change the SEARCH to POWER and then save the file.
Restart your phone and then done!
AUTOMATIC:
Install 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=467998&d=1292740886 (Credits to appelflap)
OR copy the 'qwerty.kl' file inside this to '/system/keylayout/usr'.

Hi,
Would it be possible for someone here to create an app with the ability to solve the "only power-button activates the lock screen after standby" issue?
I'm thinking that this would be something a lot of Desire owners would see come in handy.
I would look into it myself, but not being a developer by profession my coding skills are zero. I've tried the app 'No Lock', but it just doesnt do it for me as my Desire wakes up in my pocket with the lockscreen deactivated.
(Couldn't find another thread regarding this, so forgive me if it's already been posted before.)

There is an app already called "myLock" which has an advanced mode that allows you to double press any button to unlock the screen, just don't use it with the HTC pattern lock as it messes up.
+1 for this.
Btw, you can try LockBot. It is neat, but the disadvantage is that once you get a call, the lock deactivates, which is plain irritating. If you are carrying your cell in your pocket and you receive a call, it might happen that not only the call gets answered/rejected but it can start dialing some random numbers as well! has happened to me once.
So its not perfect, but it works ok.
I just hated pressing the power button every time i had to unlock the phone.
Thanks. This is actually a usefull tool, and does the job well. However, i'd still like a tool that lets me choose a specific button for activating the unlock slider screen, as id like to keep the slider.
But thanks for the advice.

I've been using myLock for a few days now and updated this morning. I don't see the advanced features.
It's under mode select for me, press where it says auto unlock.
I believe this is what you want.
I press the menu button to wake up the phone, and menu or slide to unlock it.

Hi,
its my second day with HTC Legend..
I love it, its totaly nice but i just have a quistion !
is there any way to give all keys the ability to wake up the device
then i touch the screen to unlock it ? i think it would be better than
waking up device by pressing Power key ! and it will save power key
pressing counts..
in other way the screen is already locked and we have to unlock it
after waking up the device !
so, Why not to "wake up" the Legend by pressing any key ?
i want to know why they did not put this option
and if there is any way to fix it ...
Thanks..
Hey man, had the same issue myself and a free app in the market fixed it.
Search nolock and grab it up

Check out the NeonMod or Azure ROMs. Both have the ability to wake screen using the trackball button or menu button.

There should be an app called Market. Android Market. It's where you go to download apps, which is the whole point of smartphones

I want any way, app or trick just to allow me wake up the device without power key, and i dont want to disable the "htc locked screen"
Please help me..
thanks all
Could you finally access the Android Market? If not, tap the screen on that left soft buton (the one with the small arrow) and a list with all installed apps will pop up.
Search for an icon called Market with an icon like a bag (someting like the one attached)
After pressing it you'll enter in "the market". Look for an application (you have a search at the top of the screen) called FlyScreen. It's a screen locking utility that brings you something similar to Froyo one, with lots of options (including placing widgets on the lockscreen). Besides that, press on any device buton to wake it up then slide it to unlock. The only bug I've found was that pressing Home buton wil give you the homescreen instantly, without the need to unlock the device.
Let me know if it's ok for you
no market in my device and noway to install it, i tried everything its something with software policy in some areas, and my phone is not rooted , i dont wanna break the warranty
Did anyone ever find a way - other than installing a custom ROM - to do this? It sounds like NoLock just enables/disables the lockscreen, and what I (and the OP) want is to be able to wake the screen up with the home or trackball button.
Any ideas?
Cheers
did you find any way ? am still looking but nothing found !
and i dont wanna root my phone..
it almost be impossible in a simple way without modifying "/system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl" file. But modifying this file requires real root or recovery mode.

Weird, because I was using No Lock and it removed lock screen and gave me an option to wake my Legend with press on any key. It basically wasn't a good idea, since I pressed vol up/down by accident far too many times.
The no lock app works. No lock and wakes up on any key including the volume keys (not a good idea). The widget solves my problem though. I keep it unlocked when at work, but keep it locked otherwise. Doing it manually now.
Would love an app that can do it automatically
Guys, I told you that you can use FlyScreen for what you need. For those who don't have access to the Android Market, I've found a topic on this forum that has also link to download the .APK from MegaUpload (you find the link HERE)
With this small application, you're replacing the default lockscreen and also you can wake the phone by pressing any hard button not only power. The drawback is that pressing Home, will get you on the homescreen without need for unlock. Test it if you like, anyhow the application is free.
Yeah, I got flyscreen but I can't figure out how to make it work.
When I enable "Lockscreen mode", every time I go to unlock my phone I get a "Please wait" message before I can actually unlock it. Even though I don't have any widgets on Flyscreen.
Does this happen with you?
No, for me worked from the beginning without any problems. I've initially used the weather widget but the red color was hurting my eyes so I've disabled it.
I don't know what advice to give, there are plenty of settings to try and you should also check their homepage for tips.
My power button is 80% corrupted and it is going to be 100% corrupted so can I fix it now before it be further corrupted or must I change it.(Is there another phone's power button similar to IDEOS X5's)
Thanks.
From now on you can use screen of and lock from play store. By that you can use your search button to lock screen.

Yeah, I'm using lock widget in the status bar but some times you need to use the button like turn on the phone or can't access your rom so if there is another phone's button similar to ours tell me.
Thanks anyway.

You mean all the time or only in lock screen?
I do not know of any way to completely disable them.
Some apps, like Full Screen Caller Id, let you disable them while the device is locked.

I see it sometimes when I pull my phone out of my pocket. I have no idea which combination of buttons/screen taps/ or whatever I'm doing to make it appear.
It's an LG memo app that came with the phone. If you double tap volume-up, it starts, bypassing the lock screen. I'm pretty sure you can change this in settings.
BTW, if you double tap volume-down, the camera app starts, bypassing the lock screen. THIS is very useful!

You can disable the memo app if it bothers you or you have no need for it.

That is the built-in screen capture. You may have been accidentally pressing the screen capture key. I can't remember anymore which one is the default, because I have re-assigned it somewhere else. You have the option to save it as image in Gallery app or the Quick Memo app.
