[Q] Use Trackpad for wakeup

Hi Everyone,
I have a question.
I want to use the big black touch button on the front of my Desire Z to wake up the screen.
I know it is possible, but i don't know how. I already rooted it and followed the S-OFF method. Can someone tell me how to use the front button as wake-up button?
Thanks in advance!
Dennus

You can allso try the app 'widget locker' from the appstore.
It does this for me and i don't need root

Yeh, I think this is the most reliable method at the moment, the other known mods are currently inconsistent.

I bought widget locker, how do you set it so that only the trackpad button wake is enabled and not this other lockscreen stuff! I can't seem to enable the trackpad wake without it!

That one worked fine for me, no other stuff to get in the way, just does the one thing.

[Q] REMAPPING buttons

wondering,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836702
reading that, i remapped my G button to ENDCALL. i was wondering, the faves soft button on the bottom of the screen, what number button is that and can that be edited to map to something else? like say browser or gmail or sms, etc.

I would like to know too if there's a way to change that soft button without having to root the phone. I absolutely hate that damn soft button, it's wasting one off my app spots

you mean on the dock? LP lets you change your dock around and you dont need to be rooted for that.

what is LP?
and no we are talking about the faves button on the bottom of the screen on the right next to the applications menu soft key.
[PHONE][APPLICATIONS][FAV]
^^^If that helps
i know some buttons have numbers assigned to them (like button 183, 204, etc) but no idea what button or where the file to edit for above mentioned key would be located. im thinking it may be in the sense theme itself since other themes have different buttons?

Sorry. LP = Launcher Pro, which you can get from the market. And yes it lets you change that.

It is not edited the same way. It is much more complicated. But you can go over to my thread and download the mod to change your "Faves" button on the MySense launcher. You must be rooted though.

[Q] Making the volume Buttons more productive...

Is it possible to change the function of the Volume Control Buttons?
I find their existance to be the most useless thign ever, I never have my phone off top volume...unless I have muted it...
So, any chance of making these do something more useful?
I've had a quick search, but I'm pretty dumb!

Use Lockbot Pro..its a customisable lock screen for Wildfire..it also lets us wake/unlock the screen using volume buttons...

Jamie,
I had a HTC Magic, which drowned in Greece salty water.
I managed to do the CPR, but the volume buttons died but the phone is stil working.
I cannot tell you how annoying is to not have volume buttons when u need it ....
I installed an application that can modify volume.

You can use the volume buttons to change tracks in latest CM7 nightlys.

No froyo trackpad wake patch?

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

Home button (trackpad) not working

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!
