Ok I've been searching for this like a crazy person but haven't found any really useful information about this.
I have a MT4G which doesn't work well with trackpad wake, so I would like to know if there are more roms out there that do NOT have the trackpad wake feature enabled.
I know that cm7 has an option to disable it and also I have a sense rom that was patched to disable this feature... but switching between just 2 roms is a little bit limitating... so... does anybody know about some other roms that do NOT wake the phone using the trackpad? only the power button? maybe ported roms from other devices that do not have trackpads? anyone?
Thanks for reading this and I really hope you can help me find more roms

If trackpad wake doesn't work for you, don't use it.

DARKSIDE Sense v3.3 (Sense 3.5) was really solid and didn't come with trackpad wake, if I recall. Had menu and back wake, I think. Power wake too, of course.They all have that. Even Roms with trackpad wake can be woken up with power button.

Virtuous Affinity 2.05 has a setting to disable track pad wake. It is a VERY nice ROM. Very few problems. You do have to install the Amaze Camera (or any one of your choice) if you want the FFC to not be upside down.

Agreed. But if your looking for no track pad wake I reccomend this I have been using this as my daily driver .
As I learned in another thead, i believe you can wake it using the home button, almost as good as using trackpad. I think this works for IceColdSandwich and zips creamed glacier.
Button remapper
Appelflap has a way to fix this! Read this post:

We can use Button remapper.But there is NO trackpad key to remap in Zip's rom
In case you're looking for a newer ROM, Toasted Marshmallow runs JB and has no track pad wake.
Man if he's still looking then I feel sorry for him

Hi, do you have some news about waking up the Legend with the trackball? It is a little bit annoying to wake it up with power button and afterwards unlock the phone sliding your finger down. I am still searching for this feature across the internet.
If you will have some news or find a solution, please post it.
Nobody?

That's what I'm looking for too. Or anything else. Tap the screen and then slide unlock, or get rid of the unlock slide at all and use just power button etc etc. This HTC lock/unlock solution is just the worst one.
Hello,
I'm interrested in that too !
It is annoying to use the power button...
Any news yet ?
Thanks
hi yeah use No lock app
It simply disables the lock screen. Press the unlock/menu button just once and the screen turns on immediately.
I wrote a config file to unlock with menu and home button..
Trackpad button is different from others buttons! Kernel doesn't assign a code to trackpad.. I'm taking a patch from desire's forum and i'm trying to apply it to legend kernel..
instead of power button plus swipe, you can do power button plus menu button
i'm interested in this
Yes it works!
Root is needed and a kernel compiled by myself needed too..
(i add those patch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703539 )
No root necessary!
I just randomly came across this... Downloaded a free app called "No Lock" (BoD ) which obviously removes the lock from the screen, but it also enables any button including the track ball, volume keys, menu, search... (you get the point) to turn on the phone screen. Its up to you guys but since there is no hardware button for making calls I dont really see any problem with pocket dialing - just no lock Also, there are programs to solve that such as chompsms which lets you do pattern lock to use it...and there are others to cover all apps too. Hopefully this helps someone.
Sorry - Just saw a few posts down the same thing was posted. I guess I wont completely erase mine tho since I evplain it a bit more if there are noobs reading.
I dont have access to the market right now, can someone kind enough upload the APK for No Lock?
i really really need a way to wake up my legend with a key other than power as it is acting funny.
thanks a lot in advance...

Thank you guys! I really appreciate it
But unfortunately this doesnt work for me... I think on Froyo there is no way around this. as my power button doesnt always work im going to downgrade to 2.1 and then use a custom froyo rom with this ability or maybe just stick with 2.1 for the time being...
a little update on froyo!
it seems that when you are charging your phone and using a program to disable sense keylock you can wake up your device. so I think on froyo they have prevented other keys to have power and be active....

thats interesting and i can confirm thats how my phone is working too...i just prefer using any key to wake up so my power button doesnt die quicker than it would normally
I am posting the timely reply to my email from the developer of the highly popular No Lock app, that many of us have been using for waking up our Nexus One with the trackball until we installed Gingerbread 2.3.3, for you wizards to possibly lend assistance to the developer . I questioned the developer as to getting a change done to the app so we could again enjoy the wonderful benefit of the app in waking up our phones with the trackball. Perhaps with the great knowledge base of our XDA members we can help him find a path to a fix of this most needed app. (especially those with a non functioning power button) He can be sent an email directly from the No Lock app in the Market. Let us all hope for a breakthru.
Here is his reply:
"Hi!
I wish I could do something. Unfortunately this is not in my hands
Normally my app is supposed to work exactly the same on all the devices,
and all the versions of Android. But in the real world, this is not the
case, and there is really nothing I can do about it.
On certain models, the app doesn't even work at all, and I have no idea why!
Have a nice day"
Trackball wake
I got the same formulaic reply. Obviously this developer isn't interested in fixing it on his own and perhaps we'll have to live with that. Trackball wake doesn't work with stock ROM on Anylock either, so it's a generic problem.
I also hope somebody can fix this (before my Vol key dies!)
The developer of widgetlocker commented on the trackball wake issue. It's something about pressing the trackball no longer dispatch event when the screen is off, therefore there is no way for an app to detect trackball press.

Loving GB - missing my wake on trackball!!
This is a behavior changing issue.
hope someone can make a trackball wake later..
No Lock app would be great to use with GB trackball! Hopefully it's developer will have a fix...in the meantime I'm using No Lock and the Volume button to wake my N1.
Am I missing something about trackball wake? I'm running CM7 nightly #7 and using Widget Locker with the "any hardware button unlock" feature enabled and my trackball wakes my phone just fine (even though I prefer to use the volume keys instead). Our is this an issue on stock 2.3.3?

Yes. It used to be that you could just get an app to add this functionality, but now, you have to change it at the rom level. So sure CM7 will work, but it's over the top for people who just want trackball wake to install a new rom.
Yep, i also asked the widgetlock dev about this issue. Sadly there seems to be no real fix to this.
i really hate the fact that i cannot use trackball wake anymore, especially since the power button of the nexus seems to be quite fragile and can become defect easily. There are many threads about buggy power buttons in this forums.
Workaround for me is also to use the volume buttons for display wake, which is ok, but i preferred trackball wake...
missed my trackball wake..
I normally just use the clock app to prevent my phone from locking. With Gingerbread, I also can't use the trackball to wake the phone anymore. Good thing the volume buttons still work.
Would it be so hard for Google devs to include in stock ROM an option which allowed trackball to wake up screen now that everybody knows how buggy power button is and making a good ROM even closer to perfect?
I know. I'm asking for far too much... Google listening to its customers...

yep. this will never happen. there are like a trillion bugs/tasks which are probably more important for Google than this very specific thing...
Is this possible by any means??
What I mean is we have trackpad wake, which is nice. But is there anything we can do so that when you long press the trackpad it locks the phone? Just an idea I've had floatin around..

Huh? How would this make the phone easier to unlock on your pocket? I think you misunderstand. The OP is asking about a feature to LOCK/SLEEP the phone using the trackpad button. Did you think he meant wake/unlock the phone?
A mod to wake the phone with the trackpad button already exists, and its pretty awesome. It turns on the screen, but does not unlock the phone, same as the "normal" power button. You still have to swipe to unlock. And doing so in your pocket is very unlikely.
Ahh u are correct....I mis-read his post. My apologies to the OP and its actually a pretty good idea!

Can take over the default long-press of the search button. And if your running CM7 you can change the search button to launch the app, so no need for a long press
Remap the trackpad press to the power button.
IE - it becomes the power button, you could then change the power button to something like Play/Pause, Trackpad, etc.
It will still boot with the power button, a remap only affects the Android system.
I have a nexus one with a broken sleep button, ive managed so far with it since Cyanogenmod had trackball Wake, but im getting real tired of it now, and i want a sense build. Is there someway i could enable trackball wake in sense? ive tried looking but found nothing. Thanks!!!
Check out No Lock or Widgetlocker in the market.
Or use a froyo sense build.
I'm running an ICS rom (Zips Creamed Glacier). On most ICS roms the track pad is useless from what ive seen. Is it possible to remap it to bring up the list of previous application rather than holding down the home button?
I've tried to add track pad wake/sleep for a bit now. Tried button rempper and even manually editing the glacier kepypad.kl file with an no go.

I'm hoping some one with more skills can figure it out.
i was actually wondering this myself...im so use to having that trackpad button functioning that using roms that dont have it working is just annoying to me...one of the main reasons i stick wit CM7...
but in relation to ur same question,what Roms besides CM7,actually have a functioning trackpad button?
