Lock screen alternative

I hope I'm wording this right, but for my slide the only way to wake it up is to press the top power button. Even though I try to press the home or menu buttons it still remains in sleep mode. I would like to able to press menu or any of the face button keys to wake the phone up. Instead of having to go out of my way to hit the very top. Thanks in advance.

Are you using a CM based rom? If yes, go to Settings > Cyanogen Mod Settings > Input Settings and check off Trackball Wake.
If no... I think the only button aside from power that will wake it is the trackpad.

If u are stock then the trackpad should work. At least it did for me.

[Q] How to prevent Arc from being ON in its case ?

Hello,
I noticed a few times that the phone was ON while in its case
Too bad for the battery
Is it possible to use proximity sensor to prevent that ?
Cheers

you can disable the home key from waking the phone up.. you need root and root explorer..

Cool,
I am root, and I have Root Explorer, but how do I achieve that ?
Cheers

ok..you need to use root explorer.
find the pm8058-keypad.kl file in /system/usr/keylayout folder
open the file in edit mode and delete the wake_dropped comment on the home key line.
save, reboot, done.

you could use the method I described above to add WAKE_DROPPED to the volume keys if you want it to?

Thanks for the suggestion but placing wake dropped on volume keys didn't work for me, I guess I'll just stick with power button then.

Back button broken? Get Button Savior from the market.

I believe you can edit each buttons function, but the back button is pretty much essential, so you would be better using search instead.
Just edit the file at
/system/usr/keylayout/bravo-keypad.kl
I havent tried it but i imagine you just look for the word search and replace with endcall.

Anyway, no search button, bind it to the trackball button or camera button...o wait...never mind.

If u r on cm7 then u can make use of power button to end calls.
Go to settings/accessibility and check the option there.
And as said above I believe u can edit the keyboard layout at /system/use/keylayout/

I find it not so bad thing to not have one button more. As you can still call Search function just simply holding Menu button down.
It works that way in every app and homescreen as you would have fourth button for Search function.
Press Home to get home, Long Press to have list of last used apps (for multitask)
Press Menu to get menu, Long Press to make a Search for app or homescreen
Press Back to get back, Long Press to kill front application (great on CM7)
Only thing what I wish I could do, is to bind menu button in home screen (now ADW Ex) to open Applist and not the menu of ADW.

ics button remapper

Using the button remapper app (on ics) I want to make the "genius" button. Function like a long pressed home button.. is this possible?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

Yet to see one...
I've been using alot of ICS roms, and have yet to see any that will allow button remapping. I think dev's are more worried about making it 100% stable and camera working 100%. Shouldn't be too long...

Using the app "button remapper" I changed genius. Button to act as a 2nd home key but could not see an option to make it act as a long press
