[Q] Double tap on home button to wake up the dell

Hi all,
is there a way to wake up the screen by double tapping the home button instead of pushing the on/off button?
many thanks

I dont think it is possible. That is like to tell a person to wake up in his dream.

Disable power pin on USB cable and it would stop charging...

Use widgetlocker and you can switch on with any button.

thanks a lot for your suggestion. I installed widgetlocker, but in no way I can wake up the display.
I can wak up the display by pressing the volume button or the on/off and the camera button, but in no way with the home button.
Do you can?

ix-nay the volume buttons
My biggest pet peeve with this phone (actually my only pet peeve) is the volume keys stick out so much and they annoyingly vibrate whenever theyre pressed. I want to kill the volume keys entirely as I get absolutely no benefit from them.
Ive been thinking about fixing that -- and disabling the volume buttons entirely. I assume its possible and will be trying out the remapping utility later today. I hope it can be done because its really annoying when I have **** in my arms and trying to open a door and my hand or something is pressing against the volume button.
I also thought about shaving down the protruding buttons so they were more flush with the phone but I figured I would try a dis-map.

Key mapping alternate power button

Curious as to whether anyone has attempted to remap one of the 4 buttons on the Shift as an alternate to the power button on the top of the phone.
Personally I can live w/o the "search" button, and if it's remapped to act as a second power on/on toggle, that'd.....be.....awesome.

I think the power button has to be a physical non-capacitive button. The 4 bottom buttons are just part of the screen and so will not respond to a touch if the screen is off.

Good point, I didn't even think of that. You're right.
Thanks!

Now if someone could get it to turn on after you did a double tap on the volume up button or something. That would be bad-ass.

This is a GREAT idea.

I'd like it if while in the camera app the volume keys worked as camera buttons.

This is the button remapper app thats been mentioned in other threads
I haven't tried it out yet though.

I know what you mean, like some sort of 'profile' based key mappings.

Downloaded and re-mapped the Volume Down button to work as an alternate Power button (since i just use toggle widgets and settings for volume anyway), and remapped Power button to open Camera. Great app!

It kind of sucks. Solution with holding multitasking button was better, because now you have to press button in the right moment and it takes a while to learn it.

I agree it sucks, I have an otter box on my Galaxy Nexus and its practically impossible to press it in the right spot... Google aggregates me by changing the UI for no reason, the press-and-hold power and tap the screenshot option seemed much easier to me.
Is there a way to change this without a third-party app?

it maybe different with nexus, but I was looking for the same option with my Xperia (have a custom Rom, but standard 4.2 system)
I bypassed the power + volume option, by going to settings/system/power menu, and ticked 'screenshot'
hopefully you have this option in settings too
