Hi i really like CM 7 nightlies, but it's kinda annoying to wake the phone by the power button and my trackpad is broken. I know that there is a wake by volume button option but i prefer not to use it because i listen to music a lot and waking the screen every time i change the volume and turning off the screen is annoying. So i was wondering if there is an app or some option in the settings that i missed that enables wake by any other button like the home or genius button?

Finally found a widget to turn off my Nexus screen with no delay. Touch the widget and INSTANT screen lock. This combined with widget locker means I hardly ever have to use the power button on my N1 (after a call I still have to unlock with power button though). Just wish I'd found this before I paid for two other screen off widgets that had delays before the lock

Whats its name?
I believe it's called 'lock screen widget'. Thanks to the op for suggesting this. I also just purchased 'power off'. My power button is fine but with all the stories of the power button failing I do worry about it, so using these two widgets will reduce the use of it hopefully avoiding any problems...
Edit: power off from the market sux. Refunded, uninstalled...

As the poster above noted, its called "lock screen widget". I had the power button on my original Nexus die after 3 days so I've been looking for a way to avoid using it as much as possible....this helps immensely. With "widget locker" I can unlock the phone with the trackball or volume keys so my power button hardly ever gets touched.

Why not warranty the phone? I had to do that twice for the power button.

I did warranty it. I'm using these pre-emptively to hopefully keep my power button functioning as long ad possible.

Sorry to change topic but does anyone know an app that allows trackball wake up flawlessly. All the apps i tryed will work 60% Of the time sometimes not at all.

Trackball wake in the majority of roms does the job for me

I use No Lock to bypass using the power button. No Lock simply disables the device locking so you can wake the device with the volume buttons or the trackball, at all times. The only time I use the power button now is to power on/off the device. No Lock is free too.

No Lock is great for turning the screen ON...but I wanted something to turn it OFF without hitting the power button or waiting for the screen to just "timeout". The two other widgets I found both came with 5-7 sec delays before the capacitive buttons or trackball didn't cancel the action (Lock Enabler looks to have a few seconds delay as well). This widget is just like hitting the power button as it INSTANTLY shuts the screen off. This is exactly what I'd been looking for.
hi guys dont by it now because it not working at the time. it says beta expired when you try to open it, and sends you back to market

Are you talking about the lock screen widget?
It has been working for me for almost a year (and saves a lot of power button presses )
Yup been using Invisible Lock Widget for a few months.
Rather than a widget which takes multiple presses to get to, I just long press search.
That and using widgetlocker to wake means I'm not using my power button at all.

You could try Lockscreen also: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.blogspot.androidinspain.LockScreen

back when i had the mytouch4g we had a mod/hack that enabled us to remap the "genious" button in to a google search option.
i was wondering if we can remap the volume buttons to wake the xoom up or just simply enable the volume buttons to wake the xoom.

However, you do not get a lock screen anymore.
Wait for custom roms, most have this kind of feature

Yeap.. I use NoLock because I don't feel I needed that lock screen anyways.. hehhe a byproduct of its use is that the volume buttons will also wake the Xoom

You could always turn off the lock screen in settings without this program.

Oh gosh.. haha couldn't do that on my Captivate so honestly didn't even try on my Xoom. thanks. Also seems that turning off the lock screen in settings still makes the volume buttons wake it up.
no lock doesn't always work for me. the volume buttons wake it right when it goes dark, but if it's more than a few minutes, the volume buttons won't wake the xoom.
is there a solution for this. I love my xoom and the power button is the only think i would change. I have it flat on a desk a lot.
Is there any option to change unlock screen from power button to any other button.I feel by continuous use of power button may damage.Please help?
In cyanogen can wake up with volume keys
CM7 based Roms allow you to set your volume keys to wake your phone. But you'll still have to press the power button if you want to put it back to sleep.
Not sure about other Roms.

Actually you can download "Screen off and lock" app from market and lock the phone using your screen/long press search button...

WidgetLocker (Lockscreen replacement, get it via the market) also supports waking up your device via volume buttons.
A lot of other costum ROM's provide flashable zip's to wake the device up via volume buttons like ARHD. (As someone said, CM7 has this feature integrated)

Thanks for the reply quickly bros and one thing always using power button will damage or no problem for using.
No, it shouldn't, it's made to be extensively used, as long as you treat it with some care, you shouldn't be afraid...
So I am using paranoid android the latest stable before 2.99 and cannot wake my screen using the Volume Rocker
I have it set to on. and it maybe works within the first 3s after a screen is off but any longer and it wont wake the screen.
I have toggled it off, rebooted; toggeld back on, rebooted. But no luck.
If anyone knows any fixes to this or any tips that would be awesome, thanks.
:what:
Just use the button right next to the volume key. Really its not any different. Works just like the volume buttons. Just apply sufficient pressure as to cause the surface of the key to become flush with the side of the device and you're good to go.

I know this question has been asked before by someone else but there was no working solution.
I use the Touch Control app to wake my phone, and would prefer to use a gesture on the screen instead of the power button to wake the device. Does anybody know of an app, mod or editable system file I could use to stop the power button waking the device? I know that on a couple of other phones you can edit system/usr/keylayout to stop the home button from waking the device. (I would still like to be able to use the power button to turn the screen off, take screenshots etc.)
