Trackball wake on FroYo?

Since updating to FroYo I keep thinking my phone is broken because it won't wake up, but then I realize I have to wake via power button now...
any root apps to re-enable this until CM6 is out?
there's menu unlock by teamdouche; it uses the menu button instead of trackball to unlock, but you still need to press the power button to wake the phone
Hmm, sorta pointless for me. I can deal with slide to unlock, I just hate power to wake.
I'd like the same ... it's annoying to have to go back to using the power button.
Anyone?
Isn't it possible to just extract the function from a recent CM build and make a installable package to use until CM 6?
Need trackball wake!
I find myself pressing the trackball multiple times before realizing I have to use the power button again . Pressing that power button sucks when you have a gel case. Trackball wake is needed!
i wish to have it as well. froyo doesn't bring it .
Until it is effectively ported, you guys are welcome to using a lockscreen replacement.
Just discovered a way to have trackball wakeup on the N1 running fro-yo!
Install an app called screen mode and set it on your home screen as a widget. Switch to Awake stay mode and voila! Trackball wake up! I tried tinkering with it and if you set it to regular mode the trackball wake up won't work. Have been using this app for a long time now and never realized that it does this lol.

Well it works. It doesn't turn the screen back off but I assume that people just want the wakeup feature.
What does awake stay mode do?

Awesome. Works, but yes what is stay awake mode? Does is not sleep meaning using battery?
It's a good app but I preffer the slide to unlock protection after trackball press instead of jumping directly to the menu. Pressing volume or trackball buttons by error will open the screen.
I think we don't have other solutions than wait for an Enom or CM roms
Keyguard Disabler works perfect on 2.2. Once installed goto shortcuts and set it to "disable".

I think Google needs to release the source code for 2.2 before this is possible.
Any updates?
Use "No Lock" (free in market) in combination with "FlyScreen" (free on market).
Wakes phone with trackball and brings you to a customizable lock screen that looks almost like the stock 2.1 lock screen. I'm using this and love it.

How to wake phone up with trackball?

Hey all,
Anyone know what I need to do to make it where I can press my trackball to wake my phone instead of the top button? Thanks a lot!

you have to have a custom rom installed in order to do this, the standard vanilla android will not allow you to do this.

Installing CyanogenMod would accomplish what you are asking for.
please post this in the correct forum next time
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=603
Actually most if not all lock screen replacements do this if you don't want to root.. though you are losing your lock screen for some crappy alternative.
Thanks for the advice...I will put it in Q&A next time my bad sorry!
I just manually installed Froyo 2.2 FRF72 on my N1...I heard there is a prerooted rom you can install but I think its Modaco only? Do you think Cyan will release something like this soon thats prerooted cause I would love to get some cyan and have the trackball thing working!
THANKS for your comments!

Think Cyanogen is going to be away this week but cm6 test0 is being tested somewhere It will come soon enough
No need to root your N1, just install [Lockbot Pro v1.14.1.apk]
Lockbot Pro can wake up your phone by pressing trackball or volume keys
You can also try "No Lock", which is free.
It removes the need to slide to unlock and also allows Trackball and Volume Keys wake.
It also has a widget for a quick activation of the normal waking, so the phone doesn't wake all the time when it's in your pocket.

FlyScreen is another. And this is the third "how do I wake by tracbkall?" thread I've seen in a few weeks....

Thanks vitorjna for the info
I just stumbled on this thread by accident but your suggestion is really appreciated!
I'd always hate having my Nexus One music going in my car and having to go through the unlock screen if I wanted to skip a song. I even started using Cubed music player since it has a lockscreen widget but the music player itself is pretty bad. Now I can go back to using the regular music player that I like more without having to worry about driving unsafe.
No Lock works but I don't want my Lock Screen removed, I just want wake with trackball.
Flyscreen is crap, I don't want the widgets so I removed them but now I get an update thing every time I get to the lockscreen.
Is there any app like No Lock but with lockscreen?

The way these programs work is that they dismiss the system keyguard (Because the keyguard is what prevents the phone from waking when the trackball is pressed). This is done by creating a window with FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD. Then the system keyguard is gone and the app can either close, leaving no keyguard (Like no lock), or act as a pseudo keyguard (like flyscreen). There is no way to force the system keyguard to activate again after it's dismissed.
Cyanogen's method is better because it's a custom rom.
If you want to try another lockscreen I can recommend my own WidgetLocker, which has Easy Wake (trackball wake) and has slide to unlock and won't try to download widget updates (It uses actual Android Widgets, not those flyscreen ones, so you can control your music from the lockscreen or put BetterHome there or whatever).

I find I like no lock the best for the moment. Most times I dont want the lock feature but when I do its one tap of the 1x1 widget and its on. One tap and its off on the flipside. Used it on cm as well since I prefer the volume rocker to wake.

Hello,
can you tell me how to setup lockbot pro to wake up when I press the trackball? after a while, nothing I do will turn on my N1, except for the power button. and I hate using the power button to turn on my phone.
Thanks
I've tried "No Lock" and it works well. However its unable to unlock when "pin/password" is enabled.(forced by my exchange email account)
Anyone know of something that can bypass this too ?

Music Player While Locked issue

hello i have a problem i usually use my phone to play music ... now when my phone locks i have to unlock it with my pattern and ect to skip songs its aggravating ... does anyone know a fix for this ?? thanks
Yeah there kind of is. You can remap some buttons to act as pause/play and next track. I made it so I can press the Search button to go to the next track and the Call button to play/pause.
You can learn how to do it here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695936
Read the whole thing. Somewhere in the middle towards the end it goes over the commands for music control. Make sure you pay attention to the last sentence:
The added attribute "WAKE" allows it to complete the action without waking the phone.

thanks alot im going to try to understand this ...... but whats up with the original one .... that pops up on the lock screen is there any way i can add that one ... its more easier lol
Sorry, doubt there is a way to access anything before the lock pattern; that's why the lock pattern is there.

What rom are you running? If it is sense based and you're using the htc luck screen, there will be music controls on the lock screen. If it's sense based and you're using vanilla or rotary lock screen, you're out of luck. If you're on darch droid (and probably froyo, but haven't tried), you can hold volume up or down to skip songs when screen is off, but no way to pause/play

thanks for the help ... im using darch .. and im using launcher pro ... it has the regular lock on it ... .. ur trying to tell me i need to have it on the sense home screen? thanks
just hold the volume buttons to skip, and use the hard key remap to change a button to play/pause. You can set a double tap on the track ball to skip forward in the music app.

,.... i just tryed to double click the ball but it didnt work .. with pattern enabled and disabled !!! ... i also have the double click feature checked in the settings of the music player.... im thinking about going to fresh ... and c if this is fixed..
edit i dont have darch i have damage control ...
well i switched to fresh and it works ... only problem now the widget sucks ... its that basic htc one eww
i think the reason it didnt work was because i was using the vanilla music player instead of the old regular music player .... solved !! In order to have the Music player while Phone is locked u Must use the older original music player to listen to music ....

power button app

What's a best app/widget to put a power button on your homescreen that'll put your tab to sleep? The ones that I've seen mentioned so far are Tap Tap App, Screen Off and Lock, AnyUnlock and Screen Off.
Any thoughts on which one is the best? Also, being able to wake it up with the volume rocker would be a nice option.

Quick boot.
Widgetsoid includes a nice lock widget and a reboot widget, I haven't seen anything that's expressly sleep though.
I am using button savior.

LockMyDroid
You could always use MY app, LockMyDroid.
The advantages are that it's an app instead of a widget so it offers many more ways to lock your screen. Examples:
Set it as the 'Action' for the Clock Tap in FancyWidgets
Add a shortcut to your homescreen
Hold the Home button, if it was one of the last 8 apps used (always is for me) you can lock your phone from that menu
Long-press the 'Search' button on your phone
Launch from app drawer and lock your phone

While you're at it, you could try the new Live Wallpaper that I just put on the market which I fashioned from my failed Google I/O contest entry

But Quick Boot doesn't have an option to make it sleep right? It just reboots or powers off unless I'm missing something.

That's the name of it? I can't find it in the market.
I use minimalistic text to call on screen off and lock.
So I touch the word lock and the screen goes out with an old TV tube animation, gingerbread style on froyo.

Thanks for the reply, but I can not understand what you mean. With this rom as you wake the phone?
Exactly. You cannot wake the phone with the trackball or volume rocker with this rom yet. Maybe with the next update the developer will implement this feature.
