[Q] Disable Power Button to Wake Device - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I dont want any password on my phone because i dislike the constant minor inconvenience of entering the password, so what im looking for is a way to disable the power button from waking the device and only use volume rocker. no one really knows this would wake the device and i feel like it would be secure enough for what im looking for.
anyone have a way to do this?

i saw this in another thread but have no idea how to do this or if it would work on 2.3 cm7
Do you have the trackpad wake instructions for Froyo? Changing the qwerty.kl on 'trackpad press' from wake_dropped to wake does NOT work for me on 2.2 (it did on 2.1).
Thanks

Try button remapper, free on Xda or donate online the market, and see if you can change it.

Touch vibrate app?

On my previous WinMo device there was an app that made the phone vibrate every time the screen was touched. It gave a nice tactile feedback when using the device.
Is there a similar app for android?
The app SpareParts has a setting called Haptic Feedback. I turned it on and restarted my phone (might not be needed) and when typing on the keyboard it vibrates and when pressing certain buttons it does also (like holding the end key). So it doesnt do EVERY key press, but some of them.
SpareParts is included in many of the ROMs on the site, but im not sure where to get it as a apk.
Spare Parts is also available on market.

Spare Parts gives only an uncustomizable and long vibration while pressing the screen.
What i'm looking for is an app that gives you for example 10ms vibration for press and for release, anytime and anywhere, not in just VK
any clues ?

the only vibration you get from SpareParts is long pressing the screen/buttons. it has no effect on the vibration to the keybaord. the keyboard has the option in its own settings.
this is off topic but you know what would better than tactile screen taps? if you could change the way SOUND screen taps. i have a jailbroken iphone and i use the blackberry storm keyboard sounds on my iphone. its very nice and wish i could have that on my g1 being that it is my #1 phone.
This is an awesome idea. I would like to have this also

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 ?

[APP IDEA] Legend hardware key remap for Call Attend & End

Is it possible that someone can develop a simple app for legend, which would make the Home key and Back key act as call attend and call end button on legend?
Home key should only act as call attend while the call is incoming.
and back key should only act as end button while a call is incoming and when the call screen is still visible while on call.
Iam not exactly sure if there is already such an app, i've really tried looking and found none so far.
it would be just great if something like this is possible, there can be times when we just dont want to touch the screen, like while eating or with wet/dirty fingers.
The home button cannot be overridden IIRC. But it should be possible to remap the other ones. ask the creator of your phone app. I think designing a dialer/phone app just for button remapping is asking too much.
You can already use the power button to hang up, enable it in the accessibility setting (or is this cyanogenmod specific?).
Actually iam running stock ROM, I must admit i have not a single clue on how/if its possible. I don't deal with development, I was merely suggesting an idea for those who might be able to do it.
I didn't realize it would require a total rewrite of the dialer app, I was kind of under there impression that it could be possible through some lil hack.
The home button I mentioned was also a suggestion.

[Q] How to unlock on volume key press

So i am new to captivate forum and i dont even own one. this question is for my friend because her power button broke. i tried to look it up but i cant seem to find the mod to wake the phone on Volume key press. So i was wondering if the mod even exists and if so what are the steps to install it on the phone. Your Help is appreciated.
Look in the Market at WidgetLocker Lockscreen by
TeslaCoil Software
Here's a quote from part of the description..."- Optional Easy Wake Mode, allows all hardware buttons to wake, rather than just the power button (Does not work on all phones)"
Worth a try, because I don't recall any Mods for the Captivate for this and a quick search didn't turn up any.
Hope this helps.
