[Q] waking up the screen via camera button

i wanted to know if it is possible to create a code wher i can light my phone screen when it is locked with the camera button on my motorola milestone, because my power button is not working now and i am not under warranty anymore, is it possible ?

You might want to try Lock 2.0. A quick google search led me to this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.code.p.slideunlocker2&feature=search_result

You can do it by hand
- Use RootExplorer, go to \system\usr\keylayout, find the file yourself (I use 2.3.4, so mine is sholes-keypad.kl)
- You will see FOCUS, add WAKE:
key 211 FOCUS WAKE
- Reboot, and just touch the camera key to see what happens...

Of course, but I'm using CM7.1.0 RC10 (2.3.4), and I think this trick will wokr on other ROM, you must edit correct .kl file
Terminator: cat /proc/device-tree/[email protected]/[email protected]/name
and see what is written
Cronos Froyo v1.8.1 can do this, I like this function very much, so I search a lot to make it work on other ROM

[Q] Working home button in CM9?

Hello.
I was wondering if the physical home button on the TouchPad is working with Android CM9? Is there anyway to make it work?

I didn't install any ROM yet, I was making sure so I decide if I will install it or not because people in videos only used the on-screen button not the physical one. As I understood from you, it does work, many thanks for your answer

[Q] HELP ME PLEASE! how can I enable On-screen Keys ?

LG P880 cm10.1.3 stable
how can I enable On-screen Keys and navbar ?
I already tried to to add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" line to build.prop. No success here. Wont boot, not even go to the CM logo. Just black screen.
Any Ideas ?
Thx for your help

BTW,
the reason why I want to enable softkey and (if possible) disable the capacitive buttons is the following:
I have hugh fingers. And so often when I type I accidently hit the home button instead of the space bar. It is really annoying. However, I never had this issue with my old SGS and my GalaxyTab.
And another thing: Sometimes when I hit the upper end of the buttons, it fires the long click action, e.g. it goes directly to RecentApps instead of HOME.

There are actually plenty of tutorials all over XDA (general or software section).
Search for it.
If you want further help you have to tell us details about your current setup.
EDIT: Just to let you know,
I searched for 1 min and found 3 different ways. One last tip: don't use the XDA search but Google, way more reasonable outcome.

Well, the problem seems to be limited to cm10.1.3.
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
works on cm11 nightlies just fine.

Well, thanks for mentioning google. Always helpful.
I still find no other ways than editing build.prop (or using apps that do that for you)

The qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 just means that your device has no hardware menu buttons.
Whether CM didn't set it so this will enable navigation bar or you did something wrong.
5 Mins of search also got me this build.prop line to add:
ro.show.navigationbar=1
Try it.

Same as qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 . Does not boot.
I guess i stick with cm11 nightlies then
but thanks anyway

how are you editing the build.prop?
many file editors give problems with boot after edit, the best option is to copy file, edit and then push to phone through adb
the quemu hw keys is universal on cm to tell if your phone has hw keys or not so it should not be causing problems
(also check if it is already present in the build.prop)
If still it isn't working and don't want to change rom you can always use xposed framework which has a few different modules for nav bar

ehhh .... i guess i stay with the nightlies ... they seem pretty usable as a dailydriver so far

ok, one last option is edit build.prop then flash
the command is correct, the bootloop is not normal that's why i'm insisting on this point

Take care of line endings. If you are on Windows, there might be incompatibility with Unix formats.

I forgot about the issues with win you are right.
OP you should edit build.prop with notepad++
open file with n++, add the line, highlight it and check that in the bottom right of the bar it says encoding "Unix"

Adam, thank you very much. You pointed in the right direction.
I adb'd into the device and changed the build.prop via shell nano and viola everything works on cm10.1

already done it, there's no specific thread for i9000 and the solutions with edit system files found for i9300 doesn't apply there, can you point me to an i9000-compatible guide?

This section is for posting things you developed. Not for help.

Add
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
to the end of build.prop - that should sort it out for you. If you have real problems doing that then I can let you have a zip to flash through recovery that does it for you. You can find this info in XDA but you do need to take some time to search.

Thanks, it worked well. Is this permanent or do I have to repeat the process at every Milestone update?

You'll have to repeat it after flashing a new nightly or milestone.
