As we know, G-button on OB is working to wake up the screen on any Froyo ROM.. but, in Gingerbread, waking up the screen not working anymore.. I'm getting frustrated using power button..
Any solution guys? I really need that g-button wake.. I can't find any solutions in the internet.. or should I degrade to Froyo? what's the drawback of Froyo then?
Many thanks for help..
If you come with official/cooked GB, not CM7
Just edit /system/usr/keylayout/ TWL4030_Keypad.kl
Edit the
95 GESTURE
into
95 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
That should work

i've tried that method in some GB rom, but not working.. indeed that's working in froyo, but not in GB.. any ideas?
After editing : "/system/usr/keylayout/ TWL4030_Keypad.kl"
Go to "TWL4030_pwrbutton.kl " and change from 116 to 95 This overwrites the first i guess.
.
Edit: It works at the beginning, but after the phone enters deep sleep nothing will wake it up
In CM7, edit /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
add this: "key 95 POWER WAKE" and reboot.
now you can use G button to lock or wake up the phone.
its work for me, perfect.

It's working for me! I'm using Echelon ROM.
It SHOULD work... Maybe there was a typo. The letter must also be capital letters.
I'm on Zeus V6 and I can say that it partially works. Same on other versions of Zeus which I have tried.
Seems that it locks the phone and occasionally it will wake it up. Like immediately after I get an sms and the screen fades to black if you press it then it will most likely wake up.
It appears to me at least that after a while the phone goes into a deep sleep of some sort and ignores the G key.

Hi! I Have an Optimus Black P970.
But I found that the G button on the Internet can be change to Power Key, Lock Key or even Camera Slot key. However, it always said need rooting.
However, I found that the procedure quite hard for me as i am new to android.
So, is there any means with NOT rooting? any widgets? any apps to do so?
Sorry for my poor English...
Thanks a lot.

No way without root. You may want to explore your abilities to root the phone, since CM and then MIUI are coming to our LG. These are far superior goods than GingerBread from LG.
Sent from my LG-P970 using Tapatalk
You need root to do that, because it's change the configuration at read-only system partition /system/usr/keylayout, which mean that you must mount R/W to change that.
and AFAIK that G for power button is just for standby/wake, it can't press to power up from off position.

sorry, I DO care about with the battery and RAM problem. Can these problem solved after custom ROM release?
Now...I play with the game called "mega jump" and "cookie dozer"is so lag. however, the situation is totally different from Samsung i9003. i just want to know the changes from custom ROM.Thanks
So, my phone is rooted, but how can I change the g-key function now? I want it to just wake up on press. Thx a lot!

Perhaps it can power off, but not power on. Because the real button is wired hardware to switch on, and the G button accessible via software.

Wake up from what? G button can set to standby/sleep and wake up. But it CAN'T "wake up" from off/dead position, because the main power button is hardwired to the hardware, and G button only accessed with Android system.

does anyone have any success with this? I've read in other device forums that the only way to screen capture in CM7 is with DDMS, true? I used screenshot with NOVA but both it and drocap just give a black image. Hard to believe something so simple cannot be done.

no, "built-in" screenshot (with the menu when long press power button)

ok, i am a COMPLETE and utter idiot, thanks!
actually CM7 already has a "printscreen" doesn't it? just press power button for about 2~3 secs and theres the option, or pressing power+home is the same as stock rom

Is there a way to disable the four capacitive buttons on the Tab with CM9 installed? I downloaded Tab Button Remapper from the market, but it only FC after giving it root permission.
Not yet at the moment. Perhaps you could try disabling the soft buttons instead. That's why I did for now anyways.

Yes u can, install this zip with recovery mod in your external sd. This fix and remove soft bottoms and enable usb mass storage when u conect to pc
Excellent! Thank you both for the reply and tavooluis for the file!
EDIT-Ah well I guess I wasn't clear enough on the buttons i wanted disabled--the four buttons on the bottom of the Tab (menu, home, back, search) not the onscreen buttons, but, hey, it IS great to have USB working!

Ok, figured it out......I'm not a DEV, so especially [insert standard disclaimers here].
I used ES File Explorer to go to /system/usr/keylayout/ and I commented out (#) all four of the following entries in AT42QT602240_Touchscreen.kl:
key 139 MENU WAKE_DROPPED VIRTUAL
key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK WAKE_DROPPED VIRTUAL
key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED VIRTUAL
I, personally, like using just the onscreen buttons. Now to get the LEDs to stay off. For now I'm using Button Brightness Widget from the market to turn them off while I'm using it.
ICS Soft buttons only (disabled & dim-able capacitive buttons!)

Thanks a ton for this info... maybe this tidbit will help you a bit -
Did you know that there is a button back-light on/off function built in the ICS CM9 kernel for our Tabs !
koxudaxi developed this in his own kernel and yes it is in there
To use, simply tap and hold the menu key for like 3 seconds then release !
Do the same to toggle back on.
***Edit - I got to thinking....that with the buttons disabled then ofcourse koxudaxi's switcher wouldn't work right?
BUT to my surprise now I have CM9, soft buttons only, with capacitive buttons disabled, and press menu for 3 secs - lights out !
I am now super happy with ICS on tab
Thanks to koxudaxi, humberos for kernel, and NovaChief for this missing puzzle piece.

Is usb storage working for you? The stock cm9 usb storage I mean. I flashed the zip provided to remove the soft buttons and it worked. So if you did not flash the particular "fix" and instead just disabled the capacitive buttons, does the usb storage work?

No it's not working ATM. I did flash the zip, but when I noticed that the onscreen buttons were gone I flashed back. I did copy/paste the "volds" that was posted in the DEV thread to switch the mount points, but have not gotten usb to pc to work yet. Not a big deal for me right now because i can use BT to transfer files to/from the pc. Takes a bit longer than USB, but it works.

Eh - There appears to be conflicting info in this thread.... OP wanted capacitive "hard" buttons disabled.
The "sbradymobile_fixes.zip" that was posted to help removes the soft buttons entirely
and that is just counter productive
***in short DO NOT flash the zip if you wish to achieve what the OP wanted***
Posts #5 & #6 have all the info needed

IT WORKS! Thank you so much. Finally,a great ICS experience on my old Tab.
Nice!
What roms are you guys using?

hi, I open this thread to show you how to remap the G button, on the FOP rom it is assigned as a comma so it's totally useless, but all you have to do is using root explorer go to:
system\usr\keylayout
and modify the files "generic.kl" and "TWL4030_Keypad.kl" and search for "key 95".
On the "generic.kl" it will say something like insert comma, change that to one of this options:
APP_SWITCH it will make the g button open the recent apps
CAMERA well it's obvious it will open the camera
and on the "TWL4030_Keypad.kl" it will say "POWER WAKE_DROPPED", just erase that and type one of the options I said (you MUST assign the same option to BOTH files)
Hope it would be usefull ^^ I recomend using the button for the recent apps, since the camera can be accessed from the lockscreen and the camera isnt working right now
If you need to, I can make a CWM flashable zip to modify those 2 files, I didn't did that because this is way too easy to do manually...
Remember to mount R/w so you can edit the files
After doing that just reboot
You should mount r/w not r/o

My Power button is dead and i cannot turn on the phone manually. Ineed to use usb cable,enter the battery charging state and need to push the button frequently(hopefully it detect) till it reboot.Then i try to remap the power button to G button. still cannot on even at battery charging state... This phone is screwed.. wonder if anyone want to buy my phone.. haha..
My power button is not in the best condition too. First I remaped G button (key 95 POWER WAKE_DROPPED) and then I use SoftPower app to wake it because it even has sometimes problems to wake up with the remaped G button and I'm fine. OK that doesn't help when it's completly switched off but then it seems to work rather good and I nearly never switch it off anyway. I use AnReboot for some time, it is fast for reboot and good for getting in recovery.

Getting to the recovery is not the problem as i can use the adb command. The worst part is when i want to call someone urgently and the phone cannot wake the screen. So softpower app can help in these kind of situation? As when the phone is completely dead, there nothing we can do to turn it on as some people said that the power button is hardwire.
Yes SoftPower wakes my phone up all the time without any problem. I haven't even activatet the adminstrator, because it is only needed for turning the screen off and I use G button for that. (Need the search button for something else anyway.)
BTW if you remap the G button it even shows the power menu like you get it for long pressing power button (at least with some ROMs).
Thanks man, i will try that software. I just open this phone and found out that the usb port and the power button is integrated with each other. So, it's kinda hard to repair it.
Thanks.... I modify G Button as Camera and its working awesome on CM10..
