So I've seen many people asking for Volume Wake mod on every ROM that comes out. Most people want this either because their Power button is not working or is about to stop.
But I came across something. It's not a ROM glitch cause I've tried it on multiple ROMs.
If you swipe over were the navigation buttons are (i.e. Home/Menu/Back/Search buttons) the screen will actually switch on.
Hope this info helps.

which kernel are you using?

is there a way to add options when we long press the power button? optionto not only shutdown the phone but also reboot.
The CyanogenMod (CM7) ROM, does this. If you can live with that ROM (or any ROM based on that), I can highly recommend this one from wgspoelstra.
does it have the 64RAM hack (freeing up an extra 64 mb ram)
Yes, CM7 uses the vorkKernel which has this hack.
thanks! i have the WGSPOELSTRA on my phone, working great, i am on v.26, i haven't updated to the latest because i'm seeinig some negative feedback on the release
It would be great to use the volume buttons to unlock the screen.
Anyone knows if it could be plausible?
i can't find it again...i knew i found an option that does that... now i'm not sure if it's in the slick custom roms or the WGSPOELSTRA's

Whilst it is possible with stock it's a lot of framework edits. I took a look and hacked together a reboot proof of concept... you have to call an existing function and LG have obfuscated this function in their framework...

Brilliant. I love LG 2X but the power button at the top and volume buttons on the right are a big fail in my opinion. I might be too use to the layout on SGS.
Having said that I don't mind if there is a workaround and this for me is perfect. Thanks.
This mod enables onscreen soft keys (THANKS TO LEONARDOARAUJO for the modded framework-res) and disables all cap keys except for menu. cap keys still are illuminated, but home, back, and search are disabled as well as haptic feedback for the 3. as i cannot as of yet get a search key remap working i decided to try n make this.I kinda like it btr even tho i lose a lil real estate cuz soft keys are cool..tested and working fine.

Until the backlight params editing is backported to CM10, you might want to try Screen Filter. I used that app since CM9 to disable the backlights on the capacitive buttons. Cheers!
Edit: Scrap that. It seems that it doesn't work (yet) on CM10. I'll try searching for something else.
Edit 2: Success! Adjbrightness works flawlessly!

Yeah, I noticed you left the menu button enabled. I've edited mine to disable the menu button as well, so it's all off for me.

i left mine on cuz there are times and places i need to enter menu but the 3 dots aren't there. maybe leo can add menu to the soft keys, ill ask.
In what app(s) does that occur? I haven't checked every app on my phone, but it's all good so far. The 3 dots show up either next to the soft buttons or on the actionbar.

actually now tht im paying attn, i think its mainly from home screen using apex. i can set a shortcut but i jus kinda like having menu access rt there. works for me
edit: ur right..menu 3 dots thing is there anytime there is a menu to access, EXCEPT apex home screen. but sometimes its up on top. i thought about disabling menu but decided to keep it as its nice to have rt there, i guess for the same reason i like the search key to recents remap..more easily accessible.
What if we want to revert back to using the softkeys after flashing this? is there a way to reverse it?

just reflash CM10 without wiping data, should bring everything back to stock.
need not apply the full rom, to undo everything (including navigation buttons):

Hi, I installed the avatar rom on my Nexus One. seems like a good rom.
But I have a problem I can not solve. wake up the phone with the trackball. I can not find in the settings, the menu concerned.
Any suggestions?

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.

Does anyone know how I can turn off the hardware buttons on the Droid Turbo? I want to completely disable them so I can use the UI buttons on the Bliss ROM I am currently running. If anyone knows please share with me how you do it. Thank you!!

It would be a ROM setting. In settings search for navigation buttons? That's what it's called in another ROM, Resurrection Remix. Make sure you have the software buttons turned on before you turn off your hardware (capacative) buttons, otherwise you will have nothing.
Also, you would probably get a better answer in the ROM thread itself.

I tried that but there's no option in there. Just for the on screen buttons.

What I'm trying to do is turn off the actual hardware buttons so that I can turn on the on screen buttons and use those instead.

Try asking in the ROM thread. The dev can tell you if it's possible. Like this question and answer?
carlos67 said:
Quick question.
I'm seriously thinking of trying this rom but need to know if the 3 capacitive buttons can be disabled and an on-screen lollipop style back/home/recents software nav bar put in its place?
If not possible in the rom, what about an exposed module that does this?
Would appreciate any helpful responses

Yes it have all that, setting/configurations/buttons. But make sure you enable Nav bar buttons before disable hardware keys.

Even if you turn them off, you will still be able to "see" them as the white paint outlines them. You will not reclaim that screen space. They are permanently there, you will just have software keys to use instead.
Hide the hardware keys?
https://www.reddit.com/r/droidturbo/comments/3v89fu/hide_the_hardware_keys/
No. The outlines are painted behind the glass. If your unlocked and running a custom ROM, you can disable the capacitive keys, but they will still be visible because there physically outlined behind the glass.

Aside from a front glass skin (if there are any that mask the buttons) I don't think there's any easy and appealing way to "make them disappear." It might be possible to disassemble the front glass and black them out, but I think that's too risky of a procedure just to hide them.

Hi all.
Currently running CM13 Unofficial on my Mi5.
It appears as though my hardware home button on my Mi5 has failed... Hard press does nothing....
This started on my previous ROM 16/09/2016, and continues on my new ROM 22/09/2016.
I strongly suspect this is a hardware issue rather than a software issue...
My question for you guys is how do I reassign buttons? Is it possible to make the right capacitive (currently app switcher) the home button?
Also, my preferred button to use as a home button would be the soft capacitive touch on the fingerprint scanner on the home button so i can retain my app switcher button....
Any help guys is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
When Xiaomi releases Kernel Source there will be an option for non physical home button. On rr you can reassign more options to your buttons. Cm does not work on my device.

If your home button is broken, then maybe you should enable 'on screen' (software) buttons from Buttons submenu in Settings?
Capacitive touch is not going to work on prebuilt kernel (every ROM so far, wait for CM's big update).

Have done so. Cheers for the suggestion.. I didn't know this option existed!
As for the capacitive buttons not working, I've seen this mentioned a number of times... My capacitive buttons have always worked since flashing CM?

Yeah, fingerprint to unlock and such.. What about touching (not pressing) home button to return to the launcher? That's what everybody wants to have (and waits for proper kernel)
