Hi all,
I was looking for a way to make the volume rocker to wake up the screen but with no luck. Anybody knows a way? If yes then please share your knowledge
EDIT: ok, I've found two methods: method 1 and method 2 but my knowledge is too limited... I know nothing about smali and etc. in method 2 I don't know which file should I edit?
Please help!
Thanks in advance

You can try widget locker - lock screen replacement app, and disable stock lock screen. Another good thing with it is that you will lose lag on answering phone call...

widget locker did the thing. but i liked the lg lockscreen alot :-/ thanks nedooo!
btw wake all is working as well but there was a thing a didn't like: when i lock the screen and press the volume rocker buttons, the app showed me my homescreen for a second or two and then the lockscreen. widget locker doesn't do that. anyway thanks to dante501 also!
In CM10 volume rocker wake feature is already there as an option afaik. I wish everyone to have the patience and wait for the bootloader unlock update from LG and the CM port

method 1:
1.Decompile android.policy.jar
2.Found KeyguardViewMediator.smali
3.Edit the smali and delete
Code:
0x18 -> :sswitch_5
0x19 -> :sswitch_5
method 2:
Edit /system/usr/keylayout/tuna-gpio-keypad.kl
Code:
key [COLOR="Red"]???[/COLOR] VOLUME_DOWN [COLOR="Red"]WAKE[/COLOR]
key [COLOR="red"]???[/COLOR] VOLUME_UP [COLOR="Red"]WAKE[/COLOR]
key [COLOR="red"]???[/COLOR] POWER [COLOR="red"]WAKE[/COLOR]
I don't know the correct number of the key,so I replaced the number to ??? and you just keep the original numbers.
"WAKE" means you can wake up the phone with the button.
Delete the WAKE and it won't work.

1. I don't know how to decompile. what's a smali? I thought someone with the knowledge could make this mod for the O4X.
2. there is no tuna-gpio-keypad.kl file in /system/usr/keylayout/. the closest file name was gpio-keys.kl. I edited it but the phone still doesn't wake.
I know there is google and I could learn it myself. I'd like to learn all these things, but I haven't got the time for it. I work a lot and I have exams at college.

If rooted, try the Xposed module 'Xposed Additions'. It lets you remap all buttons. Heard it even works as a workaround for the powerbutton bug in CM11!

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.
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.
CMIIW.

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.

To unlock the phone. Suddenly it works perfectly. Thx!
///lg P970 optimus black///
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..

Maybe for wake up and turn off the device too? I guess it's applicable for multiple actions, isn't it?

Huhuuuuuu guys,
since some weeks i looking for a app or flash able zip that let me skip tracks with the volume buttons when screen is locked.
i really like it when i was using AOKP but i going back to gingerbread because of the camera problems.
found some files(not for droid 3) that crash my system ;/
also found a app called tactile player. but i not like it (u need to double press volumen button for skip a track)
an other nice found was this tutorial about remapping hw buttons (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517260)
but you only have 2 options wake & wake_dropped
maybe someone of you guys could help me?
Edit: iam on steel droid 4.8
i decomplied the android.policy.jar and will try to do it myself ;/
i not have much time befor the weekend
and will tell u guys if there is something going up
and help required ;]
Update: The end isnt far away. Atm the VolumeButtons change the track when screen is off and Control the Sound when Screen is on. But i still work on it.
For these who wanne take a look at it i post the smali files.

You should use playerpro. The functions are amazing and u have the option (in settings) to press up to change songs and long press for volume.I have mine reversed tho so volume works by pressing up/down and long press to change song. It only takes a second to change songs. Great app. Check it out

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
