[APP] Instant Screen Off (for rooted phones only)

I have make small app, which switching off screen.
Instant, without any waits or faking switching off by set brightness to zero.
It's simulate pressing of power button.
Maybe this one will be interest for somebody
root needed

Nice! I'd be more interested if you could do unlock via soft keys as we had in Hero , i.e. home and menu, as I find the power button is too recessed for easy access.
Not sure if softkeys would be too easy to trigger by mistake tho ??

There is a hack for this but the menu key etc on the hd are not active when the screen is locked so it doesn't work. I did it today but you have to press power then the keys become active and you can use menu etc to unlock. Pointless as you still need to use power button first. The hero's keys were hard buttons as is the desire. It worked great on the desire. Unless anyone knows a way to have them active while locked? My power buttons a nightmare as it's not very clicky and really recessed. My wife's hd power button is much easier to use. Anyone know a way to have the soft keys active all the time?

Thanks for this app, i was waiting for.
Power button isn't as practical as your app to power down the phone.
Thank you mate.

Very Nice.... I like it.
But can you please Chance the Icon for me?
Im not able to do this myself.
I would like something like that.
Back and white with a bit gray or shaded would be very nice

In technical terms,yes- it would circumvent the process of having to use one's digit to find aforementioned hard power button and then depress said button.

Lol, maybe I didn't want the technical version after all. Dumb it down so I can understand. I'm have it installed but I don't see it doing anything. I have an Evo. How does this work (explain normal).

Its just a app to lock the phone and turn the screen off. Not sure if it works on evo

Ok thanks buddy, Uninstalling.

Dunno if this is doable but have you seen the screen lock on the new nexus that was seen at recent web 2.0 summit. Its kinda like the effect you get when u turn off an old crt TV. Could you implement that instead of the current fade effect? Ta

here i send you the perfect icon for me.
I hope you can do this. This would be very great.
Can you make the white corners transparent?
If you cant please make it black...
Im looking forward to you work

Hello, thanks a lot. its look very very sexy.
The only problem i have is with the "More Icons Widget"
That shows me the old symbol.
I think thats not you Problem. So i will check that.
thanks!

Thank you exidler for this useful app. I am just wondering if you can make use of the accelerometer sensor to turn off the screen ( for example by putting the phone upside down) . Thanks again.

i also agree ! that would be a perfect app and since most people do not check their sms upside down it would also be extremely practical

Answer with softkeys?

Hello Guys!
I was wondering one thing, you can answer incoming calls with a button softey?
When I had the i9003 Galaxy scl, I remember there was an option that allowed you to answer calls, via home button.
You can have such a thing even on the dual?
With CyanogenMod 7, you can unlock the phone by pressing the menu button, then in some way I can set the buttons to respond more quickly?
Thank you all for your support!

Google Now - Swipe Up ?

Hi everyone,
I'm coming from the Nexus 4 - I could open Google Now and search instantly by swiping/sliding up my fringer from the bottom of the screen... now with the HTC software I am not able to do it... is there any way to enable it and also use custom lockrings ?

Hold down the home key. ^_^
If you want access from lock screen you will need to move the Google app into the dock.....

[VIDEO] Android 4.3 On-Screen Back Button Bug?

Sorry if this has been posted before, but couldn't find something similar.
I got this bug with my back on-screen key where when I press the back button, it functions as the multi-tasking/recent apps button. See the video for further reference.
Anyone else got this issue? All the time the back button acts as recent apps button. very annoying.
VIDEO HERE
===============================
OFF-TOPIC:
Also, people have been discussing about the BLACK BAR bug but not many are able to understand what exactly we are trying to say.. so for them.. following is the video.

Its not the black bar bug/feature that is bothering me (that is why it was mentioned as something off topic) .. It's the back button. And i don't see many having this issue. Wonder why did my update bring this issue :s.. M all stock. Any suggestions might help me get the back button working again like how it's suppose to.

[Q] HTC Desire c Screen cracked where BACK button is

Does anyone know how I can make or change the location of my back button? Right there in the lower left of my digitizier I have a small crack. Of course it makes both my back button and my option to open my dialer during calls non operational. Does any one have a suggestion or a work around other than a new screen?
