[Q] Trackball wake to lock screen

Hi all,
Is there an app out there that allows track ball wake to lock screen?
I tried "No Lock" but after with the "Locking Enabled" I can't wake with the trackball.
I also tried "LockBot", which goes to it's custom slider lock screen; however, if it's password lock screen is enabled, trackball won't wake the phone.
What I am looking for is just purely trackball/volume wake, and sliding or password (if enabled) lock screen remains unchanged.
Is there such an app out there (free coz I can't access paid market)?
And is there a widget that can just off the screen?
Thanks.
p/s- my power button no longer works.
I use Lock Enabler to sleep the screen, and Quick Boot for restarts, boot in recovery, etc

Get LockMyDroid from the market.
It was a casual app developed by someone here on XDA. No trackball lock, but long press of search. You get used to it, trust me.
Alternatively you can put a shortcut to it on your homescreen.
Thanks for the comments.
Still doesn't work for me because pressing the trackball doesn't take me to the slider screen.
If you have Cyanogenmod then you can go in settings and set it to where you can wake the screen by pressing trackball.
Best lock screen app I've tried is Lock Now. Haven't had any issues with it - really worth the investment (I'm not the developer ).
What ROM are you running? If it's stock or a largely stock based ROM (MCR for example) you can apply this patch: Link. Basically this will enable trackball wake without any programs.

There's the problem. Most all custom roms will do exactly what you want.

Screen Timeout \ Sceern Lock window.

Hi ALL,
I know this is Galaxy S I9003 Android Development but since we do not have saperate Section I am posting here.
I have Two issues
1. I have selected "None" for Screen lock in Settings-> Location and Security. still i see this ( <<<<<xxxxxx>>>>> ) type of screen lock some time after time out. I want to remove this. My phone is rooted and on XXKB33.
2. I usally set Screen Time out at 15 Seconds. It automatically goes to 1 Minute.. What can be the issue.? I use LockMenu Where i have set time out as 15 secs.
can anyone pls help me resolving these?
thanks

For the first issue the only way to change the lockscreen to default android lockscreen is to modify system files... look at my other post with vanilla lockscreen.....

Here you can not deactivate the screen lock. You can only change security settings like password, PIN or pattern lock. If you select none, you will not be asked to input any of those after sliding the screen to open it. But lock screen will still be there.

The responsability of screen lock is android.policy.jar and framework-res.apk... maybe try to restore again that files... one question... have you tried app from market that enable lock screen like: screen off and lock? (I'm not sure about the correct name). Another question.... but the lock-unlock button works?

[Q] Lock screen issues

Whenever I set up my phone with any sort of security, it keeps going back to swipe to unlock. If I try the PIN option, it only asks for a PIN when it first boots up. Once its up and running and I go to lock and unlock the screen, it says swipe to unlock. It does the same when I set up pattern, face, face with voice, pin, and password security. It always just goes back to swipe to unlock. I got this phone for my girl and I'm trying to convince her to switch to Android because she's a avid Apple user and uses PIN on her phone now and it works fine. She'll never accept this new phone if I can't even get this simple feature to work for her. The phone is stock no root nothing. All I did was throw some apps in for her. Am I missing something here? This works fine on my LG Optimus G Pro that's rooted but I can't for the life of me figure out why it wont work on the Active that's not rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks guys.
Okay it seems to ask for the PIN when I leave the phone idle for a few minutes. Isn't it supposed to work as soon as I lock and unlock? Say I lock the screen and set it down for a sec and decide to pick it back up again to unlock it, shouldn't it ask for the PIN right away? If I don't give it time it doesn't bother asking to verify PIN. This phone is great and I'm so tempted to get a regular S4 for myself but issues like this irritate me to no end.
Go into Settings > Lock Screen > set it up how you want it > "Secured Lock Time" and check "Immediately"

This is strange, I'd like my phone to do just that. Require a PIN if I leave it locked for an hour, and default to swipe if it's within the hour so I can use lock screen widgets.
Could you get the swipe to appear when you lock it with the power key, or just when you left it for a minute?

From what I understand the timmer on the option my-blue-snog-box mentioned doesn't start till the lockscreen is active so it'll goto the swipe screen if you hit the power button or you leave it sitting and and autolocks.

Do you have Tasker? You can do it with the Secure Settings plugin (might need donate version).

there r 2 settings...screen off timeout and lock timeout after screen off.
the longest lock timeout is 30 minutes.
if the screen is off, pressing the home button before lock timeout will on the screen without any lock, not even swipe.
under settings, screen timeout is under display section while lock timeout is under lock screen section.
Hey @staverton, PM me. I'll make you a Tasker profile (or a little app so you don't need Tasker if you don't have it), but you need to let me know exactly what you want it to do.

[Q] Screen rotation issue

Here my question, has anybody faced screen rotation problem?
I'm running cyanogenmod 10.2.
My screen often turns itself when I'm using an app, but my auto rotation is off and when i want to turn it back to normal it doesn't work, only solution is to press home button and then he just goes back to normal to the homescreen.
It happens on cyanogenmod 10.2 and omnirom 4.3 (think it does also on other cm versions)
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks.
SOLUTION: Go to Samsung Galaxy Advanced settings (not the usual settings) and uncheck Use Calibration Data, then calibrate.

Something similar happend to me today. I checked use calibration data in Advanced setting. If you did same, uncheck it. In CM10.2 there is separate app for that I think. Called Advanced settings in drawer. In CM10.1 it is in settings.

Installed 3rd party lockscreen

I installed KK Locker and it gives you the option to disable default locker so you don't have to unlock two screens. This does work when the screen goes to sleep on its own, however, when I hit the power button to manually put it to sleep, when I turn it back on I have to unlock both the default Sammy lock screen and KK locker. Do any of you know if there is something that I can do to find and disable the Sammy lock screen? Thanks in advance for any help

Have you gone into settings/device/lockscreen and selected NONE for the screenlock settings? Disabling through that 3rd party app is sometimes not enough.

It was my understanding that the Sammy lockscreen could not be disabled...but maybe I misunderstood.
