How to wake phone up with trackball?

Hey all,
Anyone know what I need to do to make it where I can press my trackball to wake my phone instead of the top button? Thanks a lot!

you have to have a custom rom installed in order to do this, the standard vanilla android will not allow you to do this.

Installing CyanogenMod would accomplish what you are asking for.

please post this in the correct forum next time
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=603

Actually most if not all lock screen replacements do this if you don't want to root.. though you are losing your lock screen for some crappy alternative.

Thanks for the advice...I will put it in Q&A next time my bad sorry!
I just manually installed Froyo 2.2 FRF72 on my N1...I heard there is a prerooted rom you can install but I think its Modaco only? Do you think Cyan will release something like this soon thats prerooted cause I would love to get some cyan and have the trackball thing working!
THANKS for your comments!

Think Cyanogen is going to be away this week but cm6 test0 is being tested somewhere It will come soon enough

No need to root your N1, just install [Lockbot Pro v1.14.1.apk]
Lockbot Pro can wake up your phone by pressing trackball or volume keys

You can also try "No Lock", which is free.
It removes the need to slide to unlock and also allows Trackball and Volume Keys wake.
It also has a widget for a quick activation of the normal waking, so the phone doesn't wake all the time when it's in your pocket.

FlyScreen is another. And this is the third "how do I wake by tracbkall?" thread I've seen in a few weeks....

Thanks vitorjna for the info
I just stumbled on this thread by accident but your suggestion is really appreciated!
I'd always hate having my Nexus One music going in my car and having to go through the unlock screen if I wanted to skip a song. I even started using Cubed music player since it has a lockscreen widget but the music player itself is pretty bad. Now I can go back to using the regular music player that I like more without having to worry about driving unsafe.

No Lock works but I don't want my Lock Screen removed, I just want wake with trackball.
Flyscreen is crap, I don't want the widgets so I removed them but now I get an update thing every time I get to the lockscreen.
Is there any app like No Lock but with lockscreen?

The way these programs work is that they dismiss the system keyguard (Because the keyguard is what prevents the phone from waking when the trackball is pressed). This is done by creating a window with FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD. Then the system keyguard is gone and the app can either close, leaving no keyguard (Like no lock), or act as a pseudo keyguard (like flyscreen). There is no way to force the system keyguard to activate again after it's dismissed.
Cyanogen's method is better because it's a custom rom.
If you want to try another lockscreen I can recommend my own WidgetLocker, which has Easy Wake (trackball wake) and has slide to unlock and won't try to download widget updates (It uses actual Android Widgets, not those flyscreen ones, so you can control your music from the lockscreen or put BetterHome there or whatever).

I find I like no lock the best for the moment. Most times I dont want the lock feature but when I do its one tap of the 1x1 widget and its on. One tap and its off on the flipside. Used it on cm as well since I prefer the volume rocker to wake.

Hello,
can you tell me how to setup lockbot pro to wake up when I press the trackball? after a while, nothing I do will turn on my N1, except for the power button. and I hate using the power button to turn on my phone.
Thanks

I've tried "No Lock" and it works well. However its unable to unlock when "pin/password" is enabled.(forced by my exchange email account)
Anyone know of something that can bypass this too ?

[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

Volume rocker wake up

Good day friends,
On the Atrix 4g and Atrix 2 there was a way to configure your device so it would wake up from sleep when pressing volup/voldn; of course, you had to be de-odexed and modify policy.jar and some other stuff; does anyone know if there is a way to have the Atrix HD wake up on rocker press?

This is probably not the solution you're looking for, but i believe that magic locker lets you do that.

Yeah, I saw the setting in there while trying out the lock screen, personally I didn't have a reason to use it, but it should be in the main app's settings

[Q] MOD for wake screen with shake or volume or ...

hi, is it any mod in cyanogen or stock for lg 4x that wake screen with volume or shaking or any other way? i searched and tested some programs but not works good and i think it must implemented in a MOD.
why cyanogen dosnt have it? old versions (7 in my nexus one) had this option...
if its possible to shake wake, Dose shake wake drains battery?
.powe button is in very bad place!

Arararagi rom based on CM has option to wake by pressing vol keys. It is under display settings.

i have that rom and its my only option to volume wake, but want a mod that work in any CM based rom , if its possible. because that rom have many options more and its not last stable CM.
and second question is about shaking phone to wake, is it possible and is it battery drainer?

I'm not sure if this is the right path, but this may help us abit in finding clues??

[REQUEST] Slide to Wake

Back in the days of the Galaxy Nexus, there was an app to wake the phone by simply sliding your finger from left to right. It required root and a kernel that supports some feature.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...pp-mod-touchcontrol-pgm-galaxy-nexus-t1721895
It saved my power button from wearing out. I hope there will be one available for the S6. :good:

No one interested?

i think a kernel with doubletap to wake feature will be better,

I don't like double tap as it can happen accidentally in the pocket and no custom kernels for the s6 for now.

I miss my doubleTaptoWake feature from my G2. I would be so excited if someone could make this happen

I have slide to wake using nova launcher and secure settings.
In nova settings go to gesture settings - slide up (or any gesture you prefer) - secure settings - lock device.
Yoy can even apply it to just one icon instead of full screen

That's slide to lock, not the same thing as slide to wake when the device is off. Also, there are some apps that can lock the screen with a single tap.

Bump.
