Trackball wake on FroYo?

Since updating to FroYo I keep thinking my phone is broken because it won't wake up, but then I realize I have to wake via power button now...
any root apps to re-enable this until CM6 is out?

there's menu unlock by teamdouche; it uses the menu button instead of trackball to unlock, but you still need to press the power button to wake the phone

Hmm, sorta pointless for me. I can deal with slide to unlock, I just hate power to wake.

I'd like the same ... it's annoying to have to go back to using the power button.

Anyone?
Isn't it possible to just extract the function from a recent CM build and make a installable package to use until CM 6?
Need trackball wake!

I find myself pressing the trackball multiple times before realizing I have to use the power button again . Pressing that power button sucks when you have a gel case. Trackball wake is needed!

i wish to have it as well. froyo doesn't bring it .

Until it is effectively ported, you guys are welcome to using a lockscreen replacement.

Just discovered a way to have trackball wakeup on the N1 running fro-yo!
Install an app called screen mode and set it on your home screen as a widget. Switch to Awake stay mode and voila! Trackball wake up! I tried tinkering with it and if you set it to regular mode the trackball wake up won't work. Have been using this app for a long time now and never realized that it does this lol.

Well it works. It doesn't turn the screen back off but I assume that people just want the wakeup feature.

What does awake stay mode do?

Awesome. Works, but yes what is stay awake mode? Does is not sleep meaning using battery?

It's a good app but I preffer the slide to unlock protection after trackball press instead of jumping directly to the menu. Pressing volume or trackball buttons by error will open the screen.
I think we don't have other solutions than wait for an Enom or CM roms

Keyguard Disabler works perfect on 2.2. Once installed goto shortcuts and set it to "disable".

I think Google needs to release the source code for 2.2 before this is possible.

Any updates?

Use "No Lock" (free in market) in combination with "FlyScreen" (free on market).
Wakes phone with trackball and brings you to a customizable lock screen that looks almost like the stock 2.1 lock screen. I'm using this and love it.

Home screen rotation gone..

Hey guys, just did a master reset to refresh the phone as I have been using it since the day it came out and it was getting laggy and now the home screen wont rotate
I use that a lot since it scales perfect and the phone is great to hold in landscape. I also do not remember ever setting it up. The screen rotation is enabled but it wont do it. I downloaded some app that forces it but it takes too long, puts an icon on my task bar and takes up some RAM so I uninstalled it.
Any ideas?

On the home screen, right click and choose 'home screen settings', then uncheck 'portrait view only' and your home screen should rotate

Thank you Sir!!!

Look screen button app

Hey,
somebody know an app when you press the button on home screen device is going standby and next time waking up with fingerprint or iris or face recognition still work? Same function the hardware power button does.
Thanks

I an using Nova Launcher and set a gesture for screen off. Perhaps you want to try that as well.

Or you can use greenify and set swiping up of an ICON (mine is app drawer) to go to hibernate and sleep

How to lock screen without pressing power button?

Hi!
I'm wondering if I can lock my device without pressing the power button. In my galaxy s9+, I used the "custom navigation bar" app to add an invisible power button to the navigation bar, but this app CRASHED my note9!!!!
I spent 2 hours trying to solve the issue without losing my apps and stuff, successfully. Now I want to use another way to save my power button.
I installed an app called "home launcher" to use the home long press to call another app instead of google search, but every app to lock screen causes the fingerprint sensor to stop working without password.
I miss my old Xiaomi Mi 6
Someone knows how to do this?

you can install an app called "turn off screen (lock screen)" by redmanit from the play store. it gives you the option to put an icon on the homescreen or from your notifications drop down, press it and it'll lock your phone in 5 seconds. this is the only app i know of that works with the note 9's android 8.1

Nova launcher can do it as far as I know.

Installed a 3rd party screen off app. Using the widget Extended Date which then gives you the settings to show time/date/week/day/etc. There's a function to link to any app in this case screen off. Thus touching the date switches off the screen. Been using this setup way back when I still had my Note 2. Still works (both the screen off app and the widget).

Turn on the Assistant Menu. That has a lock button that will turn your screen off. It will not "lock" your phone, just turn off the screen. Screen locks @ whatever you've set as the lock out time (screen locks "x" number of seconds after pressing power button). If you want to "lock" it instantly, requiring password to open, I use Nova Launcher and a screen input gesture. That locks it instantly and requires, I think, your password - not your fingerprint.
See screenies for info.

The functionality is built right into One Hand Operation+ in the Good Lock App

you can use OHO+ without goodlock though, if you only need the lockscreen gesture.
OHO+ is a "standalone" app, luckily.

Screen lock button in navbar via good lock + navstar ?

Question Fast acces to camera with screen on?

Hi all,
What is the fastest way to start up the camera when the screen is on?
Is there a secret button combination?

You can set camera in side panel shortcuts

I have that already, but it's often a miss as I perform a back gesture instead.
Too bad it isn't possible to program the power button to start an app with a quick double press.

If you turn the screen off then quickly draw a 0 or a zero it will go straight to camera. Quicker than side loading. You might need to set it up in gestures.
Also if you draw a V you can access the flashlight

have you tried taptap on github, simply double tap back of your phone to launch camera while screen on/off or other apps/shortcuts/utilities

Tried it a while ago and more often than not failed. I'll try it again though, thx
