[Q] Wake to unlock

I'm wondering if there's a way to make it so other buttons will wake the phone so you see the lock screen. Ideally the home button, but I'd be happy with just the volume rocker

There is an app and it works really well.... I forgot the name though
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App

It's called No Lock

I may use no lock since I can't seem to find a good lock screen that will show email sms and weather. However I meant how can I get the phone to respond to more than just the power button from a black screen...
Thanks anyway

widgetlocker able to show emails and other widgets.
it able to wakeup phone with volume keys "sometimes".

This is actually my biggest gripe about the phone! Only way to wake it is to hit the power button. Lame. Unless someone knows something I don't

If you enable No Lock you can use the volume rocker as well as the power button to wake the phone

Weird. Not for me. Only power button awakens. I'm running Launcher Pro... wonder if that could be it?

[Q] Unlock Screen With Home or Search Key?

Hi guys, I have searched for awhile but with no luck. I am looking for an app that will turn my home or search button into an unlock key.
When the phone is locked I just long press the home or search key and my phone unlocks. I don't really like pressing the power button.
Thanks!

those buttons are non functional until you press the power button. they're not physical buttons so they can't be used for what you want

Tap tap app works with the proximity sensor to wake up and turn off the screen of the phone ( kinda like using the force ). When you wake the screen just unlock using the normal screen ring to middle swipe.

Fix broken power button app?

Currently testing out this app....

Just played around with it and this app actually UNLOCKS the phone. No more swiping needed to unlock the ring, even though the lockscreen is cool an all. This can be disabled if you do enjoy the lockscreen app .
This app does skip that but right now unsure on how it affects battery.

Hey, quick question in regards to the Tap Tap app. I've been using it and so far fine, but wondering if this wears out the proximity sensor in any way? Red light kind of always on? Or am I being a bit paranoid?

[Q] Hardware touch keys with screen off

The power button of my i9023 completely died so I remapped the search button as power button by modifying the key layout file in /system/usr/keylayouts/ but it seems that hardware touch keys are inactive when the screen is off.
Is there a way to enable them? I already tried adding the WAKE flag but it doesn't work.

These keys are not kept on when the screen is off. You'd be better using something such a volume wake (wake phone by pressing vol + or -) instead. Lots of roms have it in their options.

I already have the volume wake but it doesn't work when listening to music so I installed Tap Tap to unlock also with the proximity sensor; this thread was more for curiosity and aesthetic reasons than for real need.
So, from what I understand, that behaviour is hardware related thus impossible to be changed by software.

Hm, I have one question, is something like this:[KERNEL]Slide 2 Wake possible on our device?

I believe it would need to be implemented in the kernel. I don't think anybody took the time to check deep enough to do that for our Nexus.
Kinda wish we had it too.

Home button to unlock?

I have a pattern lock on my phone, and I was wondering if there was a way to set the lock screen so when I press the home button the pattern view shows.
The way that I would like this to work is as follows:
I pick my phone up and wake it up in my preferred way (double click home button), I then check to see if I have any notifications, if so I double click and interact that way, but if not, again press the home button to show the 9 dots and allow me to put my pattern in.
Is this a possibility, I'm currently running CM13.
Thanks
