Hey guys.
Just wondering if there was an app or .apk file that would wake up the screen with the Trackpad and pressing it again to unlock it. Let me know if its in a Rom too.
I'm running Virtuous v2.7
Thanks. Just got my DI yday from a D2
Cyanogenmod has the wake and unlock features that you are looking for, but if you could do with an iffy wake on trackpad, there is a qwerty,kl file that you can modify to wake your dinc.
Skyraider has it in it's extras. If you do a search there is a thread for track pad wake in the development area.
Here this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729923
Almost forgot it's track pad to wake, menu to unlock.

I downloaded RomManager and there is a "optical trackpad wake" that you download and it installs for you. It is kind of hit and miss though. For some reason when my phone is plugged in charging it works every single time. When the phone is off the charger it will work sporadically. Sometimes it wakes on the first press, sometimes you have to hold the button down, sometimes you have to hit it like 3-4 times.
I was wondering with the cyanogenmod, is it as sporadic as this? Does it work every time without fail?
I like that it takes a bit to wake. If not it would be unlocking all the time in my purse. Probably why my Moto Q would be dead in about an hour in my purse. Much less my Moto Q would wake and unlock and make calls from my purse. My poor friends and husband always got these calls from me that my purse made. LOL!
Thanks homies but what is Skyraider? Rom? Radio? Kernel?

LOL! You have a lot of reading to do here. I read for about a week before I did any modifications to my phone. You might want to start out in the development thread. Lots to learn there, and all the answers to what these things are will be found there.

I was running MIUI for a couple of weeks with no problem, a couple of days ago the lights on the keyboard and the circular buttons on the phone quit working. I didn't really think much about it, just figured it was a theme I applied just didn't agree with my phone. I tried restoring a nand of MIUI and still no lights. So yesterday I flashed mikshift ROM and still no dice. I'm now running the leak from yesterday and still none of my lights are working. I really don't want to run the ruu and go to sprint unless I absolutely have to.. any ides?

Excuse my ignorance but how would I remove the hboot and recovery without unzipping the file?
Edit: Never mind.. dumb question. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a shot when I have a little free time today.
I have had the same problem using several roms. One fix that worked for me was to disable auto-brightness, reboot, enable auto-bright, reboot again with my finger covering the sensor & both keyboard+onscreen lights work again. Try it if you haven't already.

Hey it's not my fault this app adds in a stupid signature ;-)
I can manually remove it but then I have to push more buttons.
CM nightly builds have a lot of issues but Sense roms are a big no-no for privacy reasons. Look at the logs and see for yourself what the damn OS is doing in the background. Sprint & Google don't need to broadcast audio from my phone everytime I take a crap and the cops already get informed when you go over 65mph on the freeway anyways. Have you seen the secret Sprint web app that law enforcement uses on people? I have.

Well it looks like I'm not going to be able to do this until later tonight or tomorrow. Just a question, why is the file size in your link so much smaller than the one in the original thread??
It should be the same file since I've used it before. I will do an MD5 check and reupload if it's a mismatch. Does anyone have the MD5 sum of the original? If so pls post it. Thanks
EDIT:
Here is the updated link: http://web2.google-it.info/PG06IMG-backup.zip
MD5 Checksum: b213b282889e173f53b3a871a4941ffd
Again someone please confirm the checksum. Sorry about the broken link.
Well ran the one "zip" back to stock and still no lights.. Not real sure what the issue is. I have noticed over the past 24 hours that the lights on the keyboard will randomly work but it's not consistent. Guess I'll be heading to Sprint at some point.
How i fix the keyboard lights
This is how i fix the lights on my keyboard, the home and and menu buttons those still dont know how. First you go to settings>display>check automatic brightness>go to system update>update profile> turn off screen (on/off button), this is the important part! unlock your cell phone using the keyboard. Dont press on/off button then slide the keyboard for some random reason that doesnt work, just slide the keyboard on landscape mode then the light of the keyboard should work i think. Hope this work for someone else too.
Hi,
I just wanted to ask if there's a possibility to implement "softkey swipe 2 wake/unlock" (similar to the HTC desire trackpad to wake/unlock)
thx
This would be so nice. Currently my routine is: press power button to wake, swipe screen, then enter pattern to unlock. Seems ridiculous.

Same here, it's so annoying. I quite like the face unlock, especially in the car,uch easier, but what's the point if I have to move that ring before I unlock?
Someone must know how to remove it, and just use the pattern unlock or the face unlock?
I know on CM9 you can disable the lockscreen completely (power goes straight to homescreen or open app) but cm9 on this phone isnt quite usable as an end user yet, but maybe devs might be able to put this into one of the sense roms, although im guessing this would be the least of their worries.
I think the softkey swipe to unlock would look sexy as hell though

Would be a great idea but probably uses too much battery life to keep monitoring the screen for input.
Yea I loved the Swipe2Wake function on the Sensation. It did hit the battery life pretty hard though.
Functionality wise it was amazing though especially when driving.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA
Once we get source release this will hopefully be possible.
Just arrived on One X and used it myself for a bit. Battery wasn't hit too hard but the battery was awful anyway
Thats a great feature, hope comes for One S
It would be very useful to remove the lockscreen, the only flaw is the battery
Well, what if we would make it work only when the screen is turned on, so after you've pressed the power button. then it wouldn't drain that much of the battery and it would still look cool
I have a related question for which I have needed the answer for about 2 years...
How do you lock your desktop? As in causing the ring lock screen to come up by choice... I have always just found this lock screen up after x minutes...but I don't know how to turn it on when I want.
I am sure there is a way, but I have not found it. Anyone?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
I don't have the names handy, but have used screen lock apps from the market. You should be able to find a solution there. For those that find it a pain to hit the power button.. (me)

If you turn off HTC Gestures, you will get 10 point touch.
Otherwise its just 2.

Forget the noob questions:
1) What would be gained from 10 point touch (i.e. benefits)?
2) What does HTC gestures actually do for us?
1. Some apps require more points. i.e. a guitar app forming a chord.
2. htc gestures is only for the 3 finger swipe up for "Media Link HD" which is for wireless screen mirroring.

Nice one (I was wondering wth htc gestures were). When I first saw it I was hoping it meant for things like lockscreen gestures, etc.
We really need a sticky for tips, etc for things like this. I know we have limitations without root but I bet there are still quite a few little tips/tweaks that would be helpful.
Nice tip. I was wondering why some gaming was failing. Downloaded xmen from amazon app store yesterday and the joystick kept screwing up while i pressed the other keys.
I was having a problem where my phone would go to Media Link while I was on calls (guess my face was rubbing it and kicking off the gesture). Turned the gesture thing off and no longer have that problem.
**** yeah!
Quick question: I'm trying to play shadow gun but every time I let go of a second touch it stops holding the first touch. Is there any way to fix this? It makes the higher end FPS games unplayable.

I'm using CleanROM DE.
So we won't be able to use AOSP based roms without issues then?

I wonder if there is a way to configure the volume side button to light the screen instead of the power button or do I just have to wait until natural evolution lengthen my pointing finger
Many thanks

I'm sure someone could make a MOD for rooted ROMs that'll do this. I've never seen anyone request this before, so I'm not sure how much luck you'll have getting that done unless you dev it yourself.
If I had short fingers, I definitely wouldn't have bought this phone, but using the power button isn't a problem for me.

I had to thank you for making me laugh! I don't mind where the power button is personally, just how it's implemented. It's angled forward, your finger reaches from the back which is what makes it difficult to push for me. I would have much rather preferred it be flat or angled towards the back.
Edit: I loved the power button on my Atrix, it was very easy and natural to me.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I'd like to see this mod too. I find the power button a bit hard to reach/push at times. It probably won't be a quick fix, but I'll do some digging.

It's actually a very common request/mod. CM7 ROMs have an option for it as well as some apps, like WidgetLocker, that have an option for it called "Easy Wake". Unfortunately, I haven't found an app that allows for it to work on the One X yet.

I didnt like the angle of the Atrix's power button bc it made me pick the phone up from my desk to wake it up, but i did like how it was recessed a little not to mention that the fingerprint scanner was one of the most useful features i've ever found on a phone. seriously.
There is an app called Button Remapper that does this (I use it on my Evo 4G). I'm not sure if it will work on the One X, I don't have mine yet.

So, I was recently reading about how the One will (at some point) be able to be hacked so that the HTC logo can be used as a button. Somewhere around page 4 in the thread, an EVO 4G LTE owner mentioned that there was a ROM for their phone where someone created two "phantom buttons" between the 3 buttons. This was possible (for those who don't know) because the entire bottom portion of the bezel is touch sensitive. This can be seen by dragging the ring on the the lockscreen of Sense ROMs of the screen and still being able to control it. Also, I'm assuming, sweep2wake is made using this same principle.
So my point is, do any developers have any ideas if it would be possible to create these so called "phantom buttons" for our phones? I'm not a dev so I can't help accomplish this, but it's an interesting idea Imo that I felt I'd put out there.
I thought months ago when beastmode kernel was still being worked on by sbryan that he implemented something like that. I can't remember what happened or if I'm just completely wrong.
I've heard talks about it but with regards to sweep to wake widths.

Should be possible, just part of the digitizer.

In my phone too the panel below the screen is touch sensitive
Sent from my rooted A52 with xzoom 3.0 rom
Start from the beginning of the cm10 thread. (Not 10.1)
This was used before it was official and the remap of the app switch key was implemented. Basically it was like an x y coordinate on the digitizer, that the phone was told there was a button there.
+1 I love this idea but what would you use the extra buttons for?

You could use one as a menu button and use the multitasking button as... A multitasking button. Also, a dedicated camera or Google Now button.
I would make a xda button, or perhaps male it start playing terminator 2 from when I left off.
Sent from my HTC One XL
A dedicated camera button would be nice.
Menu and search. I really miss the search button, believe it or not..
This post was created and transmitted completely in analog.
Yes, its possible and quite easy to add. vmagro (vinvinvinster) did something like this when he was doing CM9 back in the first few months of AOSP since at that point a button remap was not yet decided.
Thing is though, that it modifies the ROM's frameworks so it probably won't make it into any official builds. ever. And even if it was added, it could only act as either:
HOME
MENU
BACK
SEARCH
APPSWITCH
I believe that is it. I guess a MENU and SEARCH buttons could be made between the buttons if desired, but again, it would probably just lead to much more user confusion and stuff. Not sure if its worth it.
