Is there a mod specific to the Xoom for waking the device with the volume keys? I've tried 4 or 5 apps that claim to do it, but they all fail to wake the device if it's been sleeping for an extended period of time. I have a Roocase, and it's very difficult to reach the button.

I'd like to wake up my device by (lets say ) home button except power button. I dont wanna use power button every time when it's on sleep. Is it possible? How can I? I tried Topaz Keyboard Control 1.4 but it couldn't work as the way I like. I remapped the home button for power management, it turns on&off but directly, not after it goes into sleep.
Change
HKCU\\ControlPanel\Keybd\DefaultKeyLock
from 1 to 0.
So? What will happen after that tweak done? Will it wake up by pressing home key?
After changing and soft reset, you can wake up device with any key.
You're great Fighter. You made my day again. Thank you very much.
waking up the device using a usb mouse
I am handicapt and can not use my hands. I control the samsung S6 using a special (mouth) controled mouse. That is working fine.
But my problem now is how I can wake up the device using the mouse. ?
Kind regards John
Back when I had my Nexus One, I had to use trackball wake since my power button broke. Reports of power buttons breaking were rampant. However, I haven't heard reports of the Sensation's power button breaking. So is using volume wake even necessary on this device?
some people have problem with the power button failing sometimes.. others just like to use the vol. buttons . i dont use it
I use the volume wake because I find it more convenient. And even though there have been no reports of the power button breaking, it seems on the fragile side ;D
I'm just wondering if everyone else is having issues with the volume rocker wake on the various CM and PA builds or if it's just my device. When the option is ticked in settings and the when the device's screen first goes off the volume keys WILL wake the device. If I allow the device the sit for a few minutes and then attempt to wake with the volume keys then they do not function.
I have a Galaxy SII (i9100 which I believe shares the same kernel that we're running) running CM9 and use this feature daily as it saves wear-and-tear on the power key.
I've looked for keymap files thinking that perhaps the issue may lay there but on both my phone and on the tablet the CM builds don't define specific keymaps for these devices so I don't suspect that's the issue.
Any help/thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
The only way I can turn on my Nexus 5 now is using adb and a computer. Is there a way to possibly turn on my phone on the road? Without the use of a computer?
You can remap with the Volume button.
Just double tap screen to wake
I didn't think the N5 had double-tap. My N6 needs an app, and be rooted, to do it.
Turning on the phone from sleep may be possible (double tap, magnetic screen case, remap button) but if it's been completely switched off...? How do you switch it on without a power button? The power button remap sounds feasible (how do you do that, by the way?) but then how do you change the volume?
yesterday my power button died, but I was able to turn on my N5 somehow. after, I've enabled the double tap to sleep on the statusbar and on the lockscreen and volume buttons now wake the device, but I wasn't able to remap the power button and if I accidentaly press it, I don't know what will happen. So, there's any method to completely disable the power button? I've tried with gravity box but there isn't any option to do this.
someone knows how to disable the power button from the .kl files in system/usr/keylaout?
And then, can I use the volume buttons to turn on the device when it's off or I have to keep it on forever?

thanks, but I don't know when I can repair it, so anyone knows a solution that temporaly disable the power button?
