[Q] How to wake up G2X with volume rocker? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Any free app out there that will keep the stock home screen and allow me to use the volume rocker to wake up the phone?
I know widget locker and simple home screen do the job but I was wondering if there is anything else out there.
Thanks.

I swear I saw this somewhere but was never able to find it. I started thinking it does not exist. I'm in if it exists I want it bad.

Cm7 has an option to enable it. I don't know of any market app that would do this though

Cm had a long pressfor an application option but I don't recall it actually waking up the screen.

[Q] How do you change the vibration intensity?

Just installed a new rom and it vibrates like crazy. Is there a way to change how hard it vibrates or do I need to jump over to a new rom? It's the bionix rom by the way.

CM7 is the only one I know for sure allows vibration intensity adjustment. I don't blame bionix, however. The Gingerbread leak had the same massive vibration as compared to the froyo stock.
try looking up the trinity kernal, it fixes the vibration intensity for some roms
Aww. I thought it would be an easier fix than that, like it was some setting that I just didn't see. Thanks guys

Back button issues?

I seem to be having some problems with my back button. It works, but it seems much less responsive than the other buttons. Would this be a hardware issue or software controlling the buttons? I'm running NScollab .23 with netarchy 1.3.2 cfs kernel.

Best battery life with custom rom/kernel

Suggestions? I currently use cm7 151 with faux's oc/uv 0.4.2 kernel. Not really happy with battery life, only get about 7 hours with moderate use. I have great signal everywhere I go.

I'm in the same boat. 8 hours ish on Weapon 2.7 - doesn't matter which kernel, or how much I undervolt it.

How heavy is your usage and how long does the battery last?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I'm going to give EB 2.2 a try seeing as it's new with faux's kernel and hopefully have a better time with it then last time.
Hope to post back with good results battery-wise.
I get about 12 hours with Eagleblood and the kernal it comes with. I use setCPU to lower the clock speed when the screen is off. I can use the phone at work for most of my 10 hour shift listening to music and browsing facebook or other apps that use data on my lunch and breaks along with texting a lot throughout my shift.

which eb version and is it 2.3.3 or 2.3.5?
Thanks in Advance
I know this thread is about batt life, but what about games are there any rom / kernel combos that make games look and run better?
I'm using xboarders stock debloated and tweaked rom with stck kernel and I also get about 12 hours of light to moderate use in a day.
fauxs kernel causes my phone to black screen and shut off some times.

im using EB 2.2 Faux 4.2 the one that dose no OC or UV and it took me 8 hours of super heavy usage trying to waist my battery for me to drain it hope this helps
My solution is My custom overlay on cm7 nightly 158 with faux123's cm7 kernel STANDARD VOLTAGE with setcpu tuning it down to the second to lowest voltage when the screen goes off. My battery lasts about 35 hours!!!! I know this because I took an overnight trip.

[KERNEL][09 Jul 12] GINGERBREAD s2w [2.6.35.14][smartassv2][sweep2wake]

This is a CyanogenMOD 7 based kernel for Android 2.3 a.k.a GINGERBREAD.
It is made for all the "stability" fans that are still using any Gingerbread AOSP ROM.
I have made this for personal use, then decided to share.
Enjoy!​Features:
- Sweep2wake functionality
- SMARTASSV2 governor (my favourite) set as default
Download: View attachment sweep2wake.zip
md5sum: B16D93A776589947302BF524648A3909
Installation: flash in the Recovery
Issues:
- during the testing it occurred that after swiping to sleep the device is not going to Deep sleep which results in a heavy battery drain. My workaround is to use the free Screen lock and off app for locking the phone properly
- sometimes the touch screen is not responsive after wake. Unlike the ICS version here this problem is solved by pushing the Power button twice​Thanks to:
showp1984 and his source for atmel touchscreen devices
Team CyanogenMOD and especially Nexx
Cyaniarb and his Tiamat kernel​
Cool, thanks!
My mobile
Goes into deep sleep with no problems and screen look responsive
That's great. thanks for share.
Tried it on reaper, it's working but 8 out of the 10 times it's making screen shots instead of going to sleep... Don't know if it's the kernel or reaper?

The same here. Maybe the device thinks we are pressing power + home to make a screenhot.
Edit: If you leave out the back or menu button during swipe then it works, no screenshot is made %)

Hi guys
This is a part of the Reaper features:
Code:
- Added screenshot capability with Power+Home key combo (hold Power, then press Home)
- Added Search Key longpress override: Screenshot, Recent Apps, Power Menu (Reaper Control)
- Added Home Key longpress override: Screenshot, Power Menu (Reaper Control)
Since the s2w code emulates the same signal as pressing the power button (screen_state_off) it is possble that the device confuses both...
The kernel was tested on CM7 which has not these features implemented and works fine.
I have used Reaper some time ago but cannot remember are there any settings to disable the screenshot feature...if there is then your issue will be solved
Well, you should always know the capabilities of the ROM you use...
I just had a look at the settings, but couldn't find anything to disable the feature. But I added the "go to standby" button to the energy widget, so it's not a big problem. For me it's enough to power on the phone with s2w. So thanks for the kernel!

Actually my idea was the same - I have no intentions to upgrade the device soon, so I have to spare my hardware buttons

Works fine for me while set on smartassV2 even after swiping to sleep, the device going to Deep Sleep (tested with CPU Spy v0.4.0)
Can't wait for the update on this, or there isn't :s

I assume(sorry if ignorant) that this kernel will replace the new reaper's kernel.
or not?
Sent from my HTC Desire S
Well the kernel is not an unlimited are of change. This one is based on the latest CM7 one that is heavily optimized. The only additions are s2w and the governor. No point of adding s2w switch since if someone does not use it he can go with the CM7 default or the Reaper one.
Actually I was considering a revision but there is nothing more to add

Poll: Trinity vs Faux

Just gauging how many of you are still using Trinity kernel considering it hasn't been updated in months, while Faux is continually working on his kernel.
I've noticed freezing/overheating issues with Faux but I like that it's updated often enough.
Edit: By no means am I putting down Trinity kernel, just interested in the numbers

Trinity has been solid for a long time. My phone works much better with it. No need to update for the sake of updating.
Harsh is far better for.both of my g2x
Sent via G2X-SINGH-UI
On GB:
I prefer Trinity. It's been stable for some time and I can run my G2x for 35+ hours on moderate use. I've used Faux, but somehow I came back to Trinity.
On ICS:
I used Harsh when I was on ICS. But my experience in ICS generally has not been good (LG/NVidia not releasing drivers). So I came back to GB.
I prefer Faux
Trinity works better on my g2x. I think faux is a bit more aggressive, and my phone just acts better with the more conservative kernel.

On stock based 2.3.4 I like the stock kernel or Faux 014b2. On CM7 based I prefer TrinityELP for stability and batt life. I do find since Faux's 050 builds battery seems as good as ELP, and Faux has seemed to make scrolling super smooth. But Faux is still just a bit unstable on my phone. I am currently using the djvoleur adaptation of Harsh for CM7 roms. Its good too. I've had no probs with flashing between any of these kernels other than LED touch keys cannot be set to off when using Faux or Harsh.
I am a fan of all 3 - really...
Trinity ELP for GB
I tried everything out there and always go back to that. Fast, smooth, and good battery life. Plus it seems to be the only one that my phone's bluetooth can stay connected to my car's stereo. with other kernel (maybe coincidence), the two refuse to connect after a few connect/disconnect cycles.
also, many people say 24+ hr of moderate use. Is that with stock battery?
to me, moderate use = 3-4hr screen on time. 1hr phone call. wifi, BT, 4G, GPS always left on. 50% screen brightness. I typically get 12-18hr with trinity.
Heavy would be 5+hr screen on and more
Trinity gives me sleep of death, faux overheats and freezes I'm using the kernel that came with cm7 without any problems. Though I did get the SOD before I installed the build.prop tweaks

I've always been a big fan of morfic's Trinity ELP kernel (dated Feb. 6th, 2012). Unfortunately I don't see this kernel linked on his old site (just the ones dated in 2011).
faux all the way!!!!
