[Q] Disable the Power button menu when the phone is locked - General Questions and Answers

Hi.. I am looking for a method to disable the Power button menu when the phone is locked. I also don't mind if the solution disables it permanently.
I was interested in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811532
But couldn't find more info on disabling the power button menu in that thread. Since I am new I can't post my question in that thread.. :-(
I am ok with a similar solution as in one which involves editing the dex/odex files. Even though I am not a developer I know my way around that.
I am using Nexus S with CyanogenMod 7.0.3
Thanks in Advance!

Why you want to do that?
With cyanogen, yo can unlock with trackpad only if you want

i am using Nexus S, so no trackball option for me.
any other option?

any other solution? anyone?? wud really appreciate the info..

I am looking for a lock feature that locks the phone simply when you depress the power button. I have come accross all sorts of fancy ways of locking the phone, but not this.
Can someone please point me to this tweak (if it is indeed available)
Try the Advanced Settings of Sensorlock.

Not free, but I'm using Pocket Shield, and they have a trial you could try.

Which one and version please? Thanks
ok - installed. seems to be what I want. Thanks!
If I don't want to enable that feature in Advanced Configuration tool, is there another way to get to it? Or is there a Cab/App That I can use to lock unlock my phone? I like that ACT lets you lock the screen by pushine the power button, but sometime I just want to turn off the screen not lock it,,,

I can't seem to find this option in Advanced Config 3.3 either.
I'm sure it's probably a well known tip but I only just found it out (Got my Touch Pro yesterday) that you can hold the call end key to lock the device, which is better than nothing but I'd still rather have a way of making the power button do this too.

Thanx
Search for
CSDEVCTRL
from the forums here and use it ;-)
Ok, another question on the topic is there a way to add a lock button to the touchflo homepage?
Full Lock???
I have this thing that is bothering me.
When I have my Fuze on my belt ( screen locked using S2U2 ) and I activate Voice Command to make a call or just answer a call using my BT Headset the phone menu will come on with a big end call button in the middle.
Without fail I would move around and nudge the phone with the right force through the case and hang up on whoever I was talking to.
Is there an option in the S2U2 or another way of locking the phone so that when the screen is locked it's really locked?
thanks!
I reflashed and now can't get my device to lock when I press the power button. The device won't lock at all, even when I hold the end key.
How did you get it to lock when you press the power button?

use Pattern Lock not menu

well, i have searched the forums perhaps i did not use the right keywords did nto find anything
so here it goes..

It is just a windows mobile setting:
Start -> Settings -> System -> Key lock -> do not lock keys (or something like that, I have a dutch phone).
Make sure you have a good locking solution, like TouchLockPro, because your phone will awake regularly when the keys are pressed.
Hi ZuinigeRijder.
First of all thank u for ur reply.
Then, unfortunately I can't find these options on my phone (in the latest three different ROMs I've tried these options are no more in the settings, one 6.1 and two 6.5 ROMs).
Some times ago I've found a post with a registry hack to obtain that result.
But now I can't find that post anymore.
Thank u very much
Sorry, I've found it!!!
And here it is for all who need it:
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd\DefaultKeyLock
set it to 0 and all the hardware keys will wake up the phone.
Thank you for all.
Actually here is the easier way. Install this control panel app, to control the key lock. Its made by HTC, and has been included on their devices for a looong time now. But I do believe certain OEM's/Carriers remove this for some unknown reason.
doesen't work
I'm trying to do the opposite...I'm trying to disable all keys wake up...but that registry entry and HTC key lock app doesnt work for my HD2.

Did you soft reset after installation?
And I would have no idea why it doesn't work on the HD2??
Confirmed - Key Lock Cab on HD2 Does not Work
Confirmed, loaded the Key Lock cab, reset phone.
Start>Settings>All Settings>System>Key Lock -
elected <Lock all buttons except for power button>
Reset the Phone
Phone can still be powered back on by any hardware button
Would appreciate any assistance.

What device are you using? As far as I know this should work on most if not all HTC Winmo devices.

It is an HD2. Several people have advised that Key Lock does not work with HD2.

Unlock phone with soft keys?

First of all, is it even possible to assign soft keys to unlock the phone?
I've tried adding "WAKE_DROPPED" to "key 102 HOME" in "pyramid-keypad.kl" but the home button doesn't unlock the phone even after a restart. I've also tried pulling/pushing the file via adb in recovery mode.
Bumping...
My first post here (and unfortunately, not such a useful one), but here goes a soft bump from me too
Please... can someone shed some light on this? I just don't want to use the Home or Power button(s) to unlock my SGS2. Shake or Voice (LOL) or Soft Keys would be cool... B-)
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Oops, just realised it's a thread for HTC Sensation :dumb me:
There is a kernal mod out there I think for hd2 where you swipe the soft keys and will unlock and lock
Lol, hd2 doesn't have soft keys.
But you are.correct, its kernel mod. Show considered doing it but changed his.mind IIRC.

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
i want this feature too!!! anyone can enlighten us???
I had completely forgotten about this thread.. I found an app which allows you to unlock with the proximity sensor. But I haven't used it since starting this thread so I can't remember the name. I quit using it because it would unlock when I put it in my pocket.

^^ Haha yea, I can understand. It might have gotten more painful than a solution really. But, please interrogate your neurons... and try to recollect the name of the app. Please please please. Thanks
i can see that this mod would be kinda cool, however u realise that it would mean keeping the capacitive soft buttons powered on all the time ready for input, basiclly it would stop deep sleep and keep the soft keys draining the battery non stop...

[Q] Wake by using Volume Rocker

Hi guys,
I was searching for quite some time now and found one similar mod on the xda forum for what I am looking for (but unfortunately only for the Nexus 4).
My aim is to be able to wake the device by using the volume rocker in addition to the standard power button.
I have already tried editing the generic.kl file in /system/usr/keylayout/ by adding WAKE behind the VOLUME_DOWN value with no success and would like to know if there is any other way to accomplish this.
Thank you for your help.
PS: If anybody also knows how to achieve a maximized lockscreen widget on wake instead of the standard minimized one that would help me as well

app called touch control will most likely be able to incorporate Nexus 5 to wake up with knock or slide. Also, "turn off the screen" app is helpful for now.
In case you still concern, it is implemented in the GravityBox, under Navigation key, VOLUME ROCKER
