Is there a way to make that work? you would just swipe from left to right or vice versa, the settings to search button, or backwards to unlock. Its a gesture method that I remember from my sisters HP laptop. She could swipe across all the capacitive shortcut keys at the top of the keyboard when the pc was off, and viola it would instantly turn on or start back up from sleep mode.
Thanks for suggestions!

Sweet idea! Not sure if it can be implemented...but it can be looked into!

Not sure if u mean unlocking after screen is turned on or unlocking from screen off state.
Activating this mode right from screen off state would mean power always being supplied to the touch sensitive keys, even in deep sleep mode, and result would be battery drain.
This might be a good idea after power is pressed and phone is out of sleep mode.
The lights can be constantly on and the battery drain is still irrelevant.
As for the OP, you can have the menu key unlock the phone.

old post but what i meant was to have it wake the phone and also unlock it to the home screen.
u should be able to have the bottom four buttons active all the time but with the lights off. also hitting any one or two buttons would do nothing. u would have to swipe all four to unlock and wake. or vice versa.

That'd be pretty cool but is there that much access to the hardware end to allow us to control what those buttons do?

Not 100% sure about that but I do know that there was someone who was able to unlock with just touching one button. I think its doable.

There is an App called buttonremapper by beansoft here on xda. Has a version for sgs variants. I tried it and set my search button to power my screen on and off, but only puts the screen in an off state. Didn't wake my phone up.

Basically, im sure others would like this too, i want to be able to unlock the screen without having to reach up on top of the phone. I previously had the HTC Hero and i found out the trick to unlock the phone by hitting menu twice. Would someone be able to configure an app that changes the way the phone unlocks. ps i saw something with the ringer keys, im not really too fond of it. Thanks
Even the Volume keys would be much better than the power button. The menu button as you mentioned would be even better. The power button to unlock when you have a hard case on is stressful lol. I cuss'd it every time i had to use it. I use No lock now which disables the lock screen and allows the volume keys to wake it. Even using the volume keys can get annoying though. No lock screen at all is the downside (to some), so no cool sense weather animations when you wake it. Having the actual lock screen appear after waking with volume (instead of power) would be teh shiznit, Menu buttons would be even better, A rapid shaking of the phone to display the Lock screen would be my favorite though!
yeah the ringer key one is out somewhere but i want something different. Anyone up to it or trying to ATM
waking up by touching the screen would be nice too. maybe a gesture of some sort could be an option.
I'm pretty sure we can't use the touch buttons to unlock the screen as they only function when the screen is on, so an app that allows that would prolly kill the battery 10fold because it would need the screen to remain semi on.
Only other options are the volume keys, those are right there by the power button...soo yeah.
I could be wrong, who knows.

download "no lock" from the market. it enables the volume rocker to unlock the evo. it also bypasses the slide to unlock button as well. goes right onto the homescreen. whenever i need my phone, password secured, i just use the widget to turn it off. reverts back to normal. this should be exactly what you are looking for. free app.

Many apps in the market for this, just search lock screen.
Here, this is easier.

thanks for the reply @harlenm. I am looking for something to activate the lock screen(to unlock the phone) by using the screen sensitive buttons instead of the physical button located on top of the phone.

Sorry, thought you meant the other way around.
Do you need the lock screen? No lock will allow you to use the volume keys, but takes you straight to the home screen.

Ok when the screen is off. You would normally press the unlock button located on the top of the phone to turn the screen on right. Is there a way to turn the screen on by pressing the touch sensitive button located on the screen itself.

Not that I know of. The only alternative is to use the volume keys using the no lock program, but again, it bypasses the lock screen.
I use widgetlocker....its awesome and its worth the 2bills..
It let's you choose a custom wallpaper, lock/unlock sounds and supports custom sliders made by xda community.
Now to your question, its impossible using the capacitive buttons as the screen would always need to be on for that function..if it were a trackball or physical buttons then that would work but not on Inspire obviously.
The closest you can get with widgetlocker is it will let you wake up the screen with volume keys and then unlock the screen with the backspace button..hope that makes sense ...cheers

Like the above poster said, or use the stock froyo lockscreen(delete HTClockscreen.apk from /system/app) and you can use the menu button to unlock the phone. Still have to wake it with the power button. I don't think the buttons waking would be a good idea, it would constantly be woken up, which means the screen would be on longer plus the CPU is working more, which means more unnecessary battery drain.
So I have the Androidified tpu case which makes the power button kinda hard to press. Also I use NOLED which wont wake with the power button when there is a notification. For these reasons it would be nice to wake the phone with the front face buttons, as long as they dont accidentally get pressed in my pocket
So I was wondering if i could modifiy
system/usr/keylayout/s3c-keypad.kl
and add a few WAKE_DROPPED where wanted and get the desired effect???
Let me know if you've done this already or you know it works. Ive seen similar things done with other phones. If not Ill just try it myself once i get a chance to make an odin backup of my phone.
I've actually found a way to do it. Instead of using the home button tho, all physical buttons work. Its a hack to remove the lockscreen. I actually replaced my lockscreen with Ripple Lock from the market with this. Give a nice Honeycomb style lockscreen with great options. Here's what I did...
Go to the dialer and enter #83786633, then press home.
Go back into the dialer, clear the numbers and enter *#22745927 and enter the SPC code 000000.
Hit the "HiddenMenu Enable Radio" button. Press home.
Go back to the dialer, enter *#7594# and hit the "Shutdown" button, then home.
The lockscreen is now GONE. I have never reversed it to get the lockscreen back tho, I hate the AOSP lockscreen, and Puzzle lockscreens. The Ripple Lock app from the market is very smooth, fluid and has totally replaced them annoying lockscreens. Best of all, any physical button now wakes up my phone I don't have any accidental presses either. Everything is great. Hope this helps!!!!!

interesting...I saw a few other apps that would modify buttons/screens. My only concern is bloating up my rom...would love to do within the system. Also whenever I call numbers and press in codes I feel like I might be giving away my life savings to an anonymous bank account in the Caribbean lol
Tried changing the .kl file. Specifically the home button. Doesnt seem to work. Let me know if anyone figures this out

Have you rebooted your phone since the change? I did this mod. and it worked fine until I rebooted. After a reboot the lock screen fix was still working, but the physical buttons no longer woke up the phone. Others have reported the same issue.
Yes, actually I always turn my phone off at nite, and when I turn it back on, my physical keys work fine to wake up the phone. Haven't had a single problem since. I would rather do it this way instead of going ib the system and screwing something up. Not that good at stuff like that lol.

Is there any way to make it more efficient when locking the device? I find that it closes the current application and goes to the home screen (as you swipe the back and home keys when locking your device).
This is quite annoying when using an app like gmote when I may need to immediately unlock my phone again to pause/play adjust volume etc, as I find that the app has been terminated when putting the device to sleep.
I really like the idea of not having to mash my power button any more than necessary, so using the sweep to lock would be ideal. I also noticed that even in the demo video of sweep to wake, the menu button gets pressed as the phone is locked (you can see the launcher menu appear for a second before the device locks).
Any suggestions would be appreciated, but I wanted to get some guidance before posting any sort of feature requests in the dev forum.
Thanks guys!

Brilliant idea! This actually works as desired, and it doesn't seem to activate the home button in the sweep/swipe either. Now I just need to get in the habit of skipping the back key.

However, I don't see how this is practical much. I only lock using sweep because it's a good shortcut to exit current app, go to home & luck.
Hi All,
So I have a very odd issue. I have googled and searched the threads, but I cannot find any mention of the same issue from anyone else. Here is my problem:
When the screen is completely off (I have "Always On" turned off), sometimes when I push the power button the lock screen does not come up. Instead, I can barely make out tiny white text at the very bottom of the display that is half cut off. Obviously I cannot take a screenshot to show you. So I push the power button a couple of times and then it works.
Anybody have a clue what is going on?
Thanks in advance!

when you press power button when it's working, you won't get screen wake. Need to wait until it's finished,
or press power once (to stop greenify process) then wait a little while until text disappears.

No it's a hibernate shortcut you don't actually open the app. just tap it and it'll put everything to sleep then just lock your phone. I don't use auto hide unless I have root. On nonrooted phones it takes forever to do it when you go to lock your phone and in my case it would take forever for me to be able to unlock my phone so I find it easier to just tap the shortcut then lock
Note the lil icon in the bottom right. It just puts stuff to sleep, doesn't open the app
