Screen Off Widget

I'm still for a widget to turn the screen off once the icon is tapped. this is handy as i do not have to move my hand all the way up to the power button. I'm thinking to develop my own app on this if the API has this option.

Another way to activate lock screen

Is there a way to activate lock screen by hitting the home sense button on the screen than hitting the physical button located on the top on the phone?

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.

Home button lights going off quickly

Does anyone know if there is something that can be edited in the build.prop that will enable the home keys to stay illuminated when the screen is on in dark settings? the keys go off so day and then you can't see them

no i dont think samsung puts that setting in there. hoowever you might be able to use an app called "keep the lights on" which will bind the backlights to screen on. that way they dont timeout at all

Yeah I was just wondering if there was a line that could be edited in the build.prop that you could change a standard value, like so many milliseconds to more milliseconds for the home keys alone. I wouldn't smythe entire display not timing out

[Q] How can I remove the option....

Is there a way to remove the option menu (the one with the 3 dots) from the screen so I can have full screen for my fat fingers lol
Can I remove from the screen and activate with a combination or something ?

Maybe you could try "smart screen off"
Tap tap worked fine on my O3D but smart screen off is better

Add this to build.prop (system/build.prop) if it is already found change the value to 1 :-
Code:
ro.config.hwfeature_wakeupkey=1
This will let you unlock the phone by volum buttons too . if you want an app I think it will not work because when the phone goes into deepsleep all apps are stopped even the system .

Try Use THANKS Button If I Helped

AW: Lockscreen without powerbutton
Okay, thank you very much, but my powerbutton isnt broken, i only want to unlock it without powerbutton, because i think it is better so you dont use the powerbutton often.
I found apps, abd some users said they work :S
