Afternoon all,
I had a HTC Magic originally and when you pressed menu button twice it would bring the screen back on and then unlock it.
I am trying to achieve the same functionality on my Desire.
The Desire insists you firstly use the power button to bring the screen back to life & then you must swipe down (which i find a nuisance!) before you are back at the home screen.
By modifying 'bravo-keypad.kl' as below this fixes the first part (so the menu button activates the screen), but it still wants me to swipe down.
key 102 HOME
key 139 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
key 158 BACK
key 217 SEARCH
key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED
key 116 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To conclude: Is there a way to remove the 'swipe to unlock'? (without using ''Lock Screen Switch'' widget from the market.)
Thanks in advance!
Chris
I use "nolock", free from the Market and it works great on my Evo.
(Not sure if this is the widget you were referring to or not. )

Currently I`m using WidgetLocker to unlock screen with volume but I lost default unlock screen from sense who is beautifull so:
WidgetLocker Lockscreen can do it, CM7 rom I heard that can do it so how can they do it? What should us (I`m sure that I`m not the only one who don`t want to use power button to unlock screen or to use some app that keep sensors on) have to do to unlock screen with volume keys? I tried to edit keypad.kl (key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE to WAKE_DROPPED) but on desire S has no effect so if widget locker/cm7 can do this thing maybe someone can help and say what should I have to edit ?
update: after using ButtonRemapper v0.2.4.1:
1.volume +- with wake_dropped = didn`t worked to unlock screen.
2.volume +- binded as power and wake_dropped = when screen was on it worked to make screen off but when screen was off didn`t worked to unlock.
out of ideas :|

I'm bumping this one.
Yes there are more people who want to use their volume key(s) to unlock to their Sense 3 based lockscreen!
Hope that somebody can come up with an answer!
I'm keeping my eyes on this post.
Cheers,
D.

i got this working on my htc evo today, here are my changes i made using Button Remapper v0.2.4.1
107 [Endcall] Endcall W_D
116 [Power] Volume Up W
115 [Volume Up] Volume Down W
114 [Volume Down] Power W_D
217 [Search] Search W_D
158 [Back] Back W_D
139 [Menu] Menu W_D
102 [Home] Home W_D
so now my power button is vol up, vol up is vol down, and vol down is power.
im not sure if this will work on your phone, but i dont get to help people much and this felt right up my alley
EDIT: also, i used to use widgetlocker with a sense theme, so you should be able to change it in the custom slider screen, check under themes.
Look HERE for info how to do it.
Hello,
I have a friend with a Droid 2 and their power button is on the way out. Is there a way to remap the camera button to be the power button?
I have tried editing the "cdma_droid2-keypad.kl" file, but it doesn't seem to change anything...
Code:
key 116 POWER GRAVE
key 211 FOCUS POWER WAKE
key 212 CAMERA POWER WAKE
does this code look correct? I just can't seem to get it to change anything. After pushing the file it doesn't change the button behavior at all.
They are rooted and on CM7
My sprint epic power button failed and I am trying to fix it by moving the function of the power key to the volume up or down key and setting the power key function to null. I have several questions on how to do this.
1. I know that I will have to gain root access but is there a way to do this without installing a custom kernel?
2. If i do end up having to root hte thing how do I get into download mode if the power key is not working?
3. My current /system/usr/keylayout/ has several files in it and am I right to assume that I should be editing the gpio-keys.kl file?
4. Is the 116 button assigned the power button value and 115 volume up?
5. Currently the file looks like this
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 116 POWER WAKE
so if i edited it to something like
key 115 POWER WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 116
would it still work? I want to leave the power key funciton blank as it looks like it is stuck and I dont want it to get stuck performing volume up the whole time.
That is all. Any help would be extremely appreciated by me and as you can see I am new to this whole process so if you have any pointers or better ways of doing this I would be extremely grateful for any input.

Could someone assist me in enabling the volume keys to wake the screen?
I have root access and tried this method:
Install Root Explorer (only one I advise for this).
Root.
Go into \system\usr\keylayout
Edit generic.kl and gpio-keys.kl (I recommend taking backups first).
Find key 115 and 114 in both files.
Remap as you wish. I have mine set to Menu and Home.
Save and reboot.

And I changed
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
in both files and rebooted.
But it did not work. I noticed this while I was searching: https://github.com/SomethingExplosi...mmit/d18879528bc4de75d03620ee7636acd404bfcdf9
Does WAKE_DROPPED mean anything?
Edit: WAKE_DROPPED apparent means to turn the screen on and forget the keypress.
What's odd is that many of the keylayout .kl files already have VOLUME_UP WAKE already...
