Home + Lock in one go - Android General

How many times a day do you click home only to be followed by lock button immediately after?
Think of it, you are done with using an app, you click home and then lock.
You are done texting, click home and lock.
Is there an app (button) which can combine these two actions? It can be invoked using swipepad, wave launcher, circle launcher, smart sidebar etc. Otherwise, it can just be a widget on home screen. Or it may be set to work upon clicking home button twice.
(In my current swipepad setup, I go home and lock from swipepad itself. I could use this one app if someone finds/create it)

I actually never lock my S2. Pressing home and sliding the phone in a cover works fine. Screen locks automatically in 30 seconds.

Sounds pretty cool, I can relate to click home then locking.

Why would you use these sh*tty apps? If you're on CM (or soon MCR) you can use the trackball wake/unlock feature

Because I have long fingers and pressing the trackball to wake is uncomfortable for me.
It lets all physical buttons unlock the screen (Volume Up/Down, Trackball) and makes replacement Lock Screens like Flyscreen work more often.
This would be perfect if pressing volume up/down or camera didn't turn on the screen on the Droid.

And if you're not? Some folks want to stay on the stock rom. I'm not one of them but this app has its place. Your condescension is unwarranted.
thanks ive been looking for a reliable app like this. i was using that screenmode widget crap and it just wasnt cutting it. it would only work half the time. so far so good on desire rom. since no one wants to port over the unlock mod to the desire ROM, this is the next best thing.
Need some help over here

[App]Volume Control Plus: Lock Volume Buttons

Do you accidentally turn your volume down without realising? Myself and a few other people I know, are always missing calls because the volume can be turned down with a slight touch to the volume button. Even my phone pressing against my jeans in my pocket would turn the volume down.
But, I came across an app called Volume Control + which allows you to lock the volume at any level, and provides you with a widget to easily access and change all sound settings.
Volume Control + is free from the market!

well, i installed the app anyway, and i see that it has ads. i'm not complaining about the ads themselves, but your app description should at least mention it.
love the UI in this app. very attractive. however, it doesn't work on my rooted captivate running 2.2. i've tried the alternative lock method too. i also don't get the locked/unlocked notification, even though i have it enabled in the settings.
would you like a logcat?
Email the developer

I just tried it and had it showed up in the status bar. When I was checking my voice mail, as soon as I opened it to change the volume, my voice mail stopped. Is there a way to make it so that I can change the volume while listening to my voice mail?

[Q]Volume rocker wake on ICS?

Can anyone tell me if this has been added to any of the current builds? I'm dying for a daily use ROM and it's a must for me.

I don't believe there is, although I know that there is a configuration to disable the lock screen so that pressing the power button immediately turns the screen onto what you were doing last.

my power button is borked, so i need to use a different button for my power button too, volume rocker wake is what i prefer too. there are a few lockscreen apps that work, but i hate their lockscreens. luckily, if you go to the phones main settings, security, and disable the screen lock. youll be able to wake your phone with the volume keys. the only thing is, you wont have a lockscreen to go through.

[Q] Cataclysm ROM -> no lockscreen cam

Hello,
I have been running the cataclysm ROM for several weeks now. I like it, I must say. Really nice OS.
However, one think I can not figure out is how to get the camera sweep shortcut to the lockscreen.
In settings there is an option to turn it on or off, but it does not make a difference. I already tried to fiddle around with the widget settings etc.
Also I could not find a setting in the Camera app and I have tried some external apps for lockscreen management.
Re-flashing the rom (no wipe) also does not make a difference.
I am posting here since the ROM thread has been closed for 2 weeks now. Google and search could not help me.

Thanks, that helped!
Is it not possible to use the 'stock' shortcut at the right bottom?
There's no shortcut on bottom left, but if you swipe the screen from right to left like you do on home screen , you will get the camera..
Just assume that there is a shortcut icon in the bottom left and do it..

"as required by security policy, instead of using your fingerprint

When I let the screen time off and lock. It will not just accept my fingerprint as unlock method but will also ask for others like pattern. But the behavior is not always like this. Usually it happens on some applications only like home screen. (nova launcher)
But if I press power button to lock, it will accept my fingerprint alone.
Has this something to do with nova launcher? Or greenify (unrooted)?

Never mind, found the culprit, it's greenify. I just have to turn on the alternative way of locking on greenify settings.

If you use a third party launcher or a app to lock your phone it will ask for the pin.
Nova launcher and a few other apps get around this by technically not locking the phone but putting a black screen then reducing screen time out to the minimum and allowing the phone to turn the screen off by itself.
