My power button broke, no big deal on gingerbread CM7 it allowed the volume button to wake the device. Is there an ICS rom with that option. Does CM9 have it? Thank you in advance
Don't know CM9, but AOKP has it
You can also use 3rd part application like GO locker which has volume key wake up

You can do that on any rom http://dalvik.me/volume-rocker-wake/
the cm9 kangs have it. but, you dont need it or any other volume rocker wake apps on ics(any ics rom). if you go to the main phone settings, security, lockscreen, then disable the lockscreen. now you can wake your nexus s with its volume rocker, no special app or hack needed
thanks for the help simms and everyone else

I think "go locker" for Go Launcher has that option for volume key wake up/unlock.

I have ICS CM9 on my Nexus S. Problem is that volume rocker does not change media volume if the media app is in background or screen is off. I have wake up the screen, bring the media/music app in the foreground then change the volume.
I can second this and add that it occurs on all of the ICS builds I have tried so far.
Thanks in advance!
WidgetLocker has the ability
Just tried it, checked the box in settings, but no dice
Uninstalled and got a refund.
Any others?
no lock?
or
Screen Off and Lock?
Thanks, already tried both of them because they worked on my og evo, but no such luck
Coming from the galaxy s2 I do miss the power button on the side, hoping to find a solution still

Actually, I used to have a Nexus One and the power button was broken. To circumvent that, I had to use an app called AnyUnlock. I turned the screen on with the volume rocker and you could also use a widget to turn the screen off (rather than using the power button to turn the screen off). Which I suppose could be useful if you have smaller fingers or something and didn't want to make the reach. Very, very useful app when your power button stops functioning.

I'm sure it uses the same method that the other apps use and it even says in the description on their app page that it only works on Froyo and GB.
Yea seems like all of them don't work with ics urrrrrrrrr

Volume Rocker Wake works on CM9 Alpha 5
I've been using CM9 Alpha 5 for a few hours now and it's great !
The first think I set was the Volume Rocker Wake as the Power Button is not as easy to press when using most cases covering the power button.
To enable it, go to SETTING --> DISPLAY --> VOLUME ROCKER WAKE
it enables waking the phone by pressing the volume rocker EITHER up/down.
There is no way to specify one or the other
However, it works great ! I'm really liking CM9, my only complaint is the missing HTC Camera which was just amazing with the hardware burst (I'm still looking for a way to flash it if that's even possible).
Guys I need an app for Atrix 2 which can lock screen with a gesture and can wake screen with a gesture or by volume rocker.
I am running stock ICS

Not sure your going to find anything. as far as unlocking, if the screen is off, i can't detect gestures, so that is out. volume rocker unlock is built into cm10 and many cm10 based roms, so I'd go to that.
Go locker can unlock with a gesture or volume keys.
You could probably use go launcher and set a gesture to lock
Otherwise CM10 ROMS

The power button on my G2X has stopped working and I would like to know how to enable wake using volume rocker.
I'm using CM7.2 with Mazout's GB Kernel, and have enabled volume rocker wake in CM settings, but that does not seem to work, once the phone goes to sleep. Does anyone actually use this feature?
Yeah I could never get that to work consistently no this phone.
Any idea why?
I see some old threads here and on the cyanogenmod forum, but no conclusive answer.
