Is it possible to make the screen wake by sliding your fingers across the haptic buttons from left to right or maybe by pressing them in a certain order? I know in my Nexus1 you could wake with several different options like trackball, volume, any of the haptic buttons....
But my question is there a way to have it wake on a simple swipe on the buttons?
no, right now only other alternative is to wake with volume keys
Yes but couldn't it be cooked in a ROM as some mod?

yeah, but I don't think its a priority right now, our phones are still really young in the dev community

Hey I'd love to work on this but I'm not sure where to start so I'll request it. I'd like to see something like trackball wake for the Nexus but use the volume button on the EVO. Also the menu button unlock so we don't have to swipe. I know Metalhead now has the menu unlock on the market. It doesn't seem to work, but maybe he can tweek it too.
What trackball?
He said he would like to see something LIKE the trackball wake but using the volume keys because we dont have a trackball.

If anyone finds an app or something that will allow the EVO to wake from the 4 front buttons please let me know either on here or PM. Its the only feature keeping me from getting an EVO.
No I'm not as picky as it sounds lol, its a dexterity issue.
i would say you woul want it to be one of the touch buttons on front since you would always hit em by mistakednt
Double tap of the menu would work for me, I'd even prefer it but I assume that the driver and hardware for the screen and for the soft buttons at the bottom of the screen are the same. While we could always leave the screen on and watch for touch input all the time I think it would kill the battery.
But if someone knows of the soft buttons using a separate driver or hardware then we could consider it.
What I was suggesting was to go from off to using it press the volume down key and then menu vs. pressing power then swiping the screen unlock thing. Of course you could do the volume and then swipe too, but the menu button would be a added benefit.
I search this specific forum but couldn't find anything on this topic.
I was wondering if it was possible to put a hot key or button or something on the lock screen or even on one of the pages to silence the phone with out having to turn it down manually with the rocker switch?
I had a motorola atrix 2 and it had something on it's locked screen to silence and unsilence the phone.
Of course I also like the locked screen on the atrix 2 better then my skyrocket but that and the silence button are the only 2 things I liked over my skyrocket.
Any advice or help would be great.
Thank you
You can enable the "Turn Over" motion feature to mute incoming calls and sounds. No need to press buttons.
See if that works for you.
That is awesome, thank you for the suggestion but I was thinking more along the lines of forgetting to silence your phone in say a meeting. Instead of having to unlock the phone and press the volume down button till silent, can I put a volume on / vibrate mode widget or something on my lock screen.

You can replace your lockscreen and use something like widgetlocker. And you can add whatever widget, slider action or shortcut you want. Search the market for other options.
Thanks a lot widget locker works great and does exactly what I want.

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).
I'm not sure if anybody has done this but I thought it may be a good idea to enable on screen buttons and turn off the capacitive buttons.
This way we have the ease and customization of on screen navigation buttons + the ability to use the physical home button to turn on the device.
coming from a Gnex, I hear ya!

The link below jumps to a thread with exactly what you want. It also changes the home button into a camera button (long press).
In the first post, Sheffy007 posted flashable zips for various ROMs. Not sure what rom you're running, but I've also linked to a step by step tutorial in case things don't work exactly as you want.
P.S. Before flashing, go into settings / display and set touch key backlights to always off. (this keeps them turned off before flashing in touchwiz based roms).

So, apparently, you can no longer set your volume rocker to wake the phone. I inherited a buddies bricked Nexus S (submerged under water and then he tried a reboot.) After testing my skills as a modder, I finally ressurected the phone, but the volume button is in-op. Anyone out there wanna make a patch to fix my issue?????????????? I tried market apps.but they just don't do it for me. PM me if you are up to the task.
Peaces.
Nothing? OK, so does anyone know a good app that will let me do this? I tried one that used the proximity sensor, but it was annoying. I am having trouble finding an app that will let me either use the volume rocker to wake the phone (with no annoying message and go right to the unlock screen) or an app that will let me reconfigure my hard keys.

CM10 rom and many other roms include this. Called volume rocker wake and straight in the options.
judging from the title, perhaps you prefer to keep as stock as possible? if so, there is a rom that has volume rocker wake while keeping minimum mods.
