[Q] Trackpad wake-up

Hey guys.
Just wondering if there was an app or .apk file that would wake up the screen with the Trackpad and pressing it again to unlock it. Let me know if its in a Rom too.
I'm running Virtuous v2.7
Thanks. Just got my DI yday from a D2

Cyanogenmod has the wake and unlock features that you are looking for, but if you could do with an iffy wake on trackpad, there is a qwerty,kl file that you can modify to wake your dinc.

Skyraider has it in it's extras. If you do a search there is a thread for track pad wake in the development area.
Here this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729923
Almost forgot it's track pad to wake, menu to unlock.

I downloaded RomManager and there is a "optical trackpad wake" that you download and it installs for you. It is kind of hit and miss though. For some reason when my phone is plugged in charging it works every single time. When the phone is off the charger it will work sporadically. Sometimes it wakes on the first press, sometimes you have to hold the button down, sometimes you have to hit it like 3-4 times.
I was wondering with the cyanogenmod, is it as sporadic as this? Does it work every time without fail?

I like that it takes a bit to wake. If not it would be unlocking all the time in my purse. Probably why my Moto Q would be dead in about an hour in my purse. Much less my Moto Q would wake and unlock and make calls from my purse. My poor friends and husband always got these calls from me that my purse made. LOL!

Thanks homies but what is Skyraider? Rom? Radio? Kernel?

LOL! You have a lot of reading to do here. I read for about a week before I did any modifications to my phone. You might want to start out in the development thread. Lots to learn there, and all the answers to what these things are will be found there.

Lockscreen Response FIX!

So I have been reading on all the "problems" that this device has, and I've stayed pretty quiet about all the griping over minor things. (coming from the Vibrant and the G2X makes me pretty resilient to "bugs".
Sadly no one ever really talked about how it is a software problem. Everyone wanted it to be hardware related even though the touchscreen works for every other app.
(hops off soapbox)
Here's the fix, it's quite simple.
1) go to HTC hub and download a new theme (mine was music lover)
2) apply the theme
3) reboot phone
4) pull the ring to unlock
5) go back to XDA and hit the thanks button

I've replaced mine so I don't have it right now.
Unresponsiveness is not just lockscreen issue. It was effecting every apps on mine. I couldn't type, get carousel effect etc. Does this solve all of these?

Looks like you didn't read carrefully As I said I've replaced mine so I don't have this issue on my new device. That means I can't test this.

I never had unresponsiveness in any other app. Maybe I just got a perfect Sensation... well almost perfect (s-on)

Mine is so damn responsive, sometimes when I scroll the application drawer a little bit it opens an application

I saw the 'unresonponsive' threads, and was somehwat amused, since my screen appears to behave normally...but for the heck of it, I tried the carousel, and could NOT get it to rotate fast AT ALL! Other regular nav/touches worked fine. I just tried this 'fix', and can now get fast rotation on carousel easily! It was worth clearing defaults (LancherPro) and playing with it to get this 'fix' working. Now, back to LPro!

I posted this on another thread but I noticed that if you swipe really fast on one screen, without moving between home screens, it will always spin.
Just swipe really fast.

tried this fix and didnt work

Can you just apply one of the themes already on the phone? busted did not work, no thanks here. Just dloaded and installed music lover, no go. Who said the problem works in every other app? mine does not. Anywhere you try to swipe/scroll. home screens, contacts, pictures, LOCK RING, fruit ninja.. registers as a touch( a lot of touches) instead of a swipe. I dont think a software update will fix it. If it would then it should work when i restore phone to factory defaults, it does not, yet it worked fine at those same settings when it was new.

That is the problem! lol that is NON responsive. Swipes are not registering as swipes, instead registers as a tap. Thats why an app opens. I open an app almost every time i try to scroll through the app drawer. NOT how it should be.

No it does not. Not on mine. Yours will get worse untill that doesnt work for you either.

Thank you for this.

Why you always gottqa be freaking negative? Even on the fre3vo thread you freaking out on people. I tested this on mine, 1 swipe and the carousel appears.

I have to agree this did make a difference in the 3D carousel spinning. I don't know about other issues as I have not had them yet.

Ok let me be positive and see if that helps. brb.. Nope, still no carousel. All i did was inform you that what you think is actually good, is in fact one of the issues. Our sensations should not be opening apps when swiping. My evo didnt, my N1 didnt, my iphone didnt, but the newest latest and greatest device does. I have a right to be negative. Sorry if i offended you.

[Q] Side buttons configuration

Hi
I wonder if there is a way to configure the volume side button to light the screen instead of the power button or do I just have to wait until natural evolution lengthen my pointing finger
Many thanks

I'm sure someone could make a MOD for rooted ROMs that'll do this. I've never seen anyone request this before, so I'm not sure how much luck you'll have getting that done unless you dev it yourself.
If I had short fingers, I definitely wouldn't have bought this phone, but using the power button isn't a problem for me.

I had to thank you for making me laugh! I don't mind where the power button is personally, just how it's implemented. It's angled forward, your finger reaches from the back which is what makes it difficult to push for me. I would have much rather preferred it be flat or angled towards the back.
Edit: I loved the power button on my Atrix, it was very easy and natural to me.

I'd like to see this mod too. I find the power button a bit hard to reach/push at times. It probably won't be a quick fix, but I'll do some digging.

It's actually a very common request/mod. CM7 ROMs have an option for it as well as some apps, like WidgetLocker, that have an option for it called "Easy Wake". Unfortunately, I haven't found an app that allows for it to work on the One X yet.

I didnt like the angle of the Atrix's power button bc it made me pick the phone up from my desk to wake it up, but i did like how it was recessed a little not to mention that the fingerprint scanner was one of the most useful features i've ever found on a phone. seriously.

There is an app called Button Remapper that does this (I use it on my Evo 4G). I'm not sure if it will work on the One X, I don't have mine yet.

"Phantom Buttons"

So, I was recently reading about how the One will (at some point) be able to be hacked so that the HTC logo can be used as a button. Somewhere around page 4 in the thread, an EVO 4G LTE owner mentioned that there was a ROM for their phone where someone created two "phantom buttons" between the 3 buttons. This was possible (for those who don't know) because the entire bottom portion of the bezel is touch sensitive. This can be seen by dragging the ring on the the lockscreen of Sense ROMs of the screen and still being able to control it. Also, I'm assuming, sweep2wake is made using this same principle.
So my point is, do any developers have any ideas if it would be possible to create these so called "phantom buttons" for our phones? I'm not a dev so I can't help accomplish this, but it's an interesting idea Imo that I felt I'd put out there.

I thought months ago when beastmode kernel was still being worked on by sbryan that he implemented something like that. I can't remember what happened or if I'm just completely wrong.

I've heard talks about it but with regards to sweep to wake widths.

Should be possible, just part of the digitizer.

In my phone too the panel below the screen is touch sensitive

Start from the beginning of the cm10 thread. (Not 10.1)
This was used before it was official and the remap of the app switch key was implemented. Basically it was like an x y coordinate on the digitizer, that the phone was told there was a button there.

+1 I love this idea but what would you use the extra buttons for?

You could use one as a menu button and use the multitasking button as... A multitasking button. Also, a dedicated camera or Google Now button.

I would make a xda button, or perhaps male it start playing terminator 2 from when I left off.
Sent from my HTC One XL

A dedicated camera button would be nice.

Menu and search. I really miss the search button, believe it or not..
This post was created and transmitted completely in analog.

Yes, its possible and quite easy to add. vmagro (vinvinvinster) did something like this when he was doing CM9 back in the first few months of AOSP since at that point a button remap was not yet decided.
Thing is though, that it modifies the ROM's frameworks so it probably won't make it into any official builds. ever. And even if it was added, it could only act as either:
HOME
MENU
BACK
SEARCH
APPSWITCH
I believe that is it. I guess a MENU and SEARCH buttons could be made between the buttons if desired, but again, it would probably just lead to much more user confusion and stuff. Not sure if its worth it.

What are you looking forward to..

On the 6.0 update?
For me...
1. Faster fingerprint reader/unlock animation
2. New keyboard layout
3. Finally having an option to switch to pin code for alternative option if fingerprint isnt working
4. Adjustments on touchwiz
5. Google now on tap
6. New emojis
7.Faster phone ?? (hopefully)

Is speed an issue? My Note5 is smooth and quick. *shrug* Now on Tap is actually pretty cool. I don't use a protective lock screen so I don't know about that. I'd like to be able to activate Samsung Pay with a swipe up from the S-View window, but that won't happen.

Speed is definitely not an issue lol, but there are somethings that need a speed improvement.. such as the fingerprint reader. I just hope i dont see any lag. Im assuming you use Find my mobile? if you dont use a protective lock screen. And i dont use samsung pay or NFC payment for that matter, but i understand your struggle haha.
I could root my device, but i choose not to. Reason being is it will possibly lose value once Knox has been tripped.

I do use Find my Mobile but I also use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rickclephas.fingersecurity to lock certain apps. It only locks those apps when I am not connected to my WiFi or my cars Bluetooth. Maybe with the new fingerprint API I'll lock the whole phone up.

I also noticed when watching marshmallow beta for s6/s6 edge is that the capacitive buttons dont light up when touching the screen... which is a smart move from samsung. It saves battery and it makes sense. It only lights up when pressing them or when pressing the home button.

Thats looks like a really useful app! And yes, really looking forward to the new fingerprint API. We can finally make purchases with just our fingerprint reader on play store, amazon, ebay, etc... hopefully.

I hope they fix the keyboard lag I have with every keyboard.

New emojis?! What are the supposed to look like in 6.0? Also what is Google on tap?

Actually it makes no sense, whatsoever. The entire point of the capacitive buttons lighting up when you touch the screen is so you can see them in the dark in order to press them.. lighting up when you touch them makes zero sense, why would I need them to do THAT?

It only takes about an hour to learn which is which... Its unecessary for the lights to turn on everytime you touch the screen, its just pointless.

They didn't light up because it was a Beta and the rooted kernel broke it even more on some devices, but made them work better on other devices. There's also mods you can use to just turn them off if you don't like them. Xposed. Or just go into the settings!!!
Also, just because you don't like them being on, doesn't mean that they are pointless. Tests have also been done to see just how much battery life is affected by Capacitive buttons and you can't even tell how much they use.
By the way, a lot of people like myself, work in dark places and have to use our phones. Think about that for a minute.:good:

The only thing I'm looking forward to is a phone that doesn't get an update and have it cause the phone to be worse than before. Right now my stock Note 5 works just fine.
