keyboard layout mod?

does anyone know what needs to be edited to add volume wake to the g2x? from what i've gathered it can be somewhat typical to have the volume wake only work at a very low percentage. yet when it is plugged in it works no problem. while i have no idea what switch is thrown when it's plugged in to a charger, i have been able to find that the key layouts are in system/usr/keylayout.....but from there i've actually edited every volume up & down key to include WAKE as well but it's made no difference. WAKE_DROPPPED is also an option but i'm not sure if that makes a defference. if anyone with experience could offer some input it would be much appreciated.
edit: oh ****...forgot to follow my own thread and couldn't find it....didn't realize i post this in development and not q&a....mods, please move.

This could be done in cm settings. Try posting in the right section though.
Edit: cm settings, input, volume rocker wake

9 hours have gone by and this still hasn't been moved!?!?!? That's kinda weird, why are the mods here so relaxed? I go to O2X threads and that area is controlled like really well... in ours... well every other thread is hijacked or there is a duplicate for every thread made in q&a, general, and themes lol. Just curious why ours is a mess?

Agreed, people keep complaining in threads about random chat about none relevant info to thread and nothing happens ever. I'm not complaining either just agree someone needs to step up and clean this house

isn't working for me. tried a few different roms, none of them wake my phone. thought maybe i could just figure out how to do it myself or see why the setting wouldn't take with my phone. although by my phone i mean someone else's. just trying to help someone else.
and when i posted this i thought i was in q & a, hence the edit, the apology, and finally, the request to have it moved. but thanks anyways

[Q] How to calibrate accelerometer?

Hello, my accelerometer seems to be off, tilting to the left by about 10 degrees. That is really annoying. I have tried some calibration apps but nothing worked.
Has anybody had any success in recalibrating the accelerometer?
Do you know any app/script to something that i can adjust the damn phone to its correct level?
Help would be appreciated

You can calibrate in the settings

thanks, but this only calibrates my gyroscope on a flat surface. I am having problems on the Horizontal axis holding the phone up
P.S I think that the calibration does not work on the leaked ICS

Nexus S 3g search button problem.

I'm having the worst trouble with my nexus S's search button triggering all the time. Sometimes it seems that its just being overly sensitive like my finger brushes along the bottom of the phone while I type / hold the phone. And the button activates.
Its horribly irritating its pretty well documented as an old issue but I would like to possibly start this topic here on xda. Someone mentioned a software fix for it triggering by itself in some legacy version of android. But if there is anyone who has a fix please let me know I've had to exit the search bar about 10x while writing this.

Disable touch capacitive buttons (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554111&page=6) and install a rom with on screen buttons (Cyborg or aokp)...use kernal with bln to take off the lights
I did this to fix the auto back button firing
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2

I wonder what causes it I mean if its just open the phone up and clean it or something I don't really have a problem with it.
Could you possibly paste a recent link to the rom if that's not too much to ask.
Also did you ever manage to figure out why it was happening?

Its in the general forum aokp b38
Some people say its a software-hardware problem...some people send it off for screen replacement and it fixed it...but I didn't want to send it so I just mod it like this and its working awesome
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2

OK awesome I really don't want to have to send it because I like the amoled screen. There is a forum post that says there is a fix in one of the ota updates don't know what it was exactly though I'll try and find it and report back.

Try this and remap the button....
Button remapper:http://db.tt/FvaH4Wvu
Also install this if needed Keynrtracker: http://db.tt/r6ht9PyT

I'll try this first since I'm trying to stick with my hsdpa uncaoped radio with the matr1x kernel and the crossbones rom and voodoo sound and video.
------------------
Edit: it would appear that the first file "key remapper " worked great and all I needed was root no losing screen space or flashing a new rom. I just remapped key 217 (search key) to the camera focus function. Which shouldn't bother me too much.

Hardware gurus: do you think this app is fine for our SR ?

My question is about this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...e&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=tap+tap+tap+app
It uses the proximity sensor to unlock the screen (so saving the power button) but I'm concern that it would probably over load the sensor over time from continuously being on ... What do you think ?

Seems like a waste of time unless your power button is broken.

Power button doesn't seem that it will last so long , plus waiving a finger infront of the speaker area is easier that pushing a button , but Iam afraid it won't be free !!!

I've seen other people use it before. Works well enough I suppose, however there are also ways unlock your phone using the soft keys.

How ?

It has been programmed into a few of our ROMS, so check the development section, and you can also find multiple apps that will do it however I would steer away from ones that use the proximity sensor or anything else other than the soft keys as you're probably looking at a pretty hefty battery drain.
Edit: just checked my current ROM (CM9) and it has it under lock screen settings.

Soft keys can not work if screen is off ... cm9 has what feature exactly? I'm not talking about volume rocker wake...

check out wave control pro =D it is one of my favorite apps

Do you know what we're talking about ?

Mahann! My apologies mate! I completely misread what you wanted!
Ok, I did have a way to WAKE my phone on my old og droid with the volume rocker.
However the only thing I know of that can wake your phone is an app where you shake your phone to wake it.
You can find it in the play store.
I know this is probably not what you are looking for, but it's all I got on this subject. Good luck man. Let us know if you find anything!

Touch screen problems

I am an EXTREME NEWBIE, so please excuse me if I am posting this wrong but my touch screen is totally dead from the very top to about 2 inches down, I have to turn my phone sideways to get to hit any of the icons.... etc, also it has a mind of its own and the screen will start flipping out and hits buttons, will launch apps and look up stuff on my browser, just plain go crazy! Then it will start working again. I never know when it's going to start acting up again. Never been rooted or anything, In my stupidity, I took the ota update so it's on the 20u update.

well your not the first to experience this. Please do a little search on XDA you'll find several posts regarding this.

Kasvinda, With all respect to you and forgive me for the error in my question. In your wisdom, will you be so kind as to help me out and point me in the right direction, I am a fast learner & I WILL PICK UP ON ALL THE RULES VERY QUICKLY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

HAHA good .. So this happened after you getting the 20u update? Anyway assuming that its a software issue perform a factory reset. This is the universal solution for anything and its the easiest. So do it and see

Tried that, even tried updating the touch screen in the service menu, it's never been rooted, straight stock att firmware, out of the box, about 3 months old, I m gonna send it back under the warranty. I do have a t mobile in the box, a T-Mobile G1 by htc i think, and a htc hero200 ,still in the box. Original condition.
