Hey guys,
I have tried several custom ROM's in the last 2 weeks since getting my HTC One X and one of them, I think Xi40 126 had a feature that let you wake the screen using the volume buttons. This I found to be a lot more functional and easier than using the power button on the top of the phone.
I'm currently running on CleanROM 4.5 RC1. I switched from Xi40 because of battery issues I was having and CleanROM seems to be running and working better. Is there any way to get this feature now? I searched for this MOD but couldn't find it.
Thanks!
It's a feature that was part of the cordroid tweeks that xsmagical had ported to his Rom he and Scott are both working together to get them ported to the new base so in time you should have that feature again. I have never found an app that does it as a stand alone.

The only app I've seen that replicates that mod is 'No-Lock' on the market, but it just bypasses the lockscreen, doesn't really wake the phone with volume. But, like the post above, we'll see the mod soon enough
I have stock Froyo ROM.
With stock kernel, the light sensor works fine. I can use the built-in auto-brightness (settings/display/brightness / auto), and I can use my own Tasker auto-brightness routine, and I can see the tasker variable %LIGHT change with ambient light level (albeit in discrete steps).
I installed 3 different custom Kernel’s:
Defuse 1.4
Infusion 1.8
Infusion 2.0
With each of these, light sensor doesn’t seem to work. Built-in auto-brightnes doesn’t work. My tasker auto-brightness doesn’t work. Tasker %LIGHT value reads 100 lumens no matter whether you are in a dark closet or bright sunlight.
Just to make sure it wasn’t my phone, I disabled voodoo lagfix and went back to stock kernel again (from a backup I had made). Light sensor works fine once again. It’s definitely something about those kernels.
.
Question 1 - Does anyone else remember seeing this?
(I’m kind of surprised that searching didn’t show this in the general, q&a or developer forums....how could I be the only one to notice????).
Question 2 - By any chance, are any patch or fixes known?
(I doubt it, but just figure I’d ask)
By the way, this is by no means a complaint. I am very happy with the performance of those kernels and plan on keeping them as long as I’m in stock Froyo (which might be quite awhile). I can see the improvement in response time in menus, in swiping home screens (and in Quadrant fwiw). I tested all the other features I can think of and everything else works flawlessly (except possibly some extra flashing from BNL feature on Infusion 2.0, already well discussed in developer’s thread). I am very, VERY grateful to the developers that gave us these kernels last year and continue to work on great new things to share with us.
Probably just some wrong code that needs fixed... and it wont be fixed either, all have moved on bigtime lol. It would also seem useless to go back and change it...

It certainly wouldn't be useless to me. I got 5 Infuse phones for my five immediate family members, and I am sort of the go-to guy within the family for questions. For one thing I might do better helping them if I stick with Froyo (although I haven't quite made up my mind on that... might try for some stable GB either stock or AEON on my phone only) . For another thing, they are not interested in changing things they have figured out, so if I can give them custom kernel with their Froyo, it would make their phones faster wthout forcing them onto a new OS.
But since I don't have any ability to develop a fix myself and as you mentioned, those who do have long since moved on to bigger/better and newer things. So useless or not is probably an irrelevant point... it ain't gonna happen.
It's also weird that the same problem happened on all those different kernels from different developers. Makes me wonder if somehow I'm missing something and doing something wrong on my end, although I don't know what that could be. Oh well.
Thanks for responding.
Is there an Infuse 4g kernel that supports BLN (capacitive lights turn on when there is a notification)?
If yes, is there one that works with the ParanoidAndroid ROM?

Bedwa's Froyo Infusion kernel 1.8 or 2.0 (I forget which but I'm pretty sure one and not the other) has BLN.... in the unlikely event that you want Froyo.
I tried it out and it worked, although had some extra flashes occuring on occasion when I didn't expect them.
I noticed this free App called NoLED... to accomplish various types of visual notification with display "off" except for a relatively few pixels on the AMOLED display.
Check out the developer's thread including a video overview:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730692
haven't tried it.
Maybe others know of something more useful that I didn't mention...
Must have been too hard to search cause that's been talked about more times then I can count.
Planning my escape!
Hello,
I hope this is in the right area, xda / android newb (switched from iPhone within the past three months WOOHOO :good but here goes...
I have the HTC One X (at&t) and I'm running CM10 nightly 20121216 with rohan kernel b6. Every once in a while I when I unlock my phone the touchscreen is completely unresponsive, meaning the lock slider does not work whatsoever nor does the notification center pulldown. I did my best to research this issue and I'm not sure how to replicate it or if its even relevant to CM10. As in is it just my phone, or is it rom / kernel combo that causes this? The only way to resolve this issue is to power down the phone using vol down + power as the power menu is unresponsive as well. If anyone has any insight and would like to provide a solution OR if this is a completely new bug I would be happy to provide more information.
Oh, and a big shout out to Richard V. for figuring out LED for notifications :laugh::good:
I'm pretty sure this is probably a bug with Sweep2Wake, enabled by rohan's kernel that you have installed. Try reflashing CM10 without any custom kernel and then see if you have the problem.
Under volting has cause that for me several times on cm. Its the death sleep. I stopped using kernel mods altogether because of stability about a month ago. So not sure if that's what is still happening for you. But perhaps give it a shot

Thanks guys I'll be sure to try that out. I somewhat had a feeling it might have something to do with the kernel.
I recently acquired an sgs4g and previously owned a Vibrant. I understand that the sgs4g is specifc on roms, but can't seem to find one that is 100% working. Can someone explain to me what the common issues are and the history/likelyhood of them being fixed?
I understand the following may or not may not work:
GPS (used to this being wonky, assume there are workarounds and it can be made to work)
Notification Lights (just got mine back with Paranoid, really would miss them)
Video Recorder (I am ok with this as a causality, I never use it)
HotSpot (I love this when traveling, it's part of the core functionality of the phone for me. I could get by with a straight tether though).
I ran Paranoid Android on my Vibrant and loved it. It was the reason I chose to stick with my Galaxy and not upgrade to the newest model.
Thanks
JB is still in alpha stages, especially if you care about stability and location services.
ICS is mostly working. You will probably need to patch your build.prop for GPS unless you decide to use Ultragen.
GB is fully working.
GPS - Problematic as listed above. Not working on JB, works on ICS with build.prop line added, works on GB.
Notification Lights - Phone doesn't have a notification LED. Sorry.
Video Recorder - Not working on JB, works on ICS/GB.
HotSpot - Not working on JB, works on ICS/GB. May work on JB with third party apps like Barnacle.
The JB bugs above are likely to get fixed if we don't annoy the developers too much and provide useful logs when requested. Other bugs may or may not get fixed depending on how annoying the people requesting them happen to be and whether or not the developers want it themselves.
If your goal is just 100% stability, go with Barebones GB. It's a very nice debloated stock and about as stable as you can get.

I am currently just updating the phone with Kies to GB. I may try the debloated Gb first and maybe ICS after. I ran ICS on my Vibrant, it was great. I have a feeling a lot of the things I liked were aesthetic choices and could be duplicated on GB. (Ex: Home screen, newest gmail widget) provided they are supported in GB.
" Notification Lights - Phone doesn't have a notification LED. Sorry."
Er, I meant the keys at the bottom, they light up on missed calls etc.
Thank you for the input, that's exactly what I needed. Any suggestions on GB and ICS roms (names)? I know it's kind of up to the user ultimately and expect opinions to vary.
Thanks
Ah! What you need then is the BLN Control app for BackLight Notifications from the Play Store. And either ICS or GB and a kernel that supports it... most do, just avoid the Proton ICS kernel, as Beastmode doesn't like BLN. Proton may eventually get it, but if that's something on your "want. want. want." list, may as go with a kernel that supports it now.
Alternatively, the NoLED app will give you an on-screen notification that's configurable and works without any kernel modification needed.
GB Roms to try: Barebones. Valhalla. Valhalla Black.
Barebones is very similar to stock. Minimal skinning, everything just works, and it's a slim/sleek ROM as well. The one I generally suggest for people starting out.
Valhalla is the beautifully tweaked ROM that many GB people still love as their daily driver. It's farther off of stock, but does work very well.
Valhalla Black is a further-tweaked Valhalla. Some parts may be more difficult to see, but in general if you like the look, it's great.
For ICS: AOKP, Slim, HebMIUI, Fah-Q CM9.
AOKP is my general fav ICS ROM. It's highly configurable, and I love the laziness of weather on my security screen without needing an additional lock screen.
SlimICS is a slightly-more configurable CyanogenMod that takes less space. What's not to love?
HebMIUI is great if you're a fan of MIUI ROMs. Since it's MIUI, not CM based, you'll need to do a full wipe between installing it and any of the other 3 I suggested, but it's one of the most updated ROMs for our phone.
Fah-Q CM9 is good if you're a fan of straight CyanogenMod, put out by this month's current active development team. The caveat here is that since it uses the Protean kernel (and HebMIUI might as well), there's no BLN control.
Personally, my daily driver with GB wandered between Barebones and Valhalla Black. For ICS, it always came back to AOKP. Right now, I've been running PACman JB for the last week or so as it implements portions of Paranoid Android/AOKP/CyanogenMod, but the lack of GPS in JB continually brings the ICS AOKP siren song back to my ears.We'll see where I fall back, but...
I do hate bln but the reason I disabled bln was because when I fixed the lights issues for the capacitive keys I eliminated any bln crap lol I might work on putting it back this week but not sure for now it doesn't work but then again the kernel fixes deep sleep and battery life so...

I recommed you to Heimdall one click and then put Barebone ROM. It will already give you a debloated rooted stock.
Leave Kies aside, waste of time.
So I finally rooted this phone, and I have ODIN and I also have this HEIMDALL along with an abundant amount of other files Ive been suggested to download yet I cant seem to change the rom still. I am on 2.2.1 any ideas suggestions or guidance would be helpful.
Odin and heimdall drivers may clash. I would uninstall all drivers (&kies) and stick with the heimdall if you're already having issues. Link in post above yours is good place to start.
Pc or Mac?
Find lumin30 or bhuvden one click guides. Follow and you shouldn't have any trouble.
Thanks for all the advice. It's exactly what I was looking for.
I am going to go with AOKP for now. I have been using GB with the heimdall kernel and it's the little things I miss, (like the ICS dialer, lock screen and status bar). I have tried to use alternatives like hololock etc and it just doesn't feel the same.
Cheers! Thanks for being a great community.
Ultragen is my fav ICS rom

I have been running AOKP on both my SGS4G as well as my wife's for 3 weeks now, and my phone is the most stable it has ever been. Very snappy and not a single crash. I did, as the poster references above, tweak my GPS file in my build.prop (it has been working great, much better than stock) and I would also recommend updating the modem on your phone to the LB6 padded modem. If you want an easy way to tweak your GPS, as well as install the AMR-WB codec for HD Voice, install Pimp my Rom from the Play Store. My wife likes it, and she is the first to complain about a slow phone or constant reboots. Was like getting a brand new phone. Team Acid did a bang up job. Great work.
