Is there a app that doesn't lock the screen when the display turns off, I find it a bit annoying on android to turn on the phone, on symbian I just had to press any key to turn on the display without unlocking it, and lock it only using the lock key.
I prefer a app like LG G2's Knock On.

I don't want to upgrade to a CFW now. I prefer enjoying rhe phone on stock than to deal with minor hindrances which ruin the experience on a CFW, like the camera bug mentioned in the thread you quoted to.

You're out of luck then unfortunately, custom kernel is the only thing that offers it right now.

Such a basic thing that symbian had but android doesn't, I am disappointed with Google.

Just go to settings and set lock screen to none.

Wrong there is an app I've been using for a while called intelliscreen theres at least two I know definitely work i use them to stop my phone from sleeping while I'm downloading from the internet
Take a look at "Auto Screen On"

Thanks for the apps but with both the apps the phone gets locked after the screen turns off, I wanted a app that turns off the autolock of phone and just turns off the screen to save power. So I can press any key on the phone to see the screen without unlocking it each time.

I can press any key except the volume rockers which leaves the obvious power button and the home button will turn my screen on and with no lock screen it does what you want it to.

Hello guys
i've just registered here
i only want to avoid abusing power button to unlock the phone
i set only 1 min to auto-lock
the only way to unlock is by using power button, everytime i push im afraid that the button will go crazy
do you guys know any way to avoid this issue ?
i've search many app but they all use proximity sensors and i've tried it and nothing worked
i installed smart screen off v3.3 and thing went worse.... the screen stucked and trying to off-on-off-on-off-on everysecond
You can unlock by removing the s-pen, too.

I don't think using the word RAPE earns you much respect.
Oh and it's a tablet not a phone.
I use screen off fx for powering down, gives a virtual powerbutton on your screen with some nice off-effects, and its free! That halves use of powerbutton.

I use the app "rebooter" found in the app store to have a widget on screen that turns off, reboots or goes to recovery without using the powe button.... You do need to rooted to use this however...
I AM NOT TAKING ANY CREDIT FOR THIS, FOUND ON GOOGLE AND WANT TO SHARE
Mount as R/W
Open /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl. with text editor
Go to "key 172 HOME WAKE" line
Delete word WAKE
Save and exit
Reboot phone
That's all , now you stoped the home button from waking up your device.
Probably working on all roms but i tested with rooted stock rom.
Will work on rooted stock roms for sure

That seems like the complete opposite of its purpose when the device is in sleep.
But you can just turn off the lock screen, and you accomplish what you're asking for. No security at all though. Butt dials like a mother. No one wants that.

I know it's the complete opposite of this mod but it will be faster (IMO) to double click the home button to wake-unlock the device.
But no lock screen will definitely cause butt dials

Not working in Sprint S4 running liquid smooth (AOSP is ya didn't know). Been searching everywhere. Anyone know if there's a way to disable it on AOSP roms? Tried removing wake from every single file inside the key layout folder but met with no success...
Thanks, it was very useful to me, to re-enable the wake up screen on home button.

Ok Google only works from the home screen on 4.4.x versions of android, the moto x has a special always listening function built by moto as well a chip that has low battery usages that allows for the active listening function anytime. Its probably possible for the nexus 5 to do the same but it would drain the $h1t out of the battery.
In moto x it called the "active display".. In which the phone always listening thru its mic. If somehow our nexus 5 can have this feature would be awesome..
Sent from my Nexus 5 via XDA Premium HD
No, this is not possible as we do not have the same chipset as the Moto X.
utter! has "always listening even when screen is off" functionality (and much more).

Active Display is actually a notification feature that shows you what notifications you have while you're screen is off. It powers on your screen while you're phone is locked to show you notifications periodically. This feature was developed for the amoled screen that the moto x has since that type of display can light up individual pixels and not the whole screen to save battery. But active display has been ported by a few different custom roms now like Omni.

Without installing an App with the "always listening" feature it is not possible.
There are Apps for that.
Open Mic+ is a good one. Use it myself.
I would like to completely skip the lock screen that has the shortcuts, etc that pops up soon as I hit the power button. I'm not talking about the lock screen with my password.
I've hunted and haven't found anything yet. That lock screen is not helpful to me. Maybe will have to wait on custom roms.
Thanks for any help.
Never mind ... Had to fix my typos.
Settings>Security. Put a check in the box next to "Bypass lock screen on wake".
Thanks so much. I've hunted and had tons of htc phones. How did I miss that.

Well, hopefully it does what you want. I played with it a bit here and it does work if the time you set to lock the phone has been reached. Just takes you directly to your pattern or pin lock. However, if that time hasn't passed, you still see the lock screen when you wake the phone up. At least that's how it works on mine.
Same here. Also, I still get the lock icon for two seconds then it auto skips to the lock pattern. Oh well. You're post was a big help though.

That's odd. When I turn mine on it goes directly to pattern lock. I never see the first screen. Perhaps pattern lock and pin lock act differently. Don't know why they would though.
Yeah ... Love the phone but little things like this make it a pain at times. I like to hit the power button most of the time and go straight to my screen.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah, I know what you mean. I use Tasker in combination with Secure Settings to do this. Wifi gets turned on automatically whenever it connects to the tower outside of town here. Then when I get home, it automatically connects to wifi (only if it's my wifi). When that happens, it turns off pattern lock. When I leave and the wifi disconnects, it turns pattern lock back on again. It's a little buggy on this phone though. Hit and miss it seems. I'm guessing it might have something to do with the way our root works so I'm waiting on s-off before I start trouble shooting it. It worked great on my Razr Maxx. Never missed.
Why push the power button? Just swipe up on the screen to unlock the phone and go directly to these home screen...
I hear ya. Yeah it gets a little old sweeping that much screen up 30 times a day just to get to my home screen. Going s off and custom ROM will help, as well.

Do you have pattern lock or a pin lock set up? The option doesn't become available until you set up one of the various types of locks.

Not sure if it will work but give the xposed module Xposed Addition a try. It lets you remap all the hardware buttons on your device. You can set some type of hardware key combo (ie. power+vol up) to turn screen on.
