Question about L roms - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, been checking the development forums and looks like there is not yet a custom rom based in stock android L images.
I just need volume rocker wake, i am afraid of damaging my power button (i use it to much to turn on and off the screen). Happened already to my with older phone.
Is there a way to atleast archieve that for now??
Thanks

Anyone?

well, most developers do not make roms from the stock img. most developers use the code from aosp. stock and aosp differ. but yea, most future roms are just basic lollipop at the moment.

Thanks for your answer, I just need an option to turn the screen on using the volume buttons

youll probably have to wait a week, 10 days max. i know rastapop(was rastakat) will include it in its next update.

maybe it's possible to gain "volume rocker wake" using some custom kernel?

As far as I know such an option cannot be added using a custom kernel, only option is double tap to wake which serves my purpose but drains battery (too much for me).
Best regards.

"No Power Button" Project

Okay so im having a little project to get rid of using power button, cuz mine is really "soft" and i believe someday it will stop responding...
Im currently using few apps&tricks:
Turning off screen:
Screen Off & Lock
Turning on the screen:
Volume key wake
or as in most roms now, its enable-able in settings/tweaks
Rebooting, entering recovery or bootloader:
Quick Boot (Reboot)
And recovery:
4EXT Recovery Touch
Im currently running cm7mod rom and i am trying to find a code or good replacement to open "cm7 power button menu or advanced boot menu" if its called that, to open from shortcut or different key then long press power button. And another one for now is taking a screen shot from different combo then "power button+home" I know there is some apps to take screenshots but i would prefer to edit some files myself to make it happen.
Hope this helps somebody with same issues and maybe someone can give me some pointers!
PEACE
Thanks for the tips.
I'm sure this will come in handy for people who're wearing out their power button (like me!!)

Hey, thanks for that video. Makes for an interesting party trick!!
But the problem with this is phone unlocking inside your pocket, and secondly, continuous polling of the proximity sensor is going to gobble your battery up pretty fast. But i'll have to try it out for atleast a day to support that theory.
Thanks for the info anyway.
Did anyone try to use warranty because of the power button? mine is going softer every week...

Good news coming for your project in the next couple of days. Need some finetuning, but it's looking promising.
You won't be able to simply edit stuff to make it work on other roms, but Reaper will have it.
Cheers

Yummy, more mischief from the chef!!
I've always used Screen off apps on all my devices !
Even since the days of WinMo there was such app
One of the first apps I install on my phone when I load a New ROM is screen off and lock
I don't need the volume wake though - that would just wear out the volume buttons when I already use it for music control

Volume Button Wake-up

Hello together,
i got a question for the wake up macanism ... Is there a tool or another apk to get the One S wake up via Volume Buttons ?
I dont like to use my power switch so often that i break ... so im thinking this would be a very useful function in roms ?!
Regards,
Daniel

This would be one of the main reasons I would root, that and to use some of the good apps that require root, and to theme. But I need volume wake I hate the power button at the top. It really makes no sense lol. It would be great if there was an app for this but if there was it probably would require root. I would rather avoid rooting, since the phone barely needs it! Also I have slide to wake on my GNex and I love it. just swipe from left to right to wake the screen.

hi... i am a new user of android phones,,,,,just see a friend having a custom rom in his desire s....but i have a fear of my set being bricked...but loved few features which are not in my official HTC one s jelly bean Rom...like sweep to awake the screen while set is locked...and making screen shots...otherwise updated jelly bean is good to me...Rather these features could be incorporated in my official rom... please respond ...if there any solution available to this...
Hi! Take a look through your phone's settings, find Locksrceen settings, where there should be options for methods of unlocking your screen. Hopefully there is an unlock setting that you will enjoy.
As for screen shots, do a search for apps in the Market/Play Store. There are several screen shot pass that do not require root.

There are two ways of taking screenshots on the HTC One S. You can do the Android way, which is pressing and holding down the volume down and power off buttons until the screen flashes, or you can take a screenshot the HTC way, which is pressing the power off button and the home soft key simultaneously. The screen should then flash white. It will be saved in your gallery. Hope this helps

For sweep2wake you need to unlock and root your phone, flash a custom ROM and a custom kernel for that ROM which supports sweep2wake.
custom kernel

[Q] How can I wake up screen by volume key

Sorry for my English
I was using official JB Leak for a while. In this ROM, I can easily enable "wake up screen by volume key" and " lock screen by search button(long press) functions in the setting. However, recently, I have flashed a CM10.1 custom ROM and I couldn't find the similar setting.
I have already tried many apps on the play store but it sounds doesn't work. I also found that I can edit the qwerty.kl files to enable the functions, but there are too many versions and i don't know which one is suitable for my Atrix2. Could anyone help me, I really don't like pressing power button.

Flash AOKP or PACman.
I know those have the settings.
Theres a little more to it than just adding a few lines in a file.

[Q] Wake by using Volume Rocker

Hi guys,
I was searching for quite some time now and found one similar mod on the xda forum for what I am looking for (but unfortunately only for the Nexus 4).
My aim is to be able to wake the device by using the volume rocker in addition to the standard power button.
I have already tried editing the generic.kl file in /system/usr/keylayout/ by adding WAKE behind the VOLUME_DOWN value with no success and would like to know if there is any other way to accomplish this.
Thank you for your help.
PS: If anybody also knows how to achieve a maximized lockscreen widget on wake instead of the standard minimized one that would help me as well

app called touch control will most likely be able to incorporate Nexus 5 to wake up with knock or slide. Also, "turn off the screen" app is helpful for now.
In case you still concern, it is implemented in the GravityBox, under Navigation key, VOLUME ROCKER
