Does any know how to make the screen turn on pressing the round button? During a call getting quick access is a pain having to press the power button.
No solution yet but it would be great....
Another great idea for the TP
Hey there,
I am looking for a way to remap my power button to launch a shortcut.
My goal is to make Tasker hibernate all 'greenified' apps, and turn off the screen when I press the power button.
This way I can turn off automatic hibernation in Greenify, and only 'greenify' apps when I explicitly turn off my screen, and not when it times out.
I've looked into several apps, but they all lack the ability to either remap the power button, or making it launch a shortcut.
I am running CyanogenMod 11 on my Samsung GT-I9300.
Hope someone could help me out!
You really don't want to do anything that would make you use the power button more. That is the first thing to die and you've got problems if it does. Much better to map a soft button or gesture to do what you want.
I thought about your comment, but it won't make me use the button more, because I use it anyway to lock my phone.
But nevertheless I could try to use it less. The problem is I use touch to wake the screen, and only if I lock it with the power button touch wil not wake the screen. If I wear the phone in my pocket, my leg wakes the screen trough the pocket.
I now made two profiles. One with proximity sensor, screen off and orientation upside down. And one the same, but orientation face down.
This way it will greenify apps when I put the phone in my pocket, standing or sitting.
I might look into gestures because then the sensors won't have to run when the screen is off saving me some precious juice am I right?
Still like to hear about remapping hw keys.
you can remap your power button here
System/usr/keylayout
then edit with text editor "Generic.kl"

Can I also map a shortcut to it? And do I have to remap again after an update?

I accidentaly found out that there's a difference between the 'Tasker lock system' and the 'Secure Settings lock' actions.
With the Tasker action, touch to wake still works, but with the Secure Settings one it won't.
I now set up two profiles, screen on + proximity + upside down and screen on + proximity + face down. These greenify all apps and turn my screen off with Secure Settings. Also long pressing the menu (touch)key will do the same.
This way, when I put the phone in my pocket it will lock the screen and not wake up when still in my pocket.
But if I leave it face up and the screen times out my apps won't be greenified. I also made a double tap gesture in Nova Launcher that turns my screen off by the default Tasker system lock, so I can wake it by touch and my apps won't greenify.
Not really the idea that I started with, but maybe even better!

The only way I can turn on my Nexus 5 now is using adb and a computer. Is there a way to possibly turn on my phone on the road? Without the use of a computer?
You can remap with the Volume button.
Just double tap screen to wake
I didn't think the N5 had double-tap. My N6 needs an app, and be rooted, to do it.
Turning on the phone from sleep may be possible (double tap, magnetic screen case, remap button) but if it's been completely switched off...? How do you switch it on without a power button? The power button remap sounds feasible (how do you do that, by the way?) but then how do you change the volume?
Is there any way to disable the home button on the lock screen? I can make it not show up but pressing where it was still wakes the phone up.
Would also like to know this.
Hello.
After using the phone for some hours, the "tap to wake" cover screen doesn't wake the screen.
Neither do the double press on the side button for taking a picture..
Notifications and calls show up like normal.
Is this just me or?
Did you remap tye side key? Are you using Bixby? Is aod enabled? Did you try a restart?
Did not remap key, double press is photo, hold down is turn off. Bixby sucks, so no. Aod is enabled but not on the front screen. Restart solves the problem, but it has happened 2 days in a row now.
