turn lock-screen on by volume buttons? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering if it would be possible to program the volume buttons to light the lock-screen since the fingerprint-button is so horrible to use. Thoughts from any developer?

Lock button less "clicky"

Does anyone else feel like the lock button is getting harder and harder to push? I am at the point were i have to use the tip of my finger to push it in enough. I havent dropped the phone or anything. Does anyone know any apps or anything that will map the volume up to lock and volume down to unlock? that would be awesome.

Grab "No Lock" from the market. It works and it's free...
That looks like it just disables the lockscreen. I want to make it so the volume keys lock and unlock the phone.

There really isn't anything that does that. (unless you want to give widget locker a try in the last post)

"No Lock" may not be exactly what you are looking for, but it would at least be "workaround" if your lock button gets worse.
Either way, best of luck!...
Widgetlocker works perfectly, I too use the volume buttons to unlock the phone, way easier to click and it feels a lot sturdier than the power button.
ok widgetlocker has an option to wake up w/ volume button. Wish i could lock w/ the up rocker and unlock w/ down rocker.
Try NoLock, it's way simpler and less laggy than Wigdetlocker, and free sd well...

id be very interested in this. anyone up for the challenge? il definitely donate to this.
you require widgetsoid for this..
widgetsoid's notification direct multitouch toggle power widget does not work on the atrix. I tried it and also tried "notification toggle" too. Same thing, instead of toggling directly from the pull down, it opens up another box on the home screen that u have to select. Ive been trying to find an answer as to why it wont work and I keep getting that "your system might not support, "multiclick notification". I dont know. Anyone wiser have any insight?

Power Control Plus will add a customizable power control widget to your notification bar no mods needed.
Moved .
When your using notification widget when you drag your menu down are you able to have for example 4 toggles in one single row and each control them directly by clicking on each one? Whenever I do this and try clicking on a toggle it just opens up another box in the home screen and then I can toggle from there. It does not directly toggle from my one line of 4 toggles . This is the same issue with widgetsoid too. I have tried this stock and rooted and with all combinations of Ginger blur and gladattix. Still the same issue .

i am using this for now but i know there is a way to do it via xml. PC+ puts it there but everytime you get a notification, it gets bumped below the notification odd but works.

[APP] Vibrate App

Does anyone know if an App exists that changes the volume setting to vibrate? I'm not asking for a toggle widget, I want an actual app. The reason is I'd like to be able to set my phone to vibrate from the Sense 3.0 lock screen and it doesn't allow me to install a widget. Ideally, I'd also like to have it lock the phone again after it has changed the volume setting.
UPDATE: I decided to make my own app that did this. The app will toggle the sound profile between normal and vibrate. You can launch it from the lock screen or anywhere else. I've attached it to this post. Please be easy on me as it's my first ever Android app.

I'd try phone silencer. Not sure if it'll suit your need though.

Try Audio Guru. If I understood you correctly, it should work for your needs
Neither of those are what I'm looking for. I want an app that acts like a widget. All that the app would do is change the sound profile.

HTC has a widget for that but as you Kno, no widgets on the lockscreen.... Sooooo
I guess that's ur best bet for now

Is it possible to have the app not unlock the phone when you use it from the lock screen?

I started down that path, but I opted to let it unlock the phone. The reason is that you have to press the power button to turn on the screen anyway. When I want to quickly turn on vibrate, I hold the phone with my right hand on the power, use my left to unlock with vibrate, then just power off the phone with my right hand. Make sense?
If you ask nicely, maybe I'll make you a new version that locks the screen
Great job, great app....thanks
So I'm having trouble finding a good way to lock the screen from my application. It seems as though only system apps have direct access to lock the screen. So far I've tried the following with no success:
Code:
KeyguardManager keyguardManager = (KeyguardManager) getSystemService(Activity.KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
KeyguardLock lock = keyguardManager.newKeyguardLock(KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
lock.disableKeyguard();
and
Code:
PowerManager manager = (PowerManager) getSystemService(Activity.POWER_SERVICE);
manager.goToSleep(0);
Any suggestions?

Tap to unlock in galaxy s2

hi all, as the title tells is there a way to make it possible? a single tap, double tap or as per user choice, or touching specific area in the display to wake the screen.
the display does wakes from sleep mode when receiving mail,calls extra without touching the keys, so can the same mechanism be achieved to unlock the screen?

This thread may be a good start. It's an app that lets you re-map the double tap to launch a certain apk. If you somehow change that to the unlock command or create a very basic app that unlocks once open then it should work.

i think we have to remap the wake event sent by home button or power button to the display unit, lets ask the app dev in your link and see if we can get something fruitful
according to me its a wierd feature..that requires tap to unlock......
always sliding is better nd stylish to use...........
tapping to unlock is a ****ty idea that all nokia symbian based phones exists......
so devs doesnt focussed on this .........
try widget locker or go locker, it provides as many as better nd good screenlocks than u said to make implement by devs.......

Put it this way, how about waking the phone from sleep mode using tap instead of pressing power key or home key. Won't that be useful ?

I think if that's the case (waking the phone by just tapping and not through the power button) buddy then the phone should be awake to recognize the tap causing battery drain and prevents the phone from going to deep sleep. On the other hand unlocking the phone by double tap might just be a good idea

I wonder what happened about this? Would really be useful, no progress eh?
Does anyone know if a rom which has options "tap to wake" or "tap to unlock" as in G2 ?
You need modifications in kernel in order to do this, and I doubt it would be battery efficient enough to make it work on this phone.

[Q] Simplicity v5: Disable lockscreens and volume key wake up screen?

Hi.
First of all, thanks to abhi922 for this great ROM. It is really light and cute.
I've read the thread in Development section, and I know how difficult it was to implement the lockscreens in this ROM, so it can be a little ironic that I want to disable them entirely, and even remove them to get a little more space. I can not find a way to disable them from the Simplicity options, it just let me choose between locks. It is possible to get rid of the them?
The other question is whether there is any way that the volume buttons do not wake up the screen. I use a lot the music player (PowerAmp), and I don't like having to turn off the screen every time I go up or low volume. I`ve read that PowerAmp don't do this, but in my case, it does.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I have activated the toggle in the status bar. But is there anything more ... permanent? Do not know if it's normal, but I have to use the lockscreen toggle every time my phone restarts. It seems to work much like the "no lock" app: does not disable the lockscreen, only prevents it activates.
So I wanted to know if it is possible to get rid of the lockscreen, or is that Android simply does not allow it, and now I have to spend the rest of my life (or more like... phone life) inactivated it every time I turn on the phone. I know it is not that bad, but well... yep.
Ok, I think I've made it (at least disable screen wake from volume keys, for lockscreen I'm still using "no lock" until I find another way to get rid of it)..
I found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086526) and downloaded the file in the first post, but doesn't work for me. It seems that disabled lockscreen and avoid volume keys to wake up screen are not compatible. You have to choose one -_-
But reading the rest of the thread get me this idea and it works:
I've open /system/usr/keylayout with my root explorer and edited all the files that have VOLUME_UP and VOLUME_DOWN on them (in my case, bcm_headset.kl, qwerty.kl, sec_key.kl and sec_keypad.kl).
The thing is that you have to delete the word WAKE from each VOLUME_UP and VOLUME_DOWN that you find.
Mi lockscreen is desactivated (with "no lock" app) and my screen doesn't wake up anymore with the volume keys AT ALL
Thanks to DocRambone and aydc for the ideas. And to Hitesh2626 for your attention.
