Welcome to The EternityProject's Wake On volume Keys Hack
Pre-requisites
Must be deodexed
Tested on Gsm XT910
What do we have here?
This is a hack or modification done to the android.policy.jar to enable wake up/screen on when pressing volume up, down or power button.
Which Roms are compatible with this hack?
Tested on deodexed Gsm XT910. Should work with all Gsm versions. Verizon Droid Razr XT912 flash this only if you're using safestrap and deodexed in order to prevent soft brick.
Installation:
1. Download the zip file
2. Put it to the external sdcard
3. Boot into bootstrap recovery
4. Navigate to the folder you've put the zip file
5. Choose the zip file and install
6. Reboot and wait for it to boot up
Download:
Wake up on volume keys
The EternityProject Developer,
<<@>> shady_lanem <<@>>
Man!!!! Thank You for this!!!! You are truly a Genius!!! Was looking for this sooooo badly
It works!!!! Yipeee!!!!!
But it takes a little longer to boot after you flash this.... so dont worry
I'm using Razrx with Safestrap. Can I just boot to recovery and flash? XT912.
Yeah you can try that. But please note that this mod has been tested only on GSM RAZR and CDMA RAZR users hasn't still got any way to go back if anything really bad happens.
Anyway, if you're willing to test, you're absolutely welcome!
I don't think RazrX rom is deodexed. Check the system files and see if there're still .odex files in there
I'll check the Razrx side shortly...I'm on the rooted stock side now.
Heyy Shady
Volume Rokr wake works only a couple of minutes after the mobile starts. it stops working after sometime.

same thing happening here.
Not to be nosey (my roommate has the RAZR, so I poke about from time to time), but with the trackpad wake on the Incredible, it would only work while the CPU was awake. I imagine this is much the same.

This mod is not working properly, anyone know why?
@shady_lanem
Can you post the changes in the android.policy.jar?
I want to make it for odexed version on a stock GSM Razr 912.
I think this has something to do with the deep sleep state of android.
I enabled volume wak evia Xposed, but again it still works only for a couple of seconds after screen off, then you have to press power key only.
Any idea to get permenant volume wake??

The post you answered is about one year old You can get volume wake by using Xposed Framework on newer roms.
BTW which xposed module are we talking about ....
I have the xt912

I didn't find any xposed module (probably dtrail neither) which could do this. Anyway, slimbean 2.2 has this feature but it works on same way as this mod, after 1-2 mins the volume buttons can't wake up device.

I could develop an option for this into my kernel - anyone else wants this feature? It's much easier than touch wake.

Pls do add volume wake, I regret not using trackball wake on my nexus one and had to stop using the phone as the power button stopped working.
Hence I have mapped my search key as power key to turn off screen and volume key to wake up would ensure, no wear and tear of power key

Touch wake would be the most awesome feature.... Double tap to wake is a dream I've had since the LG G2 came out.....
Why is it so hard? How would it be implemented?

Would it be better than in slimbean? I mean, could it wake up phone after cpu goes sleep? If yes, of course it would be a great option. If no, then I guess it would be unnecessary/useless.

You just ask motorola for display diver's source code Then the chance will goes up to ~60% from current 0.1% (= you should write a new & working driver from scratch).
Same thing as the hdmi. It seems to be easy but it's not.
Touch wake and slide to wake, I have used on gnex, and were pretty cool... but still utility wise volume wake makes super sense to save power button for extended use...

@bladehu2, it will be better than In slimbean and aokp, as it will be kernel level, device specific implementation.
It works flawlessly on most android phones I have used gnex, nexus one, lg optimus one, etc
Hope we get this for our razr too...

is there a apk to wake up the phone with volume keys on the latest ICS UCLE2 ?
update: finally found a cwm for "UCLE2 wake up with volume key" on skyrocket forum and it works on i717 note!

widgetlocker can't wake up Samsung (phones)!
Widget locker is the easiest way to do it.
works great.
OK, I know you kids like talk to talk BS!
I'll PayPal anyone doing a YouTube showing widgetlocker able to wake up note on latest LD3 with volume key!
And I will PayPal you 25$ usd!
Here is the rule.
I don't want people cheating by flashing a addon to enable it.
Go to about phone and show me you on LD3.
After you wakeup phone with widgetlocket, uninstall widget locker.
Then turn off screen, if phone can't wake up with volume key. Then you will get 25$ usd.

Ok. I followed a guide to do this because I hadn't compiled/decompiled .jar files before, so I can't take any credit. I link the guide down below.
So, what you need to know about this is it's not a super clean option. There's no way to disable the volume keys waking the phone short of putting the original files back in place (which is super easy, just not checkbox easy). I suppose if somebody cared enough, they could make a flashable zip that just pushed the files for enable/disable. For me personally, I have never had a desire to disable it, so this is a good enough solution as-is.
So after this mod, Volume keys will always wake the phone from sleep. I use widget locker and I don't need to enable easy wake or even have widget locker installed to wake the phone with volume keys (just so you get the idea).
We need to edit a couple of files.
The first is the Android.Policy.jar file. The file is in the /System/framework folder of your device.
We also need to edit the keylayout files so that the volume keys can wake the device. These files are in /System/usr/keylayout.
/***********************************************************************/
Here is the Guide I followed. This should walk you through everything needed to get this done. Props to xda user tbriden for the nice walkthrough.
Here is a link showing what the source code looks like where we make the edit. We don't have source, so that's why we have to use the smali/baksmali stuff and we end up with more machine oriented code to edit instead of nice clean source.
And here is some light reading on keylayouts.
/***********************************************************************/
I edited all of the keylayouts which contained the volume_up/down keys and set them to WAKE, but according to the keylayout stuff from google, WAKE_DROPPED should behave the same, but I'm not entirely sure on that one, so I stuck with "WAKE."
Also, I attached my edited files in a zip. They are from Team Objection Perfection ICS #1, but I think the android.policy.jar should work on any ICS so long as it's not tablet mode.
Thanks very much
You put in a lot of effort - much appreciated. I'll try it tonight.

If you're running ICS and not dagr8 tablet, you may be able to just throw those in the appropriate paths with adb.
I know dagr8 tablet framework is edited but if I recall it already includes volume wake.

What ROM are you running? Have you followed the thread?
The ICS leaks didn't allow widget locker to do easy wake for the most part, unless the chef edited some frameworks.
I'm running ICS second leak (D3) and had no ability to do volume wake, even with widget locker and easy wake enabled.
Now I can do volume wake without widget locker (which I prefer all physical buttons to wake device, it's just more handy).
You could actually probably do reverse of what I posted earlier to disable volume wake. Probably just add volume keys into that switch statement so they are ignored

thanks for the edited zip!
i have asked others to make me a "UCLD3 volume wake" but they're too lazy to do it!
and i'm too lazy to learn to do it myself! haha
so i downloaded your edited android.policy.jar and replace it with the one from "UCLE2 volume wake" and use cwm to flash it!
i'm still using UCLD3, i found it has less bugs than the latest UCLE2 rom.
on UCLE2 rom, when i play wmv on landscape all i get is blue screen and use stylus to capture screen doesnt work.
Many people have been asking for this, so here it is. Thanks to "tbriden" for his info on this mod. As with many of my mods, This is currently for deodex'ed roms.
This also contains my Advanced power menu
Advanced Power Menu + Volume Buttons To Wake
Just Flash From Recovery
This mod will remove any of Runandhide's Mods, but I've already passed the necessary edits off to him, and he'll be updating his mod shortly
His mod can be downloaded RunandHides Mod
FROM RUNANDHIDES OP ABOUT THIS MOD
NEW!! for Viper 1.2.1 longpress home =menu, recent app = menu, volume up/down = wake device, half press camera button = search/voice search and includes Vinchenzop's APM
I've been trying to integrate these mods and even using them as standalone and my phone seems to be kind of retarded when it comes to them.
For instance, the advanced power menu mod doesn't work on my phone. Modding it myself or using your mod produces the same result: Holding down the power button to bring up the menu results in a soft-reset back to boot animation, every single time. Wiping either dalvik or cache has no effect. Even hard resetting has no effect. I'm hoping that it's because I've removed so many files in my attempts at a "Senseless" ROM that one of them may be reliant on this mod, and not my phone just being a strange lemon of sorts. Even the modding of framework-res took a LOT of work on my part because every single one of runandhide05's mods to it resulted in bootloops.
WTF?
Am I the ONLY one here? >

Use my framework-res.apk. The reason you're getting a soft reset is because its lookin for icons/layouts that aren't there. And before you notice...yes the files are improperly labeled, but that was just my quick way to get it to show right in the menu
Thanks for this. Coming from the 3D I developed a habit to wake with volume button. Now my habit can continue.

Wait wait wait......so the APM relies on the framework-res.apk? How interesting! that would make sense as to why it does soft-reset on me, as I didn't even try using another one. Every framework-res I've used just boot loops on me. I had to go through some pretty terrible crap to get a framework-res mod. runandhide05's removed the signatures, which is probably the first reason why mine would bootloop, so I added that back in and it still bootlooped. So then I took a stock framework-res and copied the resources.arsc over and that worked, BUT the notification bar became double the size. Every single technique I knew to decompile and recompile resulted in boot loops. I finally got it working with mine&runandhide05's mods, but the file I produced is closer to the stock in file size: 18MB vs 13MB (runandhide05s).
I will give your framework-res a shot and if it works, you'll have to let me know what you're using to decompile/recompile.

Its a f'in headache man, I do all my android modding on linux...but since ICS, I've got to decompile apks on my windows machine (which i am unfamiliar with) and then move them back to my linux machine for any smali edits.
I followed fernando sor's tutorial, to an extent to get a damn framework-res to compile.
Edit: You won't be able to decompile then recompile though...pm me your gmail
Thanx allot for the mod! are there other options in the works like using the camera button to ? That was my favorite because I like the volume buttons used for the "select track while screen off" mod.
Good work and thanx for the contribution
Hey Vin,
Can you add menu remap and long press home to this mod please ... I tried Run's newest mod and it all works except the vol wake so I'm currently using his mod that has LPH, Menu Remap and your APM which works great but I really miss vol wake ... I don't much care about the half press camera but others might ... It not just me, I posted in Run's thread and vol wake being broken was confirmed
Fyi, in his mod the vol wake works but only if you hit a vol key quickly after turning the screen off with pwr button and is repeatable ... If u wait more than 30 secs or so then a vol key will no longer wake the phone and u have to use the pwr button which pretty much renders the vol wake useless ... don't know if that info will help but wanted to fully explain
Thanks !

The camera/wake is just a .kl (key layout) edit, and I don't think that's be the reason for the delay/issues. But yea, I'll leave it out for the time being.

apologies, I said it in a PM to someone, but forgot to reiterate it here. I remade the mod, and it had the same results (delays and/or not working). I'll have to add each aspect one at a time and see what is causing it. This could take a bit (should be this weekend).
Why do you guys prefer the volume rocker to wake? Just curious as to how this benifits. I think its a negative when listening to music and the screen comes on when adjusting volume, no?

Easier one handed operation b/c you can reach it with ur thumb when you take it out of ur pocket without adjusting ur grip. This is just quicker, handier and reduces the chance of dropping the phone with less adjusting in ur hand. Also the same reason I put status bar expander on my homescreen since I can't reach the pull down with my thumb in one handed operation without adjusting my grip

I was wondering if anyone found a program that will wake the Inc4 with the volume buttons? I did some poking around last night, tried 2 different programs neither of which worked (Fix Broken Power Button and Wake All). I've seen people on other phones mention widget locker, but I'm not interested in paying 3 bucks for what seems like such a simple feature, nor do i want my lock screen changed.
I found one post for a droid razr maxx that talked about modding the qwerty.kl file. This post was back in march though and i know the Maxx didn't get ICS until last month, so I'm going to assume this won't work. I'll paste it below though for the devs to look at.
Browse to root/system/usr/keylayout
You'll want to edit qwerty.kl in a text editor and set the VOLUME_UP and VOLUME_DOWN keys to WAKE, just how POWER is set to WAKE.

you need to flash it on a deodexed rom, so either my ukb rom or stock deodexed
I've been searching XDA and Google up the wazoo looking for a way to do this... coming up blank, except for threads on other phones.... if it is there and I missed it please someone point me in the right direction! I'm looking for a way to allow my volume rocker to wake up the screen so that I can take a bit of the stress off the power button. Even better would be a way to wake the screen with a swype on the screen or on the softkeys, but I've been drawing a blank there too. I would like to accomplish this without having to go to a different rom (like CM), I like CM but on the LG I really like to keep some of the features that come on the stock rom (i.e. Qslide, quickmemo, lockscreen style)... so if this could be done maybe with a flashable zip, or a mod on a script or something that would be awesome.
Additionally I am wondering if there is a way to increase/decrease volume from the lockscreen. I know I can toggle between silent/vibrate/ring.... but if for example I select ring and the volume is low, I have no way to increase it without having to unlock the phone.
Already tried:
-numerous apps that are supposed to allow to wake the phone in customizable ways (none have worked)
-Lockscreen apps to allow volume rocker wake (even though I really just want to keep my stock lockscreen)
-modified a file called keypad_8064.kl to add WAKE after the volume up/down
Thanks!
p.s. sorry if this has been answered somewhere else, I've honestly been searching for two days with no luck
p.s. #2 if someone has any ideas or mods for the issue about the LED Notification frequency being so slow I would greatly appreciate it too. I did find threads about it but none of the solutions worked for me. Tried different apps with no success too

Thanks.... nice tool, although it doesn't have a volume wake option though. All it has is the option to disable volume wake (meaning if your phone already does it), but not to enable it. It did allow me to do something else I had been struggling with, but still at a loss about the volume wake thing.
I have the apk, not sure where I found it but it works great on the Optimus G.

wow... that was great. I can confirm the apk works just fine to allow volume rocker screen wake on my e970. Haven't monitored if it affects battery but at least so far it's working great. It does require Super User rights in case anyone else wants to try it.
Thank you!
BTW, on the issue of being able to control volume without waking the screen I installed this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.firestorm.vc&hl=es
It sets the app in the notification tray (not the status bar) so that you can control volume levels from the notification area.... since you CAN drop down this while the screen is locked it pretty much does what I was looking for. I should also point out that if other notifications come in on the phone, this one moves down the list, giving room for the new ones, so it doesn't impact new notifications on your phone.
Hello all Xperia Ultra lover I have tried and installed many exposed module and applications to get wake screen by volume keys without any success.
Even tried Keymapper to MOD default key configuration without any luck.:crying:.
Now just found really nice utility works with Exposed which wake the screen by volume buttons.
All credit goes to developer of this application. I am just sharing here so please thank him as well.
Using it since 4 days no any problem working like a charm.
You can download this module from here attached or you can download from download section of your xposed application.
After activating and rebooting just open application go to last menu other mod and activate volume screen wake reboot and you are done.:laugh::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Great find. But does it work with JB as in xposed repo it says some features dont work on JB.
Currently I am using Auto screen on which automatically wakes the screen when I open the flip cover. So even my vol buttons are not prone to wear and tear
Nevertheless will give this a try too.
