Is there any way to disable the home key while my phone is locked, it keeps either unlocking itself because of this or interfering with the lockscreen music controls. I am running the official ICS which just came out. If this isnt possible is there a way to remove the lock screen music widget? Pretty much the problem is that the home key lights up the screen and makes it touchable per say. Thanks all.
To disable the home key while phone is locked you have to edit(with root explorer) a file called pm8058-keypad.kl which is found in system/usr/keylayout.. There is a line which says
Key 102 Home Wake dropped
You have to delete the wake dropped and then save the file. Reboot your phone and voila!

I have been trying to Find a Macro Mapper or some kind of 3rd party ap to lock my device when i press the power button. The only work around at this time is to use Lock Device with 4 number pin and 0min lock setting. however i am tired of constantly pressing digits and would rather use native Lock Function that requires bottom left tap to unlock than middle right side tap to confirm unlock. However, it is only initiated from a Lock on screen tap.
IF anyone knows how to enable this lock by pressing the power button which is in my case on the right side of my mogul(PPC6800) that shuts off the screen and powers down to standby i would greatly appreciate it. this is also a replacement for S2U which has a few bugs with slide out keyboard and memory leaks.
Try this...
http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJDeviceLock
there is a program by spb that has this funtion... I don't know the name of it but i will look around. I don't remember the specifics of it, but there was a check box that says to lock teh device when you hit the powerbutton (or anytime the display turns off)
i believe it is SPB mobile shell
"Device Lock
Spb Mobile Shell 1.5 improves usability of device locking. Now you can lock your device using a hardware key, soft key on Today or a shortcut. You can also unlock the device using only soft keys. When your device is locked the Now Screen shows you the most important information, so in most cases you don't even need to unlock the device. "

you can at least try it out and see if it does what you want.
damn i apparently didn't didn't read all of your post... so you don't want to use slide2unlock.. hmm i guess your best bet is to try spb mobile shell and play with the options to see if you can get it to do what you want -- unless of course someone wiser than me knows of something else.
::ignore below:::
it turns out that what i was really was thinking of was slide2unlock
http://ac.xenpage.eu/S2U2-0.99c-WM5.rar
(from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=353008)
options:
lock when device wakes up --- on/off
lock when backlight turns off ---on/off
power off in --- (time in S)
but blank screen only -- on/off
blank screen on talk -- on/off
then it has some other options for how it looks -- but if you don't mind doing the slide bar to unlock the phone it will do what you want.
Hello together
I have a little problem with my HD2. I have the Goatrip 6 ROM installed with Cookie´s Home Tab 2.0 and S2U2 2.43. The problem is that S2U2 don´t lock the long press end key.
There is a not choosable option in S2U2 2.43. "Don´t lock long press end key"
I need a program who locks the long press end key similar with the lockscreen. Do anybody know a program? Thanks for your help.
I don't think it is possible.
The normal/official rom lock (with the slider or hd mini version) doesn't lock it either.
It's probably something to do with that key being the power key, that it will have priority over everything else to allow you to power off. All keys are able turn the screen on, but long press send key doesn't work while locked, maybe because it's a hack and not standard.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think u could remove it by closing Endkey.exe.... But u cannot block it just for S2U2...
Hi,
I am using Widgetlocker because of the ability to unlock with the keys on the side of the Atrix (volume keys).
But after unlocking the screen it is impossible to immediately use the fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone.
What is the correct setup to get Widgetlocker unlock the phone.
Expected behavior:
1 The screen is dark
2 Press the Volume key to have the Widgetlocker-Screen visible
3 Swipe the finger [not working]
4 Phone is unlocked [not working]
Currently I have to press the Back button after step 2 to see the Motorola/Atrix Unlock screen (where I can swipe the finger and unlock), which is annoying.
Any ideas? Thanks for any input.
Sounds like you just have conflicting lock screens. I would try lockbot it disables the system lock.

Thanks for your feedback, was checking on the market.
But as far as seen no Vol. Key support - instead I have to shake it (probably as well not the best way in business)...
I use No Lock. This allows me to wake my phone with the volume rocker rather than the power button..which I prefer. If I'm going out and about somewhere I feel like I want the fingerprint scanner on..I simply turn the lock back on.
Even though WidgetLocker doesn't prompt you to swipe your finger it should stil accept it. Can you confirm you're trying this?
I have a beta that improves reliability of using the fingerprint scanner. Let me know by email if you'd like to try the beta.
Hi,
I can confirm that it sometimes works probably after I started the phone.
But later it is not possible (at least for me), so my question was what are the correct settings to get this behaviour. I would like to check - if it's my fault.
If it works - you are right - only swipe and it's unlocked.
But the usual way is that it is not working, so I have no chance I have to press the back button (to get the stock lock screen where swipe is possible).
Thanks for your help.
Now that I have root, i would like to be able to unlock the screen with the menu button, just like I did on the xperia Ray or Arc by using the menu unlock (for root) application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsInRlYW1kb3VjaGUua21vYnMudW5sb2NrIl0.
But it doesn't work, it's like the capacitive button are inactive until the screen is unlocked, so the mod doesn't work.
I heard that we can place an empty file somewhere to enable the menu unlock, but i'm afraid that's already what the menu unlock app is performing.
Has anyone an idea on how to make this work (without using a lock replacement application that never works properly).
I tried to replace the WAKE_DROPPED to WAKE on the menu button but still no success.
when i use any phone or tablet, i think some day the home button (or the N button in nook tablet) will not be working, so i try to not press it many times,
i found an app "button savior" , it let me go to the home screen easily without pressing the N button,
but every time i want to unlock the screen (slide to unlock) i have to press N button, is there any way to do this without pressing the N button?
for the ipad, smart cover will help unlock, multitasking gestures will help exit apps,... easily. but i'm not using the ipad.
You can unlock with the power button or if you have CM7 installed I believe you can set to unlock with volume keys
Lock Screen app
Before switching to CM7, I use to use a free app called Lock Screen. You may want to try it.
