[Q] Home Button to turn on the phone.

Hi,
How to activate the "Home button" to turn on the phone?
With my Xperia Arc, I can turn on the phone with the "Home button".
With my Xperia S, it's impossible to turn on the phone with the "Home button"
I must use the power button on top, this is much less practical...
One idea ?
Very Thanks alot

There is NO way to activate it because it is not a physical home button. The home button will be functional when the O.S is loaded. On the other hand The Xperia Arc has a physical button to trigger the power on/off switch on the circuit board.
It's much better this way. Before I had problems with my X10 turning on in my pocket because of the home button being accidentally pushed.

Is most agree. I miss my home button wake up too.
Can it realy be true that it can't be software programmed to wake up on home button. Someone create a app that can do it. Or swipe all 3 buttons from left to right could be cool feature to wake it up. Why didn't do that.

very very good idea.. swipe left to right with all boutons!
I can't recommend wiget locker high enough for using the volume buttons or camera button for waking the phone - works perfectly.

Not necessarily true. The Nexus S home buttons were capacitive just like the Xperia but CM9 had an option to wake the device on with them.
It may well be just as possible on the Xperia, just needs someone to make it work like the CyanogenMod team did with the Nexus S
Wouldn't that be an additional drain on the battery to keep those buttons active during standby? Wake by volume keys would be far more useful, and do-able.

Power button - camera button - volume buttons... meh... it's still not the same as home button
It's more natural to press home button and then unlock the phone...

I agree and that was the bottom of my subject
If is done with the Nexus S, we must be able to do for our Xperia S...

I like using volume button because I can wake the phone up by one hand. With my small hand now press the power button by one hand is not comfortable.
Double click on volume button would be good too.
Can you try using another launcher ro check if volume buttons are responding when screen is locked...

Screenshot button in Power menu

Hello guys, for a long time I'm looking for the MOD that will add Screenshot button to Power Menu options.
Something like this but in that MOD there is no Screenshot button as I see. Can someone help me to find that MOD?
I'm running on HyperGalaxy ROM v1.7, JB XXDLI7 leak
So you can take screen shot of the power menu ? IT's not so hard to press Power button + Home button for 2 sec.
i love my girlfriend <3

[Q] Screenshots on L7 II and CM11

Hello, is there any way to take screenshots but not pressing power button and selecting 'screen capture'? Like with stock rom with the quickmemo button, or maybe with volume button + power button.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks!

If you have Xposed+Gravity Box, you can configure many key shortcuts to do so. For instance, I configured double press on menu button to take a screen capture (as well as long press this key for Torch).

Home and Power button replacement (no-root)

For the people who is a control freak, or with broken power or home buttons, I am happy to share these two absolutely beautiful apps I have discovered.
1. Multi-action home button
http://www.google.co.in/url?q=https...7n4pkQ&usg=AFQjCNFsr2yX486-UxxUG3mGaS0z1TT6fQ
This app makes a virtual home button on the screen just above the home button. Various configurations to try. Double tap or long hold options available to set according to the user.
2. My Home button
http://www.google.co.in/url?q=https...YAjxHg&usg=AFQjCNHBABZ8kToSryvhOweLEj1UNpyu9w
This app enables a widget on the notification panel with option for home, recents and power buttons (and another one for app shortcuts ) Very handy if u r concerned about breaking ur power and home button.
And if u are handy with apktool and modding systemui, here is another option for the systemui mod. Try this link, and yes, this option requires root and works only on Samsung devices.

Cheers. And plz help me get some recognition in this community by hitting thanks button below.
Thanks for the recommendations. Didn't know Multi Action Home Button. Nice app, but like so often: pulling down the notification bar doesn't work on Lolliflop anymore!

Multi action home button is bada**. Lol. I use it all the time, and my home button, I use it just to lock the phone. Using Nova launcher prime, and fortunately the swipe down gesture works for notification panel in the latest update.
