Is there a way to disable the N button as a home button with CM7? I use the nook for kid entertainment and my 1 year old keeps pressing the N button and it stops video playback.
Depending on what Movie player you use you can lock the device while a video plays so that nothing would happen when he hit the N button. I would have to look through the settings again but I think there is a way to disable the N button but I have never tried it as it helps when an app freezes and I need to get back to the Home screen and to bring the Status bar back when I am running a fullscreen app so that I have access to the soft buttons for back and menu.
Agreed...just try a different player. I love MX Player. Very good and the screen lock also locks out the hard button.

Cool! I never realized that some players can lock the hardware buttons. The one I was using would lock the screen, but not the buttons. MXPlayer has foiled my little one's attempts to press that pesky N. Thanks guys.

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a app to change the button that powers up the phone out of sleep.
Normally you press the power button and then unlock drag with your finger.
I would love to see it changed to the optical button press, as it's the only feature of the iphone i like
maybe you can use Screen Mode Widget ,change it's state to 'Awake Stay',then the device will not screen lock but will dim(press any button will awake the screen).Try it

Slide function doesnt seem to work.
I usually press the optical button or home button the im able to slide the screen to unlock, do not think this is implemented coz then the display will turn on and off if you fx has it a pocket.
If you press any button does the screen come to life? I mean are you able to unlock device? if so then it works

I've also used LockBot Free cuz I don't really like the HTC lock screen. How ever I stop using it because it wakes my phone with any button I press and I tense to hit the volume rocker all the time. but it is a good alternative.
Anybody tried this method from desire topic? (root needed)

When I first got it, the volume button would wake up the phone. A few days later it stopped doing it. Maybe I changed some settings but I've been looking thru them all and can't find it.
Was this a bug? I know most people need apps to be able to do that from what I read.
It was so much nicer than pressing the power button. *sigh*
I like waking up the phone with the volume buttons as well. I use a program known as widgetsoid 2.x, you can download it from the market, that lets you unlock the screen - meaning that you can wake the phone with the power button or volume rockers and won't need to slide to unlock it either.
WidgetLocker allows you to wake up the screen, and thus unlock the phone, from the volume keys as well.

So you can't do it without an app?
Must have been just a tease. lol
I was hoping there was something simple in the settings somewhere.
Download No Lock, it allows you to use the volume rocker + power button to wake up the phone and gets rid of the lock screen for those of us that don't like it.
I use NoLock as well. Occasional Opera Mobile errors when waking the phone up, but overall NoLock works well...
Thanks, tried no lock. Works pretty well. Few times it still locked but I can live with that.
Thanks, No Lock was much better than widget locker that i've been using. The slider in widget locker is so slow/laggy.
You can also download "lock screen" to be able to lock screen by touching an icon instead of the horrible power button.

Atrix Wake Up On Volume Down Button
If you are using a custom ROM with cyanogen mod go on settings-cyanogen settings- input- and tick volume rocker wave.
this will allow you to wake your Atrix without using the annoying power button.
If this helps please press thanks.

I have an LG Optimus ME P350 Android phone that has a soft key for a back button, but I was wondering if it's possible to use the touch screen to go back instead of using the soft key? For example, when using Android 2.x I go into the default sms app and there is no onscreen button to go back, so I have to use the soft key button.
The reason I'm asking is because the soft key backlight doesn't illuminate when the touch screen is pressed, so at night when I am in the SMS app and I want to navigate backwards, I cannot even see the 'back' softkey because it doesn't illuminated. The soft key backlight only illuminates when you press them.
Here is a photo of the LG Optimus ME P350:

Go to market and search on screen softkey, there are several app for you to choose.

By on screen software do you mean this?:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dasur.slideit.vt.lite&feature=search_result
This is just a keyboard for SMS. It does not provide a back button that applies to the entire phone and all Apps. For example, when I play a game and I want to go back, that keyboard won't be displayed will it?
In CyanogenMod there is an option to show screen softbuttons in "Improvements for tablets"
But I think you should go with your phone to service or something like this cuz using screen softbuttons is more like a workaround than the solution
here is softbutton app https://market.android.com/details?...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zbWFydC5zd2tleSJd
hi i was wondering if there is a way to change music tracks like on the iphone where you double tap home and there is music buttons to change tracks without leaving the app
like when youre playing a game and you want to change tracks,
right now i have to leave the app to change it!
and this is when there is no notification bar!
please and thank you
Music is always in notification as long ur listning.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
yeah i know that.
but im saying when im playing a game. say like shadowgun
there is NO notification bar
Depending on the music player, and the headphones, press the headphones button a few times or hold it down.
Or use something like Sensor Music Player.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Some can change the song by pressing and holding the volume buttons. Though I don't know if it works when you're in a game too or only when the screen is off.

Depending on which music player you are using, and whether you use a security screen lock or not, you can just simply lock the screen and turn it back on and:
- if you use the stock music app, there will be controls on the lock screen for you to change tracks or pause
- have screen lock music control widget enabled from the settings of the 3rd party music app you are using (if the app has such feature)
Or you can just press the home button, pull down the notification bar then go back to your game since Android can multitask
yeah that seems to be the only ways!
haha thats not great is it --'
should be something like music controls when you long press home! like music buttons in the multitasking window
Yeah.. but about what others were saying before this, those music apps that have the holding volume buttons to change tracks should work as well when you're listening to music while playing games
eg. of apps like PowerAMP or PlayerPro (which even has a "Shake It" feature)
Maybe there is a music app in de appstore..
That works with the volumebuttons, if you hold it in, they skip to an other song.. I don't know if there is an app such like this, but it might be worth looking for it in the appstore?
volume buttons works only when the screen is off..the only way with the stock player is the multitasking..simply switch between music player and the game
the shake feature isnt that useful i think...
hmm yeah seems like android is lacking in this department! its annoying to swtich out of the game just to change one song
and yeah volume button change doesnt work on screen on!

No way to disable the capacitive keys on demand..though you can permanently disable them by activating the on screen navigation buttons
