Try Siyah kernel, it has "slide2wake"
Slide from left to right on your screen will wake it up without touching any button.
Or googy Max kernel has touch2wake, it allows you to wake up your screen by simply touch it

There is time out in touch wake in order to avoid unwanted wake because slide to wake is a more complicated gesture than touch to wake so slide to wake is not necessary to have a time out.
0 means never time out so will always keep touch to wake active, 5 seconds means ever since screen out within 5 second your can re-activate it.
Also, there are some apps that uses light sensor or acceleration sensors or proximity sensor to activate the screen, but personally feel these apps kill battery pretty fast...

+1 if somebody finds one.
Some people say by changing the cpu settings it fixes it.. But from what i have read is its going into deep sleep and takes 1sec to wake then 1sec to turn backlight on.. Maybe if somwone can change the backlight delay.. Probly the only real fix..

I saw it through logcat that it takes around 1 sec to set backlight brightness to intended level .

Will logcat point out which lines of which files to change that value? I do believe it can be fixed.

Set_backlight_brightness I think . I don't know

bump...........
I think thats because the phone is in deep sleep... When i have keeping minimum freq of cpu at 245 Mhz it was better and faster unlocking screen... But when Im at deep sleep while screen is locket it takes less than 1 sec to unlock it... When it was at 245 it was unlocked at the same moment when pushing the button... but now I have problem with the disabling falling at the deep sleep... must make a new topic at general...
Just played around with setcpu a little bit, and didn't see any differences with different governors and min frequencies, in my case even if it's running at 800 MHz it takes 2 seconds to get backlight on. I agree about the backlight brightness not being set to the right level because i can already see the clock after ~1 sec even though the display is still mostly black.
Has anybody tryed using the backlight settings from froyo..

i can try but i dont know how to set they ? maybe u know?
and BUMP this topic ! that playing on my nerves !
bump, anyone know how to use froyo backlight settings?
I was yesterday testing this problem on 3 different roms 2.2.1 and 2x 2.3.x and its true that froyo is unlocking in a part of second but ginger needs more than 1 second... I also tested because of this cpu speed while phone is locked... In case of charging there is no deep sleep under 122Mhz but if not phone is chargit it goes automaticaly under 122MHz into deep sleep so I think that problem is there... Even the reactions of phone after unlocking are very poor while all aps are waking up from sleep to... So if anybody can put these setings from froyo to ginger it will be great!!! Or if anybody can tell how to disable falling into deep sleep in stock ginger roms...

Lag as in delay between pressing a wake button and when screen finally lights up. Yes, you still have it.
hey guys i think slaid480 had same problem but when he flashed ddkq firmware.it fixed his problem try ddkq firmware.

After 2 hours standby there is no lag, usually I charge overnight but I will try and leave it on, to test it but I think there is none.

Power button lag

My phone doesn't response until about 0.5 sec after I press the power button.
Is it normal for this lag to happen?

This thread will help explain some of that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370803
^^ That thread only applies if you are running entropy512's kernel or have your governor set to conservative.
But there is a slight delay that cannot be changed from waking the phone up. I believe it's 650ms. You'll have to check out entropy512's responses. He's covered it a few times.
If you're running straight stock, then .5 second delay is unusual.

Hey guys,
So I am having the same type of problem. The delay was happening on a completely stock phone (I just got it) after about a day of use. I just rooted it using the guide stickied to this forum (I am not sure if that kernel posted there is entropy's or not) and I got setCPU to overclock while the screen is off from 200 to 500 to see if that fixes it, but I didn't see any change. Any idea why?
Thanks
You all do know there is a lag because its waiting to see if you press the home button again to access that voice command stuff, right?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
We are not talking about the home button lag, the problem is the power button lag to wake the phone up from sleep.
Time to resume from deep suspend is 650 msec, mostly due to waiting for the radio to wake up - so far there is no known method to change this.
It's the same for the I9100.

i'm running ics'd out v1 with siyahs kernel and I don't have this lag at all. you should try out this combo.
I just did a test and it takes an average of 1.35 seconds to wake from sleep.

Then your phone is never hitting deep sleep - let me guess, your idle drain is about 4-5%/hour?

How to disable light in touch keys

I'm on Resurrection rom with jb and siyah kernel. Is there a way I can disable the touch keys from lighting up? I want them to work. Just not use the leds they have underneath.
Thank you!!

u cannot totaly disable them for sure ma8.
the only thing u can do is disable them when u touch the screen using Extweaks app.
but still they light up when u touch the soft keys though.
also u can reduce the voltage for them so that they r barely visible in day light.
Ok..I will lower the voltage
Thanks!

Can you not just go to settings-display-touch key light duration and select 'always off' ?

[Q] Button light for notification

Is there any app which turn on the light buttons if i have call or message notification? and thanks!
Yes. Backlight notifications (BLN) Can be activated on siyah or dorimanx kernel via exTweaks. For this you'd need to be rooted and be on either one of the above two kernels.. uses the LEDs of the two capacitive buttons like the notification LED on the nexus phones.

There is an app called no LED which displays missed calls, messages etc on your screen

No, it's works when screen is off. Can use it for email sms WhatsApp missed calls etc. Very customisable too.

Yeah, but when noled app is active with a notification, screen led stays open....so it consumes more battery than touch keys i think.....

Not really. If you really knew what your phone is capable of... The LED "bulbs" which your screen is made of are turned on only if there are any colors to display.this means that when you have a wallpaper, half white half black, only the bulbs where the white color is will be turned on. The bulbs on the area of the black screen stay off and that means that having no LED indeed is more battery saving than turning on the backlights.

Not exactly. NoLED is actually a known battery sucker even on an amoled since the phone is awake all the while the notifications are on. The advantage though, as someone mentioned is its customizability.
BLN on the latest siyah can be used without wakelocks (BLNWW option in exTweaks) but you don't get the blinking/ breathing option if you activate BLNWW. On standard BLN (with wake locks) you can have breathing or blinking LED options. Also can set it so that it deactivates itself if the battery goes below a set threshold..which is why I'm assuming it didn't work for the OP.

Do they work if you use the test button. Look at the charging options too. I apologise if the "easy tick box" comments offended you.
