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
ps.#3 I'm using SnowJB on 4.1.2
Try Exposed + Gravity box. I know it says AOSP Roms but I use it on ATT Stock JB and most functions work. Haven't tried Volume wake though.

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.
An apk would be awesome.... Care to share it?

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.

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

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.
Im on mean rom 1.4 and it did work at first, but when I flashed the mod to use the shutter button as the search button it stopped working, my multiboot menu is gone too!

Hello,
This is must first post on XDA so i could not post this in the appropriate thread.
Firstly, thank you very much for an amazing ROM!!! Very impressive work!!
I have now been using it for a day or so and found, what i think may be a "slight" bug.
When I open the Dialer and press a key, the volume of the key tone appears/sounds to be on max. Once pressing the volume rocker, the volume then returns to the required setting.
I am not sure if this is a known issue... or if this is unique issue.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi,
The rule of "10 posts" is really annoying for me too. Anyway, to answer your question, the volume in dialer (i.e. when you press numbers) depends on the volume rocker set in the sound section (under settings). I am using Supernexus Build 5 with Dorimanx 7.4 kernel + Gapps 4.1.2 (the 11-10-12 one).
I hope that can help you fix that issue. Let me know if it helps you.
P.S: Don't be afraid of asking. We all learn from each other, right? Btw, build 5 is super smooth with Dorimanx 7.4 (default settings => no overclock or whatsoever).

I am loving it. Seems there is not way to "solve" this bug.
What advantage does Drominax give you? Do you have a link to it?
There is another really small issue. When I lock the screen the lock animation does not always show. Have you noticed this?
Do you know how i can lower the notification tones without affecting the ring volume?

Sorry, I wasn't too clear about your volume issue. So here is what I did:
Go to Sounds -> Volumes -> you will see 3 kinds of volumes that you can adjust (music media & others is the one affecting dialer volume). Other 2: ringtones (won't be affected when you use the volume rocker of the phone) and alarm (the same as ringtone: no effects from volume rocker).
The Dorimanx is a kernel with the option to overclock (use an app like: Rom Toolbox Lite). The kernel from build 5 is CM10 modified by Faryaab. Just try it and you will see how smooth it is. It's a CWM zip file. Do a NANDROID backup before you install this kernel just in case you don't like it.
The lockscreen animation depends on the settings under Development (Settings). Just keep 3 of them at 1x or 0.5x will give you the effect.

At night even at 0% brightness I find the phone too bright and would like a way to lower it. I also think the minimum volume level is too loud to be comfortable in a quiet room and would like a method to lower that as well. My last request is a technique to seperate ringtone and notification volume levels.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it out and while it does have separate sliders for the two volumes, it does NOT actually work. The two volumes are still tied together in practice. After ICS I think I've read its linked at a system or kernel level and I was hoping someone might work on a fix to address this. Also, referring to "hobbled" app fixes, I saw an app that used a workaround by switching to a custom ringtone to adjust that volume separately but was hoping for a streamlined system built in mod so that I don't have any extraneous apps or screens to delve into to adjust settings. I like minimalistic and debloat anything I dont use. Thanks again for the feedback.
i agree 100% with the sound being too loud, which has been an issue since ICS on even the Rezound...so i think their whole upgrade of the newer OS's made the volume louder. the rezound, on lowest sound level, was 20%..that's ridiculous, it should be half that, or around like 5%. even changing volume steps never worked because there was no lower volume.
There are a lot of things I want/need to do with the new update. No one is really talking about it, I know a lot of people probably haven't even updated yet. But I figured it would be nice to have a thread where these things can be addressed and updated as we get them done.
Xposed - The big one. Currently gets stuck in bootloop with the Unofficial version of Xposed for 5.1. Bootloop is easily fixed by running xposed-uninstaller in TWRP.
Change Phone DPI - currently working - *Requires Root* Change it how you usually do. Edit build.prop, or use an app like RomToolBox. I find that 264 works well and looks good. @xordos has a comprehensive guide here.
Apps don't auto-start after reboot - Partially fixed - *Requires Root*use a program like TitaniumBackup to install the apps you want to start at boot as a "system app". This will allow them to start after a reboot, but you will need to reconfigure them after you convert them. Do this for apps like Viper, over-clocking apps, and Tasker. Credit to @Iguanadon
3rd Party Launchers not sticking after reboot - Fixed - *Requires Root* All you have to do is freeze the stock launcher. Use a program like TitaniumBackup, find "Huawei Home" and freeze it. Make sure you have Nova or another Launcher installed first!
Battery Percentage in status bar - Until xposed is working there is a neat little app that allows you to have an overlay on your battery icon like this. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done. The app can be found here. Might want to leave accessibility access off, because it pops up a window everytime you plug or unplug the charger. Doesn't seem to start at boot. Could be annoying to launch the app every time you reboot...depends how often you do it.
Lockscreen - Stock one is horrible compared to stock lollipop. It is kind of pretty, but it takes multiple swipes to unlock sometimes, it doesn't show any notifications, its basically wasted space. I would like the stock Lollipop lockscreen. Anyone have any ideas besides the not so great one in the Playstore? I would rather have an official system lockscreen. On jellybean you just had to freeze the Huawei lockscreen. Now if you freeze Huawei Keyguard, the there is no lockscreen at all. Just the screen turns on and you're on your launcher home-screen. I tried finding the lockscreen app on a cm12 device, but it looks like it's built into the systemUI. I am currently using CM Locker. It's pretty nice, has notifications, and doesn't seem to have a delay like most 3rd party lockscreens.
Multitask screen - Again, I would like the stock Lollipop one, also built into the SystemUI. Once we have xposed, there is a pretty nice app here. Then you can assign the multitask button on your nav bar to open that instead. Worked well for me on jellybean.
The carrier text in the status bar - Fixed - Disabled in settings>display>display carrier name (thanks @xordos)
Boost speaker volume and possibly fix audio cut out bug - somewhat fixed - *Requires root* It's really quiet for some reason, considerably quieter than it was on Jellybean....I have had success with Viper4. Make sure you have BusyBox installed, and run it it at least once to install the framework. Then launch Viper4 and do all the stuff it tells you....Install driver, disable LPA, etc. Enable speaker master switch, enable "eXtra-loud" setting at the bottom, and change "Effect Strength" to Extreme. I noticed about a 20-30% volume increase from this. Might need to be launched again after a reboot, or install as system app. As a bonus, this app/driver also seems to fix the terrible audio bug where audio cuts out, and the phone starts lagging. Only 99% sure, but it hasn't happened to me while its active.
Change boot animation - Pretty standard guide I made here. This post includes the stock Lollipop animation.
If anyone has another thing or two they want fixed, I can add it here. If I find any answers I will update as well.
Carrier text, this can be disabled in settings - Display.

Nope. You can either keep upping the whole phone DPI little by little, or maybe use a different browser. I haven't noticed any discrepancies yet in my apps with 264.

Volume Increase
Any way to increase the volume steps so that the audio is louder? I have the volume all the way up and sometimes I can't really hear what I'm listening to unless I hold the speaker to my ear or wear headphones. I was using an xposed module to do this, but until xposed becomes available is there anything that works to increase the volume so its louder? The xposed mod I was using is called Volumesteps+ and can be found at http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.p1ngu1n.volumesteps . any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure how to install it on our new update, but I was using Viper4Android before the update. It is capable of making the volume even louder/quieter.

I tried it when I had 4.3 and couldn't really tell any difference. I tried it again this morning with not much luck either. It just doesn't seem louder than what normal volume would be. I know its not going to be extremely loud. I just want something that I don't have to hold the phone to my ear to hear what they're saying. Also with viper it hasn't been setup for 5.1 yet only 5.0.

On my nexus 5(which also had a horrible speaker), you could edit the mixer_paths.xml to boost the volume. I tried it on my Mate2, and couldn't really notice a difference.
After installing busybox, the viper4 driver, and disabling the LPA setting it recommends to, I can say Viper makes a noticeable difference for me. Probably about 25-30% louder.
Make sure you Enable the master switch at the top for speaker, and the "eXtra loud" setting at the bottom, and put Effect strength on Extreme.
Edit: Added my method to original post, with links.
Added boot animation guide.
ArcAngel, I have been trying mate 7 themes that were posted in the mate 7 xda forums. They are emui themes. They seem to work except that the fonts don't seem to load. In fact, I haven't been able to detect any font in the sdcard.

Do you have a link? I only see one Theme over there for 3.0, but it does look pretty nice.
Also updated original post with all the 3rd party launchers I have found with transparent nav/status bars. There's a lot, but none of the ones I would really like to use. Here's looking at you Nova/Apex. :crying:
