You can use xposed module for it
And many ROM supported it already

I forgot to state that I prefer not to root the phone at this stage, but I did some research and found that rooting the phone and installing the xposed module is the best solution. (Reason: apparently changing the binding of a physical key at system level requires root permissions and existent apps actually listen all the time for the key in background, causing battery drain.)
Thanks for the hint anyway
I think its in wrong section.. please read before post.. thread reported
Finally I made the choice to unlock the bootloader and root the phone.
I went straight installing xposed and gravity box module. Applying all my customizations, including the volume button wake up and the double tap standby, was a absolutely a breeze.

Why don't you try "Pocket Lock" app which uses the sensors to wake up...!!
Please hit thanks if you find helpful.

Hi, my girlfriend just got this phone, and her being a girl she is not wanting me to root the phone cause she thinks its bad... lol. But she wants to be able to use the volume rocker to wake up the phone. I think it is a huge design flaw that you are supposed to use that tiny recessed button to wake your phone IMO anyways. I searched, but it doesn't look like it can be done without rooting... can it? I only found mods for rooted phones. Please let me know, she hates the phone if she has to keep using the little power button to wake.
Is there any other solution to waking the phone without the power button?
Thanks guys!!
I'm not 100% positive, but fairly certain that it is not possible. In order to make a change like this, you are going to need to change up some of the underlying framework which can only be done by installing a zip/script via recovery.
Widgetlocker in the android market. The option is called "easywake". The app does tons more than allow volume rocker wake up! Its one of those must have apps.. no root required.
+1 for WidgetLocker...Waking the phone via the volume buttons is the main reason I use the app. I can long press the search button to lock the screen etc...using the "Screen Off and Lock " app.

Im looking for a way to add 'Volume rocker to wake' function to my HOX+ its rooted and running AR 6.2. I know it might need some coding which I have very little experiance with so if it involves that a "Fools" Guide to do it would be greatly appreciated.

Both Viper roms have this option inside tweaks, you can wake phone using VOL UP and/or turn it off using VOL DOWN..

There is obviously a bug by using the ViperX+V1.0 ROM with the Viper Kernel...
After a few seconds, the ROM doesn't react on the volume rockers, they seem to be deactivated at some point..

Okay, the problem has something to do with Titanium Backup Pro!
Make sure you dont freeze HTC Media Link and Personalization!
I did it for hiding the Buttons in the App-Menu.
After rebooting my HOX+ the whole Sense Workspace was gone - nothing showed up, even after a few reboots.
Then I reactivated all freezed Applications in Titanium Backup Pro.
Now the volume rockers work proper for wakeup!
To threadstarter:
The Venom team done awesome work!
Get the ViperX+ ROM and re love your phone
just amazing!
Thanks.
Hi, I'm on the official Samsung update and wanted to know if there is an app or Something that would allow the volume rockers to wake the phone instead of the power button. Searched the play store but all I could find was the "proximity sensor" wake apps but I find they drain too much battery.
Have you guys found any tweaks??
FOUND flashable zip!
found a thread with a flashable zip, do you know if it works with our phone? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987669
If a mod isn't for your phone you stand a good chance of borking your phone.
If you don't mind me asking, what's so great about volume wake?
its just to prevent damaging the power button from over use, if im able to wake using volume rockers it evens the button usage

For those with the sticky power button issue that'll cause boot loops.
Have you found a solution yet? I tried to modify the key layout files and set all Volume Up/Down to wake, no luck.
Thanks

hey im using an app called "tap tap app", i wake using the proximity sensor and you turn the screen off by using a widget button. not exactly what i was looking for but its been doing a good job of reducing my power button usage.
Doesn't work for me, even after I select "invert sensor". Anyway, thanks

Hello All,
My HOX+ 's Power button is not working properly .. it takes a thousand taps to wake the beast. I This phone is running a STOCK unrooted ROM,
I was wandering is there a way to wake it up using the Volume Rocker.. More over any ideas on what might have made the power button unresponsive? or is there a cure to that ?
Please Help
What about apps "tap to unlock"?
I think your best option might be to root your phone and install a custom rom. InsertCoin 5.0-6 is an excellent stable rom that supports sweep to wake and volume rocker to wake.
Best of luck.

There's an option in Sense 5 Toolkit - Controls>Volume2Wake - Full reboot
Hope this helped.
Hi all, my power button has went in but it's still pressible but very hard.
I am using stock rom without any root.
My warranty has already completed, I need a nice app which does the job of power button.
Double tap to wake is not working properly in my mobile because i have installed a temper glass for my screen.
I am currently using Gravity Screen app which is great to use. But i have one doubt, using proximity sensor for prolonged period will it damage them or there is no problem.
Or else are there any other app that will do the job of power button without using the proximity sensor.
Thanks in advance for your help
You could try Greenify, and add a short-cut which will greenify-and-sleep (turn off) your phone
turn off is not a problem how to wake up the phone without using power button

Use xposed and any xposed module. U can turn ur display on while pressing volume up or down button. I think gravity box have this feature..
And also using a modded SystemUI with 5 Button navigation bar or Invisible power button will give u access to power menu..

Download Power toggles from playstore. It has some good features that access to Power Button. No root needed. But for turn display on without root no idea mate

Using proximity sensor won't damage your device, but I think that gravityscreen prevents phone to going to sleep mode.
If you have root you can use xposed modules to set volume buttons to wake up your device.
[edit] I've just read that you don't want to mod your device. So you have to keep to gravityscreen.
