[APP] Instant Screen Off (for rooted phones only)

I have make small app, which switching off screen.
Instant, without any waits or faking switching off by set brightness to zero.
It's simulate pressing of power button.
Maybe this one will be interest for somebody
root needed

Nice! I'd be more interested if you could do unlock via soft keys as we had in Hero , i.e. home and menu, as I find the power button is too recessed for easy access.
Not sure if softkeys would be too easy to trigger by mistake tho ??

There is a hack for this but the menu key etc on the hd are not active when the screen is locked so it doesn't work. I did it today but you have to press power then the keys become active and you can use menu etc to unlock. Pointless as you still need to use power button first. The hero's keys were hard buttons as is the desire. It worked great on the desire. Unless anyone knows a way to have them active while locked? My power buttons a nightmare as it's not very clicky and really recessed. My wife's hd power button is much easier to use. Anyone know a way to have the soft keys active all the time?

Thanks for this app, i was waiting for.
Power button isn't as practical as your app to power down the phone.
Thank you mate.

Very Nice.... I like it.
But can you please Chance the Icon for me?
Im not able to do this myself.
I would like something like that.
Back and white with a bit gray or shaded would be very nice

In technical terms,yes- it would circumvent the process of having to use one's digit to find aforementioned hard power button and then depress said button.

Lol, maybe I didn't want the technical version after all. Dumb it down so I can understand. I'm have it installed but I don't see it doing anything. I have an Evo. How does this work (explain normal).

Its just a app to lock the phone and turn the screen off. Not sure if it works on evo

Ok thanks buddy, Uninstalling.

Dunno if this is doable but have you seen the screen lock on the new nexus that was seen at recent web 2.0 summit. Its kinda like the effect you get when u turn off an old crt TV. Could you implement that instead of the current fade effect? Ta

here i send you the perfect icon for me.
I hope you can do this. This would be very great.
Can you make the white corners transparent?
If you cant please make it black...
Im looking forward to you work

Hello, thanks a lot. its look very very sexy.
The only problem i have is with the "More Icons Widget"
That shows me the old symbol.
I think thats not you Problem. So i will check that.
thanks!

Thank you exidler for this useful app. I am just wondering if you can make use of the accelerometer sensor to turn off the screen ( for example by putting the phone upside down) . Thanks again.

i also agree ! that would be a perfect app and since most people do not check their sms upside down it would also be extremely practical

CM9 G Button remap

hi, I open this thread to show you how to remap the G button, on the FOP rom it is assigned as a comma so it's totally useless, but all you have to do is using root explorer go to:
system\usr\keylayout
and modify the files "generic.kl" and "TWL4030_Keypad.kl" and search for "key 95".
On the "generic.kl" it will say something like insert comma, change that to one of this options:
APP_SWITCH it will make the g button open the recent apps
CAMERA well it's obvious it will open the camera
and on the "TWL4030_Keypad.kl" it will say "POWER WAKE_DROPPED", just erase that and type one of the options I said (you MUST assign the same option to BOTH files)
Hope it would be usefull ^^ I recomend using the button for the recent apps, since the camera can be accessed from the lockscreen and the camera isnt working right now
If you need to, I can make a CWM flashable zip to modify those 2 files, I didn't did that because this is way too easy to do manually...
Remember to mount R/w so you can edit the files
After doing that just reboot

You should mount r/w not r/o

My Power button is dead and i cannot turn on the phone manually. Ineed to use usb cable,enter the battery charging state and need to push the button frequently(hopefully it detect) till it reboot.Then i try to remap the power button to G button. still cannot on even at battery charging state... This phone is screwed.. wonder if anyone want to buy my phone.. haha..

My power button is not in the best condition too. First I remaped G button (key 95 POWER WAKE_DROPPED) and then I use SoftPower app to wake it because it even has sometimes problems to wake up with the remaped G button and I'm fine. OK that doesn't help when it's completly switched off but then it seems to work rather good and I nearly never switch it off anyway. I use AnReboot for some time, it is fast for reboot and good for getting in recovery.

Getting to the recovery is not the problem as i can use the adb command. The worst part is when i want to call someone urgently and the phone cannot wake the screen. So softpower app can help in these kind of situation? As when the phone is completely dead, there nothing we can do to turn it on as some people said that the power button is hardwire.

Yes SoftPower wakes my phone up all the time without any problem. I haven't even activatet the adminstrator, because it is only needed for turning the screen off and I use G button for that. (Need the search button for something else anyway.)
BTW if you remap the G button it even shows the power menu like you get it for long pressing power button (at least with some ROMs).

Thanks man, i will try that software. I just open this phone and found out that the usb port and the power button is integrated with each other. So, it's kinda hard to repair it.

Thanks.... I modify G Button as Camera and its working awesome on CM10..

And if I want both answering and ending a call with G button, how can I add that to the file?
Maybe for wake up and turn off the device too? I guess it's applicable for multiple actions, isn't it?

[MOD]Enabled soft keys/Disabled Cap buttons **7.29 update posted**

This mod enables onscreen soft keys (THANKS TO LEONARDOARAUJO for the modded framework-res) and disables all cap keys except for menu. cap keys still are illuminated, but home, back, and search are disabled as well as haptic feedback for the 3. as i cannot as of yet get a search key remap working i decided to try n make this.I kinda like it btr even tho i lose a lil real estate cuz soft keys are cool..tested and working fine.

Until the backlight params editing is backported to CM10, you might want to try Screen Filter. I used that app since CM9 to disable the backlights on the capacitive buttons. Cheers!
Edit: Scrap that. It seems that it doesn't work (yet) on CM10. I'll try searching for something else.

i left mine on cuz there are times and places i need to enter menu but the 3 dots aren't there. maybe leo can add menu to the soft keys, ill ask.

In what app(s) does that occur? I haven't checked every app on my phone, but it's all good so far. The 3 dots show up either next to the soft buttons or on the actionbar.

actually now tht im paying attn, i think its mainly from home screen using apex. i can set a shortcut but i jus kinda like having menu access rt there. works for me
edit: ur right..menu 3 dots thing is there anytime there is a menu to access, EXCEPT apex home screen. but sometimes its up on top. i thought about disabling menu but decided to keep it as its nice to have rt there, i guess for the same reason i like the search key to recents remap..more easily accessible.

By the way, if you want to use that button or after repairs you don't want wear & tear
Use Button Savior from Play Store.
Play Store: Button Savior Link
Or if you are using ICS+ ROM (like CM9/10 or custom ROM), enable softkeys. (look like nexus softkeys)

Good. But I still recommend you to use button savior.
It gives virtual buttons On-screen and protects your Hardware buttons.

easyHome for Samsung - touch home button instead of pressing

Hello together,
found an app for our device, called easyHome for Samsung. It let control your home button much more then even before (Without root).
You can just touch the home button to go home, or if you buy paid version, then you can unlock device without pressing. Or you can lock the device with holding the finger on home button without pressing. Cost not much 1.77€.
Free version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.easyhome
Paid version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.easyhome.pro
Google Plus Community
https://plus.google.com/communities/106296114061383426071

Just installed it. Working great so far. If it doesn't go screwy, I'll buy the paid version. Thanks!

I am sorry, i can't tell you. I am not the dev. I just found it. But here is G+ community where you can ask about it, and opt in beta.
It is not like i thought in pro version. It doesn't unlock phone if you use fingerprint, but dev is working hard, maybe he will get it fixed.

Hey. This app makes your home button as capacitive as back and recents button. You dont need to press it to go home. The paid version also has unlock and wake up feature with touching home button but u will be able to use fingerprint unlock if you wanna use the 'unlock feature'. Battery draining is nothing in this case i think. :good:

I understand the software is trying to make home button capacitive but this is not how it works right? I doesn't work if ur phone doesn't have finger print function. Eg note3. So imo how it works is the fingerprint sensor on all the time. Which might cause battery drain issue. My 2 cent

Dunno anything about the note 3 or others. I have edge plus and it works normal. Fingerprint sensor always works or not just never mind. Im getting almost 7h sot. I need capacitive home button on my device and I have then. Worth it eventhough causes draining.

i tried it then got the paid version then found out it drains your battery bad so i uninstalled it o well
