Hello everyone. Not sure if somebody using this to wake up your OB but it's great for me as I don't like to press a power every time.
You do not need a root for it.
I've just updated my new LG Optimus Black to official ICS 4.0.4 (30b-EUR-XX) Great tutorial here http://getin.in/index.php?option=co...l-android-4-0-ics-rom-update&catid=86:gadgets
Go to settings->Lock screen->None, and now you can use any hardware button to turn screen on.
I've got widgetsoid app from market (my favorite one for power toggle widget) and widget "lockscreen" on my homescreen to turn screen off.
Couldn't find any better way to save my power button and wake it up
This is great for me. Because my powerbutton is getting a little bit broken because of pressing it to Much.

Yep. There's a tutorial how to change the G button function. And I think this is the best function for this button

I think nthknd means [vol-] + [power] - because [vol+] + [power] performs a softreset
(havn't tested the ICS-screenshot-feature yet - because I'm using Screenshot ER Lite since a long time - and I'm happy with it...)
My bad your very right volume down plus power key at the same time will give you a screen shot.. Sorry for the confusion... Hope that helps thanks bud for the correction I hate giving out incorrect information.

The Lite (free) version of the app works great. I have it running on boot and don't really see a reason to turn it off as it hardly drains any battery. I prefer the app instead of having to use the hardware buttons every time I want to do a screenshot, but that's mainly because I'm paranoid about the power/volume button getting used so much that they actually stop working

I'm using the free app with the widget to turn it on/off if needed (and then take a screenshot with the popup-menu and a delay of 15s).

Not an app but read this thread:

I also want that feature. For practical reason, what we really need are just the Sleep and Wake functionality because they are the ones that are often needed to be reached by the finger. Full power ON and OFF are less frequent so i dont mind them stay on the original button.

Can the hardware buttons like back, menu, home , etc...can wear out if we use them more.... or using button saviour is a good idea. And anyone else is using button saviour app.
Is there someone out there who is having this problem?
And is there other app which is same as bitton saviour.

Or if your finger is in pain when you put it under more pressure than touching screen. :angel:
But using the Button Saviour we can save the home button a few, don't you think?
I have tried to use Button Saviour one time, but i hate it. I hate the virtual button on the side of screen, so i searched another way to save home button and i found the app "Home Button" like free on market (link below). This app runs like a ongoing on the notification bar. So if we need to go to home screen, just roll down the notification bar and click on the app. The best part, the app don't run on backgroud, so no RAM usage! It only run when we click on, and than it close immediately.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...FtYnJvLmFuZHJvaWQuaG9tZWJ1dHRvbnNob3J0Y3V0Il0.
A couple of days ago I asked in the Q&A forum if it was possible to disable your physical back home and menu buttons and enable the on screen buttons like on the nexus 4. A guy named: UncleRipper helped me by telling me how to do it, so I want to share it with you guys. But all props to UncleRipper! For an example of how it looks on my phone see the photo below.
So what we want to do is enable the on screen buttons, disable the physical buttons, and stop them from lighting up everytime you touch the screen. I know you can disable this in the settings if you're on lg's software, but I am running cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly.
So first enable the on screen buttons:
open a file manager with root ( Solid Explorer or Root Explorer), go to /system and open build.prop (backup it!!):thumbup:
add this line at the end of the file build.prop:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
restart your phone.
Now you got the on screen buttons, you want to disable the physical buttons:
Use "button remapper" (search it on google cause isn't on play store) and assign "focus" to home, back and menu buttons.
The app is simple to use and the values to change are last in the list.
After the physical buttons are disabled you want to stop them from lighting up when you touch the sceen:
Prerequisites:
Root
SManager (play store)
SManager widget (play store)
Your phone
this script: https://www.dropbox.com/s/iz6t5eql0w...tkeyscript.zip
First install the app SManager and accept the SU request.
Use a root file browser and move the script from the SD Card your system/etc/init.d folder
Go into SManager and locate the 2 scripts. Click on them and tap the little star button in the top left to make them a favorite. And click the little SU icon while your at it! (optional: click also on run on boot the gear near "su" command)
Add the widget to your home screen, run the script and turn off the display and then turn it back on.
If the physical buttons wernt visible id do this. But i find LMT launcher works great for when a can be bothered doing hand gymnastics to push the back button.

Yep, if the physical buttons went off, it would be good. Could You make it working? ;D
The physical buttons are disabled and they don't light up anymore, so you can't really see them anymore unless you take a really hard look. But hey, it's your choice rather to use it or not! I'm just saying it's possible ;D

Why on screen button? If your device have the physical key so use it.also on screen button takes space in screen.

Couldn't agree more!
I seem to be having trouble with button remapper. The only option that I'm getting is for the power button and can't seem to access the home, menu, and back keys for some reason. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Open /system/usr/keylayout/touch_dev.kl and remove/comment three lines from the almost end of the file (those with VIRTUAL word). Works, at least on PAC 23.0/CM10.1, not sure if in stock rom will also work. Then use the script from OP to disable lights (I'll try to find simplier way to do it all).
And of course add this:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
at the end of /system/build.prop
+1 thank you I got it all working now.

Same as me. That's why I have to use volume key to wake always. I think it's just a hardware problem.

U can't. So be gentle to that button. At least, use some screen lock widget.
EDIT: turning off u can use some shutdown widget.
