sorry. i'll try to explain better.
>What exactly did you do?
I tried to enable s2s only via trickster mod and it kept automatically switch it to either off or s2w+s2s. so i tried to set it manually using terminal.
>What were you trying to achieve?
I wanted the s2s option enabled, with no s2w, instead using dt2w.
>What happened instead?
After i manually set s2s only the device would successfully s2s. When trying to s2w the screen wouldn't turn on, which is correct because it was disabled. But it seems as though the lock screen still reacted to my touches and when i did actually wake the screen it would go to whatever shortcut i had swiped to.
so, swipe left, screen doesn't wake = good. wake screen using any other method, left lock screen shortcut (dialer) is what i unlock to. so even though the screen didnt wake with s2w it seems like device was still registering my touches and launched the app without waking the screen.
You successfully circumvented s2s. Congrats.
If you take a look at KControl, the s2s checkbox is called "Sweep2Sleep only" and KControl will automagically enable Sweep2Wake if you tick that checkbox. This is intended. Because for something to only work for sleep, you have to enable the whole deal.
So: Sweep2Wake enables wake & sleep, since that is the common understanding for what that term does. "Sweep2Sleep only" will override Sweep2Wake and only allow S2S.
Hence you will need to echo a 1 to both, Sweep2Wake and Sweep2Sleep only.
(or use KControl, or Trickster, which behaves correctly)
