I created a little mod for Synergy Rom and now Beans Stock Rom, and Nosympathy Rom . Its simple....You press the volume button, up or down, and it wakes the phone. I love this mod because it is a lot easier for me to just press the volume button to wake the phone rather than using the home button or power button when i am holding it in my hand.



1. Place on sdcard
2. Make a nandroid
3. Reboot Recovery
4. Flash zip
5. Reboot.
6. enjoy


If anyone else wants this mod that isn't on synergy rom but is on a deodexed rom, i will try and try and make it for you just post your android.policy.jar which is in system/framework folder.




Update: i figured out how to get this mod working 100% of the time, even when the phone is in deep sleep state. The link below is for Synergy 1.5, Beans Build6 and NoSympathyRom

Update #2 - seems to not want to work sometimes in deep sleep state, although it is working more often then initially

Please hit the thanks button if you like :eek:

Whatever the lastest one is. I downloaded the rom a few hours ago and took out android.policy.jar and modified it. Same goes for all the other roms. Works with the latest builds as of tonight

what's the chance you can be the savior in the light for using the volume rockers to skip songs when the screen is off? I have been messing with it on and off for a few days and have gotten nowhere.

My wife and I are both using Nosympathy's latest deodexed rom with the latest stock kernel and radio. I put the volume rocker mod on both of our phones and at first it seemed to work great. Then after using it a while, I noticed that sometimes, especially after the phone sits for a while, the volume rocker will not wake the phone on the first press. Sometime it will take 2 or 3 or maybe 5 or 10 presses. Once you wake the phone it seems to work fine for a while as long as you are frequently using it. Is anyone else having the same problem? I'm not using any power saving options. The only other mod I am using is the 15 toggles.

Yeah sometimes if it is in a real deep sleep that can happen, especially if you have cpu sleep App, where is shuts down one of the processors. Do you have that app?

Nope. I have no power saving anything on my phone. The volume rocker wake used to work every time on the Verizon Nexus even with different kernels designed to sleep better for power savings. The S3 seems to wake if you tap the volume key several times quickly when it is being stubborn. I still love the mod but I hope it can be tweaked to be 100% reliable. Has anyone experianced this with other kernels or is it just the stock kernel?

No its not just the stock kernel because I am on imo's kernel. This mod is actually from my gnex. I changed the same smali code that I did on the gnex. I do remember that I had issues with it not working after deep sleep on some Rome but others it worked flawlessly. I will keep looking into it

Sometimes? that sucks, so it's hit and miss whether or not it wakes up from a volume key press? better than 50/50 i would hope?
It's the same way on Nosympathy. It works well if you have recently used your phone. It is hit and miss if it has sat for a while. It must have something to do with what stage of sleeping that the phone is into. Still better than nothing. I like it.

It's the same issue in aokp, if the phone is in a deep sleep from not being used for x period of time it doesn't seem to work. I. Still trying to figure out how to make it always work. As soon as I figure it out I will upload the package. Until then it just works when not in deep sleep.

Do you mean AOKP on the S3 or AOKP on the Galaxy Nexus? I used to use the AOKP rom on my Nexus and the volume wake worked flawlessly. I believe the phone would sleep properly too. I had amazing battery life.
