________________ SCREENSHOTS

________________ FAQ

will it work on kernel X
It is made to work on stock kernel. It might work on kernels which are close to stock. I will however try to find a way to make it as compatible as possible. I'm going to assume that you can safely try this mod on your kernel (but don't enable set-on-boot) worst case scenario is a reboot.
does this consume battery
Short answer - Maybe.
Long answer - this might bring some drain, some users report quite a big battery drain some not, I will address this issue in some time. Check yourself how much an issue it is for you. Also this change from device to device so there is no short answer (look up)
will it break my touchscreen
Short answer - No
Long answer - Digitizer is not mechanical so it shouldn't break. The same mod works for more then 2 years on my Galaxy Nexus and it never lost a bit of it's responsiveness
why do I have to pay
Why did you pay for your phone? You did save a few bucks on the phone which was cheap. Now is your chance to make those savings worthy
if I want to marry you where can I find you?
Oh... this question meant to go somewhere else ;P And I'm taken.

REALTIME MODULE REQUESTS STATS PER KERNEL ____________
Quick info about stats - it shows how much requests I'm getting for each kernel. So even if there is no module for that kernel it will be accounted as request. Also only one request per user per day is accounted. These stats are from last 7 days.

Per-Device stats

Nexus 4

Long story:
When you press download at the module loader prompt I am actually getting info about your kernel. This is added to the stats if haven't requested during last 24 hours.

I purchased Photoshop for my PC, was gutted I had to buy it from my Macbook as well.

Why not just update the pgm app that most of us already bought?

if it's an entirely new implementation, I understand the new app. If it's similar to the galaxy nexus implementation, I would agree...an update to the app would be nice.

Either way, I'm thrilled to have s2w on a kernel independent basis

Have you bought a kernel app (trinity, Franco, glados) for the gn? Did you have to re-buy for the n4? Your tapatalk or xda app, you buy them for every phone..?

Was the question so invalid? Is the difference between the gn & the n4 the same as your pc & your MacBook..?

Your logic breaks bones..

I would just like to say that it does not work on cm10.1 nightly 1-12-13 w/ Franco 32 kernel (probably because of kernel). I'm not complaining since op clearly says might not work on 3rd party kernels but would just like to inform others who have similar setup.

Haha, can't argue with that one. The kernel app is applicable here, but not tapatalk or xda. The forums apps work identically on any device, you actually pay for the tablet version even after you own the phone version. The kernel companion apps are almost useless alone but are reliant on custom kernels usually by the same developer, which is where the majority of the development time goes and is unique for each device. With that being said, that exact fact makes the kernel apps an awesome deal.

Even with all the above, this us an instant buy for me. I know how much work hours into this type of modification. I'll gladly pay for the ability to use slide2wake on any kernel.....

Guys, we don't know how much work he put into this. For all we know this could have taken a lot of hackery to get it done. It's his app and he's free to set the price to whatever he wants (though obviously nobody would buy it if it was like $15).
