swipe Bottom 4 keys to unlock?

---

Is there a way to make that work? you would just swipe from left to right or vice versa, the settings to search button, or backwards to unlock. Its a gesture method that I remember from my sisters HP laptop. She could swipe across all the capacitive shortcut keys at the top of the keyboard when the pc was off, and viola it would instantly turn on or start back up from sleep mode.

Thanks for suggestions!

Sweet idea! Not sure if it can be implemented...but it can be looked into!

Not sure if u mean unlocking after screen is turned on or unlocking from screen off state.

Activating this mode right from screen off state would mean power always being supplied to the touch sensitive keys, even in deep sleep mode, and result would be battery drain.

This might be a good idea after power is pressed and phone is out of sleep mode.

The lights can be constantly on and the battery drain is still irrelevant.

As for the OP, you can have the menu key unlock the phone.

old post but what i meant was to have it wake the phone and also unlock it to the home screen.

u should be able to have the bottom four buttons active all the time but with the lights off. also hitting any one or two buttons would do nothing. u would have to swipe all four to unlock and wake. or vice versa.

That'd be pretty cool but is there that much access to the hardware end to allow us to control what those buttons do?

Not 100% sure about that but I do know that there was someone who was able to unlock with just touching one button. I think its doable.

There is an App called buttonremapper by beansoft here on xda. Has a version for sgs variants. I tried it and set my search button to power my screen on and off, but only puts the screen in an off state. Didn't wake my phone up.
