[MOD] Trackpad Wake - with Stock/CM ROM's [KERNEL] Updated baconbits[11/19/10]

---

Yet another Q&D MOD. Trackpad wake. If you're like me, I hate the placement of the power button. I have used minotauri's ad block MOD as a springboard for this. So, enjoy!

Requirements:
Root or Temp Root via VISIONary or equivalent
Busybox
Gscript (included in the zip)
*1.22.531.8 FW - Recommended

Instructions Updated:
Download gscript.zip below
Copy the package to the ROOT of you sdcard and extract it to gscript *very important!
There will now be a gscript folder on your SDcard.
Using a file manager Install Gscript.apk (inside /sdcard/gscript)
Exit your file manager
Open Gscript via app drawer
Press Menu
Add Script
Load File
Select vision-tp-wake
Ensure "Needs SU?" is checked
Save
Run Script
**The phone will then do a "Hot Restart", let it boot again et voila!
If you want to use baconbits kernel, download the zip below and flash via clockwork.

If you have Temp-Root:
This needs to be ran again after every reboot.

If you have Perm-Root:
Run this once, that's it.

*Note - I am a poor script writer.

**This will probably work for other newer HTC devices with trackpad too. I.e. Desire Z, MT4G, etc...

Change Log:

temp-root version:
initial release

perma-root & custom kernel version:
perma-root-tpwake-via-gscript-v.3 - compatible with baconbits now

cm-baconbits kernel with trackpad wake fix: 11/18/10
updated with trackpad wake kernel fix - credits to cyanogen for the commit
added 900mhz speed step
Download below

added/updated gscript zip: 11/19/10
will now create sdcard/gscript folder

***There is an incompatibility with cm's original baconbits. If you are using the stock kernel this will work fine. However, if you want to use baconbits, I have updated the kernel to now work with this mod. Download below.

Excuse this super NOOB question, but what exctly will this do?

Sorry, I'm still new to the Android market and the G2 is my first Android based phone but I'm learning on the fly!

hope @paul grabs this and spices it up and compiles it in an app some how, or directly into visionary. great work evil

It wakes (turns the screen on) via the trackpad, which is normally done by the power button. Press the power button, screen comes on. Same thing, except it uses the trackpad.

i think it's missing a file (in bold)

cp /sdcard/curcial-oj.kl /system/usr/keylayout/curcial-oj.kl
