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.....

Well, you know what I mean.

Beyond any doubt a very useful app, would hate to have to pay twice for it. After all, we're not talking about the gn & the sgs3; we're talking about two nexii..

Tested the free version on Aokp Jan 13 build. Not working with morfics trinity kernel which is based off AOSP. Would a log assist?

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).

So you are the person on reddit spreading your inspiration.... Hmmmm

LOL. I think you can easily go into my user history both on here and on reddit, if you think I'm shilling for him or something. I used his app back on my Galaxy Nexus and I loved it. I just get mad when people expect like they deserve a new version of the app, like they're entitled to it in some way.

Edit: just wanted to add this doesn't work on Motley's b14 kernel for those wondering.

(Thanks by accident there, I strongly disagree with you..)

What are you on about?? Where did you read that anyone in this thread expected or demanded anything? People, seriously, please..

Doesn't faux already have slide 2 wake? I'm not sure if this is even working.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Complely different implementation. Faux uses showp's sweep2wake, which is built into the kernel when compiled. PGM allows you to use it much more universally on more kernels, as it uses a module instead, which doesnt need to be compiled into the kernel. Essentially, all the kernel devs can work on kernels, and slide2wake is mantained via the module and the app. Works quite well that way, as it did for the galaxy nexus

Can someone please test it on stock to make sure it's working on stock or if it's some problem with app?

    ________________ FAQ
    1. 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.

    2. 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)

    3. 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

    4. 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 ;)

    5. if I want to marry you where can I find you?
      Oh... this question meant to go somewhere else ;P And I'm taken.

    I am working on a few things at the same time. First is a new version of touchcontrol (and I mean a maaaajor upgrade). Second is the standby-drain problem and I'm gradually getting to know where it lies :) But it takes time to track because I have to wait a few hours to see if I am going in the right direction. Consider you are walking in the night with a walkie-talkie and can't see a thing. And someone tells you each 5 hours that you either should go left or right :) That's why it's taking so much time.

    NEW VERSION - 1.6g

    This time I've fixed latest franco nightly support as well as added Air kernel support. Please beware v1.6f was posted on play store for a few minutes but it had a bug in it! So wait for 1.6g
