anyone have a mod for optical sensor button ? i saw some post for other device and i tested on my phone and it went into a boot loop. this will be a nice mod since the power button is on the top right side of the phone and is kinda hard to press.

That doesn't work for everyone, so a more permanent solution will have to be devised.
i've done this mod that exact same way on my aria with 4 different roms with no issues at all every time.

you really just need to save the qwerty.kl file and push it to the phone. reboot into recovery, go to the partitions menu, mount the system partition, push the file via adb, reboot your phone and voila.

Please take a moment to review the forum rules with regards to searching existing threads prior to creating a new one, and also regarding the proper sections to post in. Moving to General as this is not a Development thread.

oh my gosh that seems painfully complicated considering the simplicity of the issue. that's kinda funny really

I've done that. The qwerty.kl method just simply isn't working for some people.

This worked for me

Couldn't figure out how to add attachments to this post, and it won't let me add an external link since it's a new forum account. google ojwake-signed.zip or something.

Steps: Load file to SD card, boot in to recovery mode, install zip, locate this zip on flash card, reboot.
(ojwake-signed.zip)
Don't remember where i got this, but kudos to that guy!

Just to make it even easier on you

EDIT-Short Version...Download file from link above
-:Have Clockwork Recovery Installed and know how to use ADB:-
-DOWNLOAD ATTACHED to linked post qwerty.kl (may need 7zip to extract file from archive...)
-BOOT into CLOCKWORK recovery with NO USB PLUGGED INto phone!!!
-PARTITIONS>MOUNT /SYSTEM
-adb push qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout|adb reboot

As far as I know, this ridiculously simply method of pushing qwerty.kl has worked for everyone except the few that didn't boot into clockwork correctly, once they booted into clockwork correctly it then worked for them.

I updated the instructions to be crystal clear for all you noobs. If pushing a file to your android device is too painfully complicated for you, I suggest you read/search more and figure out what you are actually doing.

Neverwhere10's steps are just as painfully complicated, but at least he is providing some constructive input.

Thanks!

Worthless thread is worthless.

There is also a setting in one of the menus if you are using any of attn1's cm roms for this same thing. I currently have my aria set this way and I am using cm008 as of right now.

If you have not already seen it, or if an application is an acceptable solution, widgetlocker is a nifty program.
