[Q] Volume Wake Mod and TMo JB Stock UVMC6 Editing android.policy.jar?

[Joe USer]

Has anyone come up with a way to add the volume wake mod to the stock TMo JB ROM (UVMC6 rooted)?

I've tried following a few guides on how to add it, but honestly, I'm not that great when it comes to Android mods and I don't think the guides were written with JB in mind.

(My power button is on its way out, hoping volume wake would let me extend its life.)

Thanks.

Does anyone have a guide on how to edit the android.policy.jar for this ROM or does anyone already have one edited for volume wake?

also found this Volume Wakeup

This volume wakeup guide was adapted from these two guides: http://www.jordanhotmann.com/2011/08...tation-of.html and http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=18226553

In this guide I will show you how to modify your system files to allow waking up your phone with the volume keys instead of just the power key. This will prolong the life of the power key.

Requirements

This mod requires an edit to a jar file (Java archived file), specifically the file "/system/framework/android.policy.jar." To do this we need some tools that will disassemble the jar or apk file so we can edit the source code. After that we need to assemble it back and overwrite the original file(s).

Download the 4 files located here (smali-1.3.2.jar, baksmali-1.3.2.jar, baksmali, and smali): http://code.google.com/p/smali/downloads/list

Put the 4 files in a folder which is included in your path. For example, I placed the files in my home directory under a folder called bin (~/bin). Then in my ".bashrc" file I have this call at the end of the script:

PATH=~/bin:$PATH

This allows you to make calls to "baksmali" and "smali" in any directory.

Thanks! I didn't see the first one before, I'll give that a try now.

The second one I've tried, but the guide isn't complete and the other links weren't much help.

Tried the first mod, unfortunately it didn't work. Thanks for the help though, that first thread might be a good starting point for me.

Got it!

Solved it.

Install the rooted stock ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226860 and the volume mod is available in that thread.

Thank you Krazierokz, you got me on the right track to finding it.
