Nice run down Bro but they have apps for that ;)
 
Testing now....
Did not work
Erased WAKES

Must you delete the period after Vol up/down?

removed period...still didnt work.
 
Tried it with the one you provided but didn't work, i realized the permissions in yours were different from the regular one so i changed them To be just like the regular one and then rebooted again but nothing.
 
Is there a way to use volume rockers to control music like on CM7/CM9/10? (Hold Up Vol to go to next track, Vol Down to the prevuous or repeat if you don't know)
 
unfortunatly this didn't work on ics. The file does not exist. Editing all other tk files in this folder by adding WAKE and removing _DROPPED didnt work either :(

To turn on the screen with the volume buttons instead of the power button. Don't know why, but some members wanted to be able to do this.

Why turning the screen with the volume buttons?

Because we all miss an effective SIMPLE end call button...like the ones on any old cell phone before android existed.

The Power button allows to end a phone call easily...BUT doing so creates many problems (say for example...during a phone call you need to send a file )...

In order to wake up the screen... the power button needs to be pressed but if you do...the phone call will end. That's why it's important to find an alternative button.
