A way to use the scroll button to unlock the phone?

[Nephilim_80]

Sorry if this has already been asked but I was wondering if there is any way to get the scroll button to bring you to the lockscreen instead of having to tap the lock/off button on the top of the phone?

(mainly I just want to be able to tap the scroll button when the screen is black to bring up the lockscreen.)

**I don't want to remove the swipescreen, I only want to be able to press the optical scroll button to bring the phone out of sleep to the swipescreen.

I've looked around for this and haven't found it yet.

I have looked to and haven't found anything either

that sucks, there has got to be a way. I figure if you can use it as a button for the camera it should be possible.

Maybe after someone roots it.

Try Nolock in the market
It allows just that, you can either use the top button to un lock the inc or press the scroll button.
It works well.

I believe lockbot does that. Not a hundred percent sure.

Nolock does not do that, it just locks the screen on its own personal app when you click the icon or widget. There are no options are really anything benefitial to that app. Is it possible you meant a different app?

LockPro does.

Screen Mode Widget will allow you to unlock the phone with any of the physical buttons. But it is still a bit buggy on the Incredible.

LockPro does.

I looked up "Lockpro" it does not exist, there is a Lock Pro item with absolutely no description or screenshots, it sells for like $1.50 but there is no comments or reviews and nothing explaining what it is or does.

My bad. I had two different lock apps installed at one point ans one of them unlocked the phone to the homescreen with no need to swipe by hold ing the OTP for like 2 seconds..I thought it was no lock.

There is no app that does this and only this. I tried Lockbot and it does this but it ALSO will replace the default swipe to unlock screen. The app also forced closed and made me reboot the frakking phone so that POS isnt on the phone anymore

That totally sucks, you'd think they would come up with something so simple or have had it included on the phone already. I mainly just want to press the button to get to the unlock screen, I don't want it to remove the swipescreen.

i am sure an app will come soon enough. it probably doesnt even take 30 line of code to perform the function

i haven't seen anything like that. i've been using NOLOCK right from day one, but then again i don't like the swiping screen part so it works good for me.
