Recovery - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys,
I was just thinking about a recovery menu, to install roms, update.zip etc.
But now i noticed there are no physical buttons to select something.
We can go only up and down with the volume buttons, but we cannot select anything?
Correct me if I'm wrong.

The selection is made with power button ;-)

Um you can post this in the general section.

Would be holding the power button correct me if I'm wrong but there's applications from the marketplace that could force u into recovery such as quickboot and rom manager

Your post makes absolutely no sense. Could be a couple possibilites here. Are you talking about holding the power button and volume buttons down to get into recovery? Are you asking if ROM Manager and Quickboot can get you into recovery? I have no clue to what you are asking or trying to say. If your talking about how to get into recovery that wasn't what the OP wanted to know. He wanted to know how to make a selection once you are in recovery.
To the OP CWM Recovery's code can be written to use whatever buttons are available. Once the phone drops a custom recovery will be written for it in a matter of minutes if it hasn't been done already. Same with superuser.

Actual development only, you're posting in the wrong forum

He is referring to the fact that the power button acts as the selection button.
Recovery is accessed like the Nexus S, by powering on the device using Volume Up+Power. Options are navigated via volume up/down and selected using the power button. To go back, one has to scroll to the bottom of the list where the last option is back and select that using the power button. Nothing too complicated about it.

how is this phone any different than all the other android phones with capacitive buttons on the bottom? all other android phones cannot use the capacitive buttons in recovery, so i dont see how this one is different. like the atrix, you use vol up/down, power button, and then back is at the bottom of the list.
there's not a single thing different about the galaxy nexus with respect to this.

That's not true. Many models have a functioning 'back' capacitive button in recovery. The G2/DZ being one of them.

droid 1 is just annoying using the keyboard but the recovery is in portrait. Bleh. One great thing about the G2 is using the trackpad for recovery.

Don't forget that recovery is just a very slimmed down version of Android. If they wanted to, they could implement on-screen buttons etc. just like capacitive buttons can currently be used if implemented.

why not have the Team Win Recovery 2.0 on it?

Phones like the SGS2 have 3 buttons - the volume buttons, home and power button. That lets the power button function as a permanent back button, with the home button taking the role of 'select'. Recovery can function in both 3 button and 2 button modes, with the power buttons function changing respectively. Nothing overly complicated.

The atrix can use all the buttons in recovery. Im sure the button issue is a non issue. It will be software or the typical volume and power hardware interface.
I voided my warranty and your nexus.

Fascinate could use all four capacitive buttons which saves wear and tear on the physical buttons.

Idk where it is at in the samsung devices but usually you can change the key layout by editing user-key layout you can also remap the search button to any app.

i can see how that would be useful but i couldn't find it and moreover, i think when the phone goes into sleep-mode, those soft keys are disabled. i guess i am looking for a way to either wake the phone with the volume keys - or - somehow enable those soft buttons so i can hit the home one and wake up my phone.

You would have to give the keys a set wake option. I can do it for htc devices but i don't know much about samsung devices. You would want a volume rocker wake I'm guessing or menu and back wake right. You can also use an app called widget locker it enables you to wake the device from volume rocker etc.
thanks again for the thoughts.
i think i'll patiently wait a few weeks for people smarter than me to start writing apps specific to this phone.
have a great day!
I think this will come in handy since some of us don't want to wear out the power button but be able to use both. The only problem I might see using the volume button is when you are listening to something with your headphones. Would pressing the volume button be changing the volume or waking the phone? hahaha..i'm sure there will be options.
The latest version of Juggernaut has that as an option, if you're into flashing custom roms.

That is correct, Juggernaut 2.6 has this feature and flashing is pretty simple.
i use this option on Juggernaut too. its great cuz i cant always reach the power button even tho i have huge hands.
which ROM except Juggernaut has this option, I mean waking phone up by sound button?
Darkside's Dewizzed does. and it's a GREAT rom.
I actually hate the 'feature'. I listen to music lots with my phone, and having to double tap the volume rocker to adjust volume sucks, and then it turns on the screen. Since half the time it's in my pocket and i'm pushing buttons through that... long story short i've pocket texted a couple times.
/rant.
Yes, and you can do this without rooting and without installing a custom rom by using the application widget locker, which has an option to wake the phone using the volume keys. Otherwise several roms support this such as the Darkside Dewizzed rom.
Epic bump, but Josh from mobile tech videos gave my phone a solution like this when my phone had an internal shortage. He set the volume+ button as the wake button and it did involve the key layout as someone in this thread had said earlier. Ill be back with a link to an xda thread that had the same idea but for a different device.
I bump this because even though he changed the button layout, I completely forgot about it and flashed a different rom :S now I seek a solution.

[solved] turn on the screen from black

Hi there guys,
i want to ask u if u know a way to remap physical key on galaxy nexus or another way to turn on from "standby" the cell without always pressing the power button...
i can think that fast it will be insible to touch after long use or continuisly press
thanks for your answer and tips about it
I'm not entirely sure what your asking. There are only 3 physical keys on the device and one of them needs to be used as the power button. If you mean turning the screen on by pressing the screen, this wouldn't make much sense as the screen needs to be on to detect touch.
only 2 physical keys...
1)power on/off button
2)volume
when the screen is black i can turn it on only by pressing the power button, i'm looking for another way to turn the screen on, ex. shacking the phone, pressing the screen, pressing volume key or etc...
The volume consists of 2 physical buttons...
All sensors are off by default when the screen is off. Turning these on would drain your battery dramatically.
If you were to change your power on button to one of your volume keys, what would be the point? You'd just lose the ability to change your volume easily and have a useless power button.
remap the volume key was just an example...
the matter is: is there any other way to turn on the screen without press the power button? with the constantly and massive use of it, it will become fragile and easy to break out.
i use volume up/down and power on /off randomly, all are enabled to wake up the device on aokp milestone 4. i think they may have designed the buttons to survive for quite some time since there is only 1 regular button for the job. other buttons on other phones dont just die and break out do they?
edit: by enabled i meant it is possible to select them as usable. stock doesnt have it afaik (didnt have stock long enough to find out)

no, its an option in the Rom Controls under the lockscreen options menu.
Glados kernel has a touch wake option. You can set it for any length of time after the screen goes off. This will also prevent your phone from going into deep sleep so it can affect your battery.

yes and this is the problem, my experience with other phones with "one function key" usually they break out "easily"
ok so from what u all wrote guys my only option is to root the phone and install a new rom with that "touch screen option"
can u indicate to me better where i can find the roms you are talking about? i'll appreciate it a lot

Disable Volume Wake Galaxy Nexus 4.0.4 Leaked ROM

Ever since I've flashed the leaked "stock" 4.0.4 ROM the volume buttons will wake the screen as well as the power button. (I'm told stock doesn't do this so someone has been playing around....?) I don't recall which 4.0.4 ROM I downloaded but regardless - if your Nexus does this and you don't like it, here is how to fix it.
Navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/ with Root Explorer or such and mount as read/write.
Make a backup of tuna-gpio-keypad.kl -- just in case
Then open tuna-gpio-keypad.kl in a text editor.
You will see 3 values after all of the header text information:
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 116 POWER WAKE
Delete the "WAKE" from the buttons you wish NOT to have wake the phone.
Save the file and restart.
FINALLY! No more accidental unlocking. I'm not sure why one would want the volume keys to unlock the phone when the power button does already but to each their own.
Consequently... if you wanted your stock phone to wake on volume you could maybe open the file and add in the "WAKE" - or the whole lines if they aren't already there. No guarantees on that though. Also no guarantees on this either - of course.
Why would anyone want that? Because its less wear and tear on the power button. I almost always only used the volume for audio. So allowing it to wake the device is allowing me to use volume and power buttons more evenly.

That doesn't happen on stock anyway, even if leaked. Not unless someone enabled it before you flashed it.

The big problem for me is I use Tasker to automatically switch to different volume modes based on where I am. Having such a big button on one side seems to almost daily get triggered and then my ringer isn't where I want it or I miss calls/texts because it got on silent (one volume press down from vibrate). I've also done weird things accidentally because I'll reach in my pocket and touch a volume button and as I'm pulling it out things get touched on the screen.
I should probably also mention I'm not using a lock screen - that's probably also part of what makes it such a pain having it accidentally pressed.
Again, to each their own. I found it annoying for my situation so I'm sure someone else will as well and will appreciate the tutorial.

Right. Which is why I'm wondering why a "stock" 4.0.4 ROM had this messed with.... I wish I remembered which ROM it was because I think it was mis-labeled... lol
Must have been
I've heard this a couple times, but I flashed my wife's phone with IMM30B (the ota, not a rom) when it leaked, and it has never existed this behavior.
Mah-ha! Googled the kernel version and found it.

Here's another reason. The pogo pins are on the same side as the power button. So when the phone is in the horizontal desktop dock you can't unlock the phone. At least not with anything less than 4.0.4 and I'm not sure how they do it because I don't have it yet. It may very well be with that change to the power button. That may be why they did it in 4.0.4.

Doubt it as the method in 4.0.4 doesn't work with slide unlock. It only works when the os is not locked.
So the volume only wakes the screen if not locked. If it is locked, it does not work.
I can confirm that the volume buttons wake the device on a 100% stock Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I checked the file and sure enough, both buttons on the volume rocker have WAKE next to them. Kind of annoying when the phone constantly wakes throughout the day due to my slightly-snug case. I was going to wait and see how long I could go before rooting, but this may just be a deal breaker.
so i can add the volume wake in a stock rom by entering those lines?
edit: those lines are there.. but volume doesnt wake

I have my device set to lock with a pattern, if that's what you mean. I press the power button to lock the device and turn the screen off, then when I press either button on the volume rocker, the phone's screen turns right back on and prompts me to enter the pattern, just as pressing the power button would.
Huh...Sprint must have changed the behavior, because AOSP 4.0.4 only works that way if it is not locked.

They must have; the only reason I can think of would be, as I believe someone else mentioned in the thread, the upcoming (current?) availability of an official dock would mean that the phone can't be woken up without the volume keys, unless you physically remove it from the dock, press the power button, then re-dock it.
The pros way outweigh the cons with the Galaxy Nexus. Especially if your not rooting. Because you could easily change the volume wake feature.
You go to another phone because you don't want to root and change a feature-and then get a phone with “skin" over ICS? You also get all kinds of crapware from the manufacturer and carrier. Again, the GN stock is still a better choice than a lot of other devices.

I see. With you NOT using the lock screen it makes sense for not using the volume wake feature. I do use the lock screen. It feels great having all these options with our Android devices.

Oh for sure. I'm by no means saying that I'm turning in my Galaxy Nexus because a button does something that I don't want it to do. Eventually I'll root it and just edit the file to suit my needs.
I completely agree that the pros outweigh the cons on the GN. Hell, I stuck with a Samsung Moment for two and a half years, despite all of its craptastic bugs, issues, and painful nuances.
I was merely pointing out that this is my biggest gripe with the phone thus far, and given that it's a pretty minor one, I'd say we're all doing pretty well with the device.

[Q] Clockworkmod Recovery Hangs Up??

I flashed clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.0 on my Incredible using Unrevoked 3.22. When I boot into recovery, I can use the volume keys to move up and down, but when I use the power button to select an option, it shows the Rom Manager icon and nothing else. Is it getting hung up? This is the third recovery I have tried, as the rest only gave me a black screen with white lines on each side (something to do with being one of the two screen types that Incredibles came with). Please help!
Press the optical button to make selections. Power button serves as a back button in CWM.

[Q] Root HTC desire HD without volume key

I have searched everywhere for this and cannot find an answer so I'm sorry in advance if I have missed it somewhere. I am just bought a htc desire hd off a friend with the intention of rooting it but didn't realise the volume keys were broken. I have tried to reboot it into recovery via ADB but it gets stuck on the screen with the phone and a red exclamation mark in a triangle. I have read on other posts that this happens when you go into recovery and you press power and volume up.
Obviously I cannot use volume up so is there anyway to get around this or to avoid the screen in the first place? Or is there another way to root I'm missing where I don't need the volume keys? Even if I get into recovery mode I cannot change the options without the volume buttons.
Any help is appreciated.

I would strongly, strongly advise getting your volume keys replaced and/or fixed before attempting to root. You can get very very stuck trying to root without working volume keys.
I actually had this problem. Wanted to use aahk and I couldn't downgrade ruu because my volume up button doesn't work. I ended up pulling off the volume rocker. Then I used a screwdriver to press the button and it luckily worked. If you can do that, that could be something you could do. But be very careful when removing the rocker or you could break it. Mine broke. But I have a otter box so its all good. Also, if you're going to get a recovery, I highly recommend getting a touch recovery like twrp or 4 ext so you don't have to use the volume buttons in recovery.
Thanks for the replied. Only paid £20 for it so not massively bothered it I break it. I've tried to do that with the volume but I don't think it's the rocker thats broken I think it's the part inside and wouldn't know how to replace it! Just thought there may be some way to get around using volume keys altogether haha
Anyone got any other ideas?

check ebay and buy a replacement volume key. They are very cheap and there are videos on youtube describing how to remove and replace it.

It's not actually the key, I've pulled the inside volume chip out (the bit behind the button which gets pressed) and pressed them and it still doesn't change the volume so I think it must be some sort of problem with the chip or the wires. I don't really know what that's called to search for on ebay haha
I am in pretty much the exact same Sh*t at the moment. However I have something even more problematic, I lost the volume rocker ages ago and I am still trying to work out whether the button itself is dead or if I am simply pressing this volume chip incorrectly. :/

If you use the end of a paperclip and try and press where the rocker was you should feel a little click as you press it in meaning it should still work. I do this with one of my Desire HD's.
