Trackball Wake and Trackball Skip for the N1

[ggrant3876]

I have installed this on my phone and it works as advertised.

[MOD] TrackballWake [v0.1] and TrackballSkip [v0.1]
I have created 2 new mods that I have added on to CyanogenMod 5.0.4.1.

I would first like to thank those that have helped me along the way. Thanks ChainsDD for helping me realize Android development isn't that hard. Thanks Cyanogen for the awesome roms and for the inspiration to innovate. Love your cool features. And lastly thanks to all the other devs for the great mods (optedOblivion and arctu to name a few)

Alright on to the details.

The mod has options to turn them on or off, but they cannot be used together. This is by design because if you are skipping songs and the screen wakes up then you are wasting battery and taking events away from the lock screen. (May change this later if you guys want)

1st Mod: (TrackballWake)
- Allows the user to wake the screen using the trackball (No extra apps its built-in to OS)
- Option is under the System Settings -> Sound & Display -> Trackball Settings -> Trackball wakes screen
- Option is off by default

2nd Mod: (TrackballSkip)
- Allows the user to skip to the next song if music is playing and the screen is off.
- This is done by double-tapping the trackball while the screen is off.
- A double-tap is two consecutive presses within about half a second.
- Option is under Music App -> Settings -> Use trackball to skip
- Option is off by default

Install:
- Simple update.zip so flash from recovery

Again, note for now you cannot use these two mods together (and TrackballWake takes precedence)

Will upload source to github later. Hope to get this into CM-5.0 if people like it.

SWEET!!!!
This trackball skip is going to be very useful

Would it be possible to tripple click to go to previous song?

I'm sure there will be updates to it. Cyan said he would like it in his build.

Excellent.. so I download your file and flash it. I don't need to mess with or change my cyan install. Just add yours to it?

I'm new to root n flashing. Is it simple? I just add it in RA recovery

Yes, you just flash it like a rom. There's one with white script and one with black. I had to redo my transparent power widget, no big deal. Use either the white with success or the bottom one, black, with success. To get either one to work you will have to go into settings and check on or the other, as of now they don't work together. It's not mine, I just found it.

best mod since 360 rotation lol

[ggrant3876]

Yeah, it will really be good when they both work at the same time. Cyan said he would like to include this in his rom. I like this one too.

All these great mods happy that these will be coming to CM builds in the future... only makes sense.

I'm really new to this and I'm not sure how to work it?
