Is There A Way To Auto-power On The Phone

I want to do a custom Timer app. I want it can start up and shutdown. I searched and found that starting it up needs root rights. Can anyone give me some clue to finish this? Edi

Solution 1:

I highly doubt you can do this.

Unless you make a very very weird and probably magical hack in the android kernel. Look at main.c in /kernel/power/

Well since I've posted an answer, here are some resources about android's power management features:

• Linux Kernel and Android Suspend/Resume
• Power Mgmt from the android kernel
