You have MCE set to softpoweroff instead of powerkeymenu? Not sure how well ASUI would work if the power button always blanks the screen.

@ tso, caimanjosh
When the screen is unlocked does power+dpad center perform whatever lock action you have set? I thought we had the that part working which would mean ASUI has the correct keycode for dpad center and should be able to unlock the screen with it as well. If you get the "press dpad center" notification when pressing hardware buttons it means the keys are unlocked, you just aren't pressing the correct key.

Could both of you try installing the debug binary, produce the problem and send me the log?
