I am looking for a way to map "long press hangup button as power on/off, 'cause I think this makes more sense when using the universal in laptop mode, you don't have to find your way to press the power button on the bottom.
I've tried AE button plus and no dice
Assign an app like "poweroff" to the hold button
I just searched for a freeware on pocketpcfreewares and found this. So, a little search on the web does not hurt

Hi
does anyone know how to remap keys, I would like to remap the green call button to list recntly used apps, the one that we get when we long press home key.
Really miss the alt-back key combination of blackberry.
i think a quick key to app switcher will make any device really faster

Press and hold the 'Home' button and it'll show you the list of the last 6 recently used apps.
thanks,
but i do know the long press home button, or press and hold home key.
I want to remap this function to the green call button instead.
so that i can get to the application switcher in one key stroke instead of pressing and holding
hello everyone, here is a mod which will let you use your search button as power button. this package is created for those who have broken power button
by applying this mod you can use the search button to lock your device or to get the power menu
as the search button is capacitive touch button you cannot use it to wake your screen but you can use your volume button to wake your screen
today in almost every custom rom there is a option for waking mobile by pressing volume key
download
Surely will save someone's broken power. I tried, it works, and I will include it in next version of my ROM.
Good use for useless button! Yay!
looking forward on your next release
This may not belong here, but I thought if anyone knew it would be you... Is there a way to re-map the menu button to pop up recents instead of menu, and then menu on long press?

sorry I can't do this due to lack of knowledge
On recent items - my long press Home works.
I know there is some button remapper thing but I'm pretty sure that's only for the newer phones like the Nexus where those buttons actually show up on the screen whereas are are 4 dedicated buttons (but still capacitive).
I was wondering if it's possible to change the soft key function of the search button to say the multitask button because I never use the search button and I do use the multitask button quite frequently, so it would be a lot faster to press the search button instead of holding down the home button.
I've already read through this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1596085 and used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1524858 for remapping my search button to my power button, along with using volume for wake. I have done both of these, and that works just fine.
But, my problem is a little different.
My original power button didn't just stop working, it is actually malfunctioning. Meaning that the power button is being hit at random times, even when I don't press it (or the search button which is now my power button). It is extremely annoying and difficult to use the phone.
Does anyone know of a way to disable the power button completely? I'll settle to using search for off and volume buttons for wake, but I need a way to disable the original power button. The button remapper app from the thread above includes a way to remap or disable every button, except the original power button.
Thanks for your help
It says it all in the second link you posted. Read it all.

No.
Like I said, I want to DISABLE the power button completely, because it's malfunctioning. I have ALREADY remapped it to the search key, but the original power button keeps pressing itself, turning the screen on and off, bringing up the boot menu, etc.
The button remapper app allows you remap or disable every button EXCEPT the power button. So while you can remap search to be power, you couldn't remap power to be search (or in my case, disable power completely).
Anyone?
You would have to physically disable the button yourself.
I don't think its possible to fully power off your phone, but what you can do is map the volume up or down buttons as a wake key. I myself want to do this and am still searching for the solution, but if you want to take a crack at it:
The file buttons you want to edit should be in here. somewhere(system/user/keylayout) Root explorer can help you edit the layout without changing the format. That's as far as I can take you for now

Now it has to call the screen cap by power off button, how to set it under scroll down meun? thanks.
Press power plus volume down button?
I've found holding down the power button is the best option. It gives you a menu with Screenshot in the list.
Alternative is as viperc suggested, or you could long press the home soft button and use the Google Share Screenshot feature?
