Then save and reboot, now you can't open camera with the button , but you can close and open screen with it (include power off)

So the power button calls the camera, and the camera button calls screen on/off and power on/off?

Kinda cool but why do that?..now you have to be left handed and push the power button on the side of the phone to take a picture ,right?
Unless u feel like tapping the screen which is hard to do while trying to keep the phone steady..

Maybe he's left-handed? lol Maybe a "I can do this am I'm gonna" thing... dunno.

Gotcha. Tried it, works. Any other button re-assignments that could be made?

You can try others, but make a backup of the original file. ^ ^

Camera key Atrix 2 is suck, hard to press --> shake -> blur image
thanks! it really makes life much easier for the incipio case - where the power button is a finger killer , damn too hard to push.
I'll try it soon
edit: seems that it doesn't works for mine :\ btw there are a few more files in that folder that have the key 212 CAMERA line, should i try changing them also?
Would it be possible to map it so the camera key works as the power on/off with a short press but still start the camera app with a long press?
I agree with the Incipio case. I ended up placing some small chunks of tape on the buttons before getting it in the case. It makes it so there's less travel needed to make contact.
Get zmooth pro, is has more solutions for you

Sometimes it will happen, perhaps camera button is working on wake time.
So, you can use camera btn to close screen.

Can we have slide to wake like htc does?
I guess it will save our hard button.

I think the camera button (after some time on sleep) still wants to call for camera, rather than wake. If I use the power button to wake, then sleep via camera button, that works. I can then wake via camera button and sleep, but if left in sleep more than 5 minutes or so, the camera button won't wake....

oh aware .
as title, is there any alternative ways to unlock the devices without using the power button? for now, i am using screen off and lock which is able to switch off and lock the note screen, but still need to use the power button to wake it up. so just wonder is there any kind of apps like tap tap which is using the proximity sensor or another physical key to unlock the device?
With CM10 you can unlock with volume buttons. But it's not ready to use on Note 10.1 yet.

On gingerbread's cwm, the back menu button keeps getting disabled for no reason this is on the newer version that comes with bh's blast off kernel too. It forces me to do a battery pull pretty much every time I get into recovery unless I flash/wipe cache within about 15 to 20 seconds. Any fix for this?

It happens when you scroll through the menu. To re enable just hit the button (I believe) up a bunch of times.

You need to put and hold the phone in the mouth, then do a backflip, run 2 miles and drink soda, jump 100 times... oh, you dropped the phone? Start again!
J/k... Hit vol up and down at the same time.

Tried that but holding up and down doesnt work for me. The best thing is just tapping the vol up repeatedly.

Briefly hold down the Home + Power buttons. It'll snap a photo and be placed into the Gallery.

To take a screen shot, go into settings - dislplay and there should be an option saying quick launch, tap that and select screen capture.
Hope i helped.

the quick launch setting was removed in the jelly bean update. so yea use power and volume to take snapshots you need to get the timing right as you need to hit both at the same time not one then the other.
