Currently I`m using WidgetLocker to unlock screen with volume but I lost default unlock screen from sense who is beautifull so:
WidgetLocker Lockscreen can do it, CM7 rom I heard that can do it so how can they do it? What should us (I`m sure that I`m not the only one who don`t want to use power button to unlock screen or to use some app that keep sensors on) have to do to unlock screen with volume keys? I tried to edit keypad.kl (key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE to WAKE_DROPPED) but on desire S has no effect so if widget locker/cm7 can do this thing maybe someone can help and say what should I have to edit ?
update: after using ButtonRemapper v0.2.4.1:
1.volume +- with wake_dropped = didn`t worked to unlock screen.
2.volume +- binded as power and wake_dropped = when screen was on it worked to make screen off but when screen was off didn`t worked to unlock.
out of ideas :|
Bump
I'm bumping this one.
Yes there are more people who want to use their volume key(s) to unlock to their Sense 3 based lockscreen!
Hope that somebody can come up with an answer!
I'm keeping my eyes on this post.
Cheers,
D.

i got this working on my htc evo today, here are my changes i made using Button Remapper v0.2.4.1
107 [Endcall] Endcall W_D
116 [Power] Volume Up W
115 [Volume Up] Volume Down W
114 [Volume Down] Power W_D
217 [Search] Search W_D
158 [Back] Back W_D
139 [Menu] Menu W_D
102 [Home] Home W_D
so now my power button is vol up, vol up is vol down, and vol down is power.
im not sure if this will work on your phone, but i dont get to help people much and this felt right up my alley
EDIT: also, i used to use widgetlocker with a sense theme, so you should be able to change it in the custom slider screen, check under themes.
Look HERE for info how to do it.
Hello,
I have a friend with a Droid 2 and their power button is on the way out. Is there a way to remap the camera button to be the power button?
I have tried editing the "cdma_droid2-keypad.kl" file, but it doesn't seem to change anything...
Code:
key 116 POWER GRAVE
key 211 FOCUS POWER WAKE
key 212 CAMERA POWER WAKE
does this code look correct? I just can't seem to get it to change anything. After pushing the file it doesn't change the button behavior at all.
They are rooted and on CM7

i remapped my search button with the button remapper app. it has ALL the power button options except wake the screen. to wake the screen, ics has an option. go to the main phone settings, security, lockscreen, press none. now you can wake the phone with volume button. cm9 also has a wake device with the volume rocker option.

Hello!
The button of Volume UP of my B68M phine works up to 50%, i.e. :
If I press it once brings to Homescreen and if instead I do a long press the button works fine (the volume goes to max.).
There is no doubt that the button itself is not faulty (it would not go home).
Then I did a remap keys, exchanging the Camera button with Volume UP button.
For the remapping I modified the files .kl in \system\usr\keylayout
In this way the Volume works 100% BUT.....if I press the volume button, the camera is not activated and the phone brings to HomeScreen again.
It seems that the Volume UP button is connected permanently to HomeScreen.
Problem of electrical ground or ROM ?
Can someone help me ?
Thanks in advance

ROM: CM11(Kit Kat 4.4.4)
My power button sometime work and sometime not.
Now I want to use vol button as my power button.
How to modify a vol button as power button? Can we mod from build.prob?
Btw, what is this? default is false, what if I set as true?
persist.sys.dalvik.multithread=true
And there is some tweak tips from here:
http://gs3.wonderhowto.com/how-to/t...-with-these-build-prop-android-hacks-0142434/
I wonder, which one is best mod to improve performance of our LGO3D?
Thank you.

Go to System/usr/Keylayout/Generic.kl , you will see a lot of numbers every number represents one key and value on right side is command it is doing (example: key 116 POWER WAKE this wakes device with key 116) now you can search for VOLUME_DOWN and change it to POWER WAKE or if you have TWRP recovery there is option to detect every key numer.
