Any app out there that will let me remap the search button to use as a power button? Power button has failed
Search the forum, I'm quite sure there is an app like that.

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.

[CyanogenMod 9 Alpha Builds 4.0.4]
In order to use the SEARCH key as the POWER key, I tried to replace every 'SEARCH' with 'POWER' in the following files:
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
/system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
/system/usr/keylayout/saga-keypad.kl
After rebooting, it doesn't seem to work.
Could anybody tell me why?
I'm using application called "screen off and lock"
I made a shortcut to long press search button, simple and works well.
Sent by my fingers to your head.
I know this app. But I want the SEARCH button works exactly the same as POWER: short press = lock; long press = power menu.
Also I would like to use NEXT/PREV buttons on my earphone as VOLUME+/-.
So I guess I have to modify the key layout.

Screen off and lock DOES that.
Install the app. Then hold search button....

Read before you post, dude.
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

Thanks.
Is there any way I can simply map the power button as volume up and volume up button as power button throughout the OS? I am running CM10.1.

Just get button remapper from the market or from the forums. I remapped my volume - to power and power to camera focus (because the button is faulty )
Thanks that app works great.
