I've damaged the power key accidentally of my HTC touch.. so the on/off key doesn't work anymore. I'd like to know is there anyway to make the other button (eg. camera key) functioning as the power key, at least I can wake up the phone when the phone is off. (this is the most important part...)
PLEASE HELP... and Thanks in advance!!
is that possible?
Hey everybody, I've been having some trouble with my Nationite Midnite (Wits A81E).
My hardware buttons (softkeys) for back, menu, and home are broken. I have an app installed that lets me use a touchscreen button for them but the only one that actually works is the home screen button. What I want to try to do is edit the key mappings so that a long press of the functioning volume buttons could be assigned to back and menu. If anyone knows anything about this, please help me! Thanks in advance!

We all know you can use the power button to take a picture in most custom roms, but with the s3 being such a large phone it's sometimes hard to hit the power button and tap to focus using just one hand. So how would one go about mapping the physical home button as the camera shutter button? Thanks for your input.
Anyone?
You can enable the onscreen buttons then remap the home key to start the camera and act as the shutter button when in the app. Also some camera apps allow you to select any pod the physical buttons as a shutter key.

Thanks for your reply but I'm looking for a way to map the physical home button as the camera shutter button. Using an on screen button would be the same as just hitting the camera shutter button on the camera app.
I'm in no way a developer but I feel like it would be as simple as changing the code in the camera apk to make the physical home button take a picture rather than the power button. Can anyone confirm this?

I knowfor HTC phone they make MOD for vol up for vol down to act as shutter button, I wonder if that would be able to be ported over number one, and if so if able to change the vol up/vol down to home button for shutter.

this method isn't the best though, it pretty much renders the volume button worthless IIRC even when not using camera app, i do remember i coded it into the camera app one time for HTC, maybe i can dig that up
So a friend dropped his C5303 and the power button is now a little sticky.
Any way to turn the camera button into the power button?
Cheers
TIA
EDIT: This device isn't rooted and he'd have no idea how to!
I was wondering if there is a mod that you can activate the camera from the standby lock screen by holding the volume key? as i don't listen to music on my phone so that wont matter to me if the volume key is used for camera shortcut.
At the moment i am using gravity box and xposed on 4.4.4 and i set the volume down key to trigger the flash light.
