I think "go locker" for Go Launcher has that option for volume key wake up/unlock.

[GUIDE] Change wakeup key to the 3d toggle button (MODS PLease move to development

Do you ever felt that you have too small hands for the o3d? Or you just don't like to stretch your finger all the way to the top for unlocking your device? Then you should try this. With this tweak you can unlock the device with a click on the 3d button.
You can only do this in recovery with mounted system and ADB.
In adb *adb pull /system/usr/keylayout/omap-keypad.kl C:\
Open the file in wordpad and you get a list with different buttons. Scroll down to
3D_HOT_KEY
change it to
3D_HOT_KEY WAKE
Save the file and push it back to your phone
*adb push C:\ omap-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/omap-keypad.kl
REBOOT YOUR DEVICE!
You can also assign other buttons the wake up function e.g the volume rocker by adding the line WAKE after it
GOOD LUCK

It does not work, maybe it works when the phone is connected with cable but when it is in deep sleep mode it does not work at all.

Yeah i noticed that now. You can lock it and within about 20 sec you can unlock it with the 3d button but then it enters deep sleep.
Did you try it?

Yes I have been trying to do this for a quite a time now nothing seems to be working. I hope you find a way to do it power button is soldered not the part of motherboard itself so if it breaks you are in trouble. I don't understand why LG made this kind of mistake.

I also tried to edit the qwerty.kl but it had the same results. One way would be to write a script that prevents the phone to enter deep sleep but i guess it would drain alot of battery. Am i right?

Exactly my friend that will drain the battery. I think maybe they'll review this problem in upcoming ICS update.

But how if the power button is not connected to the software ?

I don't know I was to wishing they might resolve this issue.

I've noticed that when you plug your headset in that you can press the headset button and the music will start. And beacouse the music is on the phone is not in deep sleep mode and then you can press the 3d button to wake the screen. So if I could somehow make the 3d button act like the headset and not start the music when I press it then this should work!

It won't work that way.
When the music is playing, it's not in deep sleep mode as you stated.
If you want to use the 3D Button to wake it instead, why not switch the Power Button and the 3D Button functions.
Power Button = 3D function
3D Button = Power function

So the power button is then connected to the motherboard and the software?

Not necessarily.
The power button will function as the power button when off, but when on, the functions change.

Dead Power Button

My power button is failing on me.. I can't use it anymore and it opens up the power menu randomly once every couple 10ish seconds and also turns off the screen without my input! I currently have a [Go To Sleep] tile on cm10.1 and volume button wake as a work around. Is there a way to disable the power button completely?

[Q] Open homescreen without power button

Hi,
I have recently found that the double tap to wake feature actually does work on my phone, but all it does is slightly brighten the watch face. I still have to press the power button to open the app drawer (Home screen)
Is there a way to get to the app drawer from a sleeping state without pressing the actual power button?

Try with sensivity button at maxim.

Sorry, that is not what I meant
I can use the double tap to awaken the screen, it just brightens up, but then I have to press the power button to make it even brighter. Only after that can I open the app drawer.

I don't think,there is no option for now,maybe in future.

[q] how to get hardware menu button?

Has anyone figured out how to get the soft menu button back after it was replaced by the app switcher button?
Press and hold of the app switcher just triggers the multi-window mode.
I use an app that has no menu in their interface and really need this button back!
Help!
Thanks!

On my device when there is no menu button in the app I get a floating menu button, you don't?

I see the floating menu button (with 3 dots) in the XDA app. However, in pulse reader, it does not appear...
