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.

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

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.

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?
Bump
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
Is there a way to remapp the menu button to when press get recent apps and when press home button long get menu thinks.
