Haven't seen this posted yet and each phone is a little different. Curiously it's more like the Note II than the SIII.
1) Open Root Explorer
2) Navigate to: /system/usr/keylayout/
3) Press 'Mount R/W'
4) Long hold 'gpio-keys.kl' and choose "Open in Text Editor"
5) Remove "WAKE" from the line "172 HOME WAKE"
6) Back out, Save, Reboot
Enjoy

Home2 shortcut app should work. Simply download it, follow the instructions, then disable the home button shortcut in the svoice settings.

Well... the power button wakes the phone up just fine. I also worry that it can get pressed while in my pocket.
Coming from the Galaxy Note I enjoy the Home Button to wake the phone instead of always having to use the Power Button.
What I'd like to see is Google Voice search shortcut while holding the Power Button instead of the Task Manager.

Just long-press Menu to bring up GNow...then you not only have access to voice search, but the famous GNow cards that might answer your question, anyhow.

That and also in any app, long press on the menu button acts as the search button within the app.
Just throwing this out there - I read here and in the .kl file that it is not good to mess with the generic.kl file. Does anyone know which would be the best .kl file to edit?
I want my volume keys to wake the phone and when i add wake to those keys in the generic file, my power button no longer sleeps the phone...

As mentioned, Power button works the same. I don't need two ways to turn it on. I keep my phone in a belt case and it's tight enough that just putting it in the case turns the phone on. I'm tired of checking to see, so I did this mod today. Actually, it's one the biggest reason I rooted today! Mod worked great, thanks given. Much happier now.

Is there also one for the "trackball" ? Would be perfect for me If not, I'll try one of the above anyway. Thanks!
how to deactivate if you dont like it?
No they haven't found a way yet to use the trackball as a wake up call. Seem's strange as all the other buttons work. I'll have a look in other places tho, If I find it I'll post it.
Good point Simc13, I'll quickly make an update zip that'll restore normal functionality.

I am not sure if this would make sense, as the volume rocker keeps working when you are listening music and the screen is off.

Hi guys. This post was exactly what I was looking for.
I flashed only the search key to wakeup.
Result: now it wakes up with any button (also volume and trackpad).
Is it my mistake (which one?) or what?
Just flashed from the recovery and rebooted.
Thanks for your support

I'll add your link to the first post mate.
It's nice to see mods with different buttons working. I used kingchris's mod as soon as he posted, and it's been working great since then.
is it possible to have the same function as stock hero 1.5/2.1 where u press the menu button twice, it unlocks the lockscreen?

For those that don't use it for anything and want to disable it cause you accidently hit it 10 times a day, flash the disable zip. If you want to enable it again, just flash the default zip
does that take care of the button completely or just it's long-press function?
Nice work! Do you think you could make it so i can hit the volume up button to bring the phone out of suspend instead of hitting the power button?
Both of the .kl files are the same...just giving ya a heads up before someone restores the default and doesn't have their search button back...but nice find. Thanks!
The default one was the one I forgot to put in there but it's fixed now

Besides disabling the search button, is it possible to map it to do something else like launch internet or something of that sort?

Its probably not built into the Sense build on the device. It used to be, but idk anymore since it isn't required by Android 2.0+
Also, to the people that want it to do something else:
See my post here. My guide is from way back in the G1 days, but all the same things apply here. Just change file names. An interesting use would be to change the search button to a camera button
Or see Decad3nce's wonderful writeup on the functions you can assign here. For the CDMA Hero, again just use your judgement. Use the right files
Also, my app Search2Play will soon be making it's way to the Evo now that we have usermode system partition access. Check it out here
Nice! Thanks for this, I always hit that button by accident.
Thank you! That damn button annoys the hell out of me everyday
Strange. I love the search button and use it all the time to text, call, launch apps etc.
Glad this is helpful to all the rest!
thanks!! i hit that damn button all the time

calkulin, would you be okay with me adding this to the online kitchen im slowly building for the EVO?
i'll link it back to this thread and credit your name.
If your looking to use the volume down you can just open the keymap~.kl file included in the zip with wordpad and swap the volume down and power or how ever you like. Just realize that the cap buttons won't work in place of the hardware buttons.
I posted a fix that swapped the volume down and the power button.
Nice fix tho.

i know when i had the mytouch 4g you could remap the "g" button by editing the UI/Mapkey file something like that. will try and find the thread
edit: ok found the thread, but dont know if it also possible on sensation or not....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836702

I`ve since discovered that I can get to the personalize screen by long pressing the screen if there is an empty space for a shortcut icon. Previously all my homescreens were full so obviously I had to remove a shortcut to be able to then personalize that screen.
Sorry, my mistake but in my defence it is my first Android phone and I`m slowly finding my way around it.
So my power button is like broken.. and its giving me hell to "try" to fix it.. (i've opened the phone and started to touch it and move it.. to make it work).. so.. i don't want to use it anymore..
I was wondering if there is a way to wake up the phone using the volume up/down buttons.. or the menu buttons? i'm running CM10..
There is an option somewhere in settings called volume rocker wake.
Sent from my sweet & buttery Infuse
Tasker has that capability when the "secure settings" plug-in is installed.
You could trigger it from a Tasker gesture (involves moving the phone in space) or shake... both of which are detected by accelerometer.
Edited to add: Andros' solution sounds simpler.
cool.. i found it under screen settings.. also.. is there a way to lock the screen WITHOUT touching the powerbutton?

Problem is, when you re-enable s-voice and assign it to double clicking the home button, it brings back the lag when single clicking the home button and it breaks the custom shortcuts that I've made with the app home2 shortcut...
what are people talking about...the home button does wake the device. Am i missing something?
