Disable hardware keys? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Anyone have any input on disabling hardware keys? My power button decided to go wonky tonight. Took my phone apart and even removed the button...But the problem persists. As of right now, I'm using Button Savior and it's decent. Wondering if anyone else has run into this exact problem. Seems this power button issue is fairly common.

I use an app called Xposed Additions to remap hardware keys. I made Home a power button, and use lmt for everything else

Faulty power button?

Here lately it seems that I have to hit the power button several times to power the screen back on after time goes to sleep. I noticed this after flashing the kg4 leak. Has anybody else had this issue or is it hardware related. It does seem that I have to hit it more and more as time goes on.

Yes sir. At first I had to hit it twice sometimes. Now I'm up to 3 or 4 sometimes and 5 or 6 at others.

I save my power button !

With some change of keylayout, I use the camera button as power button.

key 212 CAMERA
Change to

Then save and reboot, now you can't open camera with the button , but you can close and open screen with it (include power off)

So the power button calls the camera, and the camera button calls screen on/off and power on/off?

Kinda cool but why do that?..now you have to be left handed and push the power button on the side of the phone to take a picture ,right?
Unless u feel like tapping the screen which is hard to do while trying to keep the phone steady..

Maybe he's left-handed? lol Maybe a "I can do this am I'm gonna" thing... dunno.

Camera key Atrix 2 is suck, hard to press --> shake -> blur image
thanks! it really makes life much easier for the incipio case - where the power button is a finger killer , damn too hard to push.
I'll try it soon
edit: seems that it doesn't works for mine :\ btw there are a few more files in that folder that have the key 212 CAMERA line, should i try changing them also?
Would it be possible to map it so the camera key works as the power on/off with a short press but still start the camera app with a long press?
I agree with the Incipio case. I ended up placing some small chunks of tape on the buttons before getting it in the case. It makes it so there's less travel needed to make contact.
Get zmooth pro, is has more solutions for you

Sometimes it will happen, perhaps camera button is working on wake time.
So, you can use camera btn to close screen.

Can we have slide to wake like htc does?
I guess it will save our hard button.

I think the camera button (after some time on sleep) still wants to call for camera, rather than wake. If I use the power button to wake, then sleep via camera button, that works. I can then wake via camera button and sleep, but if left in sleep more than 5 minutes or so, the camera button won't wake....

press the multi task button, does it bring up settings?
If not you have to edit the hardware keys
Nope it brings up multitask, will I lose my multitasking by editing hardware buttons? Jb on my nexus has the arrow down "my apps" button. Why is it different?

Need to disable power button

Hi. I have need to completely disable my power button besides physically breaking it. Not remap it or anything, just stop it from working. I will worry about turning it on later.
So how do i disable it? Is there an app or can i edit the build prop? I am rooted, thank you.

What is the point of repeating EXACTLY what I had posted, 2 weeks later?
Why does this need to be done???

You may try buttonremapper and disable the button completely by setting empty value.
