Hey everyone, for some odd reason, I'm having an issue where choosing Power in the Settings apk causes it to crash. Currently I have installed the extreme power menu mod, enabled power saver mode, I have xposed, but its not running (no framework) and some how got the APM mod to stick (even though I'm not de-odexed).
Any ideas what may be wrong? I can provide a logcat if necessary.

Not a big deal but with the ViperOneS ROM, I have the Quicksettings to show both (the horizontal and the vertical power bars). However whenever I do a reboot, either 1 or both power menus don't show up. I have to go into Venom Tweaks > Statusbar and enable a different option (horizontal or vertical), then re-select the option for both for it appear. Can anyone assist with this?
Same here....
Same here too
But its not a prob for me cause i only use vertical
You can add it to the issue tracker or ask in the rom thread

Hi there,
my HTC One S (ville) fall down and the display was broken completely.
I bought myself a new a one and have build it in. While replacing the screen I screwed the Flex cable which is responsible for the hardware buttons at bottom (and the sound however).
I also got a new flex cable and replaced the old one.
1) Problem
When I restart my phone the buttons at the bottom work, until I get into lockscreen. After that they won't work anymore, I don't know why. (Only restart helps, again they work only until I got into lockscreen).
2) Workaround-Problem
So, as a workaround a decided to install CM10 to use the navigation bar (I set qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in prop.build before I flashed the rom).
Now I have the problem with the menu button. The 3-dot menu button shows up but has obviously no function. When I click on it nothing happens - I can't access any settings menu in apps.
I tried also Virtual Button App - either there the menu function does not do anything.
Of course I rooted my phone etc...
Is there something special with the HTC ONE S and the menu button function?
Thanks very much in advance,
Maik
My power button is damaged and I have requested a replacement of the back cover (hopefully can fix it). Till that time, Is it possible to wake up my phone using the volume (up or down key) instead of power button?
Also, recently, I am missing a few app icons from the app drawer (sound hound, tune radio etc), however, they are showing under Settings --> Apps --> All apps. I tried removing these apps using sdMaid (however) these apps showed up again (without icons).
Please advise.

I tried flashing avatar rom, and i was stuck on HTC logo. I need to remove this bloatware and get some other physical button waking up my screen...
Thanks, i got a good cover for the phone, power button is much responsive. But, I am not sure what is going wrong with missing app icons (however, app still present in phone). I am trying to remove some bloatware.
Hello all,
Recently the power button on my Nexus 5 has been acting really weird. Sometimes it works flawlessly, others it requires pressing it really hard to work. In order to prevent it to stop working indefinetely, I am looking for a way to remap my volume-up button so it can work as a power button. I don't need it to turn my phone on or to work in the recovery mode (from what I read, it seems to be impossible), only when Android is running.
I've already tried some workarounds:
1) Volume Unlock Power Button Fix app: I tried it, but it just allowed me to turn on my phone with volume but not turning off. Also, it drains a LOT of power.
2) Buttonremapper app: It would theoretically do exactly what I wanted, but did not work at all.
3) Editing generic.kl: I tried switching volume-up and power buttons codes in generic.kl, but also did not work. Maybe I need to modify another file?
3) Xposed Framework + Additions: The installation of Xposed went Ok, but after installing Additions module I got stucked in bootloop. I am running Android 5.1 stock, maybe this module is not yet compatible.
So, can anyone help me? Do I need to install a custom ROM?
PS: I live outside US, so no warranty for me. Otherwise I would just use it
Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers,
Humberto
Hi folks,
Just a heads up for anyone who might be facing the same issue. I decided to change from stock to Cataclysm ROM due to some specific features (listed below). After the installation, here's what I did to work around this problem:
1) Enabled "Volume wake" and "Sleep button on status bar" in "Cataclysm Settings / Miscellaneous".
2) Enabled "Swipe to sleep" and resized NavBar to 115% in "Cataclysm Settings / Navigation bar options". -> This way I can swipe in NavBar at any time (except lockscreen) to turn off screen. I raised it a little to facilitate the swipe gesture.
3) Changed Lockscreen Dialer shortcut to ""Turn off Screen" app shortcut (just search for it in the play store) in "Cataclysm Settings / Lockscreen options" -> This allows me to just swipe right and turn off the screen when my security settings are disabled (which accounts for most of the time). I found it way faster than pressing sleep button in status bar, especially when I'm driving and I can't look at the screen. Plus, I don't really use the dialer function of my phone so often since the invention of Whatsapp ;P
I realize this is not the perfect solution, but I don't see a better way to deal with this power button malfunction problem (except from a hardware fix).
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Humberto
PS: I am really enjoying Cataclysm. It's a very nice ROM, completely stable and with a lot of other interesting features aside from the ones mentioned above. I strongly encourage anyone to give it a try!
I'm facing the exact same problem but I really need to eliminate the power button or I will need a power button fix soon.
The solutions you found hthiengo are good if not needing to turn off (or worst: running out of battery, something that happens me sometimes). I'm in the situation that next time I hit power button I will need to replace the button, or throw the nexus away
I did installed the xposed additions for lollipop but it is not working, and the Cataclysm trick is not enough in this case
Ok, after some research I've found a temporary solution:
For the power button you can remap modifying the file gpio-keys.kl under system/usr/keylaout (i wonder why anyone could figure out thise before, no that difficult). I would like to map power button leeaving it useless but I've found it impossible to remap the power button (probably because the key number is not 116). I would have liked to see xposed additions to help me map the keys but is not functional at least for me.
If the phone runs out of battery I've found that if I plug the power cable by pressing both volume buttons at the same time, eventually it starts up with the bootloader so I can plug the pc cable and it will reboot sucessfully.
So despite the phone know is pretty disfunctional (not the best phone for a hurry without battery), I can still use it for some weeks before I plan buying a new one or something (or I find a place for reparing). Its a shame I could not find a better solution for example, ADT when powered off so I could just reboot it by using ADT reboot command while powered off.
And It would be really amazing if the volume up button could also power it on from the powered off state.
In my case the power button is broken, but sometimes it gets stuck and puts the phone in a reboot loop: To avoid pressing the power button accidentally I've made a hole in the protective case so its pretty difficult to access it.
That's all for now. If anyone can make it better I will be glad to hear him/her
Hello,
I'm having an issue where I'm stuck in 'Ultra Power Saving Mode'.
I was using the google launcher, not touch wiz. I entered UPSM and pressed the home buttom, at which point it asked me what default launcher to use. I selected google and now I only have access to limited apps. It's not the usual UPSM launcher.
When i go into settings only a few options are available (WiFi, Bluetooth etc) but nothing to allow me to exit Ultra Power Saving Mode.
I've tried flashing firmware via Odin (latest 6.01) but I'm still stuck in UPSM.
Does anyone know of a way out without without having to factory erase?
Thanks
Resolved?
Hello - Have you sorted this problem out yet or has anyone responded to you on any other forum maybe?
Thanks,

Only solution I found was to wipe my phone
This worked for me: using package disabler pro, I uninstalled Google Now Launcher. After closing the app, I got back to the usual UPSM screen and was able to disable it.
Another way to get around this is to side load any other launcher and to choose samsung launcher when you open the new launcher.
Go into settings switch default launcher.
Go to the menu and find google app hold that app and move to the top of the screen and put that in the app info and tap Force stop now press the home button now it will again ask for the default launcher and now select touch wiz. That's it now you phone back to normal.
