Hey everyone,
Do you know wheter it is possible to change the power button mapping, and use for example the "volume up" button as the power? That would be pretty awesome.
Probably everyone hates that button on the back
I saw a thread for the HTC Hero about remapping keys, but I have no idea if it can be applied also to the xoom.
Thanks!

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

Hi guys, I need help cos my power is not working anymore, i think its a hardware issue. For the meantime I just wanna know if can remap one of the volume button or capacitive button to act as the power button so i can lock and get power menu options. Thanks in advance.
Nevermind guys. I got the answer already in this thread after some searching...

Thanks.
So a friend dropped his C5303 and the power button is now a little sticky.
Any way to turn the camera button into the power button?
Cheers
TIA
EDIT: This device isn't rooted and he'd have no idea how to!
yesterday my power button died, but I was able to turn on my N5 somehow. after, I've enabled the double tap to sleep on the statusbar and on the lockscreen and volume buttons now wake the device, but I wasn't able to remap the power button and if I accidentaly press it, I don't know what will happen. So, there's any method to completely disable the power button? I've tried with gravity box but there isn't any option to do this.
someone knows how to disable the power button from the .kl files in system/usr/keylaout?
And then, can I use the volume buttons to turn on the device when it's off or I have to keep it on forever?
