Hello,
I have a friend with a Droid 2 and their power button is on the way out. Is there a way to remap the camera button to be the power button?
I have tried editing the "cdma_droid2-keypad.kl" file, but it doesn't seem to change anything...
Code:
key 116 POWER GRAVE
key 211 FOCUS POWER WAKE
key 212 CAMERA POWER WAKE
does this code look correct? I just can't seem to get it to change anything. After pushing the file it doesn't change the button behavior at all.
They are rooted and on CM7

i remapped my search button with the button remapper app. it has ALL the power button options except wake the screen. to wake the screen, ics has an option. go to the main phone settings, security, lockscreen, press none. now you can wake the phone with volume button. cm9 also has a wake device with the volume rocker option.

Hi,
I was not happy with the small power button, so I took the idea described here for miro device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35801737
and I changed in fih_gpio-keys.kl:
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
to:
key 114 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED
Now volume down key works as search button - so I can unlock device by pressing volume down, and use it as a fast search to Google. I also downloaded LaunchKey
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818499
So long press on Volume down will bring me to camera360 app. for photo.
I do not use volume down so often and If I want to set volume down, I just press volume up and on screen I set the level..
(also the value can be change to: key 114 POWER WAKE - after that it works as the power button - but not for the complete power up after shut down... )
So this tip can be useful for anybody, who wish to have another way to unlock Xperia J (I was not happy with the unlock app. on Google play, as they always somehow messed with my lock screen)
Changed minc VOL(-) liked it !

change mine keylayout and installed LaunchKey.
Useful combo for Xperia J ,since it lacks SEARCH key +1
My sprint epic power button failed and I am trying to fix it by moving the function of the power key to the volume up or down key and setting the power key function to null. I have several questions on how to do this.
1. I know that I will have to gain root access but is there a way to do this without installing a custom kernel?
2. If i do end up having to root hte thing how do I get into download mode if the power key is not working?
3. My current /system/usr/keylayout/ has several files in it and am I right to assume that I should be editing the gpio-keys.kl file?
4. Is the 116 button assigned the power button value and 115 volume up?
5. Currently the file looks like this
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 116 POWER WAKE
so if i edited it to something like
key 115 POWER WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 116
would it still work? I want to leave the power key funciton blank as it looks like it is stuck and I dont want it to get stuck performing volume up the whole time.
That is all. Any help would be extremely appreciated by me and as you can see I am new to this whole process so if you have any pointers or better ways of doing this I would be extremely grateful for any input.
