I have this app called Quick Reboot. It let's you go into shutdown/reboot/recovery mode.
Any way to make it so Quick Reboot launches when I hold down the power button instead of the default which only gives me the option to Power Off?
I have a Nexus 6 if it makes a difference
Thanks for any help

Currently I have my Android phone setup to use a numeric pin to lock the device. Unfortunately this means everytime the phone goes to idle (or directly by me pressing the power button) I have to enter the pin to use the phone. There are many instances when I don't want to have to do so, such as while driving when I want to be able to quickly and more safely glance at the phone.
Basically I want to lock the phone on an as needed basis, by simply tapping on an app on the homescreen (or perhaps even a different key combination e.g. volume up + power button). Does such a thing exist?
Power Control Plus works exactly as you described. You can toggle the lockscreen with the press of a widget:

Additionally, I like Unlock w/ WiFi, its automated:

Ummm widget locker
I have been using Tap Tap App to do this.
Screen Off and lock is perfect.
But I think there is still a problem when unlocking ur screen, u still need to press the power button...
No Lock can help on keeping ur screen off but not lock, so that u can press other buttons to trigger ur phone. But it seems that after reboot, the app is not working>.<
thanks for the suggestions! I'll give them all a try.
on my samsung vibrant, I could hold down the lock/power button and it would bring up the shutdown menu, along with a quick silent/vibrate mode option. I don't see any such mode for the sensation, was this a feature of the custom ROM I was using? How else do you quickly switch the sensation to silent?
Use the Volume Buttons and just press them until it goes into silent/vibrate mode.
Either that or use a widget
EDIT: There's a stock widget for it, it's HTC widget number 44

I was looking for this too as this was easily accessible in my HTC Wildfire's power button. Found it, it's the PROFILE widget.
Is it possible to change the power button function?
I keep pressing it by mistake when I use my phone in both landscape and portrait modes. I've had the phone for ages now and just can't hold the phone comfy without my fingers resting against the power button.
It would be nice if I could set the power button to sleep on long press like the reboot menu, and have the reboot menu on a 10second press.
Would this be possible?

Hi,
I'm looking for an app which can open the DEFAULT power menu.
There are many apps in the Play Store which CREATE a power menu, but I want one which can just open it.
I use power menu a lot and I'm sure most of us use it very much. I just want something which can prolong the life of the power button.
I'm currently using Screen Off and Lock from the Play Store which can lock the phone using an on-screen icon. I want something like that for the power menu too.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
If you're rooted, you could try rom toolbox from jrummy, it has a complete rebooter section and a widget accessing to that section

I know there are apps which can display their own power menu.
But what I'm interested in is to use the default power menu...
Have a look at Screen off and lock in the Play store to know what I mean...

I assume you have a non-working power button. There are 2 ways you can do this:
1. Enable the Navigation bar feature in AOKP or SlimBean rom. Map the Power function to one of the button, but map it to the primary function of the button, not the secondary.
2. You can remap your capacitive buttons. Open the file /system/use/keylayout/cypress-touchkey.kl with the text editor of your root explorer, or copy it to your sdcard to edit it. Change KEY 217 ASSIST (or SEARCH), to POWER. Save the file and reboot. Also make sure you fix the permission of the file when you put it back if needed.
For both of these, press and hold that button to bring up the menu, one press = screen off.

My power button is working fine.
I'm just interested in getting the functionality of an on-screen button such displays the default power menu...
Thanks for your tutorial though.
Might help me some day...

Id like to know if there is a way to use say the volume down button to quickly activate an app which is running in the background. I am thinking of say double pressing the volume down button to activate my app. Is this possible?
