HI,
Is there a way to remap buttons so that another button besides power can wake or put the phone to sleep? Seem like using one button for this function will fail over time. I tried using widget locker but it didn't seem to work. I read that widgetlocker has some issues with the S2, so I chalked it up to that. By the way, I'm on my corporate Exchange server, so not sure if that plays into this some how.
Thanks

Here is a link where you can download a small app and install
it into your phone. It's called "ButtonRemapper" and it can remap
all 4 softkeys as well as the power and volume keys too.

Tried it a little while ago. Only works for the capacitive keys.
What about this app? You can decrease 50% of the power button used

Hi,
Is it possible to wake up my phone by pressing (or should I say touching) home button instead of power button?
BTW, I've found a app for turning the screen down called "Screen Off and Lock" in the market.
update: I found the TapTap App from the market is very good to wake up your streak without pressing the power button. It uses proximity sensor to wake up your phone and you can change the sensitivity. I have been using it for a couple of days, it doesn't degrade the battery life. At least I didn't feel that.
I use that app (screen off and lock) with transparent launcher 100% transparent to hide the icon. and NO LOCK app to use the power button to wake it up. But have not found a menu unlock that will work.
u can use widgetlocker it has this option
Or use the menu unlock off the market. Not home button.....but the menu button....

on most devices you change key 102 HOME in /system/usr/keylayout/sruf_keypad.kl to key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED but im not sure that will work anyways because these are capacitive buttons, not physical ones so its like trying to use the touch screen while its off.

I didn't try this one. If it does work, that's great.
Does this app consume more power than usual?

Oh, I found this one. It's just for unlocking the phone after you wake up it, but not for waking it up. Right?

Doesn't work for me, or perhaps I'm just dumb
I've used the app Button Remapper to remap all of the hardware buttons, including the camera button as two (focus, camera).
These can be used to power on the device with wake_dropped.
However, the Home, Menu etc buttons are not identified and remappeable in the normal way. Has anyone found if they're remapped from/to other buttons, perhaps the function keys etc?
I've found that remapping the keys:
volume up = home
volume down = menu
focus = back
camera = search,
it's substantially better to use in landscape mode. However, I'd like to disable the capacitive buttons, but haven't found a way yet.

When I first got it, the volume button would wake up the phone. A few days later it stopped doing it. Maybe I changed some settings but I've been looking thru them all and can't find it.
Was this a bug? I know most people need apps to be able to do that from what I read.
It was so much nicer than pressing the power button. *sigh*
I like waking up the phone with the volume buttons as well. I use a program known as widgetsoid 2.x, you can download it from the market, that lets you unlock the screen - meaning that you can wake the phone with the power button or volume rockers and won't need to slide to unlock it either.
WidgetLocker allows you to wake up the screen, and thus unlock the phone, from the volume keys as well.

So you can't do it without an app?
Must have been just a tease. lol
I was hoping there was something simple in the settings somewhere.
Download No Lock, it allows you to use the volume rocker + power button to wake up the phone and gets rid of the lock screen for those of us that don't like it.
I use NoLock as well. Occasional Opera Mobile errors when waking the phone up, but overall NoLock works well...
Thanks, tried no lock. Works pretty well. Few times it still locked but I can live with that.
Thanks, No Lock was much better than widget locker that i've been using. The slider in widget locker is so slow/laggy.
You can also download "lock screen" to be able to lock screen by touching an icon instead of the horrible power button.

Atrix Wake Up On Volume Down Button
If you are using a custom ROM with cyanogen mod go on settings-cyanogen settings- input- and tick volume rocker wave.
this will allow you to wake your Atrix without using the annoying power button.
If this helps please press thanks.

Hi guys! I just want to share this app, called Button Remapper. I saw this in a thread here in XDA a year ago and I can't seem to find the right thread so if anyone claims din message me.
Anyhows! I'll share this so you wouldnt tend to mess up your power button, not to press it every now and then, every time you lock and unlock your phone.
Well, it saves your power button. I use this app for that, replacing the function of the capacitive search button and make it act as a power button. It make me not to use the power button frequently and makes a perfect tandem for "wake up volume rockers" option found in any CM and AOKP. As long as you install the app, there are other buttons you can remap.
I've learned that stressing the power button my cause digitizer failure.
Syntax:
-Download attachment file
-Install as normal APK
-Enjoy

Hey folks, I just updated to MK2 and rooted with "Saferoot".....It seems like most things are functional........but, now when I long press the Home button the Power Off/On, etc. options come up just as they do when long press the Power button.
Any one know of a fix to get the task manager back when long pressing the home button?

Is your phone in "easy mode"? Settings/My device/Home screen mode
Other than some application having changed that button, that's the only setting I know of.

No, it's not in easy mode. Good thinking, though, thanks.

Right now I'm using the double tap gesture in Nova Prime.

Nah. I'm using the Nova gesture because I couldn't get the home button to work...
Is pretty odd to me that long pressing the home button pulls up the power options. It would make more sense to me if long pressing did nothing at all rather than performing a completely different function than what is programmed. How does that even happen?

I have root, lsposed. I want an app/hack to change if possible the power button simple click action (to run a custom app instead of turn off screen). But probably this is very difficult, so any app to change long click action. For double click i already know how.
Thanks, if anyone knows.
I'm using button mapper : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton to change the volume keys order when rotating the tab. This app could be, what you looking for.
