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

I've been searching the web and I caouln't find a End call Camera button.
Does anybody have an application that uses camera button to end calls?
Camera never see, but in the phone there is an option to end the call with te power button.
Is there any way to end calls with back button, or any of the others three?

Useless. Back button loses "back" funcionality and acts like power button.

Right!
I edit the file shakira_keyboard.kl in /sysem/usr/keylayout and add the line
key 107 ENDCALL
Now I have to press the power-button zu end a call.
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

It's good. I've been using it my Inspire days .
Ok, so I've read about how you don't get the ICS quick change/recently used apps button on the new SIii.
Questions 1 is there a way to remap the Menu button so that is does the quick change feature?
2 is there a way to then, the double tap home button feature to get GOOGLE Voice Search/Actions?
3 is there a way that I can add on screen ICS buttons like on the Galaxy Nexus? And then make the hardware home button do something else?
Do I need apps? Rooting?
Thanks!
You need to root. You can turn on software keys with the AOKP rom but you cannot disable the hard keys.

i would rather have the task manager open when you hold and press on the back button. the menu button when u hold give u the google search, but on the back button when u hold nothing happens. it would be only logical to apply the task manager to this button when pressed down and held for a a few seconds
Hey I have heard that NOVA launcher pro allows you to customize some of the these short cuts on the phone.

Aw yeah.
I do not have the phone yet, but I believe holding the home button will bring up the recent apps. This is how it's been for previous android versions before they made a dedicated button for the galnex
that's how it works for my Dinc, on gingerbread and ics

1. open /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl
2. add # to the beginning of the line of the key you want to disable
3. reboot
in the same file you can remap power key to home key for example
remember to make backup before editinf the file

is there a way to stop the home button from waking the device also? (so only the power button wake the device up)
I wonder if you guys can enlighten me. My goal is to have the Home key under the screen function as the power button, and have the normal power button (on the right side of the phone) function as Home (without waking the device). I want this because I'm always unintentionally hitting the power button when I pick up the phone.
I was able to get the Home button to function as power by changing key 116 to 172 in sec_powerkey.kl. However, now the normal power button doesn't do anything. I tried swapping POWER with HOME in sec_keys.kl, but that doesn't seem to do anything.
Any tips on how to give my power button a function now?

Since Android 4.0, Google has declared war on the menu button and all devices come out with Recents - Home - Back buttons.
Samsung for some reason decided to move forward with the menu button.
Would it be easy to remap the left capacitive button and make it show the recents instead of the menu action?
Does it really bother you that much to keep the hardware-button pressed down for like 1 second to display the 'Recent' list?

It bothers me, that much
It bother me that much as well - it's just slow.
I think I'd prefer the mod to be double-click home button though, since I rarely use S Voice and it's no hassle to find and click the icon for it whenever I want to use it.
This bothers me too
Would be nice to have it on the menu button. Even an app/shortcut on the homescreen for it would be nice.
I wonder also if there is a way to limit the recent lists as well, if I don't check it sometimes the list can be massive - would be nice to limit this to like 5 items or something.

Anyone who used the CM10 on screen nav buttons, knows how much better it is to have the recents key available on a beast like the sgs3.
I wish we could change it but I am afraid this will never be possible on a samsung rom

open up Generic.kl in /system/usr/keylayout

key 139 MENU

That's half working. It does work as APP_SWITCH but Android doesn't recognize the lack of the MENU button so it's doesn't show the settings buttons that are needed in most applications.
cm10 has implemented the button remap feature. now you can easily change the menu button long press to recent apps in cm10

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.

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?
