It would be great and safer if we could disable the power menu options if the lockscreen is locked by a pattern, password, pin..etc
You can reboot into recovery using the power and volume button. The advanced menu didn't expose anything already accessible

but reboot into recovery using the power and volume button It is not so common way for some users. But instead accessing from lockscreen is easier
+1. In case of a theft, this would at least buy some more time, in most cases. Especially in developing countries, I'm pretty sure most petty thieves won't know to go to recovery using power+volume button. Please implement this.

aggreed, most users (so thieves as well) don't know how to reboot in recovery
btw, is there a way to disable this fonction ? power menu is enough when you want to use recovery
Nope can't be disabled. And anyway it's necessary in case there is some issue with the ROM

Hopefully this is the right thread, if not I apologize...
Anyway, I think it would be cool to be able to give the lock button more functionality such as being able to set an app to open up when you short hold it and have power off and reboot to appear on a long press. Or even set an app to open on a single press and have it lock on a long hold. Just an idea but it would feel comfortable to me to be able to get to my mms this way =]

/Bump anyone?
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.

You can disable the capacitive buttons, but you cannot re map them from what I have found

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?

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.

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?

Hello. Recently my Galaxy s2 power button hasn't been working. As in when I either hold it down or press it, it doesn't lock the screne or pull the power menu. It works now and then but yeah I have to press it over and over again.I plan on getting it repaired soon but I'm looking for an workaround. I've seen apps that let me turn my phone off, lock it and such but nothing brings open the power menu button with screenshot, recovery mode, airplane mode and such. Is there anything like that out there? That with a press of the button it would open up my power menu options
try rom manager

Quickboot from playstore

Or you can try this app Power Button.

Use "Button Savior" from Play Store.
It is just HW buttons on screen including power button. (Like Nexus On-Screen Keys)
And it has long press power menu also, which shows Screenshot, Airplane, Silent etc.
P.S.
[Free advice]
If you get that button repaired, use something like Proximity Sensor based app which locks and unlocks phone screen. So power button will be used less.
(I know this consumes a bit more battery, but still battery is lot cheap and easy to change than power button)
[/Free Advice]
Press Thanks if helped.
