Any way to do this? I tried Button Remapper app, but it didn't work when phone is locked.
Make sure you let the button remapper not closed when the screen is locked (go to the app info)
I didn't even know you could do that....
It is the one of the best feature u can find. In custom ROMs.
EMUI got rid of this feature.

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.

With CM7 you can set the soft buttons to do other functions. For example you can set the search button to a different app or search app. You can set up the camera to use either volume UP, volume DOWN, or Power button to take pics. If you use the power.button to take pics you can then set up the volume UP/DOWN to zoom in/out. I have asked about this in one of the stock roms but never got an answer.

Does anyone have an answer for the stock rom rooted?
I believe they are currently tinkering with the camera app to enable this functionality.
I was wondering if anyone knows a way to change the function of any of the four hardware keys at the button of the device.
For example, I do no use nor like the search key. So I was wondering if there was a way to change it so when I tap on it the applications drawer would open instead.
Any help would be awesome, thanks
I was going to suggest Button Remapper, until I saw that you wanted to open your app drawer with the search button. I used it to make the search button duplicate the menu button action for a while, but ended up changing it back.

I don't have a ton of experience with Tasker, but you might be able to get Tasker to do it.
I will check it out. Thank you

Looks like there is no option to change to open the app drawer. Worth a shot

Sorry to raise an older thread, however, I am curious if you needed to do anything other than install / run the remapper app?
I am trying to get it to work, to no avail. It opens, I see the options, I change the functions from search to camera, save, apply. After I reboot, it still does the search, no camera. The remapper program also sees the 'saved' functions of camera, but still no luck.
I am currently using the paranoid android rom and noticed it has an easy way to enable or disable the hardware buttons.
My question is, is it possible to enable and disable the buttons using either a combination of the volume buttons, or a long press of a hardware button. Reason being is i have a 2 year old who loves using flashcard apps but he's always hitting the buttons and messing everything up. I would also like this because it keeps him out of other apps and calling random people.

Does anyone know how to remap the lock screen button (power button) to operate as a camera shutter button?
I know it's a pretty stupid request, considering the possibility that you might not be able to turn your device off afterwards.
However, when the camera is running, tapping the lock screen button doesn't actually turn off the screen, it locks it while the camera is still running. I'm guessing that this is a special command that the camera app itself activates. If this is the case, is there a way to edit the YP-G1 camera app to use the power button as a hardware shutter button only when the camera app is running?
I'm not looking for a hardware camera shortcut, just a hardware shutter button, because let's face it, it's not easy to take incognito photos when you have to tap the button on the touch screen instead of a hardware button.
There is n app called button remapper (I think) that serves the basic function you're looking for.

While the idea for this app ids close to what I'm looking for, I wonder if there's a way to change the behaviors for certain buttons ONLY within a certain app, not all the time.
