If anyone could help/create a mod .zip flashable threw CWM for people like me who have a captivate that has a broken power button, (that randomly presses itself and causes all kind of trouble), that will disable the power button inside of CWM/ROM's that would be amazing.
I would gladly donate at my next paycheck.
Already tried the galaxy remapper app, all of them, they don't work... Sadly...

Have you already started using volume wake and a screen off app then? You may just want to open the case and remove the outer plastic button instead. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the key mapping is in the kernel and that's a bit more involved than just pulling out a small piece if rubber/plastic.

Yeah, MIUI has the built in lock power and reboot which is awesome. I'm also using the volume to wake.
And yes, I should have mentioned I have removed the power button, and it still pushes itself... Kinds bites, that's why I would need a script to remove the power buttons command. But eh, you're probably right, it'd be too difficult.

Replacing the power button is a better option and a permanent fix. Unfortunately, it's worth it only in case you can DIY.
Yeah I can do it me self, I fix phones and stuffs for money on the side.
Problem is with the board though I think. Cause removing the button didn't help either.
So I figured if I completely disable the button that would be better.

It's not the plastic button. The switch is the problem.
Yes, that's what I meant by board >…< that's why I figured I need a mod.

You tried a cotton ball and rubbing alcohol? I did that to mine .. Every time I did a battery pull it would come on by it self..

That's not true - my Captivate has SlimBean and I don't see the option for it, and OmniROM doesn't support it either.

I was using 4.2.2-based SlimBean for a long time and Volume Rocker Wake option was definitely there. SuperNexus based ROMs don't include VRW, don't know about OmniROM. Ask about it in OmniROM thread. All Cyanogen-based ROMs have it (HellyBean, Avatar, CyanAOSP, Gamerz, Captivating, etc), also PAC-ROM, SlimBean, C-RoM, Xylon, SaltyBean.
Here is the Slim features diagram:

Look at Display options.

Hey guys, I've been poking using the Gingerbread leaks lately and was curious if anyone knew of a hacked camera with a power button shutter option. What I've seen so far in search seems to be for froyo and I'm not sure if they've actually updated the camera app in gingerbread or if those would be safe. Any info would be appreciated.

If you are asking for any GB rom with hacked camera, which can be used using power button, than you can try Illuminance rom. I am sure other GB roms in dev section also have this feature but I am using Illimuninance 2.1.1 and I can confirm it has it...
You could also take the camera.apk out of illuminance and use that

I think nthknd means [vol-] + [power] - because [vol+] + [power] performs a softreset
(havn't tested the ICS-screenshot-feature yet - because I'm using Screenshot ER Lite since a long time - and I'm happy with it...)
My bad your very right volume down plus power key at the same time will give you a screen shot.. Sorry for the confusion... Hope that helps thanks bud for the correction I hate giving out incorrect information.

The Lite (free) version of the app works great. I have it running on boot and don't really see a reason to turn it off as it hardly drains any battery. I prefer the app instead of having to use the hardware buttons every time I want to do a screenshot, but that's mainly because I'm paranoid about the power/volume button getting used so much that they actually stop working

I'm using the free app with the widget to turn it on/off if needed (and then take a screenshot with the popup-menu and a delay of 15s).
Hey guys!
I recently began to use Roms which is based on stock again, and one of the feautures i miss the most from cm7/miui is the ability to force-close an app with a long press on the back key.
Does anyone know of a MOD or something that can enable this feature on stock roms?
Or can point me in the right direction or something?
Would be awesome to have it on stock roms!!

FC appears when an app is stucked, at least this is happening to me. If I keep pressed back button, it will display a dialog.

On stock roms you can view the running programs through the inbuilt program monitor and close them .

I think it's a feature of CM
I could be wrong

Yes, but this isn't the same, nor as easy.
I'd hope for this feature too, as I'm about to go from a Droid 2 with CM7 to a Droid 4 ... root will give me most of the things I want, except this.
In galaxy s2 you can use jk deluxe settings (search it) to use this function on stock (need root) rom
Settings>Developer options
First activate them at the top, then head to the bottom of the list, the entry furthest down is the one you want.
This should work for any ROM with dev options available, which frankly I think is everyone...

Its a ROM specific function and as far as I know there is not any mods available sadly

Hey guys, I found my power button is not working properly, sometimes ,i have to press couple of time to make it work . does it a captivate defect or the software issue ( rom )
thanks
It is a fairly common hardware defect. You will need to either take it apart to clean it, or get it repaired.

Check this thread about cleaning power button with electronics cleaner, it worked for me.

In root explorer go to system mount system as r/w, then go to usr--keylayout--aries.keypad.kl edit line 115 to delete volume up and replace it with power. Save the file and reboot.

Tried so many things after my power button quit and I think this may have finally solved it!!
Thanks again
I'm having a funny issue with my Cappy power button in the way that it's becoming over sensitive. I sometimes just have to touch it to wake the phone. Also, if I shake the phone hard enough I can wake it. That's kinda cool. The button still clicks, but I'm wondering if it's just dirty. Thoughts anybody?

Either that or the little part holding your button is broken (ripped). Could try taking it apart to take a look.

After that last post I got all adventurous and took apart my Cappy, the outer plastic button is all intact, nothing broken, the very little power button on the motherboard still clicks. Nothing I can see is out of place. Put my battery back in with the phone all apart and the power button wasn't acting over sensitive. This issue of mine is kinda sporadic I might just send my phone to Josh at mobiletechvideos.com seeing as I can't do much about it.
