I was wondering if there was a way to re-map the power button to the OK button so when i want to turn on my x1 screen instead of pressing the power button i press the Ok button or maybe another button?
would this be possible? thanks,
Not sure about the re-mapping, but there's a setting under settings>system>key lock that lets you wake up the device by pressing any hardware key.
I need this too!
Have you tried with one of the several button/key mapping tools available?
Did you tried long pressing end call button? Mine locks screen...
Cheers!
Edit: Try AE Button Plus to map your keys.
Power button stopped working on my captivate..any ROM/app to use volume button as alternative to power on? Only way right now is plugging up the charger right now
Thanks!

CM 7 has an option for waking up the phone with volume up/down, But u cannot switch on the phone using the volume rockers.
Same thing happened to me awhile ago.
I used Rom manager to flash cm7 and it has an option to wake the phone with volume buttons and there is an app called lock screen tools and I have it set to my search button to turn the screen off. And it works pretty nicely
Hello!
My power button is broken, there is a way to remap other button to work as a power button? I'm using the Nova launcher that have a shortcuts section, so i puted the long press on menu button to run a app, "LockScreen" that locks the screen But it only works on the launcher, if i open another app, it doesn't work. In the System configs i desabilited to open the search engine if i long press the menu button. There is a way to make this works with all the apps? I'm using CM 10.2.
By the way, there is a way to power on the cellphone without pressing power button?
Thanks and sorry for my english!

I think that you can power it on by attaching it to charger and usb connected to pc. I remember that lot of people coplained that their phone can't be charged offline. But I am not sure if it is when you try to turn it off (and instead you will get reboot) or it works when the phone is offline.

I can't remember about CM10.2, I am on Liquid Smooth based on KitKat now, and it has harware buttons remap. And it does not have option for lock screen, but you can install some app for that and map it to use its process.

Thanks for the reply! Well... I'm using CM 10.2 and i can't find any option to remap the buttons, but i found one app on the PlayStore that makes what i need! "Button Savior Non Root" (Can't post links ) It adds virtual keys on the screen, and now i can lock the screen while i run apps!
But there is a way to turn on the phone without pressing the power button? If my battery get out of charge i'll have some problems to turn it on again... :silly:
Thanks again!
My brother has Samsung Galaxy S Advance and some problem too. Power button doesn't work so we couldn't turn on the device. If we did once, we will install an application which change the properties of Volume button and Power button. Is there any way to turn on the device?
Thanks.
SOLVED Press Menu button with Volume Up long time and I saw repair menu, select restart and turn on!

Hey,
I'm using XT1060 Verizon DE GSM Unlocked.. Was thinking if we can remap the power button to run a app or other action instead of using it to turn off the screen. I don't use the power button as I prefer using proximity sensor to turn on my screen via GravityScreen.
Help?!
Thanks!!
Try xposed addition
