[Q] Possible to bind a hardware key to hang up?

I'm missing the 1.6 "feature" of the caller application hanging upp when I press the power button. Is it in any way possible to configure the phone to hang up when I press a hardware button? Preferably I'd like to bind it to the "back" button, since that's the one I'm least likely to accidentally press.

instead of changing the FOCUS button, use the key 116 that has POWER on it, change POWER to ENDCALL and change WAKE to WAKE_DROPPED, save it, restart phone and there you go
Press the "back" key. I think it will end the call in progress.

Back key only seems to work before a call has been answered, but during the call it does not work.

buttons being pressed in my pocket

Hey guys, is there a way to put the screen to only turn on with the power button?? because in my pocket, the other buttons are pressed, so it's using battery and sometimes stop the music i'm listening. The other buttons that i'm speaking are: Search, return, home and menu. I'm using mik's v6.5.8 with fserve's goldenleaf.
I guess u can! Go to cm setting --lockscreen-- unlock options nd edit as u want ...;-) don't for to press thanks

Read here.
I'll upload the files, simply put them in /system/usr/keylayout/ (Overwrite existing) and set permissions to 777.
you've made it lanis! thanks, you've helped me a lot =D
now, not to detract from this threads original purpose... but it seems as if the OP got his answer, but while we are on the subject of keys and their functions.
Can we make the search button a pause / play button? with CM7 vol up and down are volume and skip buttons, but there is no physical button for pause play, it would be really nice to have that.
Nice wish they had a thanks button on this app that works great I have been meaning to do this for a while

Simply edit the 2 files I've uploaded (You can even edit the original ones) and replace each key's function with the function you want. (Ex. key 222 MENU)

ya i figured that out with a lil bit of googling. So i now have the search for pause n play with out waking hte phone.
But i would like it to act like the vol up and down buttons in CM7. where they have to be long pressed to skip... id like to have to long press to pause and play on the search, and ONLY when the screen is off / phone is locked like the vol up and down buttons.
dang it would be so awesome to have long press like described above.... if anyone could point me to the vol up and down rocker script that does their long presses i could go from there.

[Q] Saving our beloved physical home button

Is there a way you can hard-coded, let say the left capacitive button to act as a home button when you long-pressed it? especially on ICS roms that for let say you want to see the recent apps(home button long-pressed) alternatively you'll just long-press the left capacitive button = profit?
My home button is being quirky nowadays(6 months owner) and I don't want to bring it to Service Center just to repair that.. The problem is not groundbreaking(not yet) but this will save me in the future and probably others will so
It's not exactly what you want, but maybe Button Savior will do for you?
I think capacitive buttons are more likely to stop working than the physical buttons. My friend has a motorola Milestone and his back button stopped working in a month. Dont know if it is a bug

Still need to use home-button I'm in CM9 right now and the home button is really ****ed-up especially when I'm multitasking and I really love how ICS implement the task-switching/killing "Recent app"

Well that's a different phone but maybe that can apply to ours. What I mean is that sometimes my home button when I long press and then released it, it double registers the pressing so it's like you pressed again the home button
I am also looking forward for a solution to this. As I also want as much as possible not to use the home button. I quite feel that somehow it is already degrading. Showing press results that are not what I specify. Like for example clicking does 2 clicks thus entering 2 directories in CWM.
Button Savior could have been perfect if the recent apps it shows is the firmware's version. It shows its built-in recent apps instead.

remapping hardware touch buttons

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?

Did you explored settings?
Usually custom ROMs allows users to change behavior of every buttons.
