I've tried following the few videos that were posted on Youtube. Holding down the Volume Down and Power buttons, but all I have pop up on the screen is the volume indicator. Is there some hidden setting, or could it be because I rooted it [which I doubt, but you never know]
Thanks in advance
Edit: I found the quick access button that I can add to the quick settings, but it's going to drive me nuts

I like the quick access button. But there is no secret to the Power + Volume Down, just pressing them at exactly the same time and holding down...works fine for me.

Need help remapping power key. Someone made awesome app called screen off & lock that does crt shutdown. It would be epic if we could remap power key to launch app.
whoa awesome i just downloaded it. the power button remapping would be awesome, but the long press search button isn't half bad. that's what i'm doing now.

I use voice search all the time. I would think the coding couldn't be to hard but I don't know where to look. It would be awesome if anybody could get this to work.
yeah i'm sure a lot of people use the search button, for some reason i never really need it.
with the camera hack that allows photos to be taken with the power button, and while watching videos, the power button locks the screen while keeping it on, so i know there's gotta be a way to get it to launch this activity. i just don't have any experience with this kind of stuff.
edit -
saw an app called galaxy tuner that apparently remaps buttons, but i am unable to mess with my phone while at work. give it a shot maybe?
Hey everyone
as the title says, how can i re enable back button on Clockwork?
it used to work then mustve pressed up*/down on volume rocker a flukey amount of times to shut it off

you have to scroll through the menus a couple of times using the volume buttons till it appears on the screen "back button enabled".
Hope that helps

You can achieve the same result with tapping several times the "menu" button (the left touch button) until you'll see the "back button enabled" notification on screen.
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

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)

Press Thanks if helped.

Hello, is there any way to take screenshots but not pressing power button and selecting 'screen capture'? Like with stock rom with the quickmemo button, or maybe with volume button + power button.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks!

If you have Xposed+Gravity Box, you can configure many key shortcuts to do so. For instance, I configured double press on menu button to take a screen capture (as well as long press this key for Torch).

Just installed Xposed + Gravity Box and did that, thanks for the help!
I want to remap the power button so it toggles NFC when I long press it (only when the screen is on). So far every app I've found is unable to do anything with the power button. I'm using a rooted Lineage OS 18.1.

Thanks, but that app doesn't work either. It says it can't modify the power button on the splash screen.
Would you want any other buttons, power button turns off the display so im not sure about NFC activating?

Lol, I know it sounds silly, but hear me out.
When you hold the power button the phone shows you a menu with the Power menu and, most importantly, card payment. As I don't want to keep NFC on all the time to avoid battery drain, I had an idea to turn on NFC every time I opened my Google Pay card payment menu (power button hold).
Ahh then you try finding an Xposed module?
You’ll find more chances of success in that way
