I have root, lsposed. I want an app/hack to change if possible the power button simple click action (to run a custom app instead of turn off screen). But probably this is very difficult, so any app to change long click action. For double click i already know how.
Thanks, if anyone knows.
I'm using button mapper : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton to change the volume keys order when rotating the tab. This app could be, what you looking for.

HI,
Is there a way to remap buttons so that another button besides power can wake or put the phone to sleep? Seem like using one button for this function will fail over time. I tried using widget locker but it didn't seem to work. I read that widgetlocker has some issues with the S2, so I chalked it up to that. By the way, I'm on my corporate Exchange server, so not sure if that plays into this some how.
Thanks

Here is a link where you can download a small app and install
it into your phone. It's called "ButtonRemapper" and it can remap
all 4 softkeys as well as the power and volume keys too.

Here is the ButtonRemapper app itself: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...1&d=1295720224

Tried it a little while ago. Only works for the capacitive keys.
What about this app? You can decrease 50% of the power button used

Hi,
How to activate the "Home button" to turn on the phone?
With my Xperia Arc, I can turn on the phone with the "Home button".
With my Xperia S, it's impossible to turn on the phone with the "Home button"
I must use the power button on top, this is much less practical...
One idea ?
Very Thanks alot

There is NO way to activate it because it is not a physical home button. The home button will be functional when the O.S is loaded. On the other hand The Xperia Arc has a physical button to trigger the power on/off switch on the circuit board.
It's much better this way. Before I had problems with my X10 turning on in my pocket because of the home button being accidentally pushed.

Is most agree. I miss my home button wake up too.
Can it realy be true that it can't be software programmed to wake up on home button. Someone create a app that can do it. Or swipe all 3 buttons from left to right could be cool feature to wake it up. Why didn't do that.

I can't recommend wiget locker high enough for using the volume buttons or camera button for waking the phone - works perfectly.

Not necessarily true. The Nexus S home buttons were capacitive just like the Xperia but CM9 had an option to wake the device on with them.
It may well be just as possible on the Xperia, just needs someone to make it work like the CyanogenMod team did with the Nexus S
Wouldn't that be an additional drain on the battery to keep those buttons active during standby? Wake by volume keys would be far more useful, and do-able.

Power button - camera button - volume buttons... meh... it's still not the same as home button
It's more natural to press home button and then unlock the phone...

I like using volume button because I can wake the phone up by one hand. With my small hand now press the power button by one hand is not comfortable.
Double click on volume button would be good too.
Can you try using another launcher ro check if volume buttons are responding when screen is locked...

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?

Since Android 4.0, Google has declared war on the menu button and all devices come out with Recents - Home - Back buttons.
Samsung for some reason decided to move forward with the menu button.
Would it be easy to remap the left capacitive button and make it show the recents instead of the menu action?
Does it really bother you that much to keep the hardware-button pressed down for like 1 second to display the 'Recent' list?

It bothers me, that much
It bother me that much as well - it's just slow.
I think I'd prefer the mod to be double-click home button though, since I rarely use S Voice and it's no hassle to find and click the icon for it whenever I want to use it.
This bothers me too
Would be nice to have it on the menu button. Even an app/shortcut on the homescreen for it would be nice.
I wonder also if there is a way to limit the recent lists as well, if I don't check it sometimes the list can be massive - would be nice to limit this to like 5 items or something.

Anyone who used the CM10 on screen nav buttons, knows how much better it is to have the recents key available on a beast like the sgs3.
I wish we could change it but I am afraid this will never be possible on a samsung rom

open up Generic.kl in /system/usr/keylayout
change

That's half working. It does work as APP_SWITCH but Android doesn't recognize the lack of the MENU button so it's doesn't show the settings buttons that are needed in most applications.
cm10 has implemented the button remap feature. now you can easily change the menu button long press to recent apps in cm10

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
