I dont like the default [Vol Down] + [Power] to trigger screenshot but cant seem to find a way to turn this off. Is there an easy way to do this and for that matter control functions of all hw buttons that doesnt involve ROOT or another launcher ?? (Knuckle for screenshot is great btw !). Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I'm constantly making screenshots too.

Is it possible to use central circle button to switch on the display of the PDA instead of use ON/OFF button?
Thank you.
would like to know if the center button can be map as the power button too.
Its not as you asked, bight might be worht considering:
If you go to settings>system>Lock Buttons and choose do not lock buttons, then all the buttons including the center button will trun on the screen.
Yes. Now every time I want to switch on the display I have to push the upper ON/OFF button and I think it would be better if i could do it by pressing the central circle button?
Thank you
Yes omar32, but i do not like this option because if all buttons are enabled, it is very easy to push them accidentalty and to do calls, etc that you do not want. I want that when the PDA is deactivated, i can switch display on with ON/OFF button or pressing the central circle button, but with others buttons disabled.
Thank you
I agree with you guys. If diamond is a phone why it can behave like a real normal phone. Using this stupid ON/OFF button is very inconvenient and annoying! I miss normal lock keypad-I mean like in SE press * and lock button(s0ft button) to unlock in reverse direction.To get this feature I have to use 3d party software like s2u2 which does the thing but destroys other like receiving MMS etc. I'm getting bored of this phone ale looking for all the time for the compromise between one feature I need and another.Just wanted a PHONE with possibilities of PDA not PDA with option of PHONE
So, is it no possible to use central circular hw button to switch on the display?

Hi
I can tell you how I "resolved" this problem possibly closest to the "normal" phone
First: in settings /system -> key lock -> set: DON't lock the buttons
Second: because pressing ON/OFF button is very inconvenient we have to bypass it..There are few programs *.exe which does exactly the same what ON/OFF button. So search the web for turnOff.exe and map it with soft key manager to any of the soft buttons you like(right or left).This lets you turn off the phone without pressing ON/OFF button on the top.
Third: Because now buttons are not locked it's easy to wake up the phone in the pocket and press sth on the touch screen so you have to use s2u2 for locking/unlocking. And that's all you have to do is spend some time on configuring s2u2 this is the hardest thing here.
Now you can wake up the phone with any button you like and unlock it in iPhone style(thanks to s2u2), when want to lock it you press the soft button mapped to turnOff.exe and that's it- you got your phone locked and turned off.
If somebody knows a different way to do it please share with us
I'm posting this topic cause I couldn't find any answer to my question which is:
Is it possible to make my home button behavior as a power button while at lockscreen?
I would like to turn my screen on and off with only home button. I can turn it on just with home btn but when I want to turn it off I have to move my thumb to power button what is for me not as comfortable as it shuold be. And if it's not possible than mayby there's a way to reduce the "lock screen on" time?
I'm running on the latest Galnet 6.0.1.0
Thanks in advance for answer ; )
search for an app called 'button remapper' in google, i think its got that feature
hmm... thanks for that, but it's not exacly what I need.
It's partially is but i wanted to change home button behavior only on lockscreen. For now I made my home button to work as power and power as home. It seems that I don't need to change the whole behavior but only to add one functionality that make my home button work as power one while being at lockscreen.
I know it's just a whimsy but would be nice to make it work as I want ^^
And again. Thanks for your help !

Its not 'whimsy' lol i too would like such feature, I have no idea how to do it though. Think we need some help from a clever dev !!
Hi,
When I try to do a print screen using menu + volume down, the picture that is captured includes the "silence ringtone" window that pops up (relating to the pressing of the volume key). Can the display of volume be switched off?
Also, is there any way to select different key combinations? I am using a soft key for menu (Button Savior), and hitting that with the volume down key is more miss than hit - about 2 in 25 attempts!
BTW, I am using MIUI 1.8.5 ROM.
TIA
Elkay
I even cannot do screen shot by using Menu+Volume- buttons. Actually I want to know if there is a way to define sofkey in Button Savior.

I haven't been able to repeat a capture, but I have 2 screenshots as evidence it is possible.
I haven't found any way of defining a softkey in Button Savior.

Hey guys, i have a captivate and im running ICS AOKP with nova launcher prime. My power button is near broken. It always sticks and requires multiple presses before a response. Is there a way to open power options (you know, it brings up the shutdown, airplane mode and reboot options) without pressing the actual power button with nova launcher or a google play app?
Eh...
I dont know of anything. That darn power button is a problem for SOO soo many people. However, something that may help you is going into setting, go to display, and hit volume rocker wake. This will allow you to wake up the device by pressing the volume buttons. Also, if you need to go into reboot options, try rom manager. You can access recovery from there. This is the easiest method I have heard about this issue.
Thanks for your advice. To be more specific, i wanted to be able to shutdown when i wanted. I had forgotten about the rom manager thing.
Also, something cool: If you use Nova launcher, you can change a setting to make the phone wake with the vol up/down. Also, if you buy the donate version and pair it with the app "screen off and lock", you can sleep and lock your device by tapping anywhere on the home screen twice. Its really nifty. Doing that makes you not even need to press the power button anymore....except when you want to shutdown, restart, or take a screenshot.

There are several roms floating around in the development section that have extended toggles. Usually this feature has reboot, recovery, and power off as options. I can't say which (if any) of the ICS roms have the extended power menu.
I can also say that MIUI's standard toggles have reboot and power on it.
Could you use QuickBoot for rebooting options?
Use my latest ROM
It has Search button remapped as Power. Both short and long press work!
I don't even use Power button anymore - Volume buttons to wake up!
Additional bonus - Search now works as Camera shutter!
ROM is in my sig.
Hi Guys,
Since I came from a S10, where I had an extra Bixby Button, wich I remapped then to pause/play - wich was also really useful:
to take or end calls fast or quickly stop the audiobook or music, when someone talks to me etc.
Or to quickly activate the flashlight.
So after looking for a while, I found a good way:
Just install this app:
Button Mapper: Remap your keys – Apps bei Google Play
Remap Hardware-Tasten starten jede App, Verknüpfung oder Aktion
play.google.com
And configure your buttons as you wish.
There is also an root Function, wich allows you to use it while its on screen off, wich is really nice.
Just check the screenshots here or in Playstore, there are many other things you can do.
For me personally I choose:
VOL UP HOLD = fast forward
VOL UP 2x = flashlight
VOL DOWN HOLD = rewind
VOL DOWN 2x = PAUSE/PLAY or take/end a call fast
I might change it to next song or before song, but for now, this is good for me, as Iam listining more audiobooks.
Ok have a nice one.
Best regards

You can achieve all of that and more using Tasker.
As the other commenter stated, Tasker is a much better app for this as it is popular and well maintained so bugs are few and far between.
As for needing to remap buttons, I find the buttons do exactly what I want them to do already and thats with bixby button remapped to be a camera button. Can do this in bixby without any extra apps.

@richhaynes
Yes i use Tasker but i think Tasker can't detect those buttons by its own, so i use (AutoInput) plug in to trigger those buttons.
If I'm wrong please tell me how.
Thanks.
