[Q] Broken power button - any way to remap the function? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys,
As the title says, my power button is broken. I'm currently using the volume rockers and the home key to turn the screen on and off. Is there any way to remap the power button function to the other keys?
Thanks!

Well if you are rooted and on a rom with a navigation bar you can put the power button on that, long press brings up the the menu too. Also, for turning on the screen, ktoonsez kernel has swipe to wake. Slide show across the screen and the phone wakes up.

What about if my phone is dead and I'm trying to turn it on?

Remapping comes only when phone is booted up. I don't think there is a way to remap it when turned off without hardware or core firmware built in into motherboard being modified.

Why not send it someplace to have it fixed . I don't recall it being very expensive and probably is under warranty

disable capacitive buttons

Hi all, I was wondering: is there a ROM that will allow me to disable both capacitive buttons and remap the home button for Google now, svoice or anything else?
Or maybe an app that will give me the ability to do it.
I want to be able to use a navbar like the gnex and totally disable the back and menu capacitive buttons.
Thanks!
There's a how-to thread in Android Development for that, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823806

Volume down and the home button? When I try all I get is the quick remote thing pop up at the bottom. Is it just a matter of timing?

Should be volume down and power, not home. Just press both at roughly the same time and hold.

Did it stop working after using CM11 for a while? Did it work on stock? It could be a hardware problem. The softkeys (Nexus-styled buttons) what do you mean by failed?
Yes!its stopped working after using it for a while!I enabled soft keys !but its too not responding.!!!!

Seems like a software problem.
Do you use GravityBox? If so, uninstall it and see if it helps... you might need a clean reinstall of CM11---that means you have to wipe /system first, but you don't have to wipe /data.
My home botton is not working but when I press it hadly it start functioning after 1min.
