[Request]Widget on the screen to call power button menu

I was wondering if there is any widget/application or someone could make the application to call power button menu instead of pressing the button each time.
I already searched the market and xda but seems there is nothing

I'm looking for the exact same thing and wasn't able to find it too!
Would be very nice, if someone could code a widget!

If there would be one,it should be nice.

Thanks for your attention, there are some widgets on the market which can do reboot and recovery or even download mode. but it was just an idea to create a new widget to popup power menu, I think that would not be so difficult for programmers as they are only going to call a phone function.

much easier to use power button if they change it to search button

I actually agree on this, my power button is quite fiddly to press, and having it at the front would solve that. But there is also the matter of accedently pressing it.

for you
Why would you need that may I ask?...The search button is called search button for the function of using search. Is this your real idea/question or your power button is not functioning and you need to use an alternative?

ive been in LG optimus one last time..
my search button is useless and now ive got this XPERIA PLAY and AGAIN
my search button is useless and i dont need this becoz i dont use it..
thats why i ask this if someone will make it
becoz power button is far to press

Here is how you do it
Download RootExplorer or a similar app that can edit /system/
Navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/
Open keypad-zeus.kl as a text file
Near the bottom, change
Code:
key 217 SEARCH
to
Code:
key 217 POWER
Save the changes made, and reboot your phone.

Be careful, this also makes the search button the screen lock button if I'm not mistaken.

Have you had success with this working?
Also in regards to the keymapping, don't you need to change the power button to search and the search button to power...what's the key code for the power button?

Do you can also map the search button as recent apps button in this way?

[Q] Screen Shot not working

Using the latest AOKP from TASK and KToonesz, but I am not able to use the screen shot function. Am I missing something here? Before I had to only hold down the home button and power for the function.
Thank you for your help in any way.

Power + Volume down

You need to enable it in ROM control. Menu> settings> ROM control > power menu > screenshot. You can also set it as a shortcut if you use the nav bar
Edit: I'm sorry. Are you looking for just the quick method of screenshot or any working method? Because you can just hold power like you were shutting down the phone after enabling it in ROM control.

[DEV REQUEST] Pause Button

[DEV REQUEST] Pause Button
Hi developers ,
I am really thankful for all your contributions that you've made for all of us , I am coming with a new request to see if this is possible ,
I've got mod which helps me to make the Volume rocker button on note to work as previous and next tracks changer when screen is off ,
If this is the case i am looking forward to check with you guys if its possible that when the screen is off can we make the power button for long press as Play Pause ?

This should be possible but power button could actually switch off the phone as well.
this is XXXDDDAAA

Hey, i dont know much about those things, but i dont think menu button would be a good choice since it is a capacitive button... I'd rather use the home button, cause theres no further use on longpressing it on the lockscreen?
peace

Remap multitask to menu?

Any way to do this without root on the Note 4? I believe HTC offers this option on their M7 and M8 phones, so I really hope Samsung did the same since they switched it.

yes please! I believe it can be done but uncertain without decompiling the app doing some recoding and then recompile the results into a .apk file.

Hold the button down....it's menu with a long press of the multitasking button

haha me too i want menu one touch menu and recent long press of home button

I didn't realize the back button still did menu with a long-press. Glad to have learned that rather than having to search the 4 corners of the screen to see where the menu in whatever app is hidden.

When root is found, it should be a simple thing to flip the functionality of it right?
Also, anyone else wish there was a flashlight quick toggle in the notification tray?
