Deactivate volume buttons possible? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I gave the Galaxy Nexus to my father. Everytime he takes it out of the leatherbag he accidentally touches the volume keys.
Is there a way to deactivate the volume keys, so the ringer cannot be changed, but the volume when phoning can be changed?

If you have root privileges just edit /system/usr/keylayout/tuna-gpio-keypad.kl.
key 114 UNKNOWN
key 115 UNKNOWN
Backup the file before.

Installing gravitybox via exposed add-on will give you full control over the volume buttons + more.
Eg.
Set it to only change media volume by default.
Remove annoying beeping sound when pressing volume buttons.
Expanded on screen volume controls for ringer/media/notification/alarm/in-call.

You might be able to help me sir.
Is there a way to map these hardware keys to preform different actions? If possible I'd like the power button to go to the home screen.

Yep. Just check Generic.kl (same folder) for a full list of commands. In your case:
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 116 HOME
PS I have edited my previous message.

Setting key 116 to HOME didn't work. After a reboot my power button just didn't do anything. Even long holding didn't make the power off screen open. I reverted and it works fine again.

Here is working. Make sure you have deleted WAKE. The string it's just:
key 116 HOME
EDIT: Try this http://d-h.st/xFp

[MOD] Button Remaping

I have been searching to fix my broken back key(it only activates when i push on it hard) and came across this thread. Here is a modified version for the ns4g.
How To:
All the commands for the buttons are in
Code:
/system/usr/keylayout
"cypress-touchkey.kl" is for the 4 main buttons
"herring-keypad.kl" includes all of the exterior buttons including the capacitive buttons, but the action only changes for capacitive buttons if you edit the action in cypress-touchkey.kl.
Here all of the actions that you can replace an action with:
"Power", "Home", "Menu", "Back", "Search", "Volume up", "Volume down", "Camera", "Focus", "Endcall", "Call", "Media Play Pause", "Media Stop", "Media Next", "Media Previous", "Media Rewind", "Media Fast Forward", "Dpad center", "Dpad up", "Dpad down", "Dpad left", "Dpad right"
For me, I will be changing the search key to go back instead of searching.
Code:
adb shell
Code:
cd /system/usr/keylayout
Code:
vi cypress-touchkey.kl
*for windows users notepad can be used to edit these files*
Code:
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 102 HOME VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
key 217 SEARCH VIRTUAL
key 217 is the search key so
Code:
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 102 HOME VIRTUAL
key 158 MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE VIRTUAL
key 217 BACK VIRTUAL
As you can see I also changed the back key to play/pause music.
**You can also use a root file explorer such as es file manager to do this. **
Reboot to apply changes

Home button + back soft key with Froyo and Gingerbread (2.3.3, 2.3.4)

But if you press home first it would make you go back home.
Where as, when you press power first, there's a delay and then quickly press home to screensot. Or not you lock the phone.
LOL
Hahaha
I hate the feeling when you discover something cool then everybody knows about it lol

Since we can't pull the battery...

Just picked up my Nexus 7 and plan to root. I have never owned a device that didn't have a removable battery. Whenever I have an issue with boot loops on my devices with removable batteries, I can just pull the battery but I am unsure of how to accomplish this with my N7. What do you guys do to power off the device if stuck in a boot loop?

I think holding down the power button for about 10-15 seconds will power down the device.
There is a combo
press power button and vol - (down ) for 5 sec ~
You'll reboot the device
For the recovery all buttons (vol+ vol - and power) when off

Actually, it is just vol- and power to enter the bootloader.
