I hate the way power button is positioned on Hermes. I have trouble finding it plus each time I try to use it I accidentally slide keyboard open.
Is there any way to use PTT button as power button instead? I might be able to figure out how to use it to power unit down but is it possible to use it to power unit up while other buttons will still be locked?
Making PTT shut 'er down or suspend it is really easy, but I've never seen a way to make it power on with any button besides power.
The power button on HD is in an inconvenient position and hard to press.
Is it possible to use any other button (like Vol-Down) to power off and on?
I tried AEButton, but it does not seem to have an option to "power-on".
Thanks
Power Off would be possible, however to Power On the device you always need to press the configured power button. This is since AEButton is a software solution and does not alter the hardware settings. Thus making it only run while Windows Mobile is on (by altering the Windows Settings), and since when the device is off WinMo isn't running, so it won't work while the device is off.

It's supposed to be somewhat difficult ...
If you don't already know, virtually ALL power buttons are somewhat hard to press/use. It's supposed to be that way. If they were easier to press, you could easily power off your phone while it's in your pocket by accidentally hitting the volume up or down keys, or any other accidental push.

I actually meant the state into which the device goes when you press the power button once (Sleep, suspend ... whatever that is called, although this state is sometimes called power-off), and not complete power-off (by holding the power button).
In this Sleep/Suspend, is it not possible to remap the button?
I mean that it is still able to receive calls in this state, so something is running. But not WinMo?

You are right for accidental presses. However that can be taken care by assigning (if possible) a double press instead of single.
Oh, and I am sorry, I did not mean full power off, only sleep/suspend.
For PDAs, such a button placement may be ok, as you anyway have to use both hands to hold the PDA and take out/use the stylus.
But for this phone, single hand use is important. I dont use the stylus most of the time.

to power on with up/down control, change DefaultKeyLock to 0 in registry.

Thanks!! That's almost does it, but for the double press.
I added single press of Vol-Dn in AEB to Today Screen, and double press to a MortScript with PowerOff command.
Now to see if it accidentally comes on in the pouch...
Basically, my power button is screwed. It is constantly held down, so I cannot lock/unlock my phone and everything else you use the button for. I realised the other day that I don't press the optical sense button down...at all. So I wonder, is it possible to turn that button into my power button? and just disable the power button all together.
I have a wileyfox swift 1 with lineage os 15.1 with a temperamental power button. I have enabled the volume button to wake device feature however when I listen to music and use the volume button to unlock the phone the volume also goes up. Does anybody else have this issue? A potential fix could be to only change the volume after its woken with the volume button.
Since I want to use my power button less has anybody used tasker to create an on screen/gesture controlled task to simulate a power button press.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is double tap to wake in the foxy kernel found here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/wileyfox-swift/development/kernel-foxy-v0-65-t3363288
So my power button pops off, and the replacement in Indonesia is nonexistence. I've been using "button mapper" app and changed the up volume button as my power button, but when my phone sleep/lock I cannot use the volume button anymore. I have to rely on "raise to wake" and "double tap to wake", but those things are slow and sometimes acting up in android Q
Is there any way to remap my home button? what should I do, and if I should root my phone what is the next thing to do?
Thank you very much
