Disable Power Button Mod
The flashable mod will ONLY work on the E4GT JB 4.1.2 build please do not use this mod on any other build or phone.
Due to the high failure rate of the power button on our older phones, this is a hardware key mod that will disable the power button on our E4GT phones in JB. This only cuts back on the random power button presses of a failing button while the JB rom is booted. I don't think it disables the long press of the power button to do a soft reset as this is not a ROM feature but a hardware feature built into the phone.
Flash this mod in recovery mode.
Please make certain you have a current backup already saved to your phone.
I will not be responsible if your rom does not boot or has any other issues.
___________________________
Brief guide:
For our builds this is a simple edit of two files.
system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl
Place a comment code (#) in front of any line that is still active with the keyword POWER
Example gpio-keys.kl edit
Before:
Code:
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
[COLOR="Blue"]key 116 POWER WAKE[/COLOR]
key 172 HOME WAKE
After:
Code:
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
[COLOR="Red"]# key 116 POWER WAKE[/COLOR]
key 172 HOME WAKE
Note: This principle should work on other phones & builds but your key files may be slightly different. If you successfully edit your phone & build, please share your experience here with others.
Hi!
I `ve got a problem - power button in my ACE2 is down. It`s most likely hardware problem. So that, I want to use the warranty.
But I cannot, due to custom ROM inside.
So that`s where my question come from - how can I install stock ROM on my device? So far, I can`t use ODIN - because I can`t enter DOWNLOAD MODE (no power button = no power menu = no key`s combination)
I see two options:
- an app that go`es to download mode from the interface - any help would do, I cannot find anything in the G.Play
- changing hard keys mapping (f.e. vol up could replace power) - is that possible at all?
I`ve already learned, that hard keys mapping location is in:
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
and mapping looks like this:
key 142 POWER WAKE
key 143 POWER WAKE
key 152 POWER WAKE
key 115 VOLUME_UP
So what can I do to replace this two keys?
Problem solved:
File changed:
system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl
Mapping:
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 116 POWER WAKE
key 172 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
Replacing VOLUME_UP with POWER works just fine.
i've tried disabling system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl
# key 102 MOVE_HOME
# key 127 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
# key 139 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
# key 158 BACK WAKE_DROPPED
# key 172 HOME

Click to collapse
but still the physical back button is working
PS: using stock rom and mi-pop
also deleted qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 in build prop
any other options other than Gravitybox?
thanks in advance
