Remap the power saver key - Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers

Is there any way to change the function of the power saver key? It would be really nice if I could remap it to toggle silent mode or something.

Please respond to this man (or woman, are you a woman ?) ! I found the application "Buttons remapper" to do the trick but I have no idea on the name or ID of the power saving toggle... Is it obligatory to have a rooted phone to do the trick ? (I don't want to lose my warranty
Thanks for the help and support =)

As far as I can see no it can't be remapped

[Q] .com/www. button or custom key to Tab button

Don't get me wrong the .com/www. is a useful button, but I'd rather have a tab button. I was wondering if there was a way to make the .com/www. button or even one of the custom buttons on the physical keyboard turn into a tab button. I'd appreciate any help anyone could give me. (If this is even possible). Thanks!
There is a thread in the dev section about this. Remapping keys is possible by editing the files that contain the layout.
While this is one custom approach and may not suit all your needs, it opens the door to customization for your own purposes.

Awesome, thanks. Didn't know the words I needed to use to find what I was looking for.

Manually Removing Soft-Keys

Is there anyway I can temporarily remove the Soft Keys when I am playing games on my device? Possibly pressing Volume Up & Power (similar to taking screenshots), re-enabling by the same method?
I downloaded Shadowgun last night and found myself pressing the soft buttons by mistake.
Is this in anyway possible?

AOKP has the option...
And I know that isn't what you're asking.
I hate when people post work-a-rounds to something I ask <_<
But...there ya go.
get AOKP rom or codenameandroid rom and both have a power menu option where you can disable it.
You just long press the power key and press the option to disable navigation bar and to reenable it you just long press power key again and then choose to enable.
I am happy with the ROM I have, hopefully there will be a way to port this to other ROMS?
Thanks for the replies though!
GummyNex also has this. I'd say ask your ROM developer if he will add it. Really I think that's the only way to do it. If you had to change it manually how would you get out of Shadowgun to change it back?

I did say in my first post, re-enabling them the same way (Power & Volume Up).

You learn something everyday. I use that ROM and never noticed that option in the power menu. (Or perhaps I noticed it but ignored it because I didn't know what it did).
Thanks!

[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

[Q] Remap home soft key long-press?

Couldn't find anything about this anywhere, so I'm starting a new thread.
Is there a way to remap what application loads when long-pressing the home soft-key? I've remapped what app loads when holding the volume-up key with the screen-off, but I'm looking to have a specific application run when holding the home button soft key, instead of the default "google" option that appears when doing it on the stock ROM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as would the monitors moving this thread to its proper location if it should belong somewhere else :good:
We'll need root.
I wish OEMs would include this level of customization by default. I wouldn't mind having my home button long press either launch my camera or the App Swap app and have my recent button long press switch to the last app.

Thank you. I was hoping there might be a workaround (like KeyPlus) or an app like Home2Shortcut which I used on my SGS5 to accomplish that change. Oh well. Guess I'll just keep doing what I've been doing: patiently waiting for root to drop whenever the dev's involved feel it's ready! Thanks for the quick reply!
