Power button broken..help please?

[dmilota]

Hello everyone.. I have an OG Droid running LGB 2.4.
My power button is permanently depressed, it wont work the screen off or on anymore, and I I'm holding out on upgrading currently. I was wondering if there's a way to swith the power button operation with the camera button? ATM I have the volume buttons set to wake the phone, but I'm worried if my phone shuts off I wont be able to turn it back on :*( i think the volume buttons only wake it if its already on...is there any option/setting that will make it so the camera or even volume button will turn the phone on from being off, so I don't have to use the power Button on the top of the phone ? Any help/advice is much appreciated, thanks In advance!

I read about something like this, but it might have only been to remap the wake function to the volume rockers as you have now. I wish I would have printed out the post, I think it was over at cyanogenmod forums.

If you can't find it, let me know.

EDIT: Nope it was here. A quick google search for "remap power key on droid" gave this thread as the top hit:

Power Button Broke - Want To Remap To Camera Button

Note though that one poster found it wonky.

good luck

p.s., BEFORE you make this edit, make SURE you perform a nandroid backup FIRST!
