My Captivate Glide's power button is broken, I was hoping to remap the a hardware key in the keyboard layout folder so that i may use a different key as the power button once the device is on. I was wondering if the change to the layout file would only be applied after boot or if i can use the assigned key to power on the phone as well?

1Mr. Spock's logic suggests: No. As before the device is powered up, how should it read the contents of your keayboard layout folder?– Izzy ♦Nov 30, 2013 at 16:21

@Izzy thanks for the reply, by extension that would mean kernel changes would have no effect either and the only other way would be a hardware modification. As there is no other solution short of repair, keyboard mapping will have to suffice. Thanks again for the reply.– AntDec 1, 2013 at 2:15

That's correct, yes. Unfortunately, short of turning it in for repair, I see no other solution.– Izzy ♦Dec 1, 2013 at 10:20
