Default Search Key Function

Is there any possible way to change the search key function to be the power instead of search. I am on cm9dx2 and I tried the button remapper APK and it didn't work it would reboot every time I hit apply with no results.

You can change it by modifying the file tegra-kbc.kl located in /system/usr/keylayout. I forget what to change. Let me get back to you on that.

EDIT: Ok, change the line that says

key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED

to

key 217 POWER WAKE

Then reboot for it to take effect.

Galaxy Nexus / HP TouchPad (Both on Jelly Bean)
Droid X2
Palm Pre Plus
Palm Centro
Everything before that doesn't matter.

I think we should have a sticky with this and other key layout options, we are a year and then some into this phone and I'm sure everyone who is still on thier first dx2 are all feeling the power button start to die

My button is definitely wearing down. Its not so clicky anymore. It still works though. But its good to know that if it does completely go out, I have this option.
