ICS A7 Search Key to Power Key

Hi,

Karbonn A7 ICS. Now you can use search key of your A7 as power key.
Follow the procedure...

1. Download zip file and extract it.
2. Open terminal/Command prompt.
3. Connect your phone to PC via USB.
4. Run following commands.

c:/> adb devices
c:/> adb pull /system/usr/keylayout/7x27a_kp.kl
now copy this file on a safe place. So that if anything goes wrong you could be able to restore it.

now open folder where you have extracted the zip file. The extracted file will be of same name as "7x27a_kp.kl"
c:/> adb push <path to file 7x27a_kp.kl> /system/usr/keylayout/

Now reboot your phone. You will be able to use your search key as power key.

Thanks.

Hi,

As replied earlier according to this file your phone's search key should work as search key.
If can send please zip and send all the files in that folder.
Create a folder and cd to that folder then...
Use command

C:/> adb pull /system/usr/keylayout/

This command will featch all the files and then zip them and upload.
