Default Remap Hardware Buttons

Hey,

The power button on my TP2 doesn't work anymore (bad contacts) and I'm able to get around this using WinMo with a simple keyboard remapper to move the functionality to another key. Obviously this isn't a HUGE issue, but I don't have a dedicated home button.

Just wondering if there is any way to do it - even if I had to remap one of the keys on my kb to home would be nice.

In Android your power button is actually the end call button, just like on Android devices.

thanks for the reply reefer. Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough then.

The end call button does indeed turn the phone on/off, but the power button that turns the screen on and off in WinMO is the home button in Android, and it doesn't work on my phone (due to me dropping it a few times...)
