Not sure I have seen that mod anywhere
It is possible to remap a different hardware button for that, for example I use volume up as my power button

With a soft key it would also be impossible to power on the phone...

does xposed go down to hardwarelevel?

sure you can remapp your power button while android is turned on, due to the layers between hardware and UI. but as soon as it's powered off your power on button should work the normal way.

i don't really know, but im curious

Yes

Look for xposed additions module to remap keys

I use my volume up button for the power button all the time, the only thing it wont do is turn it on, it will wake, send to sleep and long press brings up the reboot menu

Why did you have to do that? Is your power button dying?

Kinda worried now... does this happen a lot on the Z1? The phone can't be that old, it's been out for 12 months!? :confused:

firstly I did because I could. I like playing around and changing stuff

But also when I hold my phone my thumb naturally goes to that spot, so I thought why not change the button..

Ah ok. Very true. The power button's position is a bit awkward in that respect. Bit difficult to press when using just one hand, either left or right.

I guess Sony assumed everyone would use such a big phone with two hands at all times.
