    remap buttons on m8 pro?

    Hi all. I dropped my m8 pro the other day and it landed smack bang on the power button, shearing it off the board.
    I've managed to switch it back on by holding the button in place and switching it on, so the only damaged part is the power button.
    Question is, can I remap the buttons so either the menu or esc buttons can bring it out of standby, which means I wouldn't need the piwer button any more?
    The little switch on the board totally sheared off and the housing looks cracked, so it's a miracle I even managed to switch it on.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    For PIPO M8Pro with broken power button

    I'm also recently have broken power button, after opened the back cover it seem the switch module has broke down and the only way to power up the unit is to flash new rom. After power up the unit through flasing you need to remap the button (you can search the tutorial if you search this forum, I will provide it if you cannot find it), I remap the menu and esc button to Volume up and down after that install from Google Play app "Fix Broken Power Button" and assign it to either vol up or down ... voila no need for power button. But be careful, never let the battery power run down because to power the unit up again you need to flash new rom.
    I just hope some body could made spesialized ROM that will turn on the unit when charging (if supported) and if it impossible could some one tell us (user with broken power button unit) how to power up manually through hot wire from mother board (if possible and low risk)

      The key layouts are in system/usr/keylayout. Find the file rk29-keypad.kl and experiment with it.
