Softkey for Turning Off Screen

[wirenut110]

How can I remap one of the home screen softkeys to manually turn off the display?

Good luck

this program is good but it doesn't allow you to map anything that turns off the display. it only allows you to map to a program.

Any other ideas?

you could map it to xda shutdown(shutoff?) but then that would still be a two button solution...

op, use this. its mapped to longpress powerbutton and you have 3 options/poweroff/softreset/screenoff.

that still requires you to push the same button right, the top button?

if op is looking for the same thing i am that doesn't solve the problem unless I am incorrect.

i gave the op an option to turn screen off without giving up softkey, better imo. he can use a actionscreen that maps to softkey if he wants to use softkey. ill post the actionscreen.
