The phone boot when it's plugged to the usb charger. The thing is that when the phone is booted i almost never shut it down, however unlock the lockscreen is inconvenient and plug it the the charger work but it's not a solution

Yes, i know that it's a known problem. The button was broken and has been removed, i tried to changed it but i didn't have the tools to do it that's why i want to find a software solution. I found a workaround for everything except to unlock lockscreen.

Modify the keymapping worked on android, and the same thing should work on ubuntu touch but the files are note writable

Hello everybody,

While i was on distrowatch today, i found out you were still supporting and updating ubuntu touch.
So i decided to try it on my old nexus 5. Everything went well and it is perfectly working.
However, my nexus 5 power button is not working anymore and i wanted to find a way to unlock lockscreen without it.

• I tried to find out about double tap or wave to wake but it does not seem to exist.
• I tried to modify the keymapping and modify the files in /system/usr/keylayout/ but i have a read-only error and i did not succeed to make the files readable.

Does somebody have a solution for my problem ?

Thanks in advance for your answer

Remy
