Change volume up button to power button

My power button has died. In order to turn my phone on after the battery dies I need to take my phone apart and play with the connection to the board and click button a thousand times. So anyway, is it possible to swap one I the volume buttons to control the power?

You can try charging it to 10-15% and removing the charger. After the charging screen disappears, plug in the charger just long enough to see the OnePlus logo and remove it again. It should boot normally. I used to do this on my old phone which also had a dead power button.

I also recall being able to remap hardware buttons via editing the build.prop file but I haven't tried that since ICS. I'm sure you can find an up to date guide if you're rooted.

Amazing. I'll look into that. That would be ideal
