Help Is there a power button app that brings up the system power menu?

[catchingup]

I'm looking for an app that brings up the built-in power menu (the one that pops up when you press the power button.)

Is there such an app?

I'm rooted on CM13.

Simple Reboot
Fast Reboot
Quick Reboot
Reboot Manager
Terminal Emulator

That's just the tip of the iceberg.

Link2sd does it too.

all the power button apps I've seen or installed in the past seem to use their own custom menus.
Also, the power off option seems to power down way faster than stock, so I dunno if it's a proper shutdown

I just want a soft power button, nothing more, which brings up the default stock power menu.
A minimalist app with no bloat, no ads, no 'donate' button, etc.

Pretty sure you need to be rooted for an app to do this...or have the app created (signed) as a system app and installed in your /system partition (again, it takes root to do that).

The ShutdownThread() method that would have to be called to do a clean shutdown (called by the stock power menu) is an internal function.

It's interesting to note that root apps (as far as I know, including mine) that can do this, use the "reboot -p" command which does an immediate (i.e., non-clean) shutdown.

I looked at Macro Droid and all it can do is power the phone OFF. does not provide a menu.

I'm rooted already.

yeah, that dirty shutdown is what I don't want.

You would think it would be simple code to bring up the stock power menu..... hold down a power widget, boom, stock power menu pops up.
But I have found no such app.

I tried to build / include the "clean" shut down in my root toolkit app, but ran into a bunch of hurdle in trying to include / invoke the ShutdownThread() method...

That clean method turns off the radios, shuts down the app environment, un-mounts the file systems, etc.

If you are rooted, try Link2sd, even the free version has a power menu with all features.

You can use button saviour to do this. Long press on the on screen screen off button brings up the power menu. You can have this as the only function if you want.

YES!

This does what I want. Brings up the stock power menu.
I only wish I could keep just the power button function of Button Saviour and delete the rest of the bloat.

Long Press is trapped my Nova Prime on my phone.... and mine is rooted, it don't work at all with the free version.

guess I will have to get the upgrade?

I think this is the app you all are looking for, even for no root users

Just enable power dialog box in 'buttons'
