Button Mapper: Remap your keys v3.35
flar2About this app
Developer Description
Remap hardware buttons to launch any app, shortcut or action
Button Mapper can remap most physical or capacitive keys and buttons, such as volume buttons, some assist buttons, and capacitive home, back and recent apps keys. Button Mapper can also remap buttons on many gamepads, remotes and other peripheral devices.
Root is not required for most actions, however some require an adb command from a connected PC if not rooted. Button Mapper does not work when the screen is off unless your device is rooted or you run an adb command.
A few examples of remapping you can do with Button Mapper:
-long press to toggle your flashlight
-remap your TV remote control
-press to broadcast custom intents, scripts or commands
-long press to open camera and take a photo
-double tap to launch your favorite app or shortcut
-double tap to open your notifications
-swap your back and recent apps keys (capacitive buttons only!)
-use your volume buttons to adjust screen brightness
-long press to toggle "do not disturb" mode
-and much more

This app uses Accessibility services. Accessibility is used to detect when the physical or capacitive buttons are pressed on your device so they can be remapped to custom actions to accommodate your needs. It is not used to see what you type. Button Mapper does not collect or share any of your personal information, it is safe and your privacy is respected.
This app uses the Device Administrator permission. (BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN)
This permission is used to lock the screen if the "Turn screen off" action is chosen. If you want to remove this permission, open Button Mapper, click on the menu (three dots in the upper right corner) and select "Uninstall"

Screenshot action mapped to different button; rating updated! 🩷
Seems okay, some restrictions with the free version but I think it can do most of what I want regardless. Downside is I don't think it overrides the original button functions, they still process followed by a short delay before the reprogrammed function, e.g. if I change the TCL channel button to the power menu: the TCL app will open and a few seconds later the power menu will appear
It's decent. It does the job well with the screen on. And it works with my Chromecast remote! On my pixel 8 pro I tried to follow the manual instructions for screen off actions but I can't execute the script due to permission errors. I paid for the pro version to get volume button media controls but it's limited to single or double presses, which leads to a lot of accidental misfires. I'd prefer a hold to skip. Restore purchases also didn't work on my Chromecast. Mixed feelings overall.
average usefulness. cant map for the on screen back / home / recent apps buttons. even for physical keys, asks money to map camera!
Didn't work. I tried disabling the PTT button on my Umidigi Bison GT. While it let me add functions to the button so it would do multiple things it wouldn't let me disable the default functions. So if it gets bumped, in say a game controller holder, it will bring up the PTT message. If it gets held it will go into SOS mode and minimize the game. Unfortunately this app was not able to help me and I had to pay for pro to find out that it wouldn't work. (Refunded without issue)
