DownloadButton Mapper: Reimagine Your Hardware Buttons
Tired of your phone's default button functions? Button Mapper lets you remap your volume buttons and other hardware keys to launch apps, shortcuts, or execute custom actions. Control your device with single, double, or long presses.
This powerful app supports a wide range of physical and capacitive buttons, including volume controls, certain assist buttons, and capacitive home, back, and recent apps keys. It even works with many gamepads, remotes, and other peripherals!
Key Features:
While root access isn't always necessary, some actions require an ADB command from a connected PC if your device isn't rooted. Screen-off functionality also depends on root access or an ADB command.
Here are just a few possibilities:
- Long press: Toggle flashlight, open the camera and take a photo, activate "Do Not Disturb" mode.
- Double tap: Launch your favorite app, open notifications.
- Single press: Broadcast custom intents, scripts, or commands; swap back and recent apps keys (capacitive buttons only).
- Volume button remapping: Control screen brightness, adjust music playback.
