Application Description
Button Mapper revolutionizes the way you interact with your device by allowing you to remap hardware buttons to perform a variety of custom actions. With this powerful tool, you can transform your volume buttons and other hardware keys into shortcuts that launch apps, execute commands, or trigger specific actions with just a single press, double tap, or long press. Whether you're looking to enhance your productivity or customize your device's functionality, Button Mapper offers an intuitive solution to remap most physical or capacitive keys, including volume buttons, assist buttons, and capacitive home, back, and recent apps keys. It's compatible with a wide range of devices, including gamepads, remotes, and other peripherals, making it a versatile tool for any user.
One of the standout features of Button Mapper is that it doesn't require root access for most actions, although some advanced features may need an adb command from a connected PC if your device isn't rooted. It's important to note that Button Mapper won't function when the screen is off unless your device is rooted or you've run the necessary adb command.
With Button Mapper, the possibilities for customization are vast. Here are just a few examples of what you can do:
- Long press to toggle your flashlight
- Remap your TV remote control
- Press to broadcast custom intents, scripts, or commands
- Long press to open the 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
For those seeking even more control, the pro version of Button Mapper unlocks additional features such as simulating keycodes, swapping volume keys on orientation change, and customizing haptic feedback, among others.
The range of actions you can map to buttons or keys is extensive, including launching apps, disabling buttons, broadcasting intents, running scripts, toggling the flashlight, adjusting volume or brightness, and many more. Button Mapper supports a wide array of buttons, from physical home, back, and recent apps buttons to volume buttons, camera buttons, headset buttons, and custom buttons on various peripherals.
You can fine-tune your experience with additional options such as adjusting the duration for long presses or double taps, delaying initial button presses, and disabling Button Mapper in specific apps. If you encounter any issues, ensure that the Button Mapper accessibility service is enabled and allowed to run in the background. Remember, Button Mapper does not work with on-screen buttons or the power button, and the available options depend on your device's hardware.
Button Mapper uses Accessibility services to detect when physical or capacitive buttons are pressed, enabling the remapping to custom actions tailored to your needs. It does not collect or share any personal information, ensuring your privacy is respected. Additionally, the app uses the Device Administrator permission to lock the screen if you choose the "Turn screen off" action. If you wish to remove this permission, you can do so easily through the app's settings.
