About this app

Button Mapper makes it easy to remap custom actions to your volume buttons and other hardware buttons. Remap buttons to launch any app, shortcut or custom action with a single, double press or long press.

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

Troubleshooting:
-Make sure Button Mapper accessibility service is enabled and allowed to run in the background

-The options shown in the app depend on the buttons available on your phone. Not all phones have home, back and recents buttons!

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"

Ratings and reviews

Well this app was cool for about 5 minutes, until it totally destroyed the basic functionality of my remote. Now I can't even do a hard reset, because half of the buttons just stopped working. And if this happens to you, don't hold your breath when reaching out to the dev. How there' is no FAQ or troubleshooting on app website is insane.

Very easy setup if you just follow the instructions. Took me 2 minutes to setup my Netflix Button for 1x IPTV, 2x Youtube and long press Netflix. Some of the so called IT experts with negative comments (at least some of them, I know this as well from work...I work in IT, but with Product Marketing background....so I do not overcomplicate things) should read the instructions. I have nothing negative to say about the app....and also noone needs to buy pro features to test if its working.

Can't seem to get it to pick up the dedicated Netflix/YouTube/TCL/Prime Video buttons on the TCL remote. Nor will it pick up the quick app swap button. It will pick up OK/Back/directional pad, so there's something weird about TCL's handling here I guess. I'll keep playing with it, but be warned if you're intending to use this on a TCL TV: Doesn't work as hoped.
