Application Description

Button Mapper is your go-to tool for customizing your device's hardware buttons, making them more functional and tailored to your needs. With Button Mapper, you can effortlessly remap your volume buttons and other hardware buttons to launch any app, shortcut, or perform a custom action with a single press, double press, or long press. Whether you're looking to remap physical or capacitive keys such as volume buttons, assist buttons, or even the capacitive home, back, and recent apps keys, Button Mapper has you covered. It's also compatible with buttons on various gamepads, remotes, and other peripheral devices, expanding your control options.

Most actions in Button Mapper don't require root access, making it accessible for a wide range of users. However, for some advanced features, you might need to execute an adb command from a connected PC if your device isn't rooted. Keep in mind, Button Mapper won't work when the screen is off unless your device is rooted or you've run the necessary adb command.

Here are some examples of what you can achieve 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 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 (for capacitive buttons only!)
  • Use your volume buttons to adjust screen brightness
  • Long press to toggle "do not disturb" mode
  • And much more

Unlock additional features with the pro version of Button Mapper:

  • Simulate keycodes (requires adb command or root)
  • Swap volume keys on orientation change
  • Default to ring volume on Android Pie or later
  • Pocket detection
  • Themes
  • Change back and recents buttons
  • Customize haptic feedback (vibration) on button press and long press

Button Mapper allows you to map a wide range of actions to your buttons or keys:

  • Launch any app or shortcut
  • Disable the button
  • Broadcast intents (PRO)
  • Run scripts (PRO)
  • Camera shutter
  • Turn screen off

The app supports a variety of buttons:

  • Physical home, back, and recent apps/menu buttons
  • Volume up
  • Volume down
  • Most camera buttons
  • Many headset buttons
  • Custom buttons on your phone, headphones, gamepads, TV remote, and other peripheral devices

Additional options enhance your experience:

  • Change the long press or double tap duration
  • Delay initial button press for better double tap operation
  • Disable Button Mapper while using specific apps
  • Plus many more customizations

For troubleshooting:

  • Ensure the Button Mapper accessibility service is enabled and allowed to run in the background
  • Note that Button Mapper does not work with onscreen buttons (such as soft keys or the navigation bar) or the power button
  • The options shown in the app depend on the buttons available on your phone. Not all phones have home, back, and recents buttons!

Button Mapper uses Accessibility services to detect when physical or capacitive buttons are pressed, allowing them to be remapped to custom actions that suit your needs. Rest assured, this app does not collect or share any of your personal information; it's safe, and your privacy is respected.

The app also uses the Device Administrator permission (BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN) to lock the screen if the "Turn screen off" action is chosen. If you wish to remove this permission, simply open Button Mapper, click on the menu (three dots in the upper right corner), and select "Uninstall."
