Fingerprint sensor was not working for about 24 hrs on Google Pixel 4a to turn screen to sleep. App developer fixed with update to V2.54, but had to reinstall/install for everything to work. Updated rating to reflect fix and that things are working as they did previously (for now). Thank you.

Newest update fixed Bixby button remapping in One UI 3, 5 stars!

Worked great for a long time. Now it just doesn't do anything. Can't describe it. Worked flawlessly for a really long time. I have a broken down volume button that keeps trying to reduce volume every and now and then. so this essentially allowed me to turn it off and allow my phone to function as normal. But now regardless of what I change or update. None of changes have an effect. Phone functions as if the app isn't even there. Wierd. 2 stars I guess. It worked for long enough.

It works for what it needs to. Though there is one major problem that has caused a low score, whenever a button is mapped it often will act as if it is always being pressed, for example, if you map the volume up button it will often be continually turning up the volume at random or after you use the new mapped purpose. It makes it quite annoying and has caused me to just turn off the app unless I need it. Otherwise its alright, I would be mad if I paid for this though it was free so I don't mind

Really wish we could speed up input of special keycodes. Using special keycode 82 to open the TV guide of my IPTV app, and it takes a good 3 seconds to open on my Chromecast with Google TV, whereas it's instantaneous on my Fire Stick 4K with the dedicated menu button (it also inputs keycode 82). EDIT: I am using the faster method, I even have a batch file on my local desktop to run the ADB command on a daily basis to ensure that I always have rights if my Chromecast should happen to reset.

Must use pc. I decided to try this app, to sew what i could do with it. The assistant button remap is locked behind a paywall. I paid and proceeded; it needs to be hooked up to a pc. The description says "may need to be' hooked up to a pc. I contact the dev for a refund. No luck. Just ignored. Avoid this app. Anyone that won't even write you back knows something is wrong and is just avoiding hoping we'll go away Edit: the reply this developer left here is proof that they are dishonest

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

Additional features unlocked in the pro version:
-Simulate keycodes (requires adb command or root)
-Swap volume keys on orientation change
-Default to ring volume on Pie or later
-Pocket detection
-Themes
-Change back and recents buttons
-Customization of haptic feedback (vibration) on button press and long press

-Broadcast intents (PRO)
-Run scripts (PRO)

Additional options:

-plus many more customizations

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

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"
