Reassigning unique actions to your volume buttons and other hardware buttons is simple using Button Mapper. Remap buttons so that they can be pressed once, twice, or long-pressed to start any app, shortcut, or custom action.
Most physical or capacitive keys and buttons, including certain assist buttons, volume buttons, and capacitive home, back, and recent apps keys, can be remapped with Button Mapper. In addition, Button Mapper can rearrange the buttons on a variety of gamepads, remote controls, and other accessories.
Most operations don't require root, but some do, and in that case, an ADB command from a connected PC is needed. If your device is not rooted or you are not running an ADB command, Button Mapper will not function when the screen is off.
Here are a few instances of remapping that Button Mapper may accomplish:
- Toggle your torch by pressing and holding it down.
- reprogramme the TV remote control.
- press to transmit personalized intentions, scripts, or directives
- Long press to launch the camera and snap a picture.
- Double tapping will open your preferred shortcut or app.
- To view your notifications, double-tap.
- Change the keys for your recent and back apps (only use capacitive buttons!).
- Use your volume buttons to change the brightness of the screen.
- Toggle "do not disturb" mode with a long press, among other features
Extra features available in the pro edition include:
- Keycode simulation (requiring root or the adb command)
- When orientation changes, switch the volume keys.
- Pie or later will default to the ring volume.
- Pocket recognition
- Topics
- Toggle the back and recent buttons.
- haptic feedback (vibration) that may be customized for button and long press

Service accessibility is used by this app. To meet your demands, accessibility uses the ability to recognize when the physical or capacitive buttons on your smartphone are pressed and remap those actions to specific functions. It doesn't track what you type. Your privacy is maintained, Button Mapper is safe, and it doesn't gather or share any of your personal information.
