Button Mapper: Your Key to Customizable Controls
Are you looking to personalize your device's functionality? Button Mapper is your go-to app for remapping hardware buttons to launch any app, shortcut, or custom action with ease. Whether it's a single press, double press, or a long press, Button Mapper puts the power of customization right at your fingertips.
What Can You Remap? Button Mapper supports remapping a wide range of physical and capacitive keys and buttons. This includes volume buttons, assist buttons, and the capacitive home, back, and recent apps keys. Not limited to your phone, Button Mapper can also remap buttons on various gamepads, remotes, and other peripheral devices.
No Root Required (Mostly) For most actions, rooting your device isn't necessary. However, some advanced features might require 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 use an ADB command.
Examples of Remapping Possibilities:
- 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 many more possibilities await!

Privacy and Permissions: Button Mapper uses Accessibility services to detect when physical or capacitive buttons are pressed, allowing them to be remapped to custom actions. Rest assured, it does not collect or share your personal information, ensuring 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, you can do so easily within the app.
With Button Mapper, you can truly tailor your device to your needs, making every press count!
