About Buttons remapper (no root)
Buttons remapper allows setting custom actions for hardware including capacitive (not software) buttons of your Android device.
Features:
- Swap or remap buttons
- Set additional actions for a short or a long press
- Open browser, dialer or camera apps on a hardware button click
- Open any application by press on a key
- Disable a button completely
- Supported remapping of HOME, BACK, RECENT APPS, CAMERA and VOLUME keys + over 200 other keys
- Support of double/triple click and two buttons combinations in the Premium version (feature is under testing)
- Alt+Tab feature similar to Android N (in the Premium version)
- Ability to terminate current app (Root only)
This program WILL NOT work with soft keys.
On some devices hardware buttons are not comfortable to use in case of their unusual arrangement. If your device is one of them try this application and re-assign hardware keys. The app has been tested on Samsung Galaxy S4, S5, S6, S6 Edge and Samsung Tablets.
This application will work only with hardware (including capacitive) buttons.
Root-permissions are not required for the majority of functions. However, some actions (Menu, Search, Block, Terminate app, Change language) require root.
The behavior of remapping is device specific and some of keys may not work on some models. For example, Power button does not work on the majority of devices.
Please, be careful with remapping a HOME button action.
We will be happy to receive any ideas, suggestions and reviews by the email. If something doesn't work we will also be happy to help with setting up.
ATTENTION!
This app uses Accessibility services. It designed to help drivers, users with disabilities and anyone who can find it useful, to access apps faster and replace different actions with just one click on the button. The app uses only the following features of Android Accessibility service:
- Filter key events to get access to the key event of the device and to remap it to any other action;
- Track "window changed" event to get the package name of the running app when the action Last app is assigned to any button, to help user get back to the previous app.
The key events actions are not saved on the persistent storage and are not being send outside the device. The same goes for a last opened package of the app. Events are saving in RAM to process combinations and the Last app action only.

I've used this app for a while. It's been great. But something was missing. Now with the recent update to allow detecting keys by pressing them, this app has now become perfect. Highly recommended.

Remapping the back button does absolutely nothing. Accessibility granted! Totally useless and a complete waste of time. LG G4 Android 6 stock. "No Root"? Yeah right

An absolutely necessary app! The only issue people WERE having was that the app wouldn't stay active. I emailed the developer and he responded immediately and fixed the issue by adding a permanent notification toggle (needed in Android 6+). By far the best developer I have dealt with and absolutely one of the most essential apps on the market today!

Since my phone touch screen is not functioning properly, I can easily remap HW buttons with this app. Combine with Google Assistant, this app saves my phone! But I can't skip tracks with this app. It does nothing even though I have remapped it with other buttons. Also, it does not work when my phone screen is off. Overall, it is a great app and I would recommend others to purchase the Premium feature. It's cheap and reasonable.

Made my Galaxy S7 usable. The free version allows you to change 2 buttons which is all you need if you just want to fix Samsung's bad design decision of switching back and recent apps

Updated: This app does work fine on my Galaxy S7, for changing button assignment or even completely disabling the capacitive buttons. It took me awhile to figure out how to use it though.

I use this solely to swap the back and recent hardware buttons on my Samsung phone, and it works, but then breaks every time I invoke one handed mode. Would love to replace this or fix this. The notification toggle doesn't work in that case.

Overall good app, I don't see why people are leaving negative reviews. My only reason for a 3 star as opposed to a 4 is the bixby button is not mappable. It really isn't fair you got every button except the one i hate the most listed here... ???? but I can't complain. I'd support the devs but they don't support my device model ????????????
