About Button Mapper: Remap your keys
Button Mapper makes it easy to map custom actions to your volume buttons, home button, back and recent apps keys. Remap your buttons to launch any app, shortcut or custom action.
Assign custom actions to single presses, double taps and long presses of your phone's hardware buttons. Root is not required.
Button Mapper can remap physical or capacitive keys and buttons, such as volume buttons, the home button on Samsung Galaxy devices, the camera button on Sony devices, and the capacitive home, back and recent apps keys found on many devices by ASUS, HTC, OnePlus, Xiaomi and other manufacturers.
Volume buttons will work with the screen off if your device is rooted. Otherwise, Button Mapper does not work when the screen is off.
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"
This app uses Accessibility Service. This is used to detect when the physical or capacitive buttons are pressed on your device so they can be remapped. It is not used to see what you type. Button Mapper respects your privacy and confidentiality. It does not collect or share any of your personal information.

Few issues: 1. press long menu button to split, 2. move the split bar to the top of the screen until disappears 3. pulling down extends toggles (expected behaviour) 4. pressing long menu butoon again to get the split bar - nothing happens 1. It freezes a visible activity and pulls the toggles when sliding down, home and menu button then don't work ("no restrictions" on battery). 1. In many cases the service starts, but after long press on the menu button the split is not working. Restarting the service 3-4 times seems to solve this. 1. Google Chrome turns black, only search /address bar visible. Xiaomi Mi Max 2

Does it's job when the screen is on. Neither root nor the experimental options allow me to remap with the screen off sadly. Running Flyme 5 which could be the problem

5 stars without a doubt (paid version), made it possible and reliable to not only make the Bixby button useful but to remap all left side hard controls more flexible/useful. And it stays as you mapped it thru multiple reboots, recoveries and custom ROM changes. S8 on Renovate Ice 5.1 w/Magisk.

I bought this app. I would like the back button function to stop my right click as well. I bought this app so i could use my mouse without backing out of programs. Simply put it does not stop my MXQ from backing via rightclicking with a wired microsoft brand mouse. I will wait for an update and give 5 STARS if fixed, because i don't believe a refund will fix my issues.

Bought the pro version the other day and now the app has stopped working completely. None of the remapped hardware buttons work. Bought this since it supports Bixby. Using a galaxy note 8. Please fix.

The app has been working brilliantly as my volume up button on my S7 became stuck however I am concerned as my Samsung scan has said it is malware. Can I get an answer?

Why is it when I uninstalled the app through the button like it says, my GS6 starts having the buttons light up whenever the screen is touched? It seems without the app installed my phone freaks out, as if this app has installed some kind of malware.

Doesn't work on power button HTC. Edit: Hidden at the bottom of a long description. I will change my review if you put that in the big bold attention at the top, it's a key feature. Edit 2: actually there's a big blue power button as your ad for the app... Sorry if I missed the second one, but the power button is in your ad..
