Sorry, I don't understand. You mean that you have the same phone as mine?
On my Samsung S10e under android 12, this app works fine (screen on and off) but I just miss the possibility of setting different function in the two mode.

Sorry for the post... I just removed it.... on reflection, I admit that it was misplaced..... edit your latest post if you don't mind, thanks
Hi, first of all: Thank you for this Amazing App.
Now, i was wondering if there is a possibility to acces the device control using the app.
Device control in Samsung One ui 4 is placed with the rest of tiles, left of multimedia.
Excuse my poor English U_U

Not sure if this has been reported, but there's a tiny bug on Android TV/Google TV (Sony BRAVIA 4k VH2, specifically the X85J). Whenever I press one of the buttons I've remapped on my remote, the LED on the TV that flashes to indicate a button was pressed repeatedly flashes and doesn't stop until another button is pressed.
It's really insignificant because you end up pressing other buttons anyway, but I figured I'd report it.
Thanks for the great work!

Hi flar2,
I'm experiencing a weird bug on A12 (rooted, stock kernel, screen-off only). Toggle flashlight works perfectly on "volume up double tap", but behaves erratically on "volume up long press". I'd very much like to use long press, but it doesn't work consistently. Tried switching to alternate input method, alternate button handling, but no luck so far. What gives?

I don't know, there were no changes to button remapping for Android 12 and it works perfectly on all my Android 12 devices.
I've just realized that this only happens with AOD on. As soon as AOD is turned off, toggling flashlight with "long press on volume up" works perfectly. Toggling flashlight with "double tap on volume up" works fine either way, weirdly enough. Just a little heads up.
Together with FLauncher this is a gamechanger for my BRAVIA television, so regardless of what else I can get working I want to say thank you so much for your work.

Uninstall and reinstall, then use adb over WiFi to issue the command manually (use the exact command on setup.buttonmapper.app). It works on all my TVs, including a Sony. Android version doesn't matter for the script until Android 12, and root is not required.
Great app, thanks for keeping this going!
Anyone can help with toybox commands please? Running Android 10 on Chromecast with Google TV and want to map my home button to reboot the system on long press. Using Button Mapper Pro version. When I try 'reboot' I get the message 'toybox: Unknown command reboot (see "toybox --help")'. Other commands seem to work OK, for example 'uptime'.
Thank you!

Unfortunately, you can't do really anything on Android anymore. Permission denied for even a simple thing like reboot or listing files in a folder.
Best option is probably to map to the power dialog, where you can then select reboot
Thanks for reply!
Mapping to power dialog was my first option, problem is once mapped on my Chromecast (with Google TV) it will bring up the dialog but won't let me choose any of the options, then dialog disappears.

I honestly don't know. Try granting WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS via adb, this will allow the app to start the service.
adb shell pm grant flar2.homebutton android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS1
IIRC, the service name is a.ai
You can also do this to allow the app to start the service itself
adb shell pm grant flar2.homebutton android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS1
Add above WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission and disable "Safety Guard Auto Launch" for ButtonMapper solved my accessibility issue on TCL android 11 TV.
Thank you. -

Button Mapper allows you to remap any action you want to physical or capacitive hardware buttons. This includes volume buttons, camera button, home button on Samsung devices and capacitive home, back and recents, Bixby, Active Edge, LG assistant button and many buttons on game controllers and other hardware. It does NOT work with onscreen home, back and recents buttons (i.e. soft keys or the navigation bar).
You can launch shortcuts, apps or actions to single press, double tap and long press for hardware buttons.
Download on XDA Labs:
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/flar2.homebutton
Limitations:
-does not work when the screen is off (unless rooted)
-only works with hardware buttons, not onscreen buttons (i.e. navigation bar)
-power button cannot be modified
-there can be quirks with some devices due to non-standard hardware and software implementations by various manufacturers. I try to fix them, but sometimes it's difficult if I don't have the device to test.
.31Examples of things you can do with this app:
-Lockscreen peek: press and hold the home button to quickly check your lockscreen messages, release to turn off the screen (requires PRO VERSION)
-Launch an app by long pressing the home button
-Swap the back and recents buttons (capacitive buttons only, like on Samsung Galaxy or Asus Zenfone or One Plus One)
-Use the home button to the turn the screen off from the homescreen on your Samsung Galaxy (requires PRO VERSION)
-Control the button lights on your Samsung Galaxy. Turn them on or off, or change the length of time they light up18Big update!
After many weeks of work, I've released an update that adds many new features and improvements, and fixes some longstanding bugs.
The new version is rolling out to a small number of users on the Google Play Store.
You can download the new version now on XDA Labs.

Pixel 2 Active Edge
The Pixel 2 battery drain was caused by remapping Active Edge with root and not enabling screen off actions. It has nothing to do with the method that I use to remap the Edge squeeze, it was caused by a typo in the options logic. There are a lot of myths about how this app handles Active Edge. First of all, it does not consume battery and does not slow down your system. Such claims are false (notwithstanding the bug, which is now fixed). The method for remapping Active Edge does not scan through every logcat message. With root, it's 100% reliable and you will never see the Assistant and will remain in your current app. Without root, you will occasionally see the Assistant and it may bring you to the homescreen. The only limitation is you need to use English language until Google enables the Assistant for other languages.
Root Command
You can now remap buttons to a root command. This offers unlimited possibilities for power users. Obviously this requires root! It's available in the Pro version only
Custom Key Codes
You can also remap buttons to custom key codes. This means you can fully remap game controllers, tv remotes and other hardware attached to your device. I've compiled a list of key codes that are recognized by Android here. This requires root, unfortunately. It's available in the Pro version only.
MIUI
MIUI does some really stupid things to Android. In order for Button Mapper to work correctly, you need to grant the "Autostart" permission and disable battery optimization. If you do not grant the autostart permission, swiping Button Mapper away in recents will kill the service. If you do not set battery optimization to "No restrictions", then Button Mapper's service will be killed every 10 minutes or so.
To grant these permissions, in go to the menu at upper right in Button Mapper and select "Introduction." Swipe to the screen title Permissions and follow the instructions.
Samsung volume bug
I tracked down a few obscure bugs on Samsung phones, including the volume scaling bug that I could never reproduce. This occurred when the volume buttons were remapped and then later the "Bixby only" option was selected without rebooting.
Pirating this app
Don't install pirated versions of this app (or any app that uses Accessibility or root), even just to try for a few minutes. Because it uses Accessibility Service and root, you must fully trust the developer. Using a pirated version of any root app gives hackers carte blanche on your device.

.15Button Mapper update!
There is an awesome new update for Button Mapper rolling out. You can get it on XDA Labs now, and on the Play Store in the coming days. This update improves volume button behavior, has fixes for Android Pie, improves Bixby remapping, lots of updates for Blackberry devices and adds a bunch of new actions, such as fullscreen mode, invert colors, toggles for NFC, airplane mode and mobile data, broadcast intents, Greek and Arabic languages, plus the usual bugfixes.
Download on XDA Labs:
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/flar2.homebutton
I want to highlight two important new features.
First, the broadcast intent action (pro version only!). With this action, you can use a button press to broadcast an intent, which is Android's way of communicating between apps. This opens up literally endless possibilities. For example, if you have my High Brightness Mode app installed, you could enter flar2.hbmwidget.TOGGLE_HBM for long-press of volume button to toggle high brightness mode.
The second feature is a new option to disable volume button remapping when the volume panel is showing. For example, if you have long press volume down mapped to toggle the flashlight, when the volume panel is showing, holding down volume will turn the volume down rather than turning on the flashlight. Once the volume panel disappears, holding the volume button will once again toggle the flashlight. I think this makes the volume button behavior more intuitive, so it's enabled by default. This can be turned off if you don't like it, the option is in Advanced options->Volume panel bypass.
Please enjoy, and don't forget to leave a positive review if you find Button Mapper useful.12Version 0.66 is now released. It will roll out slowly on the Play Store, if you want it now, get it from XDA Labs
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/flar2.homebutton
This version has tons of small fixups: volume button behavior is vastly improved, activities open right away after pressing home, everything is faster, and there are more options. Also quite a few UI improvements. New actions include toggle mobile data (root only), toggle wifi hotspot (Nougat and lower only), toggle autobrightness and clearn notifications. There is a new option to enable pocket detection, so actions won't occur while the phone is in your pocket (requires pro version).
For Android P users, I've fixed the volume buttons to default to media and added an option to force them to control ring volume like older versions of Android.
There is now an option to lock the screen in a way that allows you to unlock with the fingerprint. Rooted users could always do that, now unrooted users can too.
I've also added an option to force audio routing through the speaker while Pressy, MiKey or other headphone jack buttons are plugged in. I don't have one of these devices, but it should all work.
Changes:
Pocket detection (pro)
Toggle auto brightness
Toggle Wifi hotspot (Android 7 and lower)
Toggle mobile data (root)
Clear notifications
Compatibility with Android P
Option to use speaker with Pressy, MiKey, etc
Global bypass option
More long press duration options
Receive incoming phone calls with home button (Samsung)
Add Spanish
Update translations
UI improvements
Optional lock method that allows fingerprint unlocking
Fix AOD crash with screenshot action (Samsung)
