[App] sideActions - Remap the Power / Bixby button on S20!!
- Thread starter Jawomo
- Start date
I had the same issue, but for what it's worth, you can use Routines+ (from Good Lock) to override the side button.
Not quite as powerful as sideActions (can't have one action for lockscreen and another for unlocked), but it's at least functional on Android 13.

Any update on getting this to work with the new update @Jawomo ?
Not being funny, but getting annoyed @Jawomo hasn't replied, he's active on other topics trying to sell his new apps, but no update for those of us who've bought his old apps. Just an update from you would help.
@Jawomo
I also want to know, when we can have an update for Android 13 ONEUI 5.0.
I have been using this app on daily basis (paid version) Not having it anymore is pretty annoying.

After playing around with it for a bit, I did get the app working again. However I have to connect my phone to my PC after every reboot to enable the app permissions to device logs.
EDIT: Also the flashlight extra power is just the regular power one now.

Just tested and everything seems to work normal?
There is no way around new android restrictions unfortunately. Thank you Google!
Yea, that is annoying. But is there a way to at least approve the permissions on the mobile device and not have to plug into a PC and use USB debugging to enable the permissions after every reboot?
I guess no, google doesn't want us to use these permissions anymore. Thats why they make it that uncomfortable.
it works for the volume buttons, but not for the power button (it works only once and no more after rebooting the device)
Could you test it ? Thx
I might be wrong but at least for me I just have to force stop the app (sometimes twice) then switch the switch back on and it will pop up with the access request on the mobile device, no pc required
The app works for me when I force close it a couple of times and then the access request pops up without needing to use a pc. Is there anyway of having the app 'reset' on reboot? To save having to do this. Thanks for the app anyway, it's a game changer!
@Jawomo I can comfirm that after reboot this does work... Not ideal for sure, but it is better than plugging phone into a PC after every reboot.
The other thing I can not get working it the full power flashlight. I only get the weak flashlight no matter what option I choose.
If I uninstall and reinstall, do I lose my pro version?

2I've used Routines+ (in the GoodLock suite) to produce a touch macro to force stop the app then re-enable and grant temporary permissions. It takes about 5 seconds to run after a reboot. Maybe there's something in this procedure that could be better automated. If a root option, as queried by k2828, is an option I'm sure many would be interested.
