Button Mapper makes it easy to remap custom actions to your volume buttons and other hardware buttons. Remap buttons to launch any app, shortcut or custom action with a single, double press or long-press.
Button Mapper can remap most physical or capacitive keys and buttons, such as volume buttons, some assist buttons, and the capacitive home, back and recent apps keys. Button Mapper can also remap buttons on many gamepads, remotes and other peripheral devices.
The root is not required for most actions, however, some require an ADB command from a connected PC if not rooted. Button Mapper does not work when the screen is off unless your device is rooted or you run an ADB command.
A few examples of remapping you can do with Button Mapper:
- 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 favourite 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

This app uses Accessibility services. Accessibility is used to detect when the physical or capacitive buttons are pressed on your device so they can be remapped to custom actions to accommodate your needs. It is not used to see what you type. Button Mapper does not collect or share any of your personal information, it is safe and your privacy is respected.
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”

Kalikundi Kalikundi: App works great. Wanted to remap my power button to roll up n down to lock my screen and switch my phone off and it did the job. Kudos to the developer. Just wanted to know if I will be able to turn my phone on using the volume rocker.?
Reply Of flar2: Yes, you can turn it off with a volume key
