About this app

Some devices have a hardware button for calling assistant. However, these buttons are not compatible with this app. This is because these vendors call a specific assistant instead of the default assistant. Long holding the home button will still work.

With Assistant Shortcuts, it's possible to adjust your assistant button on your phone to a command without root!. You can, for example, view your notifications by calling your assistant.

This app makes it easy for people with disabilities to perform actions without reaching the top of the screen.

Features:
• Switch to last used app
• Put phone to sleep*
• Press back button
• Open recents screen
• Go to home button
• Toggle between split-screen mode (Android N+ required)
• Open notification panel
• Open Quick-settings panel
• Take screenshot (Android P+ required)
• Toggle flashlight
• Toggle rotation lock
• Launch any installed app
• Toggle between ring,vibrate and silent mode

*Locking the phone on Android Oreo and lower required device admin permissions

What permission Assistant Shortcuts ask for and why:
• Accessibility: Used for performing gestures such as back, power menu and pull down notification

Supporters receive an extra bonus but the main functionality is and will remain available to everyone.

The app is not working
some manufacturers ship their phones with a heavy modified version of Android. I cannot guarantee the working of the app on those devices.

Very useful app, I've used it a lot on my Xiaomi Mi 9 and it worked perfetcly. Now I am on a custom ROM based on Android 10 and the app doesn't respond to the button. It's like it doesn't recognize that it has been made default digital assistant. Any idea why this is? Edit: Tried reinstalling, disabling the Google Assistant entirely and rebooting. Once rebooted the default assistant was reset to Google Assistant. Still no luck

Try reinstalling the app and check the default voice assist in the settings of your phone.

Well a little bit intro is needed about the app. It's hard to understand. Can we program all the buttons to do the custom commands or only the home/assistant button? Enabling screenshot gives a big white circle in the screenshot, the one which comes when the Google assistant is being opened. But I like the concept of the app. Eliminates the need for rom hunting if this is all you need in your rom.

this is a great idea and almost what I need. only problem is that I can't set an app action. I needed this to open the floating apps sidebar but it can only open the app directly. I know it's possible cuz other apps can trigger it but this is the only one that sets it to replace the pointless assistant app. so, please make this happen. I would really appreciate it. thank you.
