Remap volume up/down buttons? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any programs out there that allow you to remap the volume up/down buttons to something other than what the stock software allows for?

Nice idea! After hiding the navbar, I quickly realized how much I could use something like this! I'll have to try this out when I get a chance.
Only downside I see is that since we're changing the key layout file, even when the navbar is shown, the volume buttons would still act as home/back. Would be nice for the ROM chefs to have some sort of 'live toggle' so that it would switch to home/back when the navbar is hidden, and then back to default (actual volume) when the navbar is shown.
Cheers and thanks m8!
Op, pm sent.
That's a nice idea but how do you change the volume? You will have to install some kind widget.
Also this increase wear on your buttons, that's how I killed my previous phone.
there's a toggle in AOKP to hide and bring back the toggles, although this would be more convenient it seems like it would be a hassle to change those buttons whenever you needed your volume back
Thanks for the idea just FYI on 4.0.2 GSM the layout file is:
ROOT - SYSTEM - USR - KEYLAYOUT - Generic.kl but it worked just the same. It was item 114 and 115.
Working great so far. Also I put a volume widget on my home screen so that takes care of that.
There's a flashable zip for this on rootz, been using it for several days. I just long press my ringer toggle for volume adjustment.
what i wanna see is this:
tap the power button to show/hide nav bar
double tap to lock screen
hold down to power off
boom.

I could def see this being functional

My bad .dup post
or you could just shrink the nav bar down to 30dp!
still works well and its almost like its not there!
Pretty cool. Thanks. Works like a charm.
Even long presses on the volume replicates the same behaviour as I configured on the Nova launcher :
- Long press on the Home (vol up) key: shows recents apps
- Long press on the Back (vol down) key: kills app

Doesn't seem to do anything on AOKP 27. The default says WAKE and when I change it and then reboot the volume buttons still handles the volume.
how?
Teach me, please

I think people here are misunderstand the statement. "I just long press my ringer toggle for volume adjustment." He used the built in toggles(slient or vibrate) in the rom to get the the volume screen and make volume adjustments. The long press of the physical volume key is not adjusting the volume once the mod is made.

[REQUEST][Xposed] Volume keys as back,home keys

Guys is there a xposed module or will there be one to
use volume down key as back and long press to kill
volume up key as home and long press to recents..
and expanded desktop option to disable the nav bar
this will save the space nedded for nav bars...
also volume isnt a function which we use very often...we can as well have a quick launcg tile for it
GravityBox can do the second thing you want.
Yes, I use Gravity box to hide the navbar and use its Pie for my buttons.

There's an module that does just that its called "Xposed Additions"
Doesn't even need reboots and you can even assign a different behavior to ur keys acording to screen on / off status
For example
Use volume keys to change volume when screen off

i dont think it assigns back key to volume..
also gravitybox is inclusive of that module
pie controls seems to be viable solution as of now

Root your device, install android 4.0 or higher, remap buttons, if not included in the CyanogenMod version, just install xposed framework and the module xposed additions to remap buttons

I think you can do it by going to Sound in Settings.

In Android 2.3.5 in sound settings the volume can be increased only by button, not by touching the slider.

That's sad. You could try this-- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cb.volumePlus Though I have not used it.
