About KeyStar: Button Mapper
With KeyStar, you can take total command of your Samsung device's buttons to perform the exact actions you need.
Add up to 10 actions for each button. Not enough? Add contexts to perform a different set of actions based on the currently open app.
Still not enough? Combine KeyStar with Tasker to create your own actions and hotswap configurations on the fly based on your own rules.
Remapping works always, even with the screen and Always On Display turned off. No root needed.
Soft keys, such as home, back, and recents, are also supported. KeyStar allows you to add your own actions on top of the existing functions provided by these keys.
The engine parameters can be fine tuned to your liking. You can adjust the delays for short presses, long presses, and even customise the volume change speed when holding down the volume buttons.

• Volume Up
• Volume Down
• Side Key
• Home
• Back
• Recents

User reviews
Awesome app. Please keep it going. Don't let it die like sideActions (by jawomo).
Works well, tons of options and features. Setup was simple with some minor hiccups. This is what RegiStar should've been, you've outdone Samsung by a longshot. There should be a trial period before you have to pay for the features, even if it was just a day to make sure everything works. Not a bad price for the feat...
great mew way to make my phone work the way I want it to. developer is very helpful and responsive!
I like it, but I am not a fan of tasker. will there be support for modes and routines itself,
