Remap Assistant Button - LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers

Real shame that dev support or really much users for this phone is so slim. It's such a good phone.
Anyway, I think it's another real shame that it's extremely difficult for me to find a way to remap this dedicated Assistant button on this phone. There's so many other ways in which to summon GA that I don't need that button to do it. I can be used for so much else.
Samsung folks have that awesome dev to remap their Bixby button. I wish someone could do the same here. There's clearly no root method for the LG V60 so there has to be another way to do this. Something that doesn't involve the skills of an Android developer.

I tried using that one but I could never get it to work. I downloaded that program the app asked me to download. Phone connected to the PC but the program kept telling me the phone wasn't connected. Had USB Debugging on. Dunno what the issue was.

I just have mine turned off. A waste of space if you ask me.

I installed this and got it working great. You might want to check to that when your phone is connected to your PC that you have the USB debugging set to "USB charging" and that you authorize the connection on your phone when running the app on the PC.

You son of a *****! I love you! Hahahaha! That was the mistake I made, the debugging set to charging. I had it set to file transfer. UGH! Small mistakes. So annoying. Thanks! Now this extra button isn't useless anymore. Yeah, I have to use that program to unlock the features after every reboot but I rarely reboot anyway.

Thank you - it worked on my phone!
This was a great find - thank you! I was able to get it to work and remap the Google Assistant button but did need to install the LG drivers (available from LG's website):good:

Works great! I remapped it to Wide Mode for LG through actions from Nova launcher. Perfect!

Answering calls is more than problematic

Hi all.
Bought my lady X10 mini some time ago, all works fine, except answering the calls, it takes her good few slides to answer call, very often she gives up as it gets very annoying. I tried it myself and indeed is a tricky one , you need to be very careful and do it slowly, it requires attention... should be intuitive i think!
Any ideas?
Thanks
It's even more annoying with the alarm. It has a slidy thing, and it's a real pain fumbling around trying to turn it off when it wakes you up.
I'm glad the phone doesn't have a slide to unlock, because SE absolutely failed with the slide things.

no problem here with both, i can do it quick or slow works every time
well, my lady isnt yet converted to touch devices at all, i reckon is going to be few years , but xperia is annoying here. I have looked for some replacement for default sliding tool, app called Easy Answer Button, it does work on my Desire cant check Xperia at the moment though.
Humm.....
to my wife im looking for one app like this....push to answer.
Anibody knows ?
Me too search something to change the slide cause I find that it's not fast and not so simple. For example, press screen anywhere will be more easily to turn off alarm than slide. Of course this solution is not really recommended to answer call but maybe something else exist ?
Ive got problems with slide functions too (alarm ,etc...but not with calls ).you have to move your finger a bit higher than the button is.that helps for me

right, "easy answer button" apps works, only thing had to do is to choose "small screen" option from the menu, but it solved problem with answering, tested on my lady too!
regards
I tried to search easy answer button in the Market, but i found nothing. Any suggestions?
after OTA update i cant see it on the market too... i have wiped phone when updating and now im at the same point...

Netflix For Tablets?

Edit:
Finally able to use Netflix on my Verizon 4G GT10.1. Here'S how.
Credits to yincrash
copy the transformer patch on to /sdcard/ from HERE
turn off the galaxy tab
press and hold the power button
once the samsung logo appears press and hold volume up
let go of the buttons once the android icons appear
android icon with downloading... text will be blinking, press volume up to move the blinking to the left to the box icon with the arrow
press volume down to select that. now we're in the android system recovery menu
press volume down to move selected text to 'apply update from /sdcard'
press power button to select that option
use the volume down button to scroll down to the transformer update zip
press the power button to select that zip
let android start up
install the netflix apk
watch netflix videos
Here you go:

(I actually didn't mean to hit the thanks button on your post but it's really easy to fat finger this site on a tablet. You can hit thanks for me, though!)
Netflix hasn't released a tablet app yet so this is the mobile version blown up. Don't hold your breath for a native tablet app.

There's a tablet release for Netflix, but its only exclusive to the tablet I mention in my post per Netflix support.
Well, side load that apk I linked and you can watch Netflix on your Galaxy now. e
Didn't work like I previously stated.

Yep this does work....BUT I had to root my LTE before applying the patch as it wouldn't update/modify the libnvomx.so file. After rooting the patch worked fine for me and so has netflix.
I'm thinking maybe you should have mentioned that yincrash states that he did this on an unlocked SCH-I905. That may affect the result.

The reason I didnt mention that it was unlocked is because mine is not unlocked and it worked properly. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Agreed, I'm also unrooted, and my device is pretty much fresh out the box w/sim and I was able to just run the patch on my device and bamm! Netflix working.

[Need Testers] BT Voice Search

First things first, I am not a miracle worker. This does not magically make voice search get audio from your BT headset. Google needs to fix that poorly thought out detail as far as I can tell.
What it does: It provides a dirt-simple way to start the Voice Search app from your BT headset rather than the nearly-useless Voice Dialer app.
How to use it:
Sideload the little .apk
HAVE VOICE SEARCH INSTALLED
Do what you normally do to start the Voice Dialer with your headset
Choose to run VoiceSearchIntercept by default
Try it after locking your display to make sure it still works
Post your results
Thanks guys. It works fine on my phone!

Would like to try but I can't find a way to have my bluetooth device (venturi mini) launching voice command
Does someone know a way to assign a specific action to bluetooth device buttons?
If you were to provide a logcat while pressing some button with that bluetooth device I might be able to work something out for it. Are you sure it doesn't work if you say, hold down the call button or something for 2-3 seconds?
There are apps on the marketplace that let you do things with your buttons, but I didn't find the ones I tried particularly helpful. That's why I made this one
I'll check it out later. my Bluetooth is charging.
I have a Bluetooth headset, LG Tone, that I'd be interested to see if it worked with your app.

It should, but let me know either way!
so this worked fine for me last night. I paired my Bluetooth earphones, pressed/held the call button, and it popped up your apk that I had installed. from there it automatically launched Google voice search.
although I think my mic sucks because it would never accurately do what I told it to.
but yeah.
Awesome
I can't believe I didn't comment on here last time.
I was trying to do this with my Droid Incredible and your little app is the only thing I ever found that fixed it. Now I have a Razr Maxx and have found it's still using the default voice command and I scoured the internet until I found this post again.
Thanks again, for making this. It's absolutely what I was looking for!!
Glad to hear other people are still using this! Maybe I'll make an icon and put it on the Market...

oh, you should. thought it was already on there. I just used your apk from up top.
I am using a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with a Jawbone ERA bluetooth headset trying to get Voice Command to launch instead of the default Voice Dialer.
I tried Bluetooth launcher, I explored using Tasker automate what your app does, but looked like it would take some effort plus purchase of Tasker from the Play Market.
Your app works like a charm each time after I selected it as the default.
You should definitely put it up on the Market with the description of launching Google Voice Search with the Bluetooth Multi-function button so more people can find it easily.

[Q] Screen lock timeout and force lock with button

I would like to know if there is a way to force user authentication (password, or fingerprint, etc) by pressing a button.
What i mean is that on a blackberry you can press the 'K' key to lock the screen and force the user to have to put in the password to unlock the phone. With Android it seems like the only option is to set it to lock immediately b/c if it is set to anything other than that, hitting the power button will just turn off the screen but not Lock it until that setting reaches the time you set for the lock to occur.
I assume it is not built in and i will need to download an app.
Thanks
Uhh.. Set it to lock immediately?

That is not what I'm asking! I would like the ability to keep the screen off without it locking right away but have the ability to lock with the power button. There are apps out there but it does not appear there is an option to do this natively.
Oh... But why, I'm curious.
Very simple, i don't want to have to keep scanning my fingerprint when my phone is being charged on wireless charger after the screen times out. It is very convenient to lock the phone with a simple press of a button like blackberry. If you treat it like a business phone you will understand, but I'm coming from a blackberry so it is a very useful feature for me.

Enable the developer options by mashing the build number field in about device, then in dev options check the box to keep screen awake while charging.

That is not the issue. Plus why would I want the screen on all the time. The problem is that the feature exists. However for what ever reason ATT disabled the option and lumped it together with turn off screen immediately. If i can figure out which CSC will turn this on it would be great but I don't know if it is a CSC option

I gave you a solution based on what you said you wanted: " i don't want to have to keep scanning my fingerprint when my phone is being charged on wireless charger after the screen times out."
Im sorry if its not exactly what you were looking for, but it IS a solution.
I think the two things you want are mutually exclusive. The only way to have what you need is use smart unlock. Otherwise, the phone either locks or it doesn't.

I never stated I want the screen on all the time. I simply want the option to lock at will using the power button. I appreciate the suggestion but it is not what I asked for and I'm familiar with the development options.
Still would be nice if there is a way to turn this on via a CSC option. still digging

Not exactly, this feature exists, however it is disabled on ATT phones. Looking for a way to enable this via CSC but it may not be possible.

Question Repurposeing Google Assistant button.

Any suggestion on how to remap Google Assistant button on Sony Xperia 1 iii to take screenshots instead of having to press volume down button at same time as power button?
Assistant button remapper module (magisk/xposed)
I've created a very simple Magisk module to allow Xposed Edge to properly remap the Google Assistant button. You'll need Magisk and a Magisk-based Xposed implementation (I use LSPosed) for this to work. Xposed Edge is the only remapping tool...
forum.xda-developers.com
alternatively, just press the button and tell google assistant to take a screenshot.
I was able to remap my assistant button. I do not know if my previous uninstall of Google as well as the Google assistant App(s) had any bearing on the results...but I did use ADB to uninstall those things and it did disable the button, because when the phone was unlocked pressing the button did nothing at all. However, I did notice that when the phone was locked if I pressed the assistant button it would call up the login screen, so evidently it was still doing something!
At any rate this is how I did it:

I want to thank each and every person who provided all this information as well as for the technical know-how to make this work!!!
I just wanted to add that when I press the assistant button the app I chose (for now the settings app) opens immediately with no hesitation at all.
Folks: Sorry to disappoint but regrettably I'm not digitally savvy enough, yet, to understand your responses; but does this entail having to root my phone with the possibility of it being bricked at some point? In these Covid-19 times can't afford that, essentially, having to buy a new one.

The post/link by jaseman is also discussed in the thread link I posted. xda has been deleting duplicate threads, and your thread maybe a duplicate of the thread I posted which is why I redirected you there.
Anyway, as recommended, you should use the app above, Shouko / XPERI+. I quote from their github readme:
Assistant Button Override
This feature is available on Xperia 5 II, Xperia 10 III, Xperia 1 III.
Launches an app or a shortcut when the Assistant button is pressed. You can also disable the button completely.
This feature needs READ_LOGS and WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission granted manually with ADB or root. A guide to grant this permission is available in the app.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As mentioned, root is optional. You can use ADB if you don't want to root your phone. I didn't root mine, I used ADB and it works nicely when I tried it out. There are also instructions posted in the app on how to grant those ADB permissions, but if you need more help, feel free to ask.
Btw, If you use side sense as I do, you can also set a gesture to take a screenshot. I went back to this as I wanted to use the button for Google Assistant after all.
I have disabled my google button, i never use it.

I can't stand to have a button there and not use it for something. Since I use a Spigen rugged armor case I suppose I could just cut off the rubber part that covers the button and then it would basically not be there, but I prefer to assign it to a hidden, encrypted, password app that I have been using for years. I press the button and open the database with my fingerprint. Works great!
Hello,
Anyone knows why it is show me an error when I try to do the Read permissions?
"Error: no permission specified"
