[App] Assistant Shortcuts
With Assistant Shortcuts, it’s possible to adjust your assistant button on your phone to a command. 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.
This app was developed in mind after OnePlus added the functionality of activating Google Assistant from the power button.

Assistant Shortcuts user reviews :
This app is so useful, making full use of the device assistance button. Also has decent UI design which I love a lot. | Just found one issue: the screenshot contains the white circle at the postion of home button (brought by the animation), delay before screenshot won’t solve this issue, hope the developer has better idea to get avoid of it
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.
Finally I found this app that simply does what I needed. The only among a lot others I have tried that easily can define assistant button for using system screenshots. Thank you very much!! Update: still a very good app, but now it behaves a little more erratical when trying to capture long screenshots in Android 12. I tried reinstalling it, but the problem is still showing.
Hello, I have the same problem as reported by LG users, but with Motorola One Fusion Plus (Though I have installed the app and set it up as the default assistant, pressing the assistant button is giving me the same message that Google is not my default assistant). Looking for a solution to be found to be able to remap this button. Best of luck!
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.
Exactly what I wanted! Jumped from Android 7 to 9 with my newest phone, missed the ability to quickly split my screen, and stumbled on this. Great monetization model (optional, sequestered ads in exchange for extra features) and great functionality. Wish there were more apps like this
Does exactly what it says! Reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it will randomly not respond. I’ll have to try launching the assistant shortcut 2-3 times before it launches the shortcut I’ve setup. I’ve set the phone to never put the assistant shortcuts app nor the target shortcut app to sleep but that had no effect…
This did actually work for my LG G7, but only with the home button. The app did display a message about it not working with the dedicated assistant hardware buttons on LG and Samsung devices, so if you’re looking for this to remap that button, this app doesn’t do that for LG’s.
Very good all works well except the fact that when you turn the assistant on in the settings, your volume bar does not dissapear after 5 seconds and instead you have to touch your phone for it to dissapear. Except that, wonderful shortcut
