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

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.

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.
