About
tvQuickActions is a button/key mapper developed specially for TV devices. Supports Android TV, Google TV and AOSP on most devices. One of the main unique features allows you to assign up to 5 actions to the button of your remote and add a lot of useful functions to your device. Features: * Dock with apps like in macOS/iPadOS * Recent apps on any device (including kill all apps) * Custom menus with any actions * User ADB commands as actions * Mouse toggle on any remote * Sleep timer * Dialpad * Screen recording * Night mode (screen dimming) * Bluetooth manager * Media control panel * Quick change TV input * Auto framerate feature for Amlogic devices based on Android 9-11 * Support remapping Netflix button on Xiaomi and TiVo Stream 4K devices * Support remapping app buttons on Xiaomi Mi Stick 4K and other devices In addition, you can set actions on power on, sleep entering or exiting, create custom channels for Android TV home from menus and lock apps. So it looks like the most interesting mapper for TV devices. Even if you don't have a button you don't need, there is a button that is rarely used. And with a double click, you can perform its usual action. You can also choose from different actions: * Open the app or app’s activity * Shortcuts & intents * Keycode * Open power dialog * Go home * Open recent apps * Go to the previous app * Open the Voice Assistant (both voice or keyboard interaction) * Toggle WiFi * Toggle Bluetooth * Toggle Play/pause media * Fast forward/rewind * Next/previous track * Open media control panel (with play, pause, stop, next/previous track) * Take a screenshot (Android 9.0+) * Open a URL * Open settings IMPORTANT! The app uses AccessibilityService API to remap button (a basic requirement for remapping to work, It is needed so the app can listen to and block key events) and AutoFrameRate (it is needed to get views on screen and emulate presses to automatize mode selecting). IMPORTANT! Some actions may not work on your device. It depends on many factors such as your firmware, Android version etc. Please notify the developer if something goes wrong and refrain from giving the app a poor rating since the issue is often out of the developer's control.

Extremly useful. App name to be easy, as TV remote button function changer etc. Advise.. 1) after going to night mode settings option , it is going to colir option, better if cursor default goes to intensity sliding bar, as we use it many times depending on ambient light etc. 2). Screen off is working , but some light is remaining in background. My tv is MI Android tv.

Really handy app for my shield! ^^ Some requests for it would be to be able to get another overlay menu if you hold the button for a few sec, some kind of sorting and hiding for the dock apps, and also the possibility to change the background color of the overlay menu. Perhaps also if one could change the icons of the menu items aswell But still an awesome app :)

This app really is incredible, and has made using my remote with my TV so much better. I do have one issue though. Sometimes the QuickAction panels will get "stuck" on screen, and the only way I have found to fix it is to completely shut down my TV. My TV does not have a way to quickly force close an app, so I was wondering if you'd be able to include an option in the app to close it and restart it if possible. Thanks!

The best $2 I ever spent. Thanks for making such a feature packed app and selling it at a reasonable price. It took a bit of effort getting things set up and working but it works as a Dock, adds Recent Apps to my Chromecast, allows me to easily kill apps to free up ram,lets me remap buttons, gives me access to all the player controls the Chromecast lacks, and much much more. I wish there was an option to export my settings to Google drive because I'll be using this on all my devices from now on.

There are several really good button remapping apps, but this one was designed for Android TVs specifically and has some great additional options, such as the pop-up menus, the dock, macros, and more. Tons of customization options, and it even does a good job of informing when/if it loses permissions or if the accessibility service is stopped.

Best and most functional remote control app for tvboxes. This will greatly extend the functionality of your remote control. It will also add commands such as mouse cursor. Every button can be configured for single press, double, long etc.. Or make custom menus. Awesome!!!

Perfect App for my Chromecast running Android 12. My virtual mouse broke after my device upgraded to Android 12 and I looked everywhere for a working alternative. Not only does this app fully restore the virtual mouse, it also allows to you map 5 apps/actions to a single button ! This is a total game changer for the Chromecast Google TV and well worth the $1.99.

The $4 I spent on this app was money well spent. While the developer markets the app as a remote button remapper, it offers much more than that. The app provides a plethora of customization options and tools, including an extra menu, dock, shortcuts, and more. It’s a great app if you want to customize your Android/Google TV.

Using on a smart TV. It works well but comes with a bug where a button press sticks and stays pressed for a few seconds, for example when scrolling through using down, it will click through multiple items without stopping for a few seconds. Happens regularly but not often enough to be unusable. It would be perfect if not for this bug.

The best alternative to tasker but for android tv. adds functionalities that I use daily such a proper sleep timer for music that I can black/blank (overlay) the tv screen so audio still plays. Turn my tv power off/on when screen wakes with http get when the soundbar isn't detected (Samsung tv bug). ADB commands add to the functionality eg how dim the screen can go with overlay. remote button simulation. More importantly, the dev is active and replies to customers and addresses things promptly.

I have 2 Chromecast with Google Tv devices and with the Android 12 update, the mouse toggle were rendered useless. tvQuickActions came to my rescue and i am getting value for money now not just with mouse cursor but the short cut to other frequently used apps. Keep up the good job guys and ensure prompt support
