  • [Tool] LG Classic Flip - Customize Launcher Hotkeys

FliphoneBochur I think they have similar opinions...

It does not seem possible with batch files. The apparent workaround it to write or find a console application which you could run from your batch file, but… does it pay of to bother about it? I don't think so? The batch files have considerable value if they can work in any system, without additional utilities, especially those written only for the purpose of extending batch functionality.


I was able to make a batch file that can detect arrow key press, but it's using powershell to do so. Not a huge deal, but makes it a bit slower. I may or may not use it.

      Biden2020prez There can be some other ways. For example, using ADB I can ask the guy to press the key on his phone. Or I can use msvcrt from python. But I don't think it's such an important feature that's worth overcomplicating this.

          FliphoneBochur lol. Just saying that I have no rules and I dont need credit. going rate is free and open source.

            [Login to see the link] So we should be able to set a hotkey to launch the AppLauncher app!
            How.simple would it be if we know the Key, Package, and Activity beforehand? How many lines of code?

            Using my batch script you can easily set for the applauncher. To include the code in your launcher, it would be pretty simple. My batch script just runs two settings put system commands, and the rest is just to detect the top activity.

            From what I recall, apps only need WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS for secure and global, not system. however, my batch script also force stops the launcher for the settings to take effect. I don't know if you're app can do that. After a reboot you should be fine.

            Maybe you are interested in making an app that can set all the shorcut keys to any app 🙂 🙂?

            If someone can test this on an LG Exalt that'd be great

            I added the arrow key function. Was a headache getting it working. In terms of showing the arrows keys in the batch script, I found a way to do it, but it messes some things up, so I may not include that. I am too tired from all this so I'll put it together as a release another time.

            what does this do for me

            Its possible to get it to work on the kyocera too?

                  Biden2020prez Do you think this can be used to program the soft keys on the top to other apps than the preset ones?
