Why? Because the LG Classic Flip only supports pre-configured apps for the launcher shortcut keys. This means we can't set a shortcut to any third party apps. But using ADB we can fully customize these hotkeys! What? CustomLG-Hotkeys will fully customize which activities you want to launch using the shortcut keys. Say goodbye to limitations! How? Just download the file at the bottom of this post, extract it, and open customhotkeys.bat. Navigate on your phone to the screen you want to open from the shortcut key, then continue. Choose what key you want to set, and... That's it! Done! What does it do? CustomLG-Hotkeys works using the following logic: It pushes a bash script to /data/local/tmp. The bash script uses dumpsys window windows | grep -E 'mCurrentFocus|mFocusedApp' to find the current activity (with sed to narrow it down to exact text). It instructs the user to navigate to the screen he wants to set as the shortcut key. It runs the script and saves the output. It gives the user the option to choose a key. It runs settings list system commands to set the package and class name of the keys. It force stops the launcher app so the settings can take effect.

This code is great! My one suggestion would be to set the menu choices as arrow presses (meaning, press the arrow key corresponding to the direction key you're setting). I tried looking up how to do it, and I couldn't figure it out. Maybe you know?

FliphoneBochur I was thinking that too. I don't think it's possible in batch scripting, but I can probably use a 3rd party binary or powershell for it. Not sure if it's worth it.

Check this out. Tell me if it works. I tried it and it registered as capital letters, but you could try playing around with it and let me know.

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 Could you please email it to me? I think I saw the same method on stack overflow. Thanks!

FliphoneBochur Sure. (That's where I found 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.

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.

samtee

what does this do for me

SamFried

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

Biden2020prez

SamFried Probably. Contact me [Login to see the link] and we will work on it together

samtee

how can i put back to normal

Biden2020prez

samtee Settings > Phone Settings > Key Shortcuts > reset

dovi

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

Biden2020prez

dovi No. those are stored in the launchers app data and cant be changed

Atusb

Biden2020prez ? how do you open this on the phone?

Biden2020prez

Atusb You open the .bat file on your computer

Atusb

Biden2020prez Thank you. this is great to make a shourtcut to lgsettings.apk
