Looking for Timer app with Volume Up / Volume Down controls.

Hey, I am looking for a timer app that can be fully controlled with volume buttons without turning the screen on.
The hard way of doing this I think would be a combination of timer app and tasker. But maybe you have seen a dedicated app that can do this?
Thanks.

Function keys do not work

Hi,
the keys on the type cover to control the display brightness do not work. Is there a driver missing? Also the mute key does not work whereas the search and share key do work perfect. My Surface Pro 3 is just a couple of hours old and I did not install anything yet.

Umm, try holding the Fn key and tapping the Caps key. That toggles the status of the function keys.
OR Hold the Fn key and tap the required function key as when in toggled state the roles are reversed.
But then, as far as I know there is no brightness key for the display there. What looks like a bright light icon is actually a short cut to the Settings menus.
Didja read the manual???
Hi thanks for the information. I found out that these keys do not control the display brightness but the brightness of the type cover' keys.

Add new items to hardware buttons?

Hello,
I have a redmi note 3 and since it has an ir blaster I want to improve the use of it.
I have the app anymote smart remote where I have programmed my controller so 1 press will do a bunch of tasks at the same time, and it has a widget that I can use so I don't have to unlock to turn on my screen or whatever I have programmed the app to do.
Now, is it possible to make it like if I hold down volume up with a locked screen, the phone will press the widget by itself so I don't have to turn on the screen to press it. Like an app that reassign hardware buttons and can use widgets and such?
You could try Tasker + GravityBox/Xposed Additions

does it need root?
edit: nevermind
No root needed.
There are many apps that do the same. However, I guess even this one has the same problem as all others:
When the phone is in sleep mode the buttons won't work, hence, the flashlight won't shine...
As stated you need to run aod to use buttons at screen off.
I just love this app.
Will it work on other phone, besides Samsung also? Oneplus 6 in particular...It would be option I will miss the most if it wouldn't work:/ Ofcourse there is no bixby button, but can you remap volume buttons on other android devices also?
Hey,
What's up with the accessibility permissions?? Why would the app need to know what apps I am using and what I type??

How else do you imagine the app can work without root?

How to fix overlapping keys

Hello!
Is it possible to deactivate the consumption display or to reassign the button?
The steering wheel buttons for the multifunction display in the speedometer overlap with the consumption display of my PX5.
How can I reassign this one button? The "Remapping" function jumps immediately to the fuel consumption display when I press this button, so I couldn't simply reassign the button.
What does reseller suggest?
