Customize the pressure sensors of the Google Pixel 2 XL with this app

Leaked Google Pixel 2 XL

For a couple of weeks it has been expected Google Pixel 2 XL is already official, and since then many have been the blogs that have analyzed it to the fullest, showing its virtues and defects. Leaving this aspect aside, one of the features that drew attention are the pressure sensors that it has located on both sides, one of which, when pressed, allows us to launch Google Assistant quickly without having to interact with the screen at any time, just like which happens with the S8's dedicated button for the Bixby personal assistant. But let's face it wizards are still not a common tool for many users when interacting with him, beyond asking about the weather, setting an alarm and little else.

Google does not allow us to change the function of these sensors beyond being able to silence the device when we receive a call, which limits the large number of options that it could offer us on a day-to-day basis. Again, thanks to the developer community, we can make a Button Mapper application, an application that allows us to configure the use of the Active Sense function to our liking, name given to these sensors. Once we have given you the necessary permissions to be able to modify this function, available at XDA Developers we can start modifying its function.

To customize the functions, we must go to the application to see all the options that it offers us, which with a large number and ranging from open applications directly, perform actions like turning on the flashlight, turning off the screen, showing the options menu, showing recent calls, opening the last application ... Also we can set a shortcut so that when pressing on the sides of the Google Pixel 2 XL a call is made to our mother, the WhatsApp or Facebook camera opens or a window to send a new email ...
