Use ADB for remap

Many devices have remote controls with app buttons implemented in a way that doesn't allow them to remap these buttons. In this case, it can help you.

If you want to use ADB for remap, you need to disable the app which button you want to remap. It needs to prevent apps from running on the device. If it is a system app, you can find Disable in the settings (Settings -> Apps -> Prime Video (for example) -> Disable). If it is not system pre-installed app, you need to use the ADB command to disable it:

[adb shell] pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.amazonvideo.livingroom

com.amazon.amazonvideo.livingroom must be replaced with the package name of the needed app

When you have disabled the app, try to remap the button

Remap using getevent
