Is there any app that makes the pop-up selection 9-12 programs?
If not, would changing this require modifying the Android source code? Or would an app be able to change this functionality? (Not sure if it's locked down etc)

Can you extend Android system menus or system dialogs by simply installing your own app?
I want to extend the "View message details" dialog that appears when you long press an SMS (text message for you yanks ) and choose this option. But I could also live with an additional entry in the menu which would then launch my own app.
Any ideas? BTW, I'm only interested in stuff that works by installing a normal app.

I'm pretty sure you can't alter an app from within a different app, so i think what you are asking is impossible.
I think you could create your own service though, that listens for when you long click an sms (where it brings up the default action thing) then launch your own menu from there (just an idea, no idea whether it's actually possible!).
I think an easier method would be to code a whole SMS app, then you can do as you like, but i guess that's not what you're after.
well since android is open source though, you can find the source of that app and edit it

Oh yeah, extending the menus from the source would be pretty easy, but he said

Hi, I am looking for a super simple, cheap (free?) way to automatically change button actions when a user profile has been activated.
Specifically, I want to change the home button action. You know how you can go into an AOSP ROM and change the button action? Well, I want that capability but I need it to be automated when a profile is activated.
Any ideas?
Please don't recommend Tasker. I'm already aware of this option.
Okay, I've searched everywhere and can't figure out how to change the action on the Home Button to open a particular app using the single click action. It can be done with long-click I believe, but I need single click action for this project.
I'm now ready to look at Tasker as an option. Anyone know how to get that to work?
I am thinking of making an app for android in which if I select a word in any other app in android phone then a strip come above it. In this strip there is a button named meaning if user click on this button, then its meaning come as a pop-up or in form of notification. These meaning will come from a database of dictionary which will be provided with app.
I just want to know how to change accessibility settings of phone so that if any word is selected anywhere in the phone, strip with meaning button come.
I dont want the double press to open camera instead i want that command to open other app of my choice.
There probably can be an app for this also but just wondering if Samsung provides any customization as i have not found any.
If i install third party app then it will take space and resources and finally impact on battery life.

I don't think impact would be that much on battery unless the app is rendering adds. Samsung also has an option to turn on triple press action. Goto Settings -> Personal -> Accessibility -> Direct Access -> Turn ON. You have a few apps to choose from (not very useful), but in case you're interested.
Hello everyone,
I am using a OnePlus 6T, stock 9.0.1, rooted with Magisk, and with TWRP Recovery.
I would like to change the behavior of the system when Power+VolDown is pressed.
Right now the event triggers taking a screenshot and showing a dialogue window with options for sharing, editing, and deleting.
I find the behavior very unconvenient. What I would like is that the event triggered taking the screenshot only (i.e.: what happens when using TWRP) without the additional dialogue window and delay.
Is there any way to accomplish that?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I am willing to tinker around if needed.
P.P.S. As a plys, it would be great if it worked also with the three-fingers gesture and with apps that block screenshots by default.
Go to developer option, enable advance reboot. You have option screenshoot when you hold power button.

I did but unfortunately it invokes the same app (Screenshot) instead of the one that, as far as my understanding goes, gets invoked on plan Android systems (System UI) so I still get the unconvenient dialogue window, no matter which way I decide to take a screenshot with: Power+VolDown, 3-fingers, Advanced Power Button menu.
I think as long as you stay on OxygenOS, you will keep that type of screenshot. Your solution might be flashing a custom AOSP ROM.
