I recently installed a Grom aux/bluetooth device into my car. One thing I would like to address is that the button on the factory stereo which acts as the call button resorts to the voice dialer function where I would much rather use google now. Pressing various buttons on my stereo I have found two buttons that register in android when pressed but as far as I can tell serve no bluetooth function with the grom device. I would like to have these two unassigned buttons assigned to start applications on my device (google now/winamp). So in effect I am looking for an app that will let me start applications using hardware buttons, like an to keyboard or gamepad. I have tried bluetooth launch and a number of bluetooth headset apps with no success. I have read that before ICS android had a built in quick launch function. I am not sure if it is possible to reinstate that capacity somehow on my 4.04 Rom. This app, Quick Launch, seemed to have promise but from what I can tell it only supports mapping to the Home, search and camera buttons. Ideas, Suggestions?
Thanks
Update:
I found that the quick launch functionality is still in ICS just hidden, com.android.settings.quicklaunch.QuickLaunchSettings will launch the quick launch configuration for the keyboard. Unfortunately this does not help me as it only lets you assign apps to specific letters and numbers you would find on a keyboard (a-z, 0-9), and my stereo buttons list as buttons 89 and 90.
