[Q] Remapping hardware buttons

Does anybody know a good app to assign actions to the hardware buttons (Touchbuttons on the bottom)? Of course only for the long press action. Otherwise I think I need the defaults I found out that when you keep the home key pressed, it shows a panel with the last opened apps, and the same with the Search button gives you Google Voice. I also have an App that toggles auto-rotate which runs on the long press of the Search button. However, must apps are not smart enough to distinguish between short and long press: They perform their action anyway, and if I keep the button pressed, I can also turn off auto rotate. But that's kinda annoying. The Homekey doesn't have this problem, so I'd like to move auto-rotate to this key. Is there an app that can do this? Or some other means of configuration?

Found LaunchKey in the meantime, but it only works for the Long-press search button. Would like long press home button... No ideas?! There is Button remapper, but it says it requires root.

So, and if I EVER, for some foolish reason, I decide to actually reboot my phone, you expect me to reconfigure everything?

Or just wait a few weeks for root...

[MOD/HOWTO] Disable Home Button Wake

Haven't seen this posted yet and each phone is a little different. Curiously it's more like the Note II than the SIII.
1) Open Root Explorer
2) Navigate to: /system/usr/keylayout/
3) Press 'Mount R/W'
4) Long hold 'gpio-keys.kl' and choose "Open in Text Editor"
5) Remove "WAKE" from the line "172 HOME WAKE"
6) Back out, Save, Reboot
Enjoy

Home2 shortcut app should work. Simply download it, follow the instructions, then disable the home button shortcut in the svoice settings.

Well... the power button wakes the phone up just fine. I also worry that it can get pressed while in my pocket.

Coming from the Galaxy Note I enjoy the Home Button to wake the phone instead of always having to use the Power Button.
What I'd like to see is Google Voice search shortcut while holding the Power Button instead of the Task Manager.

Just long-press Menu to bring up GNow...then you not only have access to voice search, but the famous GNow cards that might answer your question, anyhow.

That and also in any app, long press on the menu button acts as the search button within the app.

Just throwing this out there - I read here and in the .kl file that it is not good to mess with the generic.kl file. Does anyone know which would be the best .kl file to edit?
I want my volume keys to wake the phone and when i add wake to those keys in the generic file, my power button no longer sleeps the phone...

As mentioned, Power button works the same. I don't need two ways to turn it on. I keep my phone in a belt case and it's tight enough that just putting it in the case turns the phone on. I'm tired of checking to see, so I did this mod today. Actually, it's one the biggest reason I rooted today! Mod worked great, thanks given. Much happier now.

Remap Bixby manually & using all in one gestures; Bind to flashlight [ROOT]

The bixby button is an absolute waste of a physical key on samsungs part, and ever since I got my S8 a little over a month ago I've been trying to find a way to completely remap the key without any of this bypass nonsense that flashes bixby for a moment before proceeding with your action, or returning to your home screen etc. I'm currently using a rooted S8 on renovate ice r155, with the latest AIO gestures & Tasker.
I highly recommend using MiXplorer as a root explorer, you will need one for this. Basic knowledge on using tasker will help too.
Thanks to redplate, j91co & kuaka as I've pieced together their help in order to make this work on my phone.
Links to threads here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/root-remap-bixby-button-o-app-t3601061/page10
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-active/how-to/how-to-tasker-to-assign-flashlight-t3396760
So I have made a little tutorial on how to re-assign the key; this must be done manually and does not require an app for anything other than more extensive actions.
Therefore there are two parts to this: manually re-assign the key, and linking the key to all in one gestures.
Re-assign the key:
(1) Open a root explorer, and navigate to root: /system/usr/keylayout
(2) Copy generic.kl and rename the copy to generic.kl.bak
(3) Open generic.kl and edit as text; either rename to .txt and revert back or use MiXplorer to edit directly
(4) Find '703'; it should look like # input_fw Intelligent Key for Dream key 703 WAKE (or 'WINK' depending on device version, its ok)
(5) Simply rename the entry in capitals, for example WINK to VOLUME_DOWN
(6) Save the file, reboot.
(7) If any issues, restore the backup.
Link to AIO Gestures & Tasker
For this example I'm going to show you how to use AIO gestures with Tasker to toggle the flashlight with the bixby key.
(1) Manually re assign the key as shown in the first part: use something not commonly used. I used the function DVR. Save & reboot after changing this.
(2) Download tasker & AIO gestures. Grant root permissions and accessibility permissions in settings.
(3) Open AIO gestures and go to the hard keys section; 3 dots in top corner > custom keys
(4) Press bixby, it should display what you assigned it to. In my case it showed DVR. Press add.
(5) It will now be shown in the list of hard keys. Press it once to open the menu. You can choose anything you like, im going to assign it to a tasker shortcut:
(6) Swipe to the 'shortcut' section and scroll down to task shortcut
(7) Add a new task, and filter for 'torch'. Set ' toggle'. Press back, and again.
You should now have your bixby key bound to flashlight. I've tested this and it works from the AOD too. Enjoy, and please give credit to the great oaks who figured this all out cus im a flop and couldn't have done it without them
Of course if you know how to use tasker and stuff you can do whatever you want with this, take full advantage of that button! F#ck samsung for forcing the stain bixby is into our devices.
by is on us.
I haven't tested myself, but apparently this method also works with all of the bixby apps removed.
If somebody would like to incorporate this into an app, that'd be mad and you'd be a legend for doing so.
Here is a list of some actions I have accumulated from some threads you can assign to the key:
VOLUME_DOWN
VOLUME_UP
HOME
POWER - Power menu
MUSIC - starts your favorite music player
CAMERA - Open camera
APP_SWITCH - App switcher
VOICE_ASSIST - Google Assistant
SYSRQ - Take screenshot
CALENDAR - Open default calendar
CONTACTS - default contacts
MESSAGE - Default messenger

I guess you have never heard of the BxActions app, on xda and the play store... Remapping of Bixby button, without root even. Works great

I've used all those apps and each of them have a quirk where it flashes open for a short time, or sends you back to the home screen. In my opinion it's not an elegant solution and just isn't fluid enough, this way bixby doesn't show up at all and it works from everywhere.

Can I open a specific app on my phone with this?

Interesting, always used a free version and had some sort of quirk. Maybe it's improved since I last used it like the other week, but it never blocked bixby properly.
Whilst it's a nice app, you're also heaps limited to what you can assign the key too so bringing tasker to the table gives you pretty much endless possibilities.
Maybe the Devs will see this thread and incorporate this into their app for free....

Yeah, a recent BxActions update made it so Bixby doesn't come up anymore. There is an extra one-time step to take with the PC (don't need adb or anything special), but it's super easy, doesn't install anything extra, steps you through it, and takes all of about 30 seconds. It has just about every option I can think of for reassigning the button, including ability to customize actions for a long press or a double press of the button. It's come a long way even in the last few weeks in my opinion.
Although, it's nice to have options, that's what I love about Android. I just thought I'd present another option in case it wasn't known, so thanks for your post!!

Cheers for that, I had no clue they had fixed up all the blocking stuff, I'd love to check it out but I've completely removed bixby in favor for rebinding it lol. Still, that's mad that the dev has sorted it all out without the need for even adb or root; I might check it out as some point as the only thing limiting me currently I'm not sure how to configure it for double and long presses, could be my lack of knowledge with tasker, I'm still learning all this stuff.
Does BxActions have tasker support?
Anyway cheers for letting me know, it's a communal effort to get rid of Bixby

DUDE....I HAD TO MAKE AN ACCOUNT TO THANK YOU! This mod make all the Bixby disabler app obsolete! You should put this in theme and mods, it really deserve more notice!

My thoughts exactly!

I recommend Button Mapper (from XDA developer flar2) from the play store. It can remap every key, and you can assign actions for press, double press and long press, too. It also has a long list of actions you can assign to the buttons. More, it doesn't need Tasker to be installed.
It has rooted and rootless mode; in rooted mode you can launch the actions even without unlocking the phone. It is very smooth and light, it doesn't flash the screen when Bixby button is pressed.

BxActions does all that and more apparently, as BxActions will let you launch the actions with the phone locked, even without root... Also doesn't need tasker, is smooth, light, and doesn't flash Bixby, and does single, double, and long presses, and is also from an XDA dev...
Wait, just realized you said "remap every key", as in remapping of volume keys as well? If so, that's kind of cool, even though I don't need that for anything...

Button Mapper does all the Bixby stuff for free, has more actions to choose from, also allows you to remap other buttons, and if you have root, is faster, more reliable and will give you even more options.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

I've checked out using button mapper as an alternative, and discovered only the volume keys work with the display off / device locked. Whilst it is more usefull than aio guestures, it completely defeats the purpose of having an easy to access flashlight key, considering I'd have to unlock my phone. Found that bixby actions doesn't work at all now due to remapping the key (plus im too much of a stinge to pay for long / double press, everyone with an S8 should have had this from the factory but I see nothing wrong with charging for hard work).
Found a new thread describing a method using 'Xposed edge' (pro ver here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jozein.xedgepro&hl=en, free one too) that supposedly does all these things plus double press, through using xposed, however im a bit skeptical using this as a solution due to the current state of xposed atm.
If anyone else knows a great tool that can remap CUSTOM keys, from anywhere (aod, lockscreen, home, in app), that supports long, double and single presses I would be forever grateful.
Whilst BxActions seems like the best solution to remove bixby (from the perspective of all users) at this point in time, I've just glanced through it to find a lack of tasker support (guess you could build your own tasker app and launch it but that's trek and a dirty solution), but cheers to jawomo for his effort with this and everyone else who's contributed.

I checked out button mapper, but still prefer BxActions since it works with the lock screen without root... Nice there are so many options...
I agree that it shouldn't be needed and we shouldn't have Bixby forced upon us when we pay as much for a phone as we did (or are)...

Thanks for this. Anyone know of a way to get it to work with the screen off? It works with the always-on display, but not if that's disabled and the screen is off.
Also, I'll warn everyone else not to do what I did on my first attempt. I used Total Commander to copy generic.kl to a non-root folder, made my changes there with TC Edit (part of Total Commander, but it can't get root access to edit system files directly), deleted the original generic.kl, then moved the edited version back to /system/usr/keylayout. I don't know why this didn't work, but after a reboot I was unable to use any keys at all - not the Bixby button, not the power button, even the on-screen keyboard refused to appear. I could unlock the phone with the fingerprint scanner and open apps, but I couldn't restore my generic.kl.bak since I couldn't delete the .bak part with no keyboard. Thankfully I had a very fresh system backup I could restore, though I'm sure I could have also renamed the .bak file with ADB. I tried again, this time editing generic.kl directly with ES File Explorer (instead of using Total Commander to edit a copy) and it worked as it's supposed to.

[APP] Button Mapper: Remap Bixby single, double and long press for FREE

NOTE: On a rooted device, this is the fastest, most reliable and problem-free method for remapping Bixby (no limitations, no setup)
Button Mapper allows you to remap any action you want to physical or capacitive hardware buttons. This includes volume buttons, Bixby button, and many buttons on game controllers and other hardware you attach to your phone.
You can map shortcuts, apps or actions to single press, double tap and long press for hardware buttons.
The Bixby button on the Galaxy S9 and S9+ is supported as of version 0.62
Bixby remapping of single, double and long press is completely free. No ads. Pro version not required.
Does not require root. If your device is rooted, you will have many more options (essentially unlimited). Also with root, Bixby remapping does not involve any hacks, it is implemented at the input level (native).
This does require an adb command to remap Bixby on unrooted devices. It's a one-time setup. I do not use the method used by other apps because it leads to a poor user experience (i.e. swiping right causes actions to occur, gets stuck in a loop)
This app is continually updated with new features and improvements.
Download on XDA Labs:
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/flar2.homebutton
.

I'm unable to test because I don't have a computer at the moment for the adb command, so just had a question. Does this allow for one of the remapped options to still be bixby, specifically the screen/feed you get when swiping right on the default launcher? ie remap bixby button single tap to flashlight, remap double tap to bring up bixby feed (or regular bixby)?

Perfect! Thank you. Why won't it work with the screen off though?

The best way to use the button for both Bixby and something else would be to have single press open Bixby and long press turn on the flashlight.
To do this, leave the bixby button "on" in bixby settings, leave single press default in Button Mapper, and set long press to flashlight.

The screenshot function uses Android's cast API and the flashlight requires the camera permission. The app never records video.
The app will ask for permissions as needed, that way you know which action requires the permission.

This app's pretty good. I am unrooted and did the recommended ADB step and it works perfectly. Unlike other remap apps, it doesn't accidentally launch Bixby if you set it up correctly. The extra button is finally useful!

Might be a false reading. On GSAM, mine is reading as 0.1% in the last hour of use.
I've never even seen it in the Battery drainer list. It could be any number of things on your device.

Quick video guide showing how to remap the Bixby button on the Galaxy S9 phones. The app requires some permissions then allows you to change the button to anything. It can open any app, Camera, use it as a power button, power menu, etc.

I don't use always on display but I tried it and no I'm having no issues.

Removed. Wrong Post.

No matter what I try bxactions tells me I still need to disable the Bixby button but it is disabled.
Ok, after joining your beta program I've now gotten it to tell me the Bixby button is disabled. But then I go to enable remapping the button but it won't stick. I exit out of the buttons menu and then go back and remapping is again disabled. Hmmmmmm

I can confirm this to be true. A reset makes AOD work again. It works again for a while but then stops again after a while.

Everyone new to BxActions should get the Pro version. The speed it provides, not to mention the extra remap options, are more than worth it.

Would you happen to be the developer? The pro version or connecting it to a pc also lets you use a double and triple press action with the app.

I haven't noticed an option for triple presses.

Holy permissions.

Up to now I was using bxActions to remap the bixby button (single press).
I just upgraded to Pie and now the single press remap does not seem to work.
Bixby single press always shows the message 'Hold the bixbutton to start bixby.'
A remap on the long press still works and launches the requested application.
Is there a way to remap the single press on bixby in Android Pie?

I think you must disable bixby home or bixby sthg. using ADB method and then restart app or reboot.

Tried this on an S9+ with Lineage OS and there's no permssions available for the bixby button when the app asks for it, only the volume buttons....
What's the problem?
