does it need root?
edit: nevermind
No root needed.
There are many apps that do the same. However, I guess even this one has the same problem as all others:
When the phone is in sleep mode the buttons won't work, hence, the flashlight won't shine...
As stated you need to run aod to use buttons at screen off.
I just love this app.
Will it work on other phone, besides Samsung also? Oneplus 6 in particular...It would be option I will miss the most if it wouldn't work:/ Ofcourse there is no bixby button, but can you remap volume buttons on other android devices also?
Hey,
What's up with the accessibility permissions?? Why would the app need to know what apps I am using and what I type??

Is there a root method you could implement to make it so the remap doesn't make the scrolling stutter?
For remapping you can just select one item at the same time. Why do you use checkboxes instead of radio buttons?

You can try to uninstall the app restart the phone and reinstall. Sometimes android keeps services even if app is disabled. Also make sure to disable all other Bixby apps in accessibility.
when i hit the bixby button for a split second the Hello Bixby screen appears. I have not set it up yet, is this something i need to do to avoid seeing that screen for that fraction of a second?

You could also try the alternative blocking method.
Not working on my lockscreen, keeps asking to setup bixby, do i need to set it up, really dont want bixby to work at all

i have no issues but what i was asking, is because i never actually set up bixby is that the reason i am getting that screen? if setting up bixby removes that screen i'll do it.
This working after the update?
Why does it take me having to double press the Bixby button to get it to respond (was the same prior to BXActions install too)
Side note, works in assigning it to Google Assistant

Normally only single press is needed.
Did you try to restart your phone already?
Did you install latest updates of bixby and S8 firmware?

Remapping or deactivate bixby button when phone is locked doesnt work for me. Bixby comes, although it is deactivated when phone locked.
and if I say same action when phone locked or unlocked bixby is started too, although i have remapped to google assistant.
Is there a solution?
Suggestion: orientation lock/unlock.

It works on s7 Edge
The bixby button remapping is only for s8. But you can remap volume buttons on s7.
To sad that anything else than original function of keys require a purchase!
As s7 doesnt have a bixby key, its less options in free version, yes.
Why did not you added support for s7 users to remap volume keys to launch bixby voice?

Does it impact battery life?

Thanks for sharing, just why does this app require that many permissions?
They are needed to allow you to launch any of that different actions (30+)
If you have questions to any permission just ask.

I have just installed this app on my S9 plus. Great app.
Enjoy!
Doesn't work for me. I disabled everything with bixby before. I installed this app, enabled bixby voice but doesn't work. So i enabled everything of bixby again. Didn't help too. Any idea?

You need to uninstall the app, enable bixby (only the button), and reinstall. That should do the trick.

Ok got it. Thanks
Love this app. Works perfectly on my 9+
Worked great on my unlocked s9+ thank you! Make sure to run the bixby setup to get flash light to work when screen is off.
Mine is having a problem with the button mapped as a Home Button when I have Nova and a few screens, when set to Home, the one in Nova marked as Home, sometimes will just go to one of the other screens rather than the Nova "Home" set one.
Installed it from play store. works very smooth and no delay.
awesome app!!!
Tried out this app last night and it caused AOD to stop working. Anybody else seeing this issue?

Its a bug in Samsungs Oreo firmware.
I guess you used the Screenshot action. That causes AOD to crash. Still investigating if theres a workaround from my side.
Out of curiosity what are all of you remapping your bixby buttons to?
What methods are you using for remap?
I mapped mine to second power button. And I edited the key layout text file. Not using and apps for it...
IMO second power button is awesome. Screen shots power and other functions are even easier.
I'm not worried of pocket presses as I got the shut off in confined space option.
I set it to call the google assistant using bxactions
Inviato dal mio SM-G950F utilizzando Tapatalk
Button Mapper Pro: one press for Google Assistant, Double press media Play/Stop, long press for Bixby because it's awesome with device interaction.
Sent from my Galaxy S8 using XDA Labs
Google's voice assistant through SSAF on Adrenaline Rom. I usually use it to quickly Google something or set reminders
MEDIA_NEXT for skipping tunes without taking the device out of the pocket
I have mine remapped to flashlight using bxActions. It's great having a physical flashlight button since I use it all the time, but sometimes I bump it while pulling my phone out of my pocket.
one press for sound and vibration, double press for flashlight
Button Mapper Pro.
I tried em all, this is the best. With tasker integration!
Bixby: one click: toggle touch
2x click: media play/pause
Long press: take screenshot
The double click action matches with volume 2x click actions.
Volume +/- : media next/previous
Hope u will love this.
My mappings:
once: back
twice: flashlight (also when phone is off - when you need it most!)
long: my Tasker clipboard history from today - paste or copy buttons included
One click: toggle play on my kodi media center.
Using button remapper and Tasker.
Double: flashlight
Single : camera
Long: google assistant

Do not disturb. Easiest way to put it in silent mode when entering a meeting.

Yes but very limited, with bxActions you can remap single, double, long press and more and also launch actions from lockscreen.
Like toggle flashlight when the screen is off with a double tap..
Had a great experience on it with my Note 9 so I immediately installed it on my SGS10+. It's working great.
Thanks for the feedback, working also fine here on S10
Is there no option to map bixby on long press? I am using Google Assistant on tap but I'd like to be able to use bixby on long press.
Bixby starts on long press by default, or what do you mean?

Screenshot its buddy. It will go back once before taking the screen
That can happen on some apps if you use standard remapping on single press. You could take screenshot on long press, or unlock remapping over a PC and that problem will be solved.
Is it also possible to set Google assistant to it? This is not possible in stock remapping settings

Which bixby system apps can I safely remove without losing bxActions
Is there a way to have the physical button press launch one app- say the camera for example and then when on the home screen and you swipe to the bixby home panel- have that be something different such as Google Now?
Bought the paid version and did the PC unlock. This could be very useful for testing and executing scripts on the fly. Love the app!

Homescreen cant be modified with bxActions. Id use another launcher for this.
