I have it set on my home screen as a widget. I'm using Nova Launcher and you can set an icon to open Bixby with just a press of a button!

Yeah, create a widget, select activities under Nova and select Bixby Home. Simple

Hi if you are not rooted try the BXaction application on PlayStore, those who are rooted + Xposed there is a module it's XposedEdge:
This module provides you Gesture control, Key control and other smart triggers. To trigger actions you want.

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.

BIXBY UPDATE: Turn of Bixby key

You get the option at the top to turn off the Bixby key, seemingly only the first time you open Bixby after updating
I turned it off and it still comes on by pressing the key so...
Bixby update is available in Galaxy App store
I got the update as well i do like the fact you can turn off the Bixby button because sometimes press it by mistake.

Thanks for the heads up! I disabled it, restarted and the bixby button doesn't do anything now! Perfect!
Package disable all bixby stuff. Disabling the button will continue having bixpy running in the background and using ram
Hope the developers of bxactions etc get the button remap to work with bixby button work boxy off, still like to have access to my camera through the button.

I've completely disabled bixby (single press & long press). The only way I can remind myself of this horrendous voice assistant is by resetting my default home launcher (it is Nova atm) and getting to bixby through the TouchWiz launcher.
Seems most people can only disable single press. What you have to do is go into bixby, hit settings, and disable bixby voice first. THEN disable bixby home launcher. Voila, your bixby button does nothing at all now.
Hope someone finds a way to make use of this button that is literally doing nothing now.
EDIT: ENABLE FLAWLESS GOOGLE ASSISTANT
After disabling bixby voice and bixby home, download bxactions and follow the steps in-app to enable "Control Mode". You'll need a PC to run a command, but the steps are super easy. Google assistant is flawless when pressing bixby button now. Couldn't be happier.
How are you guys turning off Bixby?? Is it done inside the app or grin settings?? I got it updated

Thanks I got it figured out. You've got to go thru the Bixby setup and it'll be up at the top. I've since got bx actions going in control mode and have that button mapped for Google assistant

I think it only works for Google assistant if I disable bixby voice (control mode) and try use bixby button for Camera I get a pop up saying I need to enable Bixby voice... hope developers can tweak things so all bixby functions can be disabled but the button can still be used for a range of actions (like camera).
Guess I need control mode... Because after disabling the button, nothing works
Cool, now i can turn this bixby thing off. Its annoying when accidentally pressed

I've had the same problem, use an older Button Mapper. Cancel Automatic Updates from Play Store.
I use the version on the link. (0.58)

Tysm!! it works!
In updated versions, enable Alternative assistant in More options. It will open Bixby voice instead of Google assistant.

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?

Awesome i will install when i get my s10 plus thanks!
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!
