As the subject says. Is there a way to replace the long press of the side button to start google assistant instead of bixby? I'm coming from an iPhone and loving the customizationof android. Just hope that I can get rid of bixby because google assistant I have been using a long time.

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
Hello!
Recently, I was able to disable the Bixby button simply by clicking on the Bixby button, going to settings, and selecting the disable button option. That option appears to have vanished and I don't know how else to disable it now.
If anyone has seen this issue please let me know!
I can't help you with your problem but I use the Bixby remapper app and i changed it to open Google assistant. Pretty simple.
Watched the same thing today, searched tho whole internet but nobody seems to have the same problem?
I use BK Disabler. Try it, works really well!
I use bxActions from the Play store. Works great, even on the new Oreo builds.
You could just open the phone, cut the ribbon to that button....:cyclops:
Long press on any open home screen. Swipe right until getting you to Bixby home. Then turn off. You can also turn off her voice in settings on that page. And pressing button does nothing
Also there is apps in the play store to remap the button (no root) to do something else. Now my button for Bixby takes a SS.
Do it in the Bixby app. I disabled my button today in Bixby settings

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)
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/flar2...er-remap-your-keys-0-58-android-apk-download/
Tysm!! it works!
In updated versions, enable Alternative assistant in More options. It will open Bixby voice instead of Google assistant.
hey guys i found a way to use bixby voice on khongloi rom. This only triggers the assistant when you press the button. Voice wakeup does not work
Firstly setup bixby on your device and then download this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.in_so.navigation.buttonmapper
Give it accessibility permission and then choose any button you want to use for bixby. I'm using volume down long press. Then select the action as assistant, then as soon as you long press the volume down button you'll get a popup which will ask you which app you want to use. So select bixby voice and you're done
not working . working stop...
Hello!
I am in Russia and my girlfriend have an S8+. Triying to remap her Bixby button to my sorprise i realized Bixby voice is not installed or avaible in here. So there were no options to remap Bixby button naturaly nor something related in advance features. I was pretty upset.
The fix i found is to go to apkmirror, donwload the latest apk for bixby voice and install it manually. Bixby voice was not working anyway but to my surprise in settings, advance options, now the bixby key remap was there and i was able to remap the key to the gcam .apk.
