Can anyone that has the phone already test to see if BxActions still works?
Also are you able to test Control Mode.
Thanks! :highfive:
Doesnt work on my Note 8, button launches Bixby only no matter what I do, what service I choose and what accessibility I turn on.
I did not try control mode, just blocking.
EDIT: I finally got it working, had to clear the cache on the phone and reinstalled. Now working, but its slow to close/switch from bixby.
I just used Bixby Button Remapper by Phascinate and it it works. Also BK Disabler can disable all Bixby services so the button doesn't do anything
I used bxactions and it works perfect. I did the control mode, easy to do and works like a champ. You have to use a disabling package app and PC. You will probably want it anyways. I used BK Disabler and it worked as well. Couldn't get the other apps to work very well, so I recommend those the most. No root needed and no hiccup.
Do not install bixby remap app. It will cause hesitation of scrolling in the gallery and sometimes the settings memo.
I can't get it to work for me in control or blocking mode. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Bixby and Bixby voice are both turned off from the Bixby app itself, but no matter what I set the button to do, it just remains disabled.
Maybe just update the phone to AQI5 and turn it off in the menu?
BixBye has been working brilliantly for me. Worked on my S8 Plus and it works on my Note 8 even after the recent update from T-Mobile.

I have turned it off in Bixby itself, but I wanted to remap the now non-functioning button to something else.
I really wish they would just not have put this stupid button on there to begin with, but now that it's there, I'd like to make it do something. Well I guess I can use it to wake the phone up.
Just tried bixbye. Nope again. I'm on Sprint, so maybe they're just breaking everything that tries to circumvent this stupid "assistant".
You do know there is scrolling issues in gallery when bixby remapper is installed?
Once I turned bixby button off, it's like it was never there, doesn't bother me at all. What bothers me is the fact that my phone is tracking my activities, stores them and probably sends them out somewhere. Got some stupid message last night, telling me what time I usually go to sleep etc
bxActions is working on my Verizon Note 8. I did not do the control part. I only have a single push app assigned, so no lag or other issues.
Works fine on mine as well... 1 press = Google Assistant, 2 press = camera launch, long press = flashlight.
BxActions working fine with Control Mode, no lag or stutter in gallery.
1 click Assistant, 2 clicks toggle auto rotate, long press flashlight.

Your power button is already set to open the camera if you double press it. At least mine was.

Mine too. Now I can do it on both sides!
I have it installed and followed the directions for the control mode but it isnt working for me. In fact, long pressing the button still brings up bixby.
did anyone have windows defender say that the activatecontrolmode.exe is a trojan.

yes, because it auto inputs ABD commands to your terminal to enable permissions.
Just disable defender while doing the process. I'm using bxActions - Control Mode and i'm loving it.
Does anyone know how to remove the activation of bixby when you longpress? I still get it, and don't know what package to disable to get rid of it. I have tried disabling bixby voice, but that just disables the button completely.

Under Android 9 Beta the Bixby Button only can be deactivated. No remapping is possible.
I've search the Note 8 forums, found similar but not specific to root. I'm wondering now that we have root can we replace the double tap home quick launch Samsung camera with a different app, specifically the ported gcam with HDR auto. Also wondering if it can be set to work with the screen locked like the built in camera. Perhaps an app exists and I'm just not finding it.
I have put the camera as my lockscreen shortcut but it still requires unlock to run. Coming from the Pixel, I find the gcam app to get me images much more similar to Pixels quality vs what comes out of Samsung's camera.
You dont even need root, you can use one of the various ways to remap bxby. Personally I have my bixby button remapped to 1 click is camera, double click is google now, and longpress is torch. works with screen off too, so its very handy. I did this with BK Disabler to disable bixby and bxActions to remap the button. Note: you can leave bixby enabled if you so choose and yuou can still have one click be bixby as normal if you like, then double tap camera. - EDIT : I just saw you wanted a different app, while I have mine set as default camera, I would assume there are already routes to use others as well.
I think the OP is asking if it's possible to remap the camera shortcut. OP stated double tap home for camera but that's how it was on my Note 5. On the Note 8 the double tap camera shortcut is the power button. I don't think there is a way to remap that with an app, not that I have seen anyway. I believe that shortcut is a part of the actual camera app.

Okay. Here's the thing. I just installed dr.ketans rom O11P. And was setting up my phone. I use bxActions to disable and remap my bixby key to other actions like any other sane person would do. But the problem is, you have to setup bixby first to disable it later.
Bixby on my phone is not working. Like I can't see the gear icon to disable bixby from opening Bixby home when I press the Bixby button.
Any help is appreciated. I've already tried, force close, uninstalling and reinstalling updates and app itself.
PS : I did not disable bixby and related apps with bk disabler

If your on PIE, the new Bixby version gives the option to remap the key to single or double press actions.
You can set up a Bixby command to open Google Assistant when you single press the button.
If on oreo you can use bxactions.

You didn't get it , I don't need to remap the key .
I just want to open bixby via home button and not from its key

In short, I don't think this is possible. Whether with root or not.
What you want is basically the opposite of what everyone else on this forum has been trying to do for the last two years. You want an even more easier way to open Bixby, while everyone else has been trying to get rid of it, entirely. Basically, no one has been looking into or developing ways of using Bixby more or easier, only ways to get rid of it.
Yes you're right
On my Chinese ROM I have enabled the power button double click to launch camera. This feature I use all the time. However when I double click it launches the camera immediately followed by Smart Card (MIsmartcards). I have been unable to disable this app nor can I uninstall this app.
How can I get rid of this or at least not get it triggered by the power button double click? Thanks in advance.
