I'm looking for confirmation that Adapt Sound is included on the S9 and also if it's possible to remap the Bixby Button to Google Assistant? I also haven't found any confirmation that APTX HD will be available, despite hardware support. Thank you!

Hello,
for a longer time I am looking for an app which enables me to answer call for example with volume keys. I use to have EZ button on my old Experia, but it won't work on Lolipop.
Thank you
Jakub
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.

Samsung rolled out the update to natively remap Bixby's button. I cannot figure out how to get it open the Google Assistant as if I pressed and held the home button.
So far I've tried setting a tap of the Bixby button to :
Launch the Google app but that opens Google with the standard search bar focused for keyboard input.
Installed the Google Assistant app. The icon now shows on my launcher (Nova) but doesn't show in the app selection screen in the Bixby remap area.
Restarted my phone to try and get the Google Assistant icon to show up in the remap area.
I'm probably missing something real simple. Any ideas?

I'm trying to do the same thing. The assistant app does not show on the list of apps that can be hard with the Bixby button.
Maybe Samsung is blocking that app from being used.
This would be sweet, following.
There's an app bxactions it let me remap mine one click and Camera long press Google Ass, volume buttons to.
This is on oreo 8.1.0 se9.5 and you need to use adb for full options

It uses accessibility services which are known to add lag. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hOyBrZqy3N21uoy9nVmbK1i_zyPnIXbs/view You can use this google asssistant shortcut apk shared on reddit to toggle via built-in bixby settings.

Well that was timely! I read the first article about the feature before I posted. I thought maybe it was just my phone.

That's pretty crappy of Samsung -- They have to know Bixby sucks - they let you remap the button but cripple it so we cannot use it the way most would want to.

This worked perfectly. Thank you!!
Spoke too soon. It doesn't support "What's on my screen." So it's missing some sort of functionality somehow.

Yeah bxactions developer implemented it somehow. It is different when you say ok google and when you click its shortcut or widget. You probably dont have screenshot option either. With gestures swiping and holding home is simpler to me and I remapped my bixby key to gcam. Hope you find a workaround though
So I just got one UI on my Canadian note 8, I was using the us beta before. I noticed, I can set the bixby button double tap to wake bixby, but I couldn't find the setting to let me do other actions on one tap of the bixby button, anyone have any idea where to look for? Because in pie beta, it was in the advanced features.
Thanks alot.
Hi Guys,
Since I came from a S10, where I had an extra Bixby Button, wich I remapped then to pause/play - wich was also really useful:
to take or end calls fast or quickly stop the audiobook or music, when someone talks to me etc.
Or to quickly activate the flashlight.
So after looking for a while, I found a good way:
Just install this app:
Button Mapper: Remap your keys – Apps bei Google Play
Remap Hardware-Tasten starten jede App, Verknüpfung oder Aktion
play.google.com
And configure your buttons as you wish.
There is also an root Function, wich allows you to use it while its on screen off, wich is really nice.
Just check the screenshots here or in Playstore, there are many other things you can do.
For me personally I choose:
VOL UP HOLD = fast forward
VOL UP 2x = flashlight
VOL DOWN HOLD = rewind
VOL DOWN 2x = PAUSE/PLAY or take/end a call fast
I might change it to next song or before song, but for now, this is good for me, as Iam listining more audiobooks.
Ok have a nice one.
Best regards

You can achieve all of that and more using Tasker.
As the other commenter stated, Tasker is a much better app for this as it is popular and well maintained so bugs are few and far between.
As for needing to remap buttons, I find the buttons do exactly what I want them to do already and thats with bixby button remapped to be a camera button. Can do this in bixby without any extra apps.

@richhaynes
Yes i use Tasker but i think Tasker can't detect those buttons by its own, so i use (AutoInput) plug in to trigger those buttons.
If I'm wrong please tell me how.
Thanks.
