anyone interested or know how to change task manager hardkey to menu key

Miss having the menu key..example go to xda app and cannot pull up other options because of this ridficulous hardkey when alternatives exist for task switching. This will need remapping..have seen it done for camera and power but wondered if there is any interest in this. I do I not have a solution but am asking. Thanks.

All you have to do is long press that button and becomes menu

remapped it in case anyone is interested
think long press goes to S finder

Good work, but long press is menu, I use it all the time.

--drl

I used xposed additions module to remap it. Also mapped the volume keys, home and power buttons to change music, play/pause and activate torch respectively while I was at it.

With root can we replace the quick launch camera app

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.

remap the Bixby button BUT NOT disable it

Hi, just a quick question.
I know there are a few apps to disable Bixby (bxAction, Custom Bixby Button).
However, is there any way to remap the Bixby button to other actions etc. open Camera.... and not disable the Bixby features?
What I mean is only disable the hardkey press and not 100% disable the Bixby including the Voice wake-up features.
Thanks and best regards.

Bixby remap rolled out - How to trigger Google Assistant?

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

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
