Disabling the Bixby button - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
I picked up a Galaxy S9+ Duos in the Czech Republic yesterday and one of the first things I tried to do was disable the Bixby button - but, after logging in with my Samsung account and setting up Bixby, I find there's no settings cog as per screenshots from Galaxy S8 phones, and the triple dot menu only has very limited settings within, no option to disable the Bixby button unfortunately. Has anyone else had this problem? Could it be down to the way the Bixby app behaves in the Czech Republic?
Thanks!

Do you have this ???

No, I have a vastly simplified Bixby - it's missing Bixby voice entirely for example. See attached.

I have 2.1.09.7. Seems like mines old wondering if Samsung is Removing that option in latest update.

I have the exact same problem. I'm writing this problem everywhere. Support page of Bixby home didn't help. I already asked them 3 times. All they say is just hit the disable button which we don't have

Have you tried with bixby button remaper app? I have it and it woarks great

Simply, edit /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl and change key 107 to POWER instead of ENDCALL.

[XPOSE MOD] Remap double-press home to long-press search (No more SVoice!)

Hi!
I should probably start by pointing out that you need the Xpose Framework installed to use this! Click here for the Xpose APK and more information about it
I've been looking over the Xpose Framework recently and I've become really impressed with it. So in learning it, I went ahead and corrected a few of the things I didn't like about the stock TouchWiz ROM on our Note 2's. I thought I'd go ahead and share this mod because I think I'm not the only one who prefers google voice search over S-Voice. The best bit, though, is that long-press search is just a regular Intent that any app can answer, so you're not locked down to Google voice search either!
I've attached the HoldHome APK in the post below.
One of the other things I managed to 'correct' via Xpose was that snoopy SysScope app, incidentally. I'm a bit concerned about releasing that one though, for obvious reasons.
Hope you guys find this useful :fingers-crossed:

Will test this out after work. I have been using Home2Launcher, but would like not to... expect an edit around 2AM EST.
EDIT - unfortunately it does nothing for me, double press had no response. Disabled the home2launcher, rebooted after activating module, no luck...

Hmm. Did you disable the the S-Voice activation on home press setting in the SVoice app itself? (Menu button in the SVoice app -> Settings) You need to have that setting enabled so the mod can hijack the intent it generates.

I do not have S-Voice installed, guess this won't work for me...

Ah, there we go then. This is designed for the stock roms where S-Voice pops up if you double press the homebutton. Custom Roms would be too varied for me to target
Thank
It also gives option to other voice dialer like cyber on voice command,
Or can configure to voice calendar too.
Thank you.

Im running stock touchwiz on my Note 2, with the Xposed framework and I can't get this to work. The module is there and enabled. I have nova launcher installed but removed all gestures. I have disabled s voice option as you stated above.
Holding the home button simply brings up the multitasking menu. Double press does nothing now that I have disabled it in the s-voice settings.

Have you remapped the long press search? Long press home and you should see a magnifying glass. Hit that button and select Google Now.
Where do I remap the long press search? Like I said holding the home button simply brings up the multitasking menu. Double press the home button does nothing now that I have disabled it in the s-voice settings.
When you long press the home button and the multitasking menu comes up there should be 3 buttons at the bottom. One is a trashcan, one is to check the RAM and the middle button should be a magnifying glass. Hit that and set Google Search as your default. Here's two screenshots to show you before and after. It goes from magnifying glass to the Google logo.
Thanks works great for me ..t mobile note 2
Working as the dev says. Thanks

Works great here! Thank you!
Suggestion : upload your module onto the repo website so that it appears in the "downloads" section of Xposed 2.2...

You got it wrong... "s voice option" needs to be enabled.
Then next time you double click the home button, instead of having SVoice, you get a choice of apps which can react to a "search longpress" event (in TouchWiz ROMs, "double click the home button" = "search longpress").
For me, I could select among phone, widget locker, go sms, google now, secure settings,...
Select the app you want and click "this time" or "always" depending on what you want.
Done!
Very nice module!

Maybe I will try this out - could you set it to perform a 'secure settings' function, instead?

It seems so. But you need the PRO version of Secure Settings (which I don't have, so I cannot fully test).
Doesn't work work me. I still get the G icon instead of the magnifying glass. Svoice is enabled too.

What magnifying glass were you expecting? And where? "Long press search" is totally different than "search"...

This is the direction i'm following and i do not see the magnifying glass to set google search.
^
If you already have the G icon then you already have Google search... You don't need the magnifying glass. The magnifying glass comes up when you have S Voice disabled and nothing mapped to the search function. Disable S Voice and then use this module. Do you understand what this module is for?

ah ok thank you. stupid waste of a button if all you can have is google, & absolutely ridiculous you've got to hack your hardware to edit a menu option. guess they are continuously trying to remind us that the hardware we purchase is actually theirs, it wont be long before modifying your systems is criminal & punishable by 10 years in prison for blocking a few adds or is that the nsa/gchq!

Thanked wrong lol
That feature is there because Google implemented it in AOSP code. Sony works over that, and they do not remove stuff like that...

On my Z1 I managed to remove that "Google Now / Google Search" thingy normally appearing after a long hold of the home icon.
I went into configuration / apps / all (translated from German model) and deactivated "Google Search".
My personal device usage revealed no drawbacks so far.

It's an option, but it disables the app as a whole. That's not exactly a solution...

Hi, I don't know what I've changed on the AOD but the bottom on screen button doesn't work to move to the lock screen, it only works with the power button, many thanks.

You turned off unlock with home button in display/nav bar setting probably.
I think you should likely Google the features on your device and/or hit you tube...they are good sources for people new to samsung devices.
