Is there any way to use button without running all that Bixby crap? I know that its enough to leave Bixby voice service, but still thats one more unnecessary service running in background. And also actual remapping in all apps I tried is done by running original Bixby, then closing it and running my own selected app. Which is not what I really want to see
But I assume its not possible to do it directly without root?

Pretty straightforward here. In looking for some way to remap the long press back button to a long press menu button to bring up the multi-window sidebar. I think it just makes a bit more sense than back, to prevent accidental exits, because nothing bad really happens if you accidentally press menu. Maybe an Xposed framework module? There had got to be a simple way to do this. I've tried some hardware button remapping apps, but they only have general Android functions in them, no proprietary app stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to remap the capacitive menu button to the recent apps switcher (default long press of the home button)
and then remap the LONG press of the menu button to the menu function (I need the ability to use the menu button when within the stock samsung apps like messaging, because they use fixed layouts and their apps are designed without the menu overflow.)
also my question is would apps still detect the phone as having a hardware menu button? I would like to be able to have apps have the menu button and not rely on the hardware.
then maybe since I would no longer need the home button long press possibly remap that to kill the current app? (that is not as important but just a side note)
I have looked EVERYWHERE and can not find a viable way to do this on the stock rom. thanks

Hey guys... before people start jumping the gun, I know all about remapping the bixby button to another app.
What I would like to ask, is there any way to remap the Power Button to an app/action and the Bixby button to become the Power Button ? (without root)
I ask because I usually have my phone in my left pocket and it's just easier to use the thumb button for power rather than trying to find the power button on the other side of the phone.
It would have been nice if they gave us the option to assign specific abilities to individual buttons, for left and right handed users.
Thee is an app on Google Play called "bxactions" that might do what you are asking
The 'pro' version of the app does a lot more than the free version, which still allows some button remapping upto a point
There are quite a few Bixby button remappers out on Google Play Store, I've trued some of them and 'bxactions' seems to offer the better choices

Yeah, I found the bixby button remappers.
Haven't found any power button remappers though
Hi,
I got an S9+ a couple of months ago. Since I had little use for Bixby, and I kept accidentally hitting that key, I disabled said Bixby key. Also, I am using the Nova launcher because older Samsung and Asus phones and tablet taught me the efficiency of Infinite Scroll and I can't live without it anymore, so the leftmost desktop window dedicated to Bixby is gone and can be used for apps.
Now I tried to re-enable it and tadaaa, it's not possible. From what I have found so far, to launch Bixby you have to re-enable it, and to re-enable it you have to access the Settings menu when it is already launched . Sure, I can disable the Nova launcher, scroll to the leftmost stop-window with Bixby and re-enable the button. If it's still there, I don't dare look . But doing this every time I want to look at it will get old fast. So I was wondering whether there was a way to start Bixby without the button, like an app icon or something.
Thanks.
i disabled and wanted back so i hold screen down to home screen -> enabled bixby home -> swap right (to go left) -> enabled bixby key... dont know other way...that worked for me
Is there anyway to remap the home button? I'm looking for a way to remove google assistant from the button. I don't want to disable assistant, just remove it from the home button. I'd still like to be able to access the the assistant through voice and the shortcut on the homepage search bar.
I don't even want to replace it with anything, just prevent the assistant from popping up.
Thanks
