Bixby key Remapping - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Remapping of Bixby key comes to Note8. Samsung pushed update in Galaxy Store.

"remapping" consist to select if you want press 1 or 2 times the button for bixby opening....is not a real remapping.

version 3.0.02.6 installed on my phone right now but I couldn't find such an option.

Nice I got it and couldn't be more happy, update through galaxy store you will update 3 new package

Yup, working great.
Single press opens Google, double Bixby
I've always used bxactions to do this, but the inbuilt remapping now seems much quicker to open Google

Can't find the upgrade anywhere... can anyone get me some more detailed steps to finding the update? TIA

If i swipe left to right, opening bixby home and it hasn't this option. But if i press bixby button opening bixby voice and it has this option.

You can now remap either the single press or the double press to open a quick command, or any other app (such as camera). How is that not "real remapping?"

Go to your Galaxy Store and check for app updates.

I had to go into the bixby voice setting then to the About Bixby Voice button at the bottom of that screen and it had the update button there, not in the Galaxy Store.
Hope this helps.

Because i'm talking about the first update where there is no option to remap single or double press.

Launching an app is nice and all, but i would preffer if i could just put the phone on vibration mode -on or off - but i guess this is not coming so..

Oh. We are talking about the new update that allows real remapping.

@drmilosh
Actually you can map almost any command to the button. Choose from different standard quick commands of define your own, choose from settings...
Playing around, I could set phone to vibrate... As long as you could Bixby to do something, you can map it to the button...

[Q] No search button on Galaxy S2? Solved

Not sure if you guys are aware, but if you keep the menu button pressed for a couple of seconds it becomes a search button?

I'm aware of this, just when I tried out pressing the buttons haha
But I've read this once, cause it works the same way in SGS I as far as I can remember
Awesome! Thanks!
Does that mean however there will be no "one button" way to get to voice search?

Double clicking the home button opens Samsung's voice control app.
i would like a search app equivalent (as in my atrix when i am in applications section i can press search button and i can search witin my own installed apps)
i see no equivalent for this on the galaxy, am i missing something?
but how can I add an installed app to the researchable item list of "Google search"?

[APP] Button Remapper for ICS and JB

Hi guys! I just want to share this app, called Button Remapper. I saw this in a thread here in XDA a year ago and I can't seem to find the right thread so if anyone claims din message me.
Anyhows! I'll share this so you wouldnt tend to mess up your power button, not to press it every now and then, every time you lock and unlock your phone.
Well, it saves your power button. I use this app for that, replacing the function of the capacitive search button and make it act as a power button. It make me not to use the power button frequently and makes a perfect tandem for "wake up volume rockers" option found in any CM and AOKP. As long as you install the app, there are other buttons you can remap.
I've learned that stressing the power button my cause digitizer failure.
Syntax:
-Download attachment file
-Install as normal APK
-Enjoy

[Q] Home Button-Clear All Apps Issue

Hey folks, I just updated to MK2 and rooted with "Saferoot".....It seems like most things are functional........but, now when I long press the Home button the Power Off/On, etc. options come up just as they do when long press the Power button.
Any one know of a fix to get the task manager back when long pressing the home button?

Is your phone in "easy mode"? Settings/My device/Home screen mode
Other than some application having changed that button, that's the only setting I know of.

Nah. I'm using the Nova gesture because I couldn't get the home button to work...
Is pretty odd to me that long pressing the home button pulls up the power options. It would make more sense to me if long pressing did nothing at all rather than performing a completely different function than what is programmed. How does that even happen?

Google Assistant button Remap

Hi dears,
I would share here our analysis/solution about the way to remap the Google Assistant button with other features... e.g. the camera.
Thanks for your collaboration.
I like the double tap for Lens. I like the hold down for voice. I wish the single tap would take you to Google Discover feed though. Seems like tapping it and holding it down pretty much do the same thing.
I'd like to disable it altogether because my big hands keep activating it.
Or maybe a Double-Tap to activate it (or any other programmed App).
Thanks, I'll be watching closely.
Disable Google Assistant key ALL MODELS
Here is where disable the Google Assistant key
I agree. I like the HOLD to open assistant. I love the double tap to LENS. I ****ing hate single press to open assistant. I constantly hit it on accident.
Disabled
I had it disabled from the start. It's an insult (as always) to force functions on you without options. I never use assistant and never will. It's a simple thing for Lg and/or Google to give us plenty of options, in this case, to remap to anything we like.

Someone started digging in to this on the G7... Let's keep an eye on it!

Important Note!
It is possible to change the assistant button to launch the Amazon Alexa app.
So maybe it would be possible to get a custom app to show up in the selecton menu.
(See attached screenshots, they're german though.)
Sadly enough,

That only assigns the home touch button
and several apps can do that...

Alright... I should have tried that before pointing it out... In fact if you set it to Alexa, hitting the Assistant Button will prompt you to change it back to Google Assistant instead of either launching Alexa or just bringing up Google Assistant... Which basically makes the button completely pointless...
Has there ever been a more pointless hardware button than the 'Google Assistant' button?
Root/Xposed is possibly the solution.
Is it possible to remap the button by using Google Play Apps like this ones?
Button Mapper -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton
Buttons remapper -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.irishin.buttonsremapper

Offtopic: Haven´t there been options to format postings at XDA-developers (bold, underline, links etc.)?
Maybe some LG product manager reads all this threads about us, wanting the "Google Assistant Button" to be remappable to any other app. But maybe not...
Please don´t just write here about your anger, but start doing something more. Help LG to see, that there is room for improvement.
It is possible to contact LG via an email form. If they got an email from everybody in all this threads - maybe they´ll start thinking about changing something.
And please keep in mind, that one customer complaining means many more (probably thousands) thinking the same thing.
I wrote to them and choosed "Product Operation" at the "Type of inquiry" field and asked how to change the button remapping. If you want to write to them too - here are the links to the feedback forms:

PSA the pro version of Button Mapper now supports the LG Google Assistant button... not sure if you need root. I can confirm working great on stock rooted Pie with lots of options for the button functionality. It will cost you 5 bucks though...

Question Power button Google Pay/Wallet

Hi, does someone of you know how to map google pay to the power button. On my last phone i just had to press the power button twice and my card was visible
The 1 IV starts the camera when i do this, which is redundant in my opinion because we have a dedicated camera button.
Would appreciate the help

Thank you for your answer, so there is no built-in way to do it? I have to root and install this (with optional xposed module)?

Yep that's the only way. But you can use it without xposed. Using Accessibility
