There are few differences in features available on the watch when using Samsung phone vs other brands. I know this first hand because I switched from a LG to a Samsung. But don't take my word for it, here's a chart that highlights​ the differences.

Fine on xperia Z5C
[Samsung Gear S2] erfack:
All go fine on p9 lite. No issues and good connectivity.

However you can pair with all Android (4.3+) and at least 1.5GB of RAM. I read that you can pair the watch to smartphones with 1GB of RAM, but you have to modify Samsung Manager apk, see https://xdaforums.com/gear-s2/help/pair-gear-s2-moto-g-t3323385.
[Samsung Gear S2] sushi1234:
Yes you can use it with smartphone that has 1GB of RAM, but you need to use a modified Samsung Gear app.

Modified Samsung Gear app is available on my blog, I will try to update it as frequently as possible.

[Samsung Gear S2] MiBan82:
First experience I connect Gear S2 to Sony Xperia Z3 compact. Connection without problem but Gear app crashed. I solve it by installing older version of Gear app from APK mirror ( app from april 2016). It have no limitation. It was probably caused by ROOT.

Next I connect it to Moto Z play. No problem at all.

using non samsung phones we lost all the paid apps, right?

Hi guys !

I got a tablet to repair from my nephew.

Original problem was that he broke micro usb port wrongfully plug-in it.

So I ordered one on aliexpress... No problem ;)

Second problem is that I didn't check sd slot prior disassembling tablet and there was a card in it and when I pulled on the screen it broke micro SD socket (spring and plastic came out) :'(

So now I have 2 fix to make on this ****

Tablet is a Asus Zenpad 10 aka P023 aka Z300C

I searched a lloooootttt yesterday but did not manage to find a replacement part

It has to be the same to get a match on pin position and number of pins and soldering points of the slot, also there is some kind of square on one side

I searched with the serial on it, ID of connector, googled socket / connector / slot, looking at pictures, ifixit...

Bellows are pics of the beast ^^

Any help on finding it is very appreciated :)View attachment 4123106

Hello I have bought mate 9 from Dubai which has latest EMUI Version 5.0.

When I started the phone nothing is showing on home page except No Recent App. I m not able to do anything . I can only see the apps or msg when I get the notifications.

I can see the apps and everything I but when I installed other launchers but those launcher get disabled automatically after sometime.

I have also done the factory reset and check and change the setting multiple time but no luck.

Please help as I am not able to get any solution of this issue anywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagan2:
Latest Update: Here we go! The Alpha_5.0 version of the App now supports the latest Samsung update. For those who haven't got the Samsung update yet, you will be pleased to know that BixBye will continue to work.

Latest Update: Tasker Plugin is now added - you can now BixBye to any complicated task.

Major Update: BixBye is now the only App to perform actions without launching Bixby itself (invisible to your slow, naked eyes!) :)

Hi everyone! After some private testing with some kind XDA members, introducing BixBye.

BixBye, lets you remap the Bixby button even after the Samsung patch, I have noticed more such Apps popping up. However, I have got some feedback that this one is a bit snappy. Let me know how is your experience.

As it goes without saying, the App is highly experimental and is in Alpha Stage, things may not work as you expect to. However, your feedback will definitely help me improve the App.

For this initial release there is some limited amount of options available, more will be added if the App works well for you guys.

Download from Google Play Store. (Please don't forget to leave a review at Google Play Store!)

BixBye in action:

[YOUTUBE]41ZnELwsTLw[/YOUTUBE]

UPDATE/NOTE: From the reports I have received so far, what I understand is that, Bixby itself is a bit inconsistent in its behaviour when the physical Bixby button is pressed. Sometimes it takes a single press to launch and at other times a double press or long press.

BixBye relies on Bixby to function. Once Bixby is in memory, you will notice that BixBye functions quite fast.

It's very likely that Samsung will issue more updates to improve the snappiness of Bixby itself, as a side effect BixBye will become even more snappy. So, updates from here on will be win-win for us. :D

Thank you [MENTION=1880506]bstapley[/MENTION], [MENTION=6133049]yaddam205[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4921161]xPr0metheus[/MENTION] for helping me test the App. :)

Thank you [MENTION=4117880]theherkman[/MENTION], [MENTION=4921161]xPr0metheus[/MENTION] and [MENTION=7347679]apoapostolov[/MENTION] who have especially helped me do countless tests to optimize BixBye for Lockscreen! A lot of patience and time, much appreciated!

With a little bit of work this can be the real deal. I especially like how it keeps the sliding animation for apps.

Everything is better than bixby...

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] zakariae:
I've installed it, remapped the Bixby-button to launch the camera app. and so far noticed two things.

1. When pressed Bixby is launched first, the the camera app starts right after.

2. When in camera app, I press the return key but the camera app keeps opening no matter how often I press return.

I'll keep testing and providing my findings :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kinarb:
Just gave it a try. The inconsistency was still there with Bixby in that you'd sometimes have to long press or press it twice for it to pop up. Bixby then popped up for half a second so on the third press the Camera app finally opened and every time past that it worked as intended. Great job Jagan, keep up the good work. I'll keep reporting any inconsistencies (if any).

Edit: Just tried rebooting the phone and it reset back to the state explained above i.e had to press the button a couple of times for the camera to consistently appear.

Edit 2: Appears very inconsistent at times where nothing happens even after 5-6 presses. I wonder why that is.

Edit3: New glitch where it will launch the camera but if i use the back button to attempt and close it or return to a previous app, it will display bixby behind it for half a second and then swap back to the camera - leaving it in the loop unless I go back to the home screen and close all the apps manual​ly.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] zone23:
The one thing thats stops me from using the remaps are that when Bixby is disabled it won't work. So I just have a unused button on the phone. IN other words it would be nice if it would somehow work with Bixby disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] xPr0metheus:
I could imagine that's because of ****ty RAM management.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] lmanlo:
I have the same problem I've kind of been trying to figure out what app I would like to use the button for but when I press the return key as well it just keeps going back to the app it opened.

For now went back to bxactions as don't appear to have that problem and works well. But hope it does get fixed for the rest as this one was the next no lag app.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagan2:
Regarding launch of Bixby, it's because of the Samsung's implementation itself. I have heard from many others that, sometimes it requires one press, double press etc, inconsistent. But from many users I heard it works fine, probably depends on the OS update etc.

[MENTION=1234432]zakariae[/MENTION] [MENTION=1575061]zone23[/MENTION], [MENTION=2691542]lmanlo[/MENTION]. Thank you all for the feedback, please try the latest version, I got reports from Galaxy S8 that it has the back button fixed and also no more Bixby show up. Let me know how it performs on S8+
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kinarb:
Just re-downloaded the version from the play store and while it took three or so presses for the Camera to pop up, there is no sign of bixby popping up and backing out of an app seems to be working as intended. Nicely done.

Edit: This was on a s8+
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] zakariae:
Im on the S8+ btw. I'll try the latest version. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Cass67:
S8+, works fine for me. Now button dumps me back at home which is improvement :) Wonder if we can remap this button to nothing so press does nothing?

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] KOLIOSIS:
Use Package Disabler Pro from the GooglePlayStore to disable all the Bixby .apks.................
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] djxn40:
Same. When you can use this button while Bixby bloatware is disabled I'll use it
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] xPr0metheus:
That won't be possible without root I assume.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] iggdawg:
I'm using an AT&T S8+, build ending in AQD9. And on Alpha 2, BixBye works like a charm.

Like OP says, Bixby itself is surprisingly unreliable in launching when its button is pressed. So I'd definitely point to Sammy as the root cause of inconsistency of launches.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] AndroidKills:
Damn this works like a charm (latest version), much appreciated.

One thing I notice with the app installed, there's a bit of a stutter/"lag" noticable. For example pulling down the notification bar and slowly dragging it back up, it's not as smooth. Same with scrolling through some other apps like Instagram there's a slight tiny lag. Tbh it's barely noticeable, but it's my OCD kicking in probably.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pedroc1999:
Now that we have root

Is there a more efficient way of grabbing the key press?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] djxn40:
My wife loves her dedicate camera button. I just disabled all of it. As I think it's dumb to add the extra button
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] 508bmartin:
Awesome! Works on my Verizon S8+ after update to launch Google Now. Launches even with AOD on!

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

A bug I just noticed fiddling around with it:

When you set it to Notification Drawer, when you click the button once, it works, but then click it a second time when the drawer is open, it brings up Bixby and leaves the Notification Drawer open.

Then I went to try and change it back to Google, it got stuck pulling the Notification Drawer. I had to switch it to Voice Assistant then back to launch app and selecting Google app from there.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] saifullah90:
Thanks now I have 0 reason to root good job
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] atomic.flip:
I can confirm there is indeed a slow down that occurs with the app enabled. Scrolling animations stutter.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagan2:
Latest version will help you with that!

BixBye does not poll whatsoever. BixBye uses bare minimum to detect Bixby, if it happens to cause lags then am really sorry, can't do anything about it. It is using minimum requirement to achieve remapping.

May be, may be not. This App's main focus will be to serve non-root users. :)

Unfortunate side effect. It's expected that you do not press Bixby button second time if Notification Drawer is already opened. May be in future will take care of that but it may result in some expensive operations on the phone, which I want to avoid.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagan2:
Update!

Version Alpha_3.1:

Removed option to opt-in for Hola Network's resource sharing.

If you find the App useful for your device and would like to receive more development, please consider donating. Also, it will remove Ads. :)

Version Alpha_3.0:

#1 You can now BixBye to "Toggle Flashlight" and "Nothing".

#2 Ads can now be removed for free.

#3 Added donate link, forum link and other miscellaneous ones.

What's next? A free Tasker plugin will be available in next update.

Thank you all for the support.

Download from Google Play Store.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagan2:
What's new in Version Alpha_4.0!

Tasker Plugin is now added - you can now BixBye to any complicated task.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] BraunFox:
thx man!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] robber:
Working well on my Sprint 8+.

What is also interesting is that this does a pretty damn good job at replicating swipe right into google now from the stock launcher if you set the open app to google. The animations are not all there obviously, but speed is great and you never see bixby!.

Great work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] magicoolje:
Hello,

I have just contribute for the cause :). I like the app and I want to see it growing :) Sincerely I don't know what to do the tasker plugin??? It is related to tasker program? If so...how can I use it with tasker? Sorry my dumb question :D . CAn you give me an example of usage with tasker?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagan2:
Glad to know that, thank you guys! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagan2:
Hi! Thank you, your contribution is much appreciated. The Tasker Plugin works with Tasker as you guessed it. With Tasker you can perform any complicated task whenever Bixby button is pressed (notified by BixBye to Tasker.)

This thread/post may not be a right place to have an elaborate tutorial on that, I recommend that you check out some tutorials on YouTube and some Google searches. It's covered extensively with lot of ideas/usage. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] LinS123:
Thanks for the app. It works really well almost everywhere. The only time Bixby launches now is when I press the button when the phone is locked.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] magicoolje:
Can anyone give an example of bixbye tasker plugin usage? How can I bind this button with tasker?

Question number 2 and 3 is for the developer.:

Can the app have an option for accidentally press the Bixby button in the pocket? The option can be like double or triple tap the Bixby button?

On lock screen bixbye app does not work? When the phone is locked and I press the button Bixby app starts.

Thank you!

Turning on Accessibility slow your device down.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] LVRealtor:
I just tried it. Nice work! Remapped to camera--no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] magicoolje:
Talk to the hand :))
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] magicoolje:
An option with sound level down will be great. Many times I hit the Bixby button instead the sound level down....Maybe this time I will not talk alone here :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagan2:
You're welcome! BixBye is not yet optimized for use on lockscreen, but you may expect updates soon.

I can add an option to open the sound panel on screen, but then that would be like: press Bixby button > launches sound panel on screen > use touchscreen to adjust.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagan2:
Hey Guys! I noticed that a lot of users are actively using the App on a day-to-day basis but very few have reviewed/rated the App on Google Play Store.

I request you all to leave a review/rating on Google Play Store, it would not only encourage me, but help every other S8/S8+ user to discover the App. Your time is much appreciated! :)

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] rudierieck:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] lukigva:
Generally works awesome. Instead of lock screen. Also second hit of bixby button, when is remapped to notifications, cause bixby turn on.

Works for me when launching an app like the camera but doesn't work when set to toggle the flashlight
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] The G Dept.:
I want this.

You can do it using Tasker + Autotools but it's too much work for my liking, I would prefer it as an option in BixBye
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] windowsdan4216:
Just use Tasker as the Bixbye button then map it to a task in Tasker...

use AutoTools beta plugin and select:

Secure Settings=>Immersive Mode=>Toggle

Then your​ Bixby button is immersive mode ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] mlock420:
How much battery does tasker use?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] windowsdan4216:
Not noticed any real difference. I'm not rooted or running any custom recovery. Just Tasker with a few tasks and the Bixby remap.

Seems just as good as out of the box.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] mlock420:
thank you sir

---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

Um I'm kind of overwhelmed with tasker I've downloaded auto tools beta now what lol?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] windowsdan4216:
Here to make life easier for you and others, I've attached the task as an exported XML ... Just import it to Tasker...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] mlock420:
I imported it but there is a red triangle next to it... and it just doesn't work
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] tanghao:
it looks nice
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] lildoggs:
Ha ha! Remapped the Bixby button to the xda developers app. Thank you so much for this.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] windowsdan4216:
Have you used adb commands to give AutoTools permission?

Have you installed the AutoTools beta?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] mlock420:
Yeah I got auto tools but I didn't know I would have to be in front of a pc since you mentioned adb..... that's why it didn't work because I didn't boot up adb... but thanks man I was trying to avoid the pc route
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] GermanGuy:
What is the adb command to give permission to autotools?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] windowsdan4216:
1: Enable Developer Mode.

2: Enable USB Debugging.

3: Install ADB on your PC.

4: Connect your device to a PC and look on your phone. A prompt should show up asking you to allow your phone to be debugged by your PC. Accept this.

5: Grant permission: Open a command line on your PC and write:

adb shell pm grant com.joaomgcd.autotools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] GermanGuy:
Unfortunately not working for me. Bixbye mapped to Tasker plugin. Autotools installed. Imported your Tasker file but they're is a red triangle next to it. I did run the adb command.

NVM. Did not have the beta version of Autotools installed
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] GermanGuy:
So, I am still trying to get this to work. It seems that your xml file got corrupted. I had to add Immersive mode to the task and the task by itself is working. However, Bixbye is not activating it. How do I tie in the Bixbye button press? Tasker plugin is selected in Bixbye app.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] windowsdan4216:
The Tasker being selected in Bixby just means you need to set a profile in Tasker with Event=>Plugin=>Bixby and attach the task to that profile ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Skyrocket2Paradise:
Hey thanks for the app I wanted to let you know that on my att S8+ the flashlight toggle doesnt work. It'll blink and then launch bixby
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] y2kkingboy:
I'm not getting this. Can anyone help me mapping to screenshot.

I bought tasker app and downloaded the autoinput app.

I looked​ at tasker and I blanked out. Didn't get a thing.

Update:

Got it to work. I guess I underestimated myself ;)

But honestly, it is not the same as when you are taking a native Samsung screenshot, so it doesn't work that well for my use case.

I'll stick with the flashlight for now and I noticed that double clicking works better if anyone is having issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] KING SKILLZ:
I have bixbye to launch gosms and its firing immediately! I donated and thanks for this!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] deliad:
I must have root to uninstall the app, otherwise it will do the selected action + open bixby
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagan2:
You're welcome! :)

[MENTION=987796]windowsdan4216[/MENTION], thanks for your helpful responses!

It should work as expected when the device is unlocked, if you meant the issue on the lockscreen, well just upgrade to the latest version (Alpha_4.1), it's now fixed!

Will try to add native screenshot capability in future version. :)

You're welcome! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagan2:
Update time!

What's new Alpha_4.1:

BixBye is now optimized for use on Lockscreen - however do note that you will see a flash of Bixby. Otherwise, when device is unlocked it would be as fast as you would expect.

Removed 'Notification Drawer' option, as it doesn't play well with BixBye - can't 'toggle' Notification Drawer with the button.

You can now BixBye to 'Back', 'Phone Dialer'.

The update is live on Play Store, download now!

Also, if anyone can make a short video review/tutorial with inclusion of 'Tasker' plugin please let me know, I will feature it on Google Play Store. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] y2kkingboy:
Thank you so much. It is just amazing that you are considering it.:D
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagan2:

Great app OP, works as intended once bixby is in memory ( as you've mentioned ) on my S8+. I have a feature request if it's not too much hassle? BixBye to Kill foreground app ( sort of like long press back to kill ).

Once again, great work buddy.
