Hi OP. App works great. However, if phone is off, and I hit the bixby button, camera doesn't launch. Phone screen just turns on. Can you fix this
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrtarrouk:
Works perfectly with me, would be nice if you add the "Don't Disturb" to the list :)

Update: After one day of working with it, it started to open the Weather app, I tried to switch it off then on, I tried also to change the action, but the issue is still there, anyone faced something like this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] ace-user:
Great app! I did not enable BixBy, and I use this app to remap the button, it's super fast! Hope the lockscreen bug can be fix in the future.

btw, do I need to set up bixby for this app to work even better?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] luismix:
Man, this works like a charm. A million thank to the developer! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] tardis_42:
Same issue here, it turns on the flashlight like I've set it to do, but it also launches weather.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] co.ag.2005:
Excited to try this. Quick Q, I haven't even opened or setup Bixby yet. Do I need to do that first before using BixBye?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] cyberfem:
I got bixbye to work and disabled/forced stopped Bixby, now there is no delayed opening of replacement app.

Has anyone remapped bixby button to the auto rotate screen on/off?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Seireiju:
Is there an option to have the button as a vibrate toggle, or plans to?

Switching from a OnePlus X and and iPhone, that switch was super useful.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] PieceofSlice:
I think something is wrong on my end. When I try to enable in settings I get "Bixye does not support the current system language. Text to speech language will be set to null." Then settings crashes...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] veekay:
Tried this on my wifes phone and not only did it still launch Bixby very clearly, but the phone would turn itself on right after you turned it off. Had to remove the program to actually keep the screen off.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] SavageCore:
Same issue after it working fine for days

Edit: Now working again after update to AQF7
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] infamousjax:
App is not very consistent.. and slower than other remappers. But the ads load perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] ChanceGPM:
"Back" function doesn't work for me. Otherwise works well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] tu3218:
Works pretty well here. Except from the lockscreen. Guessing there is no way around this? Wish it would jump straight to google assistant.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagan2:
Hey Guys! A minor maintenance update for the latest update issued by Samsung, Alpha_4.2 is up on Play Store.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagan2:
Thank you! Unfortunately, it's not technically feasible to smoothly kill the foreground Apps without root.

Thanks. And launching camera requires the phone to be unlocked (unless the system itself launches it.) So, this can't be technically overridden due to security. (One shouldn't be a able to launch an App without unlocking device.)

Perhaps there is an option to turn off weather tile/card in Bixby? Disable BixBye, launch Bixby, and remove weather card.

It's recommended that you setup and open Bixby atleast once before using BixBye.

You're welcome! :)

May be in future! :)

It's recommended that you enable Bixby and configure it atleast once before using BixBye.

Noted! Perhaps I would need to remove the function.

Google Assistant is like another App on phone. For security reasons, one can't launch an App without unlocking the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] cigarfan:
Sprint just sent an update out today. BixBye has stopped working. Re-downloaded and still no go.

What to do?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Peakyboo64:
Same hear on T-moble S8+?!!!

Update came 2 days ago. I swore i Was not going to take it. Just couldn't stand the reminders all day and seeing that stupid icon in my notifications. [emoji35]

Oh well you guys will get it back!!!

Hurry up ! Hahaha
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagan2:
Hi! Calling out all users on the latest T-Mobile (or another affected) update, please PM me your Skype ID and availability (with timezone.) To try out new workarounds for this update. Sooner or later similar updates will be rolled out to all S8, S8+ users. Any help would be much appreciated! :)
[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.

Download from Google Play Store!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Root-Maniac:
Just got my device yesterday and came upon this thread 5 minutes ago the app works flawless thank you very
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagan2:
Congratulations on your new device! :)

And am glad that it works great for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jabbarh123:
Thanks for this app. Tested on my G955F and this works like a charm. Best thing is the accidental press of Bixby while the phone is locked in my pocket has gone! Now when pressed with the screen locked, nothing happens, the screen turns on then goes off again. It works great when the phone is unlocked, like others you do see a flash of Bixby but then the selected app appears. Nice work :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagan2:
That's great to hear! Thanks and enjoy the App. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] MaxMusaab:
Hi. Thanks firstly to the developers, this is certainly one of if not the best bixby remaps especially on latest update. I would just like to request if possible to remap to things like volume up or down? Or maybe even power button? I'm not sure if that's technically possible but i certainly would appreciate that
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Holy cow... This... just works. I barely, BARELY, notice the Bixby screen. I got the option to pull up Google Assist and it's working flawlessly. Hot damn. Very nice work, dev! Donate coming your way!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] blane3298:
any way to use this with bixby disabled?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagan2:
You're welcome! :)

I don't see any merit in remapping the Bixby button to perform a function which the already existing physical buttons does. If you can give me a use case where it might be useful for majority of users, I would consider. Otherwise, if it's something that a specific use case for yourself, I would recommend using the Tasker plugin, which can let you do all sort of things.

Haha, thanks for your support. Enjoy the App!

No, currently there is no way to remap the Bixby button without relies on the functioning of the actual Bixby service.

###Disclaimer###
I am not responsible if your phone will be damaged, broken, boot looping.
YOU are choosing to make these modifications and accept the fact that something might go wrong.

Thanks [MENTION=479729]-=MoRpH=-[/MENTION] for Moto Z Play guide

you will need to root your device.

I did this mod on LineageOS 14.1, on stock 6.0.1 ROM I will do later, after downgrade and root.

Edit: can't do on 6.0.1 as I upgraded to 7.0 and 7.1.2 and no way to go back to 6.0

FYI: If you update OTA to Android 7.x you won't be able to downgrade to 6.0, I did and I can't, If knew before I would not upgrade yet, one reason is, there is no Xposed for 7.x yet.

You can upgrade to 7.x manually w/o replacing the bootloader.

You can use guide from benzinerwin which works w/o root, you need to unlock bootloader:

to enable Dual SIM I tried first in TWRP Terminal (I think maybe as su would work)

setprop persist.radio.multisim.config dsds

but did not work, don't know why, so I tried Multisim Toggle and it worked

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-multisim-toggle-t2830647

reboot and make sure you got the dual sim options in the Settings. (see picture below)

According to [MENTION=479729]-=MoRpH=-[/MENTION] guide, https://xdaforums.com/moto-z-play/how-to/guide-to-enable-dualsim-singlesim-t3570601

you have to delete both, griffin_2.img.gz and griffin_row.img.gz files and rename both DSDS files but I did delete just griffin_2.img.gz and renamed griffin_dsds_2.img.gz and it works, so don't know if it's necessary to delete and rename both files (I'll have to research and update later)

do the same for sheridan files, also see post from [MENTION=7319300]ottmi[/MENTION] https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72045868&postcount=36

Edit:

I just flashed AOKP ROM and renamed both files and also works.

Make backup of both files, /fsg/griffin_2.img.gz and /fsg/griffin_row.img.gz and/or backup /fsg partition with TWRP

for both, delete and rename, I booted to recovery TWRP and did it in TWRP File Manager

delete the baseband your phone use normally, on EU devices griffin_2.img.gz

rename the dsds files from griffin_dsds_2.img.gz to griffin_2.img.gz

Reboot to bootloader (Vol- and Power button) and on your PC/Mac enter

fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

now you should have both cards working.

This is work in progress, will be updated later.

Below the Dual SIM tray to see how to place the 2nd SIM

You can modify the original SIM tray to fit 2nd sim, see pic 3, you have to cut the extra material on both sides

Do it on your own risk, if you do something wrong you may brick your phone or damage SIM card tray or connectors.

Please don't PM me for a how-to step-by-step guide.

Did you have to cut the SIM holder?

Also, was you second IMEI a zero or a valid number?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] xequtor:
if you use microSD with 2nd SIM then no need to cut the SIM holder if you glue the SIM to microSD, otherwise you may need to cut the extra material

https://static.mydealz.de/live/comments/full_screen/HBsjw/13883078.jpg

2nd IMEI is 0

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] benzinerwin:
In case "setprop persist.radio.multisim.config dsds" as well as Multisim Toggle does not work, try this alternative:

Applies to Lineageos, with root enabled (e.g. supersu installed)

Option A: command line mode

activate developer mode

developer options: enable terminal app

run terminal app, grant root access when requested

su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd /system
cp build.prop build.prop.orig
echo ro.hw.dualsim=true >>build.prop
mount -o ro,remount /system

reboot

Option B: root file explorer mode

you need a root-enabled file explorer, e.g. FX or Root Explorer, ES File Explorer etc.

navigate (in root mode) to /system

make '/system' read/writable (menu: 'mount read/write')

optional: make a copy and rename it to e.g. build.prop.orig

open build.prop in a text editor and move to the very end

append the following line:

ro.hw.dualsim=true

save the file

make /system read-only again, or just ...

reboot

Can someone please confirm what the basband version should read after the switch to dual sim? Mine used to be "M8996_1239.53.01.126R SRS" and is now "M8996_1239.53.01.126R SRD". Does that seem right?

I'm asking because the phone still doesn't detect the 2nd SIM card. Could be a mechanical problem though as I wasn't sure where to exactly place it on the tray..
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] aoleg:
I ordered a (supposedly) dual-SIM version of the SIM tray from Aliexpress. The seller was not quite sure about whether or not the tray can take two SIM cards, but I decided to get it anyways: if I need to cut anything, I'd rather cut a spare.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] xequtor:
with AOKP nightly_2017_04_23_0933, I have "M8996_1223.32.01.109R"

Sometimes, when the 2nd sim is placed too much to the top then I don't get contact but I just glued it with double side tape to a microSD

I have two original moto z single sim trays so I just cut the extra material on the spare tray.

You don't need to cut the material if you going to use microSD+2nd SIM hybrid mod but then you have to "cut" the 2nd SIM

here the 2nd sim orientation
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] ottmi:
Doh. I didn't even consider that the orientation of SIM2 would be different from SIM1. I've just turned it around and now it works. Thanks a lot!
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] xequtor:
glad it works for you.

which ROM do you use?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] ottmi:
Stock Nougat with March 2017 patches, i.e. Build NPLS25.86-31-1
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] linuxartist:
Basically just run through the steps in Post 1, stick the SIM into the tray, change the modem and off you go?

That sounds way to simple, Imho ;)

Any chance, you could post a picture of your sim tray?

I'm a total root/custom rom noob, but shouldn't DualSim work with a DualSim tray and an official version of the Moto Z Android from a country where DualSim works (e.g. France)?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] xequtor:
in theorie yes, but I did not see any FR ROM so I did not try.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] ottmi:
Exactly, I didn't root the OS but only unlocked the bootloader and set the multisim property in TWRP. I will post a pic of my SIM tray later tonight, but it's really ugly as I did cut both, the SIM and the tray.

There is only a generic European firmware. The differentiation happens in the bootloader where the ro.boot.dualsim flag is set accordingly. Init then sets persist.radio.multisim.config and this is the property the phone app (and others) later evaluate. That's why dual-sim can be enabled by setting the persist.radio.multisim.config property in TWRP. Another way would be to modify the boot.img and the init script accordingly.

Could it be possible for Lenovo to enable DualSim via an Android Update (so users don't have to root)? DualSim out of the box (with the appropriate tray) would be a great selling point for the Moto Z.

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] PrinzVonP:
Thx for the Guide xequtor!

I unlocked, flashed twrp, then turbo z kernel, then supersu root. Software still stock with april update.

I then used the multsim app and see the dual sim functions.

I deleted and renamed the griffin files in twrp filemanager and reset the modems in fastboot.

I glued the sim on the sd-card right next to the first sim (h.t.t.p....static.mydealz.de/live/comments/full_screen/7CvV8/13887581.jpg).

Now i have the problem, that only the first sim is recognized :(

After that I testet the cuttet sim in die first port and there it still works.

I testet several positions of the sim on the sd card (high/low) but noting worked.

How can i be sure that there is not a software problem?

Thx

Baseband is now: M8996_1239.53.01.126R SRS

Build-Nummer: NPLS25.86-30-12

Safetypatch Level: 2017 April 1st
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] ottmi:
I suppose the IMEIs are stored somewhere in NVRAM and would be possible to update that accordingly to add a 2nd IMEI. But why would they? There's a reason why they're shipping this devices as single-sim when the hardware actually allows for dual-sim. My guess is: the providers don't like dual-sim phones and in markets where Lenovo sells a fair amount of phones via the providers they don't sell dual-sim phones.

I don't think it's a problem with the position of the card on the tray. I can pretty much put my sim in an arbitrary position on the tray and it still works (now that I'm putting it in the correct orientation ;) ). What does your baseband read? Does it end in SRS or SRD (on stock ROM. AOSP and LineageOS seem to omit this string) ?

Did you somehow thin the sim card before glueing it to the sdcard? I tried to do this but wasn't able to push the tray back into the phone as the combo sdcard/sim was to thick..

EDIT: Just read your updated post. I think SRS means single sim. Mine switched to SRD after the modification. How did you do the FSG changes? Did you do the fastboot erase commands afterwards?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] PrinzVonP:
Thx for your answer. While you answered i saw the difference SRS/SRD on your first posting. I must have made a mistake while renaming. I did in the file manager of twrp.

I backed up with es fileexplorer beforen. And i now see that i also made a mistake while backing up and only have the row file.

Is it possible that you send me your dualsim griffin_2.img.gz file? I'll send you a pm with my mail adress.

I have done the modem erase already several times :(

Thanks in advance!
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] benzinerwin:
Don't you have a backup of the FSG partition (TWRP)?

It's best to restore the entire FSG partition and go on from there instead of maybe messing things up even more. You can restore the FSG partition using fastboot and fsg.mbn:

Extract fsg.mbn from your latest stock rom zip of e.g. from this one here: h*t*t*p*s*:*//firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto%20Z/Stock/XT1650-03/XT1650-03_GRIFFIN_TELUS_7.0_NPL25.86-30_cid50_subsidy-TELUS_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

Boot into bootloader

Flash it..

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

Boot into recovery

Mount fsg and do the said changes via file explorer or terminal

Boot into bootloader

Erase modemst1, modemst2, cache and reboot
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] topcaser:
Did I get that right that we can use two sims together with the sd card?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] xequtor:

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] PrinzVonP:
Thx 4 help [MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]. But i haven't solved my problem at all.

I flashed the fsg.mbn with fastboot and all files were back. :good:

First i tried to delete and rename the files with the es file explorer (failure when i try to delete) and total commander (always tries to remount the fsg partition r/w). Is this a normal behaviour? That the fsg is not changeable in root mode?

Then i deleted (the files without dsds) and renamed the dsds files again in twrp. That seems ok. But after every file operation i got the message "Updating partition details... done Unable to mount storage Full SELinux support is present.

I re-mountet fsg and the changes i made are visible. Also in ES File Explorer.

I directly bootet out of twrp to fastboot mode and

C:\Users\David>fastboot erase modemst1

erasing 'modemst1'...

OKAY [ 0.156s]

finished. total time: 0.172s

C:\Users\David>fastboot erase modemst2

erasing 'modemst2'...

I got the 2 sim cards in the settings.

What I don't really understand is the tray. My SD card and the first sim are on the same level. If I place the second SIM on the SD card, it is higher than the first and I can't close the tray.

Note that there are baseband files in fsg not only for griffin but also for sheridan. My phone reports as:

[ro.mot.build.oem.product]: [griffin]
[ro.product.device]: [griffin]
[ro.product.name]: [griffin]
[ro.boot.device]: [sheridan]
[ro.hw.device]: [sheridan]

And I have to do these modifications for sheridan to make dualsim work (actually I did it for both and didn't bother to check whether modifying the sheridan files only is sufficient).
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] PrinzVonP:
Thx!!!! That was the solution. I renamed the sheridan files and now it works.

Probably that should be added in the guide on the first page. I'll think that there will be a lot of other users with the same problem...
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] xequtor:
hmm, I wonder why the sherida also has to be renamed, is it country/provider specific ?

I'll update the guide.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] xequtor:
I did just for griffin and it works for me, maybe provider specific as I'm in same city as you are.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] xequtor:
I updated first post, see pic 3.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] xequtor:
yes, I testet with both.

But not at the same time, just one SIM can be selected for data.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] ottmi:
No, it's not. Baseband files are loaded by /system/bin/rmt_storage. I just checked the strings in that binary, and it seems to evaluate ro.hw.device to decide which baseband to load. What value does this property have on your device? I'm assuming it's griffin?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] benzinerwin:
Originally, I did the changes to griffin as well as to sheridan because I also noted the lines [MENTION=7319300]ottmi[/MENTION] mentioned. However, my phone acted upon the griffin files.

I guess it depends on in which stage of the startup process the modem partition is being restored - either the bootloader does it in an early stage - then I'd expect the sheridan files are picked. If it's being done in a later stage, it's probably the griffin files. Anyway - applying the changes to both, griffin and sheridan, will do no harm & you can be sure that it will work.

About the changes: best practice would be to rename the files you normally would delete and make symlinks for the new taget files and leave a short readme telling about what you did there. Also keep an image of the fsg partition, just in case you want/need to restore everything to its original state. Reason for being careful: some of those files are just symlinks and they keep the connection to their original files even after you rename either one. This can easily be confusing. Other than any android root file explorer app I'd prefer to do the changes via TWRP's terminal or TWRP's file explorer. You may also erase the modem partitions within TWRP so that you wouldn't need a rooted android system or a PC connection, fastboot & drivers etc. (Then I'd strongly recommend using a USB keyboard & mouse, though).
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] ottmi:
Which TWRP are you using? I'm using the one from twrp.me and that mounts /fsg only read-only. So there's no editing whatsoever. I then mounted the fsg image on my Linux desktop, modified the files there and flashed it via fastboot. That worked, but I would really like to create a flashable update ZIP to do that automatically..
