[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hdaackda:
I have a I9505 and it was working fine (samsung ROM), when I decided to 'encrypt' my device! It was fully charged and connected to a charger.

After starting, it stayed connected for 5-6 hours, but nothing was seemingly happening.. After 6 hours I switched it off. Then back on again.

The device after starting (just the system) didnt let me do anything else, and told me that since encryption failed, I need to format the device. So I restarted, formatted. Still same msg

Wiped the device completely. Still same issue. Tried changing file system from ext4 to ext2.. still same problem! I installed a couple of roms, they seemingly installed ok, but after starting, the same msg!

Please help me!

My bootloader is TWRP by teammate I think

You just have to go to settings and select an action. You can use different action when the phone is locked and when its not locked.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Eddiemc:
Preliminary setup:

Open the app and press “continue” on the splash screen.

Then choose the version you want: comfort or performance.

Hit ok on the splash screen AFTER READING IT which opens accessibility which enables you to:

turn on the service by scrolling down, choosing bxactions and the version that corresponds with your earlier option (comfort Vs performance) and turning it on.

Now hit back and you're into bxactions again. Press “ok”

You're now good to go.

Usage:

In bxactions choose “settings”

Here is where I assume people get lost:

Where it says choose actions and Google assistant is selected you have to press on Google assistant, and a popup will bring you a variety of functions to choose instead of that.

“Launch application” enables you to choose any app you want (game, browser, etc)

Good luck

I can use some help with Total Control mode. I was able to activate this mode and remapped the application to single, double, and long press. Single and double press open the mapped apps but long press first opens the bixby then the mapped app. Can I disable the all or some of the Bixby packages/services with the package disabler or do I need Bixby services running for bxactions to work? All I want is bxactions app to open the mapped applications without triggering Bixby. I don't use Bixby, so even if it means I have to disable Bixby services, no problem here. Thanks

updated to bxAction v3.0

Single press and long press not working /responding .

Only double press is working .

I am using control mode and compatibility mode for (AQG) on.

Using Hybird Pro mode

Switched blocking modes to Performance mode

and now only long press works .

Also if i stop bxAction ,Bixby does not respond to any button presses .

I also rebooted device ,cleared cache etc .Does not help .

Before latest update all previous bxAction versions ,was fine and working .

I am on stock Rom ,not rooted ,.

post note.

Manage to fix issue.!

I ran/installed apk in folder.... Phone/bxActon folder, over recent v3. 0 update from Play store.

I see version stays the same... v3. 0

Hybrid mode is working fine again.

This reinstall apk from device bxActions

folder, was not necessary with previous

version. (Total control.)

I only then activated via exe on pc.

and all was working fine.

I sorted my issues out .

In my case i have never ever( previously) disabled Bixby .

However ,after i updated bxAction and if i stopped bxAction ,

Bixby was not working /showing .

I managed to get bxAction working (as in my post above .)

I stopped bxAction and somehow managed to get Bixby started again .?

I had to set Bixby up from scratch again .

Afterwards i went back to bxAction and enabled it again .

bxAction and Bixby is working fine again .

Bit of a lag, but working ok

Yes my Nortons also sees exe file as a Trojan ?

I had to allow exe in Nortons ,

to get pass Nortons blocking and quarantine it .

Good luck

Quick question: I have frozen all Boxby services with Titanium. Does the button still work or do I have to enable them again?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] willcor:
Plse note the dev of bxActions Jawo mo states on his G+ page, that you must only disable Bixby Home, not the other Bixby related apps.

(He also stated that he needs it to work with his app) .

I have disabled Bixby Home (only) with package disabler and bxActions is working fast and smoothly

If you disable Bixby home, button will work if you have remapped button to another function.

eg. I have 1 button press back

2 Notification.

3.Tile settings

I use Nova Prime so i can call! /activate Google Assistant

anytime in any app or web browser. (except wake up)

So i did not assign button press for it. Not necessary.

It's not all that useful to quickly skip a track if I have to turn on the screen first, and I don't/won't use AOD.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] hijomojo:
First, let me say a big thanks for developing bxActions, Jawomo. I think you just set my record for "shortest try before buy" of an Android app.

Just here to make a suggestion (though, I'm a long time XDA visitor). I think there's some potential for you to be able to solve the physical design flaw Samsung created in placing the Bixby button (nearly) opposite the lock button on the S8 and (more so) on the S9. I was thinking there could be a function which blocks or cancels the user's bxAction if the lock button is pressed at the same time as (within a few milliseconds of) the Bixby button. Obviously this button issue might not really be an issue for some, so maybe it could be a configurable option. This would mean that locking/unlocking the phone using a certain grip no longer results in opening Bixby home (or triggering whatever the user has remapped the Bixby button to).

Reckon this is a good idea? More importantly, would it even be possible? I don't know much about the permissions or other system restrictions which might affect it.

Again, cheers for your work on this!
