Hi, I can't find thé option to only remap thé bixby button, is it still an issue the accessibility suttering ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
Accessibility stuttering was an issue specific to Android 7
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] isisky:
Ok thanks, just bought you a coffee ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
Button Mapper on the Play Store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton&hl=en

If your device is rooted, you have complete ability to remap the Bixby Button. You can disable the Bixby assistant, it does not need to be enabled for this to work. There are no compromises with this method. You can get rid of Bixby and program whatever single, double and long press actions you want.

If your device is not rooted, you can still remap Bixby using an experimental method. This method also works with Bixby disabled, and will allow you to map whatever actions you like to a single press or long press. It requires running a command in adb shell once. After this, the Bixby button can be remapped with Button Mapper. A slight inconvenience, but it works.

If you don't like the stuttering that occurs on Samsung devices with certain Accessibility features enabled, got to Advanced Options and select "Remap Bixby only"

Sweet, installing this now. I'll let you know if it works on my phone. Just what I was looking for.

---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------

It works fantastic on my cricket wireless s8 with unlocked firmware on it. Just tells me I will need to resubmit the adb command anytime I restart my phone. No big deal. This is great. No more Bixby..haha.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SoLdieR9312:
Its working just fine, i do not have any bixby apks on my device, and with root even working with screen off. Thanks [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] for your great work again.

Bought Premium already!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sswagonman:
Installing now thanks [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

sent from dans R.I.C.E powered V8+ on one of jesses kernels
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t12icky0:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] can you do the commands in terminal emulator or does it need adb shell?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
Needs adb shell, no way around that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t12icky0:
No big to me, well worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
The only time I ever reboot is for system updates, so not a big deal for me either.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Paradoxxx:
Hi flar,

Quick question, I already remapped my Bixby button to ASSIST action to have Google assistant on button press.

I am therefore rooted.

Would I need to remap the button to the stock feature, or can I leave it like this ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] asjstian:
Works like a charm ? thanks ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. You should be able to remap whatever you like. With root you can do almost anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Borfas:
best!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nerddd:
This is great!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Paradoxxx:
My question is, should I revert the Generic Keylayout to its original state to use that app properly or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t12icky0:
The only issue I have seen is now the volume slider only has 4 steps of volume instead of the 15 steps it used to have. When I do a volume up up or down it goes 25% each way. I uninstall this and it goes back to normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steelersmb:
Am I missing something or what is the ADB command that I need to use?

Never mind.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
Oh I see. You should not need to change the key layout, the point of the app is to modify without having to do that. It may not even work correctly if you've modified the keylayout file.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nerddd:
Really appreciate this app! Got the pro already.

About the Tasker intent, how does it work really?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CrazyCypher:
Can't wait to test this app, although I have a question..why does this app needs access to observe the text you write, thy is this needed? Until now I used bxActoins which did not needed this but yours doesn't need bixby services enabled so I would like to try it.. I'm just curious why is this needed :)

EDIT: Just tried the app and its working really really well, I am very pleased with the result on non-rooted phone :) Is there a way to add the google now screen scan option to open? I used to get this smart screen search with the google now on my HTC 10 but now with this I can only see it opens either google assistant or google search..

Thank you for all your hard work, I appreciate it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steelersmb:
App works great but it's limited on the functions of the button. Would be nice to be able to start up any app. Also, after uninstalling and rebooting, I can't seem to get bxActions to work again. The button is just disabled and doesn't do anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CrazyCypher:
You can launch any app, just select Actions and pick Applications and you will get a list of apps
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steelersmb:
How do you go back to Bixby or BxActions?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
You are unrooted? Run the add command with the -h flag to see a list of options. I'm traveling at the moment, do can't remember the flag, but there is one that will restore bixby and remove the keyevent service
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steelersmb:
Thanks, that does it. I'm giving it another shot now though with your program. Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Technicolors:
what's the adb command i need to run?

Also i noticed that the app causes stuttering when scrolling. this occurs with the other app Bixbye as well
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steelersmb:
The command is: adb shell sh /data/data/flar2.homebutton/keyevent.sh
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] otonieru:
I remap the bixby button to trigger Greenify ＂Sleep & Hibernate＂ shortcut,

It took like 1secs or so for the action to be done after i pressing the button. Is it normal? [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

I make same shortcut to that action for my home button long press. And it surprisingly do it in an instant

Great app anyway, finally can get rid of all bixby apk.

Bought the pro already as well. Thx !

And the flashlight toggle function is not working on S8 btw :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CrazyCypher:
When scrolling where?

Seems to be working perfectly fine on my S8...Stock ROM, unrooted...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] djkinetic:
I tried this command from terminal emulator on the device itself and got permission denied
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
Flashlight works great on the S8. Did you give the camera permission?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
Needs to be done from adb shell
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steelersmb:
You can't do it on the device. It's in the second or third message.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t12icky0:
A really annoying thing is unless i restart my phone anytime I do this the volume acts up. It only firs 25% increment jumps each way.

Besides that it works great. Is there any reason why this would effect volume?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CrazyCypher:
You have to execute the command via PC

---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

I noticed one time volume buttons acted up when pressing only one time it slipped 5-6 steps but I had bxActoins installed then. Now I have this and everything is working ok..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] god of shadows:
same issue here

any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t12icky0:
Only solution I have found is to restart the phone and redo the command. Then it's up in the air when the problem will start again.

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

It's happening everytime I use this. I don't have bxacctions installed so it's not that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CrazyCypher:
Try reboot, then again reboot before doing anything and then after second reboot try command again.. it's working for me on stock ROM unrooted S8..m
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
There is no change to volume unless you use button mapper to remap the volume keys. Then the behavior might be slightly different, but I never noticed anything. I can't check now because I'm travelling and don't have the S8 with me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Technicolors:
thanks, but i got a permission denied when i tried running it. also ran it on my PC with adb shell

there's stutter when scrolling from anywhere. chrome, reddit apps, settings, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CrazyCypher:
Weird..I don't have any stuttering anywhere..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Hoffmanns:
Great app :)

All working great and quick :good:

Only one thing missing me in actions for buttons :D

Sounds mode: - mute - vibrations - sound

Is it possible to add these actions?

For Bixby button?

Thank you very much :):good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t12icky0:
No I don't have any volume mapping at all. This usually happens randomly in time. The volume increments will last for a few hours then sometime after that it'll just change.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
The only other possibility is if you enabled swap volume on orientation or default to media volume. If neither of those are enabled, this app doesn't touch your volume.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t12icky0:
Yea I thought so. But once I uninstall it the volume goes back to normal. Maybe it's conflicting or something with another app. Hmm, I'll have to dig into this one. No big cuz I always have by surface pro so I can just reset the command when needed. Thanks for the fast responses.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] otonieru:
Happen to me once as well.

Clear app data fixed it. It seems if we used to map volume once, but decide to revert it to default, the app can't really "clear" the history,

And the left over cause the weird volume steps issue
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
I can't reproduce any issue with the volume steps. I've tried every combination of settings and the steps are always 100% identical to stock (as they should be, according to my code).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CrazyCypher:
I really love this app.. no bixby enabled, I could disable all bixby related apps / processes using bk disabler and this app is working great.. again avoided to root my phone ?

Edit: I was always annoyed by the thing that volume is not directly configuring media but ringtone on my previous phones, but S8 has an option is settings to control media immediately, so I can skip this option on button mapper ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Borfas:
I paid for what? For your tests? sir! Pretty please be gentleman, the application was good at first (as it was). Now your app deserves nothing!

What are you doing here ... there are millions of free ones! The application image looks like it's for all buttons.

In fact, it only makes 10% of what you showed us at first. I am exhausted by beggars.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
Nobody forces you to buy the pro version and it does exactly what it says. You can remap all the buttons on the S8 without buying pro. All I've done is make improvements and these required a lot of late nights and taking a few days off work. Yet all the new features are available for free. I'm sure other apps will copy my innovations and I will get nothing out of it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Borfas:
What do you say, smells of the beggar! Why are you asking for money? You say you have nothing to take, yet they! I do not like liars! My money worked, are they worthless? What a bastard!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
I think you're confused. You can remap all the buttons on this phone for free (i.e. without the pro version). How is that begging?

And besides, why shouldn't I make a few dollars for my efforts? Do you know how many hours I put into developing this? Do you know how many users I have to deal with every day? This is not easy money. The vast majority of app developers are not rich. The money I make from this app doesn't even cover my student loan payment. If I were a rational person, I would not spend so much time on this. I would spend it on something much more lucrative, in a field where people are not disparaged for asking a small price for their work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Borfas:
The application was not fully functional without the pro version. now it is! You got hold of money and run away.

groom be it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
Yes, I've quit my job, paid all my debts and now live in a gold-plated mansion on my very own tropical island. All thanks to Button Mapper! You should really get to work on your own app.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
Anyways...I apologize for the OT. Tonight I'm working on the next update, hoping to push it to the Play Store before I go to bed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] god of shadows:
thx flar2

using your app for a week.

everything is fine.

love to see more features and updates
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t12icky0:
The app is great. Don't listen to the haters. Do your thing, time is money..haha.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
I just pushed version 0.44, with some minor bug fixes and a new option to have smoother scrolling.

This new option can be toggled in Advanced Options->Experimental Options->Remap Bixby only. With this option enabled, you can remap Bixby without suffering from choppy scrolling. However, you will no longer be able to remap the volume buttons (because they require the Accessibility Service settings that cause choppy scrolling on Samsung phones).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] miyavi1216:
I ran "keyevent.sh", bixby doen't start even if you uninstall this application.

How do I get back bixby again?

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

ok I understood.This sh file disable "bixby home".

turn on "bixby home" using BK package disabler, when use bixby again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
Or you can run the adb shell script with different options:

$ adb shell sh /data/data/flar2.homebutton/keyevent.sh -h
Usage:
-d disable Bixby Assistant
-e enable Bixby Assistant
-x stop keyevent service
-u uninstall keyeventd
-i install and start keyevent service
-s start keyevent service
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] otonieru:
Tried to set up custom action on volume,

Return it to default,

And restart

Check the volume steps again.

Thats how i reproduce the problem on mine,

Btw, just leave alone those haters,

I know you from your other works as well, and i simply purchased your app because i know its you.

And i cant be happier to be able to remove all bixby apk, yet still can have the button assigned to custom action.

Keep up the good work ! Thx
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bob8x:
For now, 1 day of usage, for remapping bixby button I've got no issue.

I'm unroot so I used the adb method to use quick-settings, in this days I'll use the tasker intent..

I have only one very very small note that at the beginning made me think of failure..

When executing your bash script, it tries to stop the bixby service (which was already disabled with a lot of others bloat) and it fails to do it.

I don't recall the error but sounded as it was a fatal error, anyway it went forward to install your service.

If you have spare time maybe change the return message or document it saying that if you have alredy disabled bixby you'll se a nasty error :P
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bonstio:
I ran the command from a connected linux box and saw the below error :(

$ adb shell sh /data/data/flar2.homebutton/keyevent.sh

Add -h to the end of this command for more options

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t12icky0:
Well so far after uninstalling bxactions and then clearing the cache on the phone I haven't had an issue since with the volume.

I also updated so maybe that helped.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t12icky0:
Spoke to soon. With update 0.45 i just installed, I now cannot enable it at all. I've tried the command about 20 times. Now it's also constantly having the volume issue whenever I enable the new code in and. Until I reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
Uninstall, reboot and reinstall it, maybe some remnent of the previous release. Not sure what that volume issue is. This app doesn't affect the volume at all unless you specifically enable it, and even then it works normally.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t12icky0:
I've tried that. I put the code in, it says button mapper needs restarted and then nothing happens. Anyway to get the 0.44 apk? I know that one at least worked for my specific phone..lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CrazyCypher:
But accessibility service in setting should be enabled either way, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
Looks like it stops working if you disable Bixby Voice with a package disabler

Reenable Bixby Voice
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t12icky0:
Awesome, that worked, strange thing also. I restarted my phone and without having to enter the command the button mapper was working.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
You don't need to redo the command any more

I expect Samsung to put an end to this with the next update. Luckily there is nothing Samsung can do about my other method.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CrazyCypher:
I disabled all bixby related packages and your app still works perfectly, how is that? I did ADB command and enabled non-root method and enabled remap bixby only.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SnowFire:
Hi, flashlight from screen off and lockscreen is working well with Bixby button. Nice work!

Is there any way or chance to get to open camera spp from locked lockscreen (like swiping screen to left) or even waking up from screen off and opening camera? Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Chronzy:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

Um.. just read [MENTION=2331395]Borfas[/MENTION] idiotic comments and wanted to say how much I've appreciated your work across many devices over the years. Undoubtedly android royalty and shouldn't be spoken to like that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] otonieru:
"Customize" Toggle will turn itself OFF after reboot,

Is that normal behaviour [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] ?

Am on "bixby only" option btw

That toggle aside, everything work well
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] djkinetic:
I've tried the command from both term emulator and from a PC and gotten permission denied on both not sure if it has to do with the fact I'm using a g955u1 (unlocked us variant) obviously not rooted but I can't get the command to execute.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] joncy92:
Good work. Ran the shell script and disabled bixby button.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
Make sure you have the latest release (0.45). With the latest release, all you need is

adb shell pm grant flar2.homebutton android.permission.READ_LOGS
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
Not normal, I just rebooted and it is still enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CrazyCypher:
Latest version working perfectly with non-root method. But in the app it still says old ADB command instead of the new one that sticks after reboot. Thank you for all your hard work.

Bixby Voice should not be disabled for this to work, although no bixby popup anymore and it's working really fast
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CrazyCypher:
Also, is there any way do prevent the button to wake the screen when the phone is locked?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] djkinetic:
did the command was able to remap, selected remap bixby only, but the bixby voice screen still pops up with google assistant. it works but my ocd i hate seeing that bixby screen lol.

Edit fixed it, disabled all bixby services except voice with PDP
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
I don't think there is a way to block that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pryxus:
Same here. I already had this effect with some other Bixby Button Removers. It's a well known issue (that made me uninstall all these apps :crying:)

Also I found out that Button Mapper refuses to work on my unrooted phone without com.samsung.android.bixby.agent.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
There is no scrolling lag with this app if you select the "Remap Bixby only" option

Yes, you need Bixby voice or the button presses are not detected. If Samsung voice continues to open, you'll need to reenable Bixby temporarily and sign out.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pryxus:
Thanks for this hint. With this option checked, scrolling works really well.

No, everything's fine: Samsung Voice did not open on my phone - I just mentioned to enable that service because I couldn't find any comment on this in this thread.

The only thing that I'd really love to see is a correct 'do not disturb' action. In this version of the app it's just lowering the volume to zero. The real 'do not disturb' shows the '-' in a circle on the lock screen and in the notifications.

But I see... First World Problems... ;).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aldo6:
There is a way! :D I had this same problem so I started testing. For starters, I'm using an S8+ with BatStock 1.20 and BatSock Kerknel 1.2.2

The trick was to format and reinstall, but this time, on the Aroma debloating options, I unticked Bixby voice. Right now, in Settings->Apps->Show System Apps, I only have Bixby Vision installed. No other Bixby stuff is shown there. Most likely, if you remove all Bixby related apps, the button will lose its ability to wake your device!

Now, no matter what I do, Bixby button won't wake the screen, and Button Mapper works great. Only having one issue: Bixby button customization disables on Button Mapper when I restart my device, meaning I have to reactive it after boot. I do have to say I had this same problem when I had Bixby Voice installed and Bixby button able to wake the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CrazyCypher:
I disabled all bixby related packages and services using BK Disabler and BK Plugin except Bixby Voice.. it still wakes the screen.. I found out that Bixby Voice has 19 services inside and only WinkService is needed for button to work, but if all other services are disabled except WinkService there is a problem because everytime an app is installed or updated from play store i get message bixby has stopped... So I had to enable all services in bixby voice... But screen still wakes when locked..
