With the new bixby update, is there any way to have Bixby home open while bxactions is activated? As of now, whenever I try to open Bixby home, it refuses to open and instead redirects me to Google Assistant.

As for the updated settings, I've changed the bixby settings so that Bixby voice only opens on long press.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ttzap:
I had to disable bxactions from within the app and then re-enable Bixby home. Then I was able to open Bixby without Google intercepting.

I uninstalled the app by accident and now I can't get it working again -_-

I get stuck on the "now enjoy" splash screen. It then asks me to pick a mode. I have control mode selected and both criteria met. However I can't get back to the main menu. Help?

Edit:

I had to enable usage tracking. I could not get the popup to come up the second time around installing the app. I had to setup blocking mode to trigger the popup. Now it's working.

Is it working even when bixby is disabled with package disabler or which package should i leave active?

Great application! Thanks, coffee is on the way... Please one questions - could you advise me how deactivate the button on the lock screen ? The pressing activate screen :(

What if you disable it form bixby home? Will it still work?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sudermatt:
Latest update removed the ability to use Bixby on long press. Not good. You need to include Bixby as on of you app choices or go back to the way it was before.

I do not like the latest update at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] NickSaul:
Just got it all working, thank! Looks like BK Package Disabler is the only app that's currently able to disable Bixby Home.

If you use "Action on lockscreen" do you have to unlock with pin first before the app actually starts?

Trying to get shazam started when phone is locked just by clicking on Bixby Button
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] oneandroidnut:
no root required???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _MetalHead_:
Nope. Works great. I use my flashlight regularly so I mapped it to the button and now I can turn it on and off with ease. It's bloody brilliant.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gareee:
That's sort of what I wanted to do, but now that I know Bixby will turn it on or off on command, I'm just using that. (I tried the gesture fingerprint sensor as well, but that too hard to get at since there isn't a defined touch bump to help you position your finger right.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _MetalHead_:
I just have never gotten used to using my voice for anything other than setting reminders. Feels so awkward to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] skraam:
How do you disableBixby compketely and remap the button? I could only remap it but Bixby still laynched togethet with flashlight. If i disabled bixby in bx disabler then flashlight didn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
Only disable "Bixby home" app and keep the rest active. then ist will work fine.

Best feature ever! All kidding aside, AWESOME! Trying this out now. Many thanks! Though seriously, I have an absolute hatred toward advertisements of any kind (it's the single most important reason I root my phones). Bixby is really annoying and from my brief usage of it in testing things, it likes to add the letter 'i' to the end of my favorite word in 'f*** you, Bixby'

thanks a lot. The only problem i have now is that I uninstalled bixby voice in my ROM.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] fenchai:
Latest update forces long press for bixby?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] lmaoboi:
Hey, I just tested it with shazam. I am using the pro version on control mode. I can't find hybrid mode on bxActions.

It works but you will need to unlock your phone if there is a lock. Otherwise you won't be able to use Shazam with a click when the phone's screen is off.

I hope that helps
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tigher:
This is what I want to do also, press & hold for bixby but have google assistant available (double tap or single press sounds good). Please post if an update gets it working again. Have not purchased yet, but if it has this ability I will definitely purchase! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sudermatt:
Yeah....it's lost a lot of value for me.

I would ask for a refund if I could.

Everybody should beware with this app. I tried to get Bixby long press to work with the app. It worked at first but the latest update stop that from working. I have since uninstall the application, re-enable Bixby home using package enabler. Restarted my phone. I cannot get the press and hold functionality back on my Bixby home button. This app basically breaks that for good. I am going to be contacting the developer. I will let you know how it goes
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:

Latest version is epic. Finally you can use this button when phone is locked ?

BTW should I remove this app from android battery optimization list too?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] liquidguru:
Gave in after realising I wasn't using bixby at all and wanted to use the button for something else.

I'm also giving the Sammy launcher a go, after years of using Nova, as you can now finally swipe down for notifications. I missed being able to swipe up with Nova for Google search.

The app is great.

Quick press opens Google search, ready for keyboard input

Double press opens WhatsApp

Long press flashlight!

Amazing. No slow down noticed at all anywhere.

Thank you

If you disabled Bixby voice, just activate it again in the Bixby settings.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ImSoHungry:
App is only working for me if i dont disable bixby home. It does the action but still brings up bixby home. I am using the control method and followed the direcetions and adb commands. if bixby home is disabled as it should, bxactions isn't doing anything for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] liquidguru:
Have you disabled Bixby voice from within the Bixby app settings? To disable it you first have to Stop the App from within BxActions app, then you can go into Bixby settings and disable voice.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ImSoHungry:
Yes I have, so it does nothing on the long press but it still doesn't do anything unless Bixby Home is enabled. I just paid for the pro version this morning too when I installed it so I would really like to get it working.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] liquidguru:
I would probably start again. Uninstall bxActions, re-enable bixby home with your package disabler, go into bixby, deactivate voice control, then reinstall bxActions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
If you entered the adb commands manually you have to restart your phone once. Will work fine then.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ImSoHungry:

Kinda yes, you need app that can disable Bixby home I use Adhell 2 it's free but support is suspended for some time and you will need to generate your own Samsung dev key. BK disabler is easyer but paid.

I'm suffering a glitch.

I successfully setup Control Mode. I set Single Press to launch Shortcut. The Shortcut is for a specific notebook in Lecture Notes. However, unless Lecture Notes is closed, bxActions just opens Lecture Notes. Same Shortcut from desktop works flawlessly no matter what Lecture Notes is open to, it goes to the correct notebook.

Help?

I ended up resetting my device to get Bixby voice back.

Not too happy....

Sorry for that. bxActions does not disable bixby voice, so i dont know where the problem is related to. Glad you got ut working again.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] skycamefalling:
When using the Bixby-button to switch between the sound modes (sound, vibrate) then the individual volumes for notifications, system and ringtone get messed up.

I noticed after I was wondering why I can't hear a sound when new messages arrive even though the phone was set to sound.

Anyone notice the same?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
No problems here on s8 so far. Values are same as before.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] liquidguru:
FYI: After the last update bxActions did not work. I stopped then started the app, then everything working correctly again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pieces of cake:
Latest update appears to be buggy, even after restarting the service. Substantial amount of lag between key presses and action.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] skycamefalling:
I've tried again after wiping the cache and installing bxActions again. The problem persists and this is how it goes:

The Bixby-Button has been set to switch iOS sound toggle (sound - vibrate). The 3 attached screenshots show the behavior:

1. Before pressing the button: Sound is normal

2. After first button press: Sound is mute, vibration is active (OKAY)

3. After second button press: Sound should be back on but volume is at 0% and system is muted

After several cycles this behavior changes, sometimes the notification sounds are silent.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] co.ag.2005:
Thanks. I've been seeing the same thing, on all the latest versions, so it's not just the new version. Here's the email I sent to the dev. Hope he gets it working, because I love having the sound mode get toggled with the Bixby button:

"First of all, I want to say that I absolutely love your app! It works so great on my S8 and now Note 8. It's so quick and I can't even tell that Samsung doesn't allow remapping of the Bixby button natively.

I have been running into an issue for some time now and it is related to the "sound mode" and "iOS Sound Mode" action for the bixby button. I'm running control mode on the app and when I choose to toggle "sound mode" (or "iOS sound mode") with a single press of the bixby button, it goes into vibrate and silent mode just fine, but when I come out of silent mode and into normal mode, it doesn't retain the previous known volumes of notification or system and sometimes even ringer volume stays all the way down. Are you aware of this or know of a work around?

see this imgur album. Image 3 shows the volume settings prior to pressing the bixby button once (sound mode). Image 4 shows what it looks like when in vibrate mode after pressing the bixby button once (behavior is as it should be). So if I hit bixby button one more time, it goes to silent and that behavior is as expected. But, when I hit it again to get back to normal mode, the notification and system volumes are still muted. In this case, the ringtone volume went back up but sometimes it doesn't.

the same thing happens in the new iOS sound mode too.

any insight into fixing this or a work around would be great. I've found myself just needing to toggle sound mode in the notification tray of my Note 8 as that always works as it should."

Just tested on my S8 again and all is working fine.

I open the volume panel and then toggle vibrate sound mode several times. All perfect here.

bxActions just sets the soundmode from vibrate to sound. The volume is not touched.

Maybe its a bug in note 8 firmware? Cant do anything about it currently. Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] skycamefalling:
Thank you for your answer. When I toggle the sound modes from the status bar all the volumes stay as they should.

Only when I'm using bxactions with the bixby-button they get scrambled.

I have no idea how this can happen when bxactions only toggles the sound mode.

Well, I just don't use the bixby-button for toggling the sound mode for the time being...hope this problem gets sorted out somehow in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mankvl:
Try a work around with Tasker, I beleve it would be an easy script if volume silent/vibrate set volume to max if volume > 1 set volume to silent/vibrate. I love that bxActions have compatibility with Tasker.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
Nice idea. Maybe its working with Tasker...

might be. come to think of it, I think it worked properly on my S8 but definitely doesn't on the Note 8. Thanks for the awesome app, though. Hopefully this gets ironed out eventually.

yeah, same here. works fine in notification tray but not with bixby button. I may have to try the tasker work around
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrsamtee:
Here's the tasker task for toggling ringtone, media, notication, and system volume from vibrate to a predefined number and back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] LionheartSilver:
Coffee for you btw. Nice work.

Tried Tasker and same thing is happening: after you trigger "vibrate" mode, and deactivate it, notifications and system won't return to normal state. So... it's not your fault, more like Note 8 firmware I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] marvinzon:
Does this feature still work for you with the latest bxactions update? Interested in having the same set up
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrsamtee:
Use my tasker profile above. Will solve your problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] LionheartSilver:
Try this profile I made. With this you will enable vibrate mode and disable it. don't need to be specific about what lvl of volume you want in tasker after disabling vibrate mode. You will return to whatever lvl you had before enabling it.

I have a samsung s8 and I flashed Renovate Ice with the firmware of the Note8. The ROM is compatible with [SM-G95XF/FD/N] & [SM-N950F] Does this app work? I've downloaded it and granted the permissions via adb but the app itself does nothing, I can't choose the actions. I'm pretty sure it's because of the ROM
