[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] andiling:
Hello,

I'm using since some time the Coffee version of bxActions and I'm very happy with it. (-: Thank you for your hard efforts.

However, I have one issue since some time (or forever) which starts to annoy me and I'm wondering if there's a solution to that.

If I take a screenshot using VolDown-Bixby-Power the action for the Bixby button defined in bxActions is triggered as well and I'm out of the screenshot taking screen.

With my S8+ it somehow only happened around every second time and I lived with it but with my S9+ it somehow happens always (maybe as it is faster?!).

Is there a way to avoid that?

I don't want to use the built-in screenshot function of bxActions as well as I don't want to root. I know there's a gesture for taking a screenshot but the three buttons are more convenient. (;

Thank you!

Cheers,

Andreas

Single or double press fires again?

First of all, it is a great app, thanks very much for it.

I have a problem which may be caused by bxactions since I upgraded my Galaxy Note 8 to Oreo: When I assign an app to the single or double press (tried it with bring, feedly and google app) the app comes up instantly as supposed to do. But after let's say halve a minute the app comes upp freshly again even when I'm already in another app. This doesn't happen when I use the long press for the named apps.

Has anyone the same problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tacchan23:
Idk on S8, but on S9 you take a screenshot with VolDown-Power buttons only. No need to press Bixby button too.

Hello! I have the s7 edge and tried to remap my volume buttons while my screen is locked. If I do it, i get a messsage that it would only work with an always on display. I was told before that I would find instructions for how to make it Work even without one using adb. But i cannot find those instructions anywhere. Any Tips?

Does this app work when the screen is off ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Nees3:
Wrong forum
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] a.fontenele:
It does. I have Bixby and volume buttons setup using Tasker for other actions and they work great.

The only thing I noticed yesterday is that you gotta have AOD enabled for the volume buttons to work too, otherwise only the Bixby button will work while on screen off.

Anyone else noticed this? Do volume button actions only work with screen off if you have AOD enabled?

[UPDATE] I've just found out the volume button remap doesn't work when the screen is off, unless you have AOD enabled... :crying:

BxActions uses proximity sensor even when pocket option is disabled.

Is there any solution?

It doesn't work for me when I tried to use the bixby button to turn on silent mode when the screen is off.

Hi OP

I have bought you coffee before!

Mind if you can hear my suggestion and maybe can consider to implement this?

A feature where:

Tap/long tap/double tap to switch between wifi on/off and then mobile on/off

Meaning to say if wifi is on. And i long press it, wifi will off and data will on

And if data is on, wifi will on and data will off

Assuming this case where both are not set to off (but if it is maybe prioritizes to switch wifi on first?)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] a.fontenele:
You can do this using Tasker. You just have to create an action with the toggles you mentioned. This and a plethora of other things can be achieved through Tasker, that's why the OP included an option in the bxActions saying:

Launch tasker task

Unlimited possibilities with Tasker

:D

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PlutoDelic:
Setting Immersive Mode on messaging apps seems to hide the text input just under the keyboard slightly. This is most probably nothing app related but any workaround that may help me?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] leongzxc:
really?

thats great!

so i can do 1 single task via long press but it interchanges?

no need to create 1 for long press, another for double tap and so on?

so 1 profile

2 tasks:

- if detected data on = switch off data, switch on wifi

- if detected wifi on = switch off wifi, switch on data
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] a.fontenele:
Exactly! For example I have many Tasker profiles setup so that I don't need to "manually push buttons". Like turning WiFi automatically on when I get home and turn it off as I leave. Automatically set my device to silent mode when I get to work or at a specific time. This way I can use bxActions for other precious shortcuts which are better off not being automated.

Basically, I don't like this "need" for interaction of pressing buttons when I have the option to make my device do it automatically by itself.

I don't know how acquainted you are with Tasker, but take a look here so that you'll have some idea of what you can accomplish with it. Maybe you will find a better solution, as I did... :D

Is this still working for everyone on Oreo? Since update...the Bixby button mapping will not work...It won't stay enabled in the settings. The volume buttons are working, but not Bixby.

BxActions is working for me with Oreo on 1. April patch version but I have Package Disabler set to disable Bixby functions/apps.

Anyway, I have noticed since the April first update on my Note the Fullscreen immersive mode will get disabled and status bar reappears after some time. Is there a way to stop this behavior? Before Fullscreen mode would be enabled until I disabled it myself and not somehow magically.

Option to make the Navigation bar appear on press would be nice.

Running in immerse mode, and swiping up is a pain in the ass when browsing the web.

Hi OP!

Love the app and switched to the coffee version within 5 minutes, Is there a way you could may be add a mute / Toggle microphone feature?

for example when I'm on a conference call and need to call out to a colleague or have a sip of coffee I can just press the button without moving the phone off my ear :)

Google Assistant Doesn't Work in Lock Screen

Hi,

I just purchased the Pro version to be able to launch Google Assistant while on the lock screen also. I've tried doing that but it doesn't start to listen to be able to unlock my screen with Trusted Voice (as it would if I just say "OK Google"). The phone (Note 8) is in the Samsung LED Flip Cover Case, so the screen is off because of the proximity sensor and it's waiting me for me to open it to unlock via the Iris scanner. I've even trying unlocking with the fingerprint sensor while the case is closed, but it doesn't work, as the phone doesn't read the fingerprint scanner in that state (probably because it would be like being in a pocket or to avoid accidental unlocks).

I've tried searching all over Google, Reddit and the official G+ thread without any comments regarding this issue, which seems quite strange, as I assumed that using remapping to Google Assistant instead of Bixby Voice, would be a common use case. All the information that I have found is this guy, from six months ago, in Reddit saying the same thing but without any replies:

Google Assistant Doesn't Work on Lockscreen

Any help of information on how are you using this?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] EMJI79:
Just for your last question about making "OK Google" work when screen is off, it has nothing to do with Bixby, just change settings inside Google app to listen when screen is off or the phone is locked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dan_Aykroyd:
Thanks. Saying "OK Google" already works perfectly on my device; the issue is that I described above only happens with the action in bxActions that calls the "Google Assistant" or "Google Assistant Extra" and gets the phone prompting for unlocking first instead of using trusted voice to unlock automatically while on the lock screen and then execute the voice command
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] TT_Vert:
I think some update happened recently which broke this. It worked fine for me then it stopped. It will hear it and beep but it won't actually unlock the phone or perform the action. S8+ here on pro.

Dave.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dan_Aykroyd:
Thanks for your confirmation Dave that it's not working for you neither. Perhaps [MENTION=5759008]Jawomo[/MENTION] can chime in on this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Erikkusaki:
Guys how come i tried the latest version of bxActions on my note 8 and it doesn't work even after follow as per instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] EMJI79:
OK, sorry, my bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dan_Aykroyd:
[MENTION=5759008]Jawomo[/MENTION], any updates on this issue? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
I'm assuming if I back up the APK in its current version then install it on my Note 9 then all the features should work as normal like on my Note 8? [MENTION=5759008]Jawomo[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] swagglepuff:
I downloaded this on my note 9 and it disables my secure start. I can recreate this every time. I have secure start enabled, I downloaded the app, I set the app up and grant required permissions. I restart the phone and it boots up like normal with our requiring the pin. After I delete the app set up secure start again. After reset everything works as it should. Only when I install this app and set it up does my secure start become disabled. No other app has caused this issue after installing.

Are there any known apps this app does not play well with in conjunction. The only app I have the requires similar permissions is Tasker I don't have any task set up at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Max_Terrible:
What do you mean secure start? What you explained sounds like everything is working the way it should.

---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

The problem isn't with this app, it's with Bixby 2.0. Backing up the current or an older version and using that on the Note 9 won't make it work properly. It's Bixby 2.0 that screws around with things.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Max_Terrible:
I see now why I didn't understand what you were talking about; I don't have the Secure Start feature on my Galaxy Note 8 device. So, unfortunately I can't provide further assistance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] a.fontenele:
Really odd issue you're facing...

I'm using Secure Start and bxActions with no issues...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] swagglepuff:
I was able to figure out the issue. If secure startup is enabled and an app request accessibility permission. For what ever reason secure start will be disabled if you press ok. The part that caught me off guard was that you are not taken to the secure start settings page. It is a separate page that allows you to disable this setting using biometrics. No where on that page does it say that you are turning off secure start. I'm pretty sure you are also not suppose to be able to alter and encryption setting with biometrics. That definitely needs to be addressed seeing as how it's a way around needing the actual pincode to adjust security settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] p10nker53:
Long press doesn't work unless I have data connection (Note 9). Is this normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] playahate:
Is it working now on Note9?

It was working with Note8 a week ago, or so. But on the new Note9 not working. Permissions granted, but no response on pushing buttons.

UPD: found another thread, waiting for beta.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] iceepyon:
Samsung probably patch this work around as they don't want Note owners remapping the Bixby button anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
Thanks for all the beta testing of bxActions 5.10 and the new remapping modes!

The public release is online now!

Merry Christmas to all! Enjoy!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sudermatt:
Just for giggles i tried it again and it worked.

One question....can we still use Bixby with the app?

I'd like to keep the press and hold for Bixby but use Google assistant for double tap.

Possible?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
If you activate control mode but dont disable bixby it could work. Just give it a try, cant test it atm.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gareee:
How do you program the buttons for what you want with this? I have the permissions, but bixby home isn't disabled, and I don;t see any options for choosing button actions.

I'd like: single press for screenshot

double press for facebook

long press for bixby

This sound doable?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sudermatt:
I was able to keep the long press for Bixby and single press for Google.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sebastan:
1. I have control mode (pro). short press - home, double - taskmanager. Everything works, but in each use is an bixby icon for a moment. Is it normal?

2. Can you add show/hide navigation panel?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
Its in bxActions, remap button
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
Please see bxActions, help on how to fix this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gareee:
I see nothing past the control mode/blocking mode screen.... but then I also can't disable bixby for control mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
Please go to bxActions main screen
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bugzy113:
Would it be possible to get this to work with Zello, the walkie talkie app? For instance, instead of having to press the on screen button to talk, you can remap the bixie button for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gareee:
Only see two bx actions screens.... The splash page with the continue button, and the page with the selections between both modes.

I used the pc to unlock it, but couldn't disable Bixby, and see no other options or drop downs anywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] black96ss:
for some reason now everything is working lol. I don't know why it gave me issues before.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gareee:
Did you disable bixby?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] black96ss:
I did originally but enabled it before I installed this app. that crossed my mind again when it was working that maybe when I restarted my phone it allowed it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gareee:
I'll try disabling bixby in settings and rebooting. Its odd I can;t get any of the button press options to show up, and I'm not buying another app just to try this out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gareee:
Ok, I got it to work.... I had to reboot, and then manually turn this on in accessibility.

How do you get the remaping button to work while on the lock screen
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PhilPan:
Is the screen supposed to come on when using this on the lock screen?

Also it doesn't seem to be firing when I click it on AOD or lock screen...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Max_Terrible:
The AOD isn't the same as the lockscreen. The AOD means the device is effectively off (not shut down). It won't work when the device is off, only when it's turned on.

To have it working on the lockscreen, you have to set an action for the lockscreen section. If none of those are set, then it also won't work on the lockscreen (which, again, is different from the AOD, which means the device is off). Just setting actions for the general button presses doesn't affect the lockscreen part. They're different parts and need to be set differently.

In case it wasn't clear before, I just want to iterate again; the AOD is not the lockscreen. The AOD means the screen is off. When you press the power button and it asks you for a pin or to swipe or a pattern, that is the lockscreen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PhilPan:
Yes, however, I never had an issue without pie on my note 8 or 9 with the screen coming on, even on AOD. It worked fine on AOD, without waking screen
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pcriz:
I set mine to go into DND from the 'lockscreen', the device doesn't turn on. It simply vibrates and the mode enables and disables as it should
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PhilPan:
Yes, this is how it use to be... Can you explain further how you did this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pcriz:
I didn't do anything special. I have full mapping enabled. Just sat DND to double press and flashlight to double long press and it does both without the screen coming on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PhilPan:
So I'm wondering if certain things wake the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pcriz:
What is the action you are trying to perform
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Max_Terrible:
Unrelated to everyone else's problems, but it seems newer versions of Bixby also killed long-press functionality. No matter what action I set for the long-press, it just brings up the Bixby logo and then does nothing. This is for the standard actions, not on the lockscreen. I don't use lockscreen actions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pcriz:
Mine works fine on pie. I use long press for DND and immersive mode. Both work fine.

Never mind, please disregard this post. There was a popup security message on the phone, which I was not seeing, so the PC setup wasn't finishing.

Where did double press go? Before, I had double-press set to launch a certain app, and it worked perfectly. I had to factory reset my phone last week, to have a repair done, and after, when I reinstalled this app (pro version), and did the PC setup as well for "full" functionality, I no longer have any "double press" under Standard action. I would really like this back. If anybody has seen this or can think of something I might have miss, I'd appreciate the help.

Hello...I've set this up already (not pro yet, but likely soon will be!) I just noticed that when the phone is locked and screen = off, pressing the bixby button wakes the phone up???? Is this intended behavior? One of the things I hated about the stock button was that it woke up the screen and was another source of accidental wake-up. Any way around this? If not, is there a plan to add this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] chrisknife:
will the settings be saved even if i uninstall the app? don't want apps permantly installed which i don't really need/want.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ttzap:
You should specify in your post that in order to unlock the double and long press of the Bixby button, the PRO version must be purchased for $2.

I am willing to pay for good work but tell me up front. Don't give me the illusion that I can do these things but only half way through the process discover I need to pay.

Edit:

Bought it, but am noticing that when I long press, I get a bixby popup stating "You're in native context. To switch contexts say Open" Any way to disable this?

Edit edit:

Found the setting under bixby voice
