[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gilg@mesh:
yes I know I used to do that with previous rooted S8 but thought of giving non root with my S9+ a chance and see how long I can take it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Scott:
This is the best re-mapper i have used. And trust me, I have tried them all.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] A question though.

I have the button re-mapped to Assistant and it works so much better than the other mappers I tried. No Bixby first then Google Assistant. Its very smooth. This has made me a user of the button again! Woot!

However, sometimes it can take up to 3 and maybe even 4 seconds for the Assistant to open up and make the chime. It doesn't take that long every time. I would say approximately 1/3 that time. Obviously not a huge deal but wanted to verify proper operation.

Has anyone else seen this? Normal operation? Typical Samsung constraints?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Virgo_Guy:
Agree with you that it's the best 1 so far.

Regarding launching the assistant, I tried several times & once in a "rare" while, it seems to delay a bit, say 1 second, in mine. Could be typical Samsung behaviour.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Scott:
Hmmmm. I wonder. As I test more it seems to be getting worse.

Im now hitting up to 5 second delays and its more often than now now :confused:

Im sure its just my set up if your not having the issues like I am. I guess when I get to work and i have time I will look at this in more depth.

Thanks for your info. It helped!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Scott:
Ok, I think I found the issue. I went into settings to poke around and turned off the 300ms delay / detection for the double tap.

After doing that its very quick.

This is what Samsung should have freakin included in the first place.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
Nice to see you around [MENTION=426561]Scott[/MENTION]

Will you be making CleanROM for this phone?

I still think there's something up with it, I'll see if I can speed it up.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Scott:
Hey man, long time no talk!

I would love to make a CleanROM but sadly I don't have an unlocked bootloader. I'm on a US Snapdragon. However, if we do get root and the ability to ROM I am going to be all over it! I love this phone and the potential is just crazy!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
I suffered with the Snapdragon S8 last year, it was a real hassle not being able to root. This year I ordered the S9 from the UK just so I could root it.

I think the problem you are facing with the delayed launch of the assistant is due to a security feature of Android. If you press the home button, there is a five second delay before an activity can be launched from a service. I'll see if there's a workaround.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Scott:
Even if not, this is still the best performing app of its type. I can say I am completely satisfied.

I as well had the Snapdragon S8+. Then I finally jumped to Pixel 2 XL and now I am here. I'm hoping for root so we can get the ROM'ing under way. This device has quite a bit of logging and checking, etc. I can only dream of creating a CleanROM for this thing! There is so much underlying "trash" in the file system that could be scrubbed. It pains me to think of it :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
The workaround for the delay after pressing home is to use PendingIntent.getActivity instead of startActivity when starting an activity from a service.

Still might be a few days before the next update, this version has a lot of changes.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Virgo_Guy:
Whatever, u r the 1 for some1 like me not to have sold the s9 plus after not finding a way to remap the super ugly Bixby, to my liking after trying out a few. It has very few glitches and kinda certain that you would try your best to fix.. A big "thanks" to you.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
I fixed this for the next update too
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Virgo_Guy:
Can't wait to try it out at the earliest. :good::good::good:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] mouhaboo:
This app is great but sometimes Bixby key becomes unresponsive, it does nothing when I press it. by the way I don't know if this will help fixing this issue but I have set 3 different actions: one time press, double tap and long press.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
There are a number of things that can stop the service. Make sure Button Mapper is exempt from battery optimization. Apps like Greenify, Titanium Backup, antivirus or service managers/task killers can stop the service.

I leave Button Mapper running all the time on my S8 and S9, it will run for weeks on end if nothing stops it.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bofahad:
AMAZING !!!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] pwnsicle:
Hey just posting this along because I have a similar problem. I can reproduce this lag with this app when I set any bixby actions to perform a screenshot (not rooted). A reboot fixes it until you try to do another screenshot via this app.

After reading through this thread, I think maybe the fact that I'm not rooted and performing a screenshot through this app causes the default Android API to start instead of Samsung's implementation. Some reason this causes the screen rotation lag.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zenroid:
Bought the app to support the developer great job :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] rjscott2005:
I'm able to toggle the flashlight on my unlocked phone bought directly from Samsung.. This is exactly what I needed this app for!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mibutastic:
How is this app compared to the bxactions app? I like the UI in this app more but I don't have a PC to test it out right now?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Virgo_Guy:
I tried all the apps [MENTION=906256]remap[/MENTION]ping bixby . Button mapper is the simplest , fastest and overall the best one.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Hybrid Soldier:
As the bxActions, when I take a screenshot the screen rotation starts a anoying lag...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] -Vulture-:
I saw in a screenshot that theres a screen off option...does it work without root?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
No. Bixby works with the screen off, but volume needs root to work with the screen off.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] -Vulture-:
Im sorry, im a bit confused by that answer. :confused: I want to use the bixby button to turn the screen off from homescreen and lockscreen. Is this possible without root?

I know from other apps that the volume buttons need root, but i dont want to use them.

Thanks flar2!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
Yes, you can do that without root
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] -Vulture-:
Just tried it, you even implemented a workaround for the fingerprint deactivation, very nice, im really impressed! :)

One thing i noticed: As i said, ive set up my bixby button to turn the screen off with the alternate locking method active.

It locks the device and a few seconds later i can successfully unlock it with my fingerprint. So far, so good.

Now when the device is locked and screen is off: If i press the bixby button now ONCE (short) nothing happens -> the device stays off as it should. However if i try to use my fingerprint now to unlock, Androids safety feature is triggered and i need to enter my PIN. Iris and fingerprint are not working in this special situation.

Seems like the short press triggers the safety feature somehow.

Thanks for the great app!:good::)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
You can try a workaround for the safety feature in "More options" called "Alternate lock method"
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] -Vulture-:
I already have this option enabled, thats why the fingerprint works. The problem is when I press the bixby button once shortly during screen off. Afterwards I have to enter my PIN. If I lock my device again with your app, unlocking with fingerprint works again, but only if I Do not press the bixby button.

1. Lock - use fingerprint - unlocked: OK

2. Lock - press bixby Button once - use fingerprint - error: have to enter PIN: not OK

Hope that clarifies the situation a bit. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
I will have look, but I don't think I'll be able to prevent that. If you root your device it's not an issue. The sort-of good news is Google is removing this "safety" feature in Android P.

Also, sorry for missing that youbwere already using the workaround. I answer so many questions about this app they all blur together.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] -Vulture-:
Your welcome, dont worry, I already thought so. Hard to keep track of every question. :)

Ill think about rooting, but on the other hand it's not a huge problem for me, just saw it by accident.

Maybe youll find something, thanks again for this great app!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] -Vulture-:
Something i have to report: The standby drain of my device has been impacted by Button Remapper quite a bit. I wondered yesterday why my S9+ was loosing so much juice over the day, i did not change anything else.

Uninstalled it yesterday and now everything is back to normal.

Anything more i could try? Maybe one of the options?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Virgo_Guy:
I never got anything unusual battery drain due to button mapper app. Since its functioning is totally triggered by Bixby it doesn't take anything additional from the battery than Bixby itself.( Am I right [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] ?).
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] -Vulture-:
Whats your setup? Do you use simple and long press functionality?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
Button Mapper doesn't cause any battery drain
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Virgo_Guy:
Yes, this:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] -Vulture-:
Yeah i would say so too, but i could definately see a drain which is now gone. I have to test this again, to see if im able to reproduce it.

Could you also show me your app settings? There are some "alternate method" switches in the settings. Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Virgo_Guy:
Bud, here you go:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
The alternate methods aren't needed on the S9/S9+. They are for the odd phones out there that handle buttons differently
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] -Vulture-:
Hm could it be something with the screen lock function? I have enabled the alternate locking method and used the bixby button to lock my device. Otherwise Virgo_Guy's seetings look identical to what i have set up on my device yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
There is a possibility of drain if the bixby service is shut down unexpectedly (ie killed) and it doesn't get shut down completely. Make sure you don't have anything killing the service.

I have bixby remapped on my S8 and S9 for months now and never had battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] -Vulture-:
Ok, i will check this step by step in the next days, ill give you feedback. :o
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] -Vulture-:
Ok, no drain detected today, using the app for flashlight and bluetooth toggle right now. Im off the charger now for 41h, still 51% battery left.

Ill try screen off functionality over the weekend.

Edit: Is this little delay between pressing the bixby button and the flashlight getting active normal? Its about half a second. Off is instant.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
Yes it's normal because I use the camera API and a service. I could make it quicker but it wouldn't be as bright and wouldn't work across all devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] -Vulture-:
Hm i experimented a bit with the settings over the weekend and i could not reproduce the battery drain i saw on this specific day. So nothing to worry about.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Scott:
EDIT: Now I realize that bug I detailed is actually just the bug noted in the OP. My bad! :silly:

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Scott:
EDIT: See above
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
The system settings are crashing. I've heard of this before.

Try installing Google Text to Speech and see if it works after that.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Scott:
Edit: See my prior two posts, it was basically the bug that was listed in the OP that I had forgot about.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Hybrid Soldier:
The delay after a screenshot with non-rooted devices is fixed?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
What delay?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Hybrid Soldier:
The screen rotation delay after taking a screenshot with the Bixby button configured for screenshot.

The rotation delay would get worse as I took more screenshots.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gregbmil1:
I have kind of a funny situation on my hands. A few days ago I adb'ed Bixby out of my phone, out of my life, and out of mind, lol. I was left with a button that does absolutely nothing except let's me boot into recovery and download mode when held in with the other two buttons. I love it since it gives me a button to randomly push when I'm bored, much more useful in my opinion :laugh:

No apps, including this remapper will recognize it though and I fear I may have to find Bixby online and put her back only to remap it, lol. Kinda Cruel really. Any suggestions besides putting Bixby back? Not sure how I can face her after the way I treated her:silly:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
You need Bixby installed in order to detect the button press. Not sure exactly which packages. If you just disabled the packages, you should be able to find then and reenable with one of the packages disabler apps on the store.

Not sure if you are familiar with Partcyborgs S8 root, but he did such a good job mapping the Bixby button to Gmail. Any idea how that is done? It feels as if it was put there natively at the factory by Samsung themselves

It's pretty simple to launch an app, You can launch Gmail or any other apps with Button Mapper.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Chilexican:
I chose not to ADB remove Bixby just disable and these are the packages I disabled. The one unchecked item is the one you need to have the button working
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gregbmil1:
Thank you, that worked. By the way, the Play Store is telling me there is an update for Package Disabler Pro (Samsung) . I'm scared though, lol. I'm afraid it may break it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gregbmil1:
OK guys, I got the hookup right here. If you are unrooted and desperate for anything like I am, try this. It makes the Bixby button remap act as if it was put there by Samsung themselves.

You need Package Disabler. Disable everything that has to do with Bibby EXCEPT for Bixby Voice and Bixby Home. After you only have those 2 enabled go to the Remap app and set it up as you please. Once that is done go back to Package Disabler and disable Bixby Home only. You need to leave Bixby Voice enabled.

Now the button should feel much more natural, meaning Bixby won't be trying to pop in when you push it. At least for the single press action. I didn't buy pro yet:silly:. So have not tried the double tap or hold yet. I imagine it works the same though
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
UPDATE!!

Version 0.74 has lots of new goodies. It's rolling out slowly on the Play Store, if you want it now you can download from XDA Labs:

https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/flar2.homebutton

-Menu action is now available without root

-Pause and resume remapping from notification, quick settings or public intents that can be used with Tasker or other automation apps

-If you use the notification, you can now change the priority

-Option to turn on screen with screen off actions, so if you launch an app with the screen off, the screen will automatically turn on (requires Pro version)

-Zello PTT toggle and hold actions (requires Pro version). This allows you to either set a button to toggle send, or hold the volume up or down button to talk

-Copy and paste actions

-Option to use VOICE_ASSIST for assistant

-Restore autobrightness when using brightness actions

-Fix shortcut bug

-Many other bugfixes and improvements

-Update translations

Here are the intents to pause and resume remapping. The first is a toggle, the other two explicitly pause or resume remapping. Use whichever best fit your needs.

flar2.homebutton.TOGGLE_REMAPPING

flar2.homebutton.PAUSE_REMAPPING

flar2.homebutton.RESUME_REMAPPING

Gr8 work [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]. Keep rocking.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Hybrid Soldier:
Do you fixed the screen rotation lag? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
I don't think that's fixable, the problem is Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sjant:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I got the update the other day but when i set the bixby button to 'menu' i get the errror message 'not available' when I press the bixby button.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
Try stopping and restarting the Button Mapper accessibility service
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sjant:
Just tried doing that and later reinstalling from scratch. Everything except menu seems to work perfectly fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
I don't know, I tried it on a bunch of phones and it works on all of them. Try it with a few different apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] BabeShaq:
sorry, wrong thread. Can't find delete button
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] cmcjacob:
I used this for some time, and it's way too buggy when used in conjunction with things like: custom launchers, custom gestures, etc. It froze my device on a regular basis, made screen rotation impossible, and overall unstable. I'd rather go without the benefits of mapping Bixby than suffer all of the negative results - I bought premium but I'm willfully backing out. Best of luck for future updates, or hopefully a rooted snapdragon so we can further isolate some of the device breaking bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] flar2:
I have this running 24/7 on my S9 and S8 and so do thousands of others. No problems at all.

Slow screen rotation is known bug and due to the screenshot action. Don't use that action. You can remap Bixby to many other things.

There is zero possibility that this app causes instability.

Really sounds like your phone had some other problems going on.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] kenkiller:
Hi, anyone managed to remap the GPU Turbo button on the newer Honor phones with this app? I have the pro version but no idea how to add any new buttons.

Edit : managed to get it to work on another app, it's key_702 which doesn't work in this app when I try to add a new button. [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] , can you add this button?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Virgo_Guy:
Hey [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] , are you working on this app for Note 9 as well? :)
