is it possible to include the correct working back button in the "easy" settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Dude, I'm happy there's beta testers willing to try this but I'm worried about messing with my settings because what I have now is working so well (I never see Bixby flashing on my screen) so I'll wait patiently to see what comes out of beta. Thanks for the continued hard work on this app!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
Not too many new features this time, just some improvements for note 9
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rhadoo_ds:
With all due respects ... my BitDefender says that bxactions.exe has Trojan.GenericKD.40600264 :| ... i have just updated from PlayStore.

Should i do it otherwise?

Thanks!

AV got it wrong
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] chavist:
You can activate permanently but using adb
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PsiPhiDan:
I've been hesitant about this due to the non-permanent nature of this. Is this a real option you're sure of? Some adb commands and then it can survive a reboot? If so, that's easy and I'm in!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nitin_ko:
any chance to free promo codes this festive season

regards from a new note 9 buyer
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
There are no promo codes currently.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nitin_ko:
:(

anyways thanks for the prompt reply
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
Sure, you can use "Easy remapping" for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PsiPhiDan:
Is that a feature of this app or something else entirely?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] chavist:
Interested to know what everyone is mapping their button to. For me Bixby button has been remapped to: single click(Google Now) Long Press (launch greyscale)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] torresfelipe:
Single click: Google Assistant

Double click: GCam

Long press: Flashlight
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] andronikal659:
I tried long press for Bixby vision and it launch WhatsApp instead. Any fix for launching app on lockscreen or while screen off?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] o0boiboi0o:
Single click : Flashlight

Long click : Screenshot using app (not root mode)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
Flashlight seems to be most favorite :)

I also use it on doubletap
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sherpa25:
Can you describe how to do this, pls?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] chavist:
Yes I'm sure it's a real option it is actually what u did. Take the adb commands that are for linux and use that. It will give app permissions and you will get all the wonderful benefits without worrying about reboot

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] brockyneo:
Hi guys has anyone been able to get immersive mode working yet I'd is it still work in progress

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] torresfelipe:
For you guys asking how to enable easy or full remapping, here's some screenshots:

Connect your phone to your PC, open File Explorer and go to \Galaxy Note 9\Phone\bxActions folder.

Execute de file inside and choose the remapping of your liking.

Hey [MENTION=5759008]Jawomo[/MENTION], I think it would be interesting to add screenshots of the new activation method in the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sherpa25:
Thanks for the info. However, I only have Activate Control Mode.exe inside the bxActions folder.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] torresfelipe:
I assume you are using the latest stable version, right? The Activate Control Mode is (Jawomo can correct me if I'm wrong) equivalent to the easy remapping on the latest beta version of the app. Since there's just one option available, there's no need for a UI to deal with. You run the Activate Control Mode and you're good to go. However I strongly recommend you to join the beta program (through the Play Store) to get the full remapping option.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sherpa25:
I see, thanks. Yes, I'm using the stable version, per OP. So this activates it automatically even after reboot, or do I still have to keep running 'Activate Control' after every reboot? That's all I need so far, since I only use it for one-click access to flashlight.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] torresfelipe:
No need to run the .exe again. The beta version tries to get around Bixby 2.0 showing up briefly (sometimes it's so quick you can't even see it) when you press the button and introduces a "peek" mode. Anyway, if you are good with it, stick to the OP version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JohnKilicK:
Is there any way to disable Bixby Voice Notifications with ADB? It seems impossible to do it through your phone as they're greyed out (see screenshots below). I've been happy with the older version of Bixby voice. It works really well with bxActions and the way I have it set up.

My only gripe is that the update notification pops up constantly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nitin_ko:
which app u use for screenshot?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] NotATreoFan:
I had this issue as well, on the newest beta. I had to open bxActions, and then the newer bxActions.exe was created on my device. Didn't change anything, but it seems that opening it once after update is required.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] radi0chik:
Is it possible to map a PTT option to the button for either toggle on/off, or press for the duration of the conversation? Something like that for Zello would come in very handy methinks. I'd pay dearly for it too :)

Hello, is it possible to disable vibration feedback when an action is performed? Thx
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] o0boiboi0o:
the default screenshot function inside the phone?

---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 AM ----------

weird. when i tried the easy mapping, an error has occured. pls check your configuration it said.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nitin_ko:
Oh, that's a root function
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] o0boiboi0o:
nope. there are two types of screenshots. one is required root. one is not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] NotATreoFan:
Heads up to [MENTION=5759008]Jawomo[/MENTION]

New update for Bixby today does not break bxActions, but I did need to run though the setup for Bixby again, as well as clear data on your app. The Windows app displays an error when selecting either option, but they do all still work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pizza_pablo:
Is the pro version required, in order to see the beta user offer?

I've looked at both versions of the app in the Play Store and on the Google + page, which I joined.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] madafakakopele:
Maan this app is amazing i found it today and it made my day. In other words 1/4 of the buttons was unusable and this made it possible to squeeze the max of this phone. I mean this was the thing i hate and now i have bonus button for whatever i like. Im not so sure about the battery consumption but i will test it. Thanks for this amazing thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
No pro is needed to try betas.

Thanks for the positive words :)

Enjoy!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pizza_pablo:
I went back to the OP, on the phone using the xda app and found the beta link easily this time.

I had been trying to find it on a computer and browser with no joy. Maybe I was just being thick.

I've joined the Google+ page and the beta tests page.

Thanks!

Hi, i got the Bx Action Pro, i set up the one tap to open BixBy, and two taps to take a screenshot, everything works fine but when i say " hi BixBy" the phone keeps taking screenshots, but when i disable the two taps option in settings, the voice command works fine.

Any ideas how to solve that, so when i use the voice command the phone will open BixBy and not to take screenshoots?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gamekill:
It worked for a while, and I don't know why, stopped working.

I tried Force Stopping it, and setting it up again, still no luck.

I just need simple functionality: bixby button one press -> open camera.

My phone won't allow me to go through Bixby Setup by the way, says "not supported in your country". Does this have anything to do with it not working? I mean, it worked before, for a day or so..

I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] madafakakopele:
If you use the adb variant like me, bixby is completely off and it doesnt open bixby at all, its really fast, but idk for the other variant that needs bixby set up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gamekill:
Was not aware of that. Will try it. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _theluk_:
Got a new German Note 9 with recent software update (security patch 01. October 2018). I downloaded bxActions from the Playstore but iwhen I try to grant permissions to use the Bixby Button, it shows an additional piece of information which I haven't seen mentioned anywhere and I am unsure about its effect. Please see the screenshot here. Sorry for it being in German, but it essentially says

That essentially means I cannot encrypt my device while using this app? Must be due to the new software - I am sure someone else would've mentioned this otherwise already?

Two potential other questions regarding the app which might "solve" the issue:

1) Is this potentially resolved in the beta version?

2) I notice people here are often talking about an "adb version" and granting permissions using adb. However, I don't see any info on that in the OP. Am I blind?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] madafakakopele:
Idk if this is what u are looking for but everything is described in the app description on play store.

Edit. Sorry my bad its not there but there are some tutorials i think.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Been away for a while. Anything out of Beta yet? I like my current state but I'm hoping functions could work without having AOD on. Mainly, I'm wishing I could play/pause/skip music while my phone is in my pocket. Double press functions for the Bixby buttons. That's it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] TankedThomas:
I assume this is the place to ask: I was wondering if I could make a feature request.

Specifically, I'd like a mode to toggle between silent and sound. Currently, the only two options are sound and vibration, or the "iOS-like" sound-vibration-silence toggle. But on iOS, I always disabled vibration so that when I flipped the mute switch, everything went quiet instead of vibrating. I personally have no use for vibration mode, so if it's possible to please add this option in, that'd be absolutely perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _theluk_:
Thx, I found it. Still puzzled because of the 'secure start issue'... Noone here using (or at least trying to) both?

note 9 lockscreen single press launch camera not working

Hi developer

I have bought the pro version of this app

all button working so far, thanks for that

however I wanted to launch camera on lockscreen by assigning "launch camera" on single press

but it doesn't work

instead it shows one green circle on top of screen with one smaller white circle inside the green circle

can help?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Not sure what happened but my option for single press of the Bixby button to play/pause media suddenly stopped working. I've restarted the phone a few times, chose different options for single press Bixby but it's not working anymore. AOD is still on, of course. I can still use my other options I've got set for the volume and Bixby buttons. Long press Bixby to turn on/off my flashlight still works. Long press volume buttons for skip/previous track still works.

Any ideas?

ETA: It still works when the display is on. It's not working when it's off (with AOD on).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cydutz:
single press flash light on lock screen work

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _theluk_:
Thanks to help on a German forum, I have a fully working bxActions together with secure start. The trick is:

Disable 'secure start'

reboot

install bxActions, optionally grant adb permissions, test it works

enable 'secure start'

reboot (PIN required due to secure start)

enjoy bxActions and secure start in parallel

Hope this is of use for others as well, since I really love the secure start feature:good:

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

I am obviously not the developer, but well... Have you completely finished the initial Bixby setup? I read several posts by people who essentially also had the issue that bxActions was not (or incorrectly) working from the lockscreen if they didn't finish the full Bixby initialization.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Are you talking about the beta version?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cydutz:
I have finished installing bixby setup

I was able to trigger other function on lockscreen single press like flashlight or media play. but I am not able to trigger the camera
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _theluk_:
Nope, for me the steps I mentioned worked with the regular version you get from the PlayStore without signing for the beta program

Ok, I am sorry but then I can't help. I can confirm, though, that I can successfully start camera from lockscreen with douple tap.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] elmor0:
Seems to be a lot of permissions/ privileges requested when trying to install this App - Are they all required, or can I opt out of them unless absolutely necessary?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
I don't understand. There's an issue with secure start? I'm using the regular pro version of bxActions and I'm using my secure start settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
What am I missing here? Besides that issue I was having with play/pause with a single press of the Bixby button, everything has been working fine with my secure start setting turned on. Is this an Exynos issue, or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _theluk_:
It depends on the order in which you set things up. In my case, i had secure start enabled and then installed bxActions. When granting permissions android will complain because it does not allow to use "accessibility tools" (sorry if this is not the correct term, using different language on my phone) together with secure start. So if you setup bixby before enabling secure start you're good - don't think about it if you haven't seen a message. Maybe it is even depending on the CPU version, i dunno. But again, if nothing complains: ignore my post
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Ah, I see. I never thought about that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jpas1:
Maybe I'm missing it, but is there any way to make Google Assistant work from the lock screen without having to unlock/use biometrics first? This would be extremely helpful for when I'm driving!

FYI, I have enabled all permissions and purchased pro.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] willcor:
Google Assistant , launches/works perfectly from

lockscreen (for me, about 99 % of time)

I don't need to use bxActions app or for it, to be configured, for Google Assistant to launch from sleep /lockscreen.

Yes, I do use bxActions for other functions/tasks on my device.

That said, i do have Ok Google enabled in

Device /Settings /Lockscreen /Smart Lock /voice

Further,

I also have my car radio configured in Smart lock.

So even whilst driving and i long press car radio, phone button it launches Google Assistant.

See screenshots
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jpas1:
That's a good call. Didn't even think of using the voice activation instead and freeing up the button for other functions. Appreciate it!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JHimmelbauer:
If I connect my Note 9 to the USB port in my car (BMW 5), the ADB settings of bxActions will be dissable and I need my Notebook to enable the settings again...

any idea how can I fix this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] featureza8336:
What connection type are you using on your phone? MTP, charging only, etc

Make sure that you never authorized USB Debugging for your car. You can revoke all authorizations in Developer Settings
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JHimmelbauer:
oh, thank you for the hint!

The galaxy apps app has been bugging me about a Bixby and Bixby wake updates. Is it safe to update? Or will it mess bxAction for me?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bartjeh1991:
You can disable all bixby stuff you only need to have bixby home.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pizza_pablo:
Using on Note 9.

Double tap = Bixby, tho I haven't found a use for her.

Long press (lockscreen or not) = flashlight.

BRILLIANT! THANK YOU!

Which remapping option should we use in the desktop exe? 'Easy remapping' or 'Full remapping' ?

Thanks for the frequent updates and new features!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
Just use the one which works bets for you. Btw, you have an old version of the exe
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] NotATreoFan:
I've taken all Bixby updates, and bxActions continued to work each time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] featureza8336:
Thanks for the tip. I ended up uninstalling the app, deleting the exe and folder, before reinstalling the app to force creation of the new Windows exe program. Is there another way to make sure the exe is up to date?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] K-alz:
And that just ruined the app for me. Now it's not working. [emoji23]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] NotATreoFan:
If you never updated Bixby at all, then it will need to be setup again. Go back to the Samsung launcher, swipe over for Bixby, and set it up again. Once you do that, the app will work again.

I posted about this here a few weeks ago, and it took less than 5 minutes to get it working again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
is it possible to remap the bixby button to the stock flashlight?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] featureza8336:
Yes, there's two options. Either stock flashlight or flashlight with brightness turned up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Indurus:
Volume-Key mapping stops working every few hours while bixby-Button works fine constantly. Anyone else suffering from this Problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Compusmurf:
So far, this part has worked perfectly after reboots.

With this, which parts of Bixby can we disable completely? Or, better still, what piece of Bixby can't be disabled? (Whichever is easier)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] featureza8336:
These are the packages I have disabled. If I mess with those two things stop working properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Compusmurf:
Perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Imprezzion:
Yes I did have this issue as well but in my case it turned out to be the fact that gravitybox button remapping was messing with volume keys as well.

I turned volume off in bxActions and I'm only using bixbi remapped to hardware camera button on short press which is incredible to have a hardware camera button.

I didn't disable any bixby functions either as I still use the voice control "hi bixby" command a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] stoyandim:
After updating with the latest beta from today, the full remapping is not working. only the easy remapping is fine now :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JHimmelbauer:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] stoyandim:
I think that it is fixed now, there was a quick new update :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JHimmelbauer:
yes, works again!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
Hi, I paid for the app, and just have a question..

Is Camera not supposed to launch if AOD is on?

The camera will launch on single press on the lockscreen, but not from the AOD clock screen..

Just to add.. double tap to launch flashlight works fine from AOD screen, but not the camera. Camera will only launch from lock screen, not AOD..

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
Do you have edge lighting enabled? That block the screen from waking up.

Will there be any option to keep the long hold enabled for Bixby in the future? like in ver 5.02? It seems to be missing as an option to keep Long hold Bixby button enabled in the 5.10 version.
