Map bixby to immersive mode. - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Guys, Does anybody knows if there is a way to map the bixby to immersive mode. (with keyboard support)

I think you can use BixBye and tasker to do it.

Or just use the app "bxActions" instead, this feature is already implemented in this app.
For me the best bixby button remapper.

I know, but not all the apps are in full screen. (like whatsapp)
Also the keyboard is not working in full screen.
But i have another solution.
I use the adb commands in combination with the app terminal shortcuts.

These are exactly the commands, which bxActions uses.
Alternatively, you can give the Commands through Tasker and Plugin "SecureTask".

The bxActions remap works but keyboard doesn't work for me if I use the function built into the app. Shortcutter Immersive tile works perfectly though.

bixbye+tasker+autotools works without disabling the keyboard.

Remapping home button to app.

So basically I'm fed up of Launchers. I don't think I really need one and would rather use Gesture Search instead. I can't seem to find a way to set an app as my homescreen though. Tried Button Remapper, but even that only lets me remap to certain functions.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Wrong section.
As for your question, id think there are apps that allow you to set an app to launch when home is pressed.
If not a simple hack could be to take your favorite app and edit's its manifest to capture the home intent. Then press home and select that app as default.
I'm confused. How do you propose you will switch apps?

Is there a shortcut for switching to the previous app?

I want to be able to switch to the previous app without going through the recent apps panel.
I use a gesture app that can bind gestures to shortcuts or activities that the system recognizes, so I need a tweak that the system will "see" so I can map the gesture to it. Any recommendations?
Thanks.

Thanks, but it doesn't look like switchr creates a recognizable shortcut or activity.

Just hold HOME button and go to the previous app you want ?
Or use the multi-task, hold BACK button to display the multi-task bar and use the application you want to use.
SWIPE HOME BUTTON ..PERFECT REPLACEMENT FOR HOME BUTTON. .

Please read my original post again. This is exactly what I said I don't want to do.

Swipe Home Button is the gesture app I'm using. It does not have a native "previous app" function.
GMD gesture control ftw

Thanks, lesalloum.
GMD has mappable actions, but they don't play nice with the Swipe Home Button app or the s-pen.
would be interested in this as well.
On my old note 7000 i had set the home button to switch to the last app, to have multitasking for 2 apps and sidebar launcher.
Switchr is cool but beeing able to set the home button to switch to the last app would be perfect. All we need is some "shortcut" for that which we then can set with wanam xposed or so.
Any idea? It needs to be a shortcut, app, or activty which can be launched from outside. (or with gestures etc, whatever u like)

Exactly. There are apps that have a "last app" function, but it needs to be mappable to the user's gesture app of choice. Tasker actually has a function for loading the last app, but it's been disabled forever, and it doesn't look like the function will get dev support anytime soon.

You can either use a custom rom that has the function to remap hardware keys built in or use an xposed module. I believe Wanam has it built in.

[Q] disable virtual keys in video streaming

hello members.. please, in my application payed for streaming footbal soccer italian tim league, in full screen i cannot remove the virtual keys in orizontal mode viewing. the orizontal mode is obligatory and in other apps (eg youtube) i don't see these keys... is there a way for removing these keys?
thanks
I'm not sure you can remove the softkeys on a per app basis
alternative is to root, install xposed and lg pie control, then install something like 'gmd auto hide soft keys' or lmt launcher (pie controls)

please i installed but not disappeared and how i return to visible the keys?
you have to activate lg pie control in xposed.. that will get rid of the soft keys on reboot
make sure to have an alternative controls installed though or you won't be able to navigate.. personally i use 'lmt launcher' which can be got from this very xda site, this gives you pie type controls which can be configured to your personal liking. I can't vouch for gmd controls because I've never used them, but they are popular.

Change Home Button 'Long Press' to Specific App

Hi there
I figured out how to change the long press home button to other 'Assist Apps' but really I'd just like to change it to a direct app shortcut (Google Voice Search).
Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks!

how did you change the home button?
search for home app in settings
Use Secure Settings
search for JB ExeNow on play store. This assist app can let you set which app to launch.
His other app JB Locknow is my favourite app for triggering lockscreen until Fingerprint lockscreen comes in (Better use other like Greenify to use other lock method otherwise you can do FP unlock from sleep - forced to unlock with pattern/code)
