As the Bixby button cant be disabled anymore on Bixby 2.0, double tap and long press features are not available currently
Just pushed a new update which should be partially compatible with Note 9
Should be online soon.
Thanks for this.
As I haven't got the note 9 yet, can you or someone explain what we can and can't do?
Can we only remap to basic functions like camera and google assistant etc? Only single push remaps?

This is awesome! Thank you!!
@Jawomo
Alright so I have the Note9 and I tested the latest version.
Jump to last app is broken.. it just does the endless looping between the last app and Bixby.
Also, every time you press the button for any action Bixby shows up for a split second and then the action is performed. I'm guessing this can't be changed..
That said, all other actions work fine. I haven't tested pro features as I haven't purchased the app and also the auto rotation since I'm not near a laptop right now with ADB.
Please, please, please I hope you get this working properly on the note 9! Would monetary donations make things any easier? I can't give up this app from my note8.

All we can do is send Samsung a complaint, that its not possible anymore to disable launching Bixby home with the Bixby button in Bixby settings.
Using Bixby voice on long press is ok, but its should still be possible to disable launching Bixby home on single pressing the button.
Theres always a way
Thank you very much for your great work.
BxActions is already updated. I can confirm that disabling the button work with using the app, although, you see the bixby home for less than a second. then it will take you out of it. I hope that you will be able to totally hide bixby home, I don't want to see it at all.
Also, the app is not yet fully functional. I hope it will get better.
For the users, please upvote and comment on Reddit here
https://reddit.app.link/vQdZh960AP
Samsung should at least give us back the option to disable the button.

Exactly. I've used package disabler pro to disable everything Bixby related and now it's not working. Any idea what package I have to enable in order to get button functionality back for Google voice? Cheers

Bixby voice is needed for remapping to work.
If you disable it you will kill the button completely.
How is the lock screen actions working for everyone? I use to record by hitting the button on the lock screen; but now the recording isn't starting till I unlock the screen.

Note9 Exynos model is now rooted. Perhaps you could use this to prevent bixby from showing up for root users?
This is working awesome for me. I'm not getting a pop-up or anything, it just works.
Unfortunately it does not work properly on lockscreen yet.
Bixby 2.0 is really a pain.
Thank so much for this apps tricks.
Work fine with last update

Forgive me if this is common knowledge and I missed the memo on it....
One thing I had to adjust when I went from my note 3 to the edge was the new approach to recent apps being used by the Left Capacitive button. Well, messing around just now I see that if you press and hold the button, it will pull up the current app's menu like it used to in the past. Best of both worlds!

I noticed that by holding the recent apps button down for 2 seconds you can actually get menue options on some older apps. I use Freedi for music and video downloads. I saw no 3 buttons at the top rigjt for optios and when I tapped the recent apps it well, took me to recent apps. I just masshed the button in (out of disgust) and lo and behold all the preferences and searxh features I thought werw gone showed up again. FTW!

Recent button worked as a menu by long pressing it since the Evo LTE lol. I believe all androids do it. It also works on G2 and G3's.
Sent from my SM-N915P using XDA Free mobile app
interesting. I got my edge here in Melbourne and as follows:
- pressing on the menu button brings up the recent apps
- long press, nothing happens but after releasing it still brings up the recent apps
- 2 clicks brings up the menu for the present app
wonder if there's another variation somewhere
If I accidentally long press my home button it opens the Google App. Is there anyway to disable this? I can't find it.
I think if you go into Applications and clear the defaults for the Google App it will stop that. The next time you long press it will ask you what you want it to do as the default. I don't recall what the options are after that.
Thx it was in applications but, the tab default applications. Than "app device support" than you can choose for Google App, svoice, grenify or none. Thx for guiding me to the right direction.

Ok I've done that, however now when I press and hold the home button nothing happens....I've also reset the Svoice defaults ?
The strange thing is whilst I'm connected to my Bluetooth car kit if I hold down the talk button it asks what to set as default, once S Voice is set I then try the home button but still nothing ?
Bump
I've managed to get S-Voice back, in case anyone else has the same issue this is what you do....
Enable the Quick Dial option under Galaxy Labs,

this then enables S-Voice and then you should see it under the Device assistance app setting

If your recents button is broken, how did you get to the recents screen shown in your attachment?
There's an app called HomeBot that will let you customize what a long press home button does, including showing Recents.

My Thoughts EXACTLY Juanito157! I just don't understand why the Hell these companies feel the need to "VIGOROUSLY FIX" SH!TE THAT ISN'T BROKEN!! And 9 times out of 10, they Remove or "Hide" options and widgets that were Just Perfectly Fine where they Freakin were to begin with. I Swear between my PC's, Android Devices, Gaming Systems and others like FireTV Box etc... I Must waste on average, at LEAST a Hour, Almost Every Damn Day, Just WATCHING & WAITING for UPDATES! It's getting really Outa Hand & Insane Lol.... Anyway's, So Sorry for the Rant, a little off topic... BUT YES, PLEASE Let us know if anyone has found a way to Revert or Change back to the way Google was before they HAD TO "FIX" IT ; ¤ }
I loved it because I could long press Home & "Force" Copy /Paste Info from almost anywhere, Even Screen Shot Pics. Now, If this feature is still available and I'm just being a Moron, Which is very possible, can someone Chime in and Help a guy out Please!
*** And I know that there are 3rd Party Apps that will do the "Copy Anywhere" thang... It was just NICE & CONVENIENT having the option built right into Google..
THX & AS ALWAYS, XDA IS THE SH!TE!!
With the latest update of Bixby Voice Samsung finally allows to remap the Bixby button! Unfortunately the remapping options are very limited.
With bxLauncher you can easily launch any action directly from Bixby's remapping option, without limitations! You can toggle the flashlight, launch Google assistant, take screenshots or start any actions you like!
Currently bxLauncher can only launch one action, and only when your phone is unlocked!
If you want to fully remap the Bixby button with double tap, long press and more and also launch actions from lockscreen then the app bxActions is recommeded!
SETUP:
Just open Bixby, go to button settings and select "Launch app: bxLauncher"
bxLauncher will then launch your selected action!
FEATURES:
Remap the Bixby button to any action!
Launch Google Assistant with the Bixby button
Turn on the flashlight with the Bixby button
High performance! No lags!
No annoying ads!
ACTIONS:
Launch Google Assistant
Turn on flashlight
Take a screenshot
Mute phone
Launch camera or any other app
Switch to last app
35+ actions in total
Please note bxLauncher needs at least Bixby Voice v2.1.04 to work correctly!
This app is in development and still experimental!

Nice app. It took me several minutes to figure out that it is setup icon that controls the settings and not the bxlauncher one.
Installed it on my exynos note 9 running on android pie with latest bixby update but nothing happens when I set it up on single press. Things I tried hoping to make it work but failed were rebooting and reinstalling the app. Do I need to the clear data of bixby? For reference, I am currently using an app called DND toggle to mute the phone using bixby button if that makes a difference on setting bxLauncher. Thanks
Works Great on USA Spectrum Mobile SM 960U Oreo 8.1.0 ux 9.5.
Used ADB once and am on latest beta (bxaction) and still working perfect!
BX Button & Volume Buttons
Photo's[emoji2398] by Sully using SM-N960U or SM-870A
With the last few updates the volume buttons started to lose mapping after some period. Reboot brings the mapping back but after I'd say 6-8 hours volume buttons mapping is lost again. Bixby mapping stays. Any ideas? I put bxbutton app to never sleep.

Hi everyone! With Android 9.0 and latest Bixby button, now you can natively remap Bixby button to do many things, BixBye adds a bit more to these 'many things':
* Launch Google Assistant
* Launch an App
* Power Dialog
* Recents
* Home
* Toggle Flashlight
* Back
* Lock Screen
* Open Notification
* Quick Settings
* Take Screenshot
* Toggle Split Screen
More:
* Nothing - to prevent accidental Key Press.
* Powerful Tasker Plugin - lets you perform any type of complex task using Tasker.
Download from Google Play Store. (Please don't forget to leave a review at Google Play Store!)
As it goes without saying, the App is experimental and is in Beta Stage, things may not work as you expect to. However, your feedback will definitely help me improve the App. I don't own a Galaxy Device, any screenshot/video will be much appreciated.
NOTE 1: You must open and configure/setup Bixby to launch 'BixBye Actions' App upon Bixby key press.
NOTE 2:If you face any issues/warnings with Secure Startup when you enable BixBye's Accessibility Service, please note that it's an Android bug. Just disable Secure Startup temporarily, enable BixBye's Accessibility Service and then finally re-enable Secure Startup for everything to work in harmony.

BxActions overwrites the Bixby button completely. Once enabled, it allows you to remap the single press to Google Voice Assistant or any other app. To use the long press button you then need to buy the Pro version. You will also loose the double press functionality when using BxActions.
This, on the other hand, integrates with the stock functionality. You set the single or double press to BixBye Action, and in BixBye settings you set the desired action, I have it set to open Google Voice Assistant.
Now in Samsung settings I have, single press opens Google Voice Assistant (via BixBye Action), double press opens Bixby Home and long press opens Bixby voice Assistant [emoji846]

Well, I don't want to use bixby at all - I use single press for Google Voice Assistant, long press for auto rotation and double press for torch. What do you mean, "you lose double press functionality"? It works great for me on BxActions.

This module remaps the functionality of the AI button. There are several options available until now but with your help and testing we can enrich the functionality.

Installation:

- If you want to reassign a new functionality to the button reinstall the module.
To uninstall:
- Uninstall from the modules section in Magisk Manager
Bugs
- Only single press for now! Basically this mod changes the functionality of the button so it is not recognized by the system as the AI button anymore and you cannot assign long press or double tap functions! Searching for a solution
- Maybe more

Module is in testing phase. Use at your own risk.

The problem is that remapping the single tap functionality results in miui not recognizing the button as "AI" button so it cannot perform the double and long press functions! This means that you have to use some 3rd party app to assign these functionalities
Very nice! Any way to toggle between silent/dnd modes?
nice work
thanks man.
Nice. Also works on my Mi MIX 3. One thing. Im running Pixel Experience GSI, and single tap works, double not (Yes i know its in beta). Also, the the fingerprint scanner thinks its a mouse pad or something. Cus if i tap the scanner it click things on screen.

Better to assign it for double tap. So we can set main camera on double tap power button and google camera on double tap AI button.
If you use tasker you can assign double tap, trible tap and even more. I wrote down some actions I programmed for my AI button https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78523778&postcount=38
I can share my tasker events if anyone is interested.

Thanks for your input. I mainly edit the /sdcard/Downloads/gpio-keys.kl as you describe in your post so I think that the combination of this mod and tasker is the best bet here! I have also posted in the Mi Mix 3 forum but you can include me in your post if you want and you find the mod handy, cause you do not mess up with files and editing (for new users).
For your other question Yes the button works when screen is off. For example, when I set the "Next Media" function, the song changes when I press the button even if the screen is off
Easy solution: Xposed Edge, the must have tool.. Register this hardware key in "Keys" section and easily configure tap, double tap, and long tap.. Nothing special required for this phone (Samsungs often need enablers first, then again you remap it with Edge). Even can mix with XIAOMI settings if you want. And can remap much more (volume keys, headphone insertion event and tons more). No brainer.
I'd wish Xiaomi would give us the option to just completely turn off the button :crying:

You can always install app called Swipeup Utility from Google store and change that one tap into any app you want
