This isn't working fo rme. Keeps asking to disable the bixby button when it already is...
The bixby button state cant be detected directly. Just disable it as advised an youre fine.
is there a way to open bixpy on double click in any way ?
No, but you can access it from homescreen by swiping right.

hmm, i found another solution, set samsung launcher back to "default" for one action, swipe, re-enable bixby button, and use long click for custom action. then move back to nova launcher
Great app, thanks <3
Coming from the S7, I wasn't used to having the extra button on the left and kept activating Bixby by accident.
The instructions for bxActions are straight forward and easy to follow, thanks. I've not got Bixby button for singlepress: flashlight, doublepress: switch ringing profile between loud and silent. I've remapped volume up and down for skipping tracks on double press and play/pause on long press, I might have to get rid of the long press because I never noticed how often I just hold the volume button to turn it up rather than keep pressing it.
I tried remapping the Bixby button with mixed results (S9 dual SIM).
1. No extra permissions: when the screen is unlocked it almost always launch Google Assistant directly without Bixby Home appearing. When the screen is locked, the Bixby Home page appears for a second and then Google Assistant is launched
2. Extra permissions: with the screen unlocked everything works ok, but when the screen in locked Google Assistant doesn't launch anymore, like the button was never remapped.
The only thing I hate about this phone is not being able to do what I want with that button. It drives me nuts. I completely disabled it for the moment.

I had this same issue; a reboot solved it.
running great on my S9+. Thanks!
This is great, I love it! I bought the pro version in the play store to support your work. Being able to hold the button with the screen off to turn the flash on is invaluable.
Everything works great so far, but no matter what I've tried, long pressing the Bixby button either results in Bixby popping up for a short moment before the action I have bound takes over, or if I disable the Bixby Service in Apps, then a notification popup telling me to enable the service pops up shortly before the action takes over.
Single press / Double press work great. But long pressing results in the issue.
Edit: Saw the part under Tips & Tricks. Trying it now.
Edit2: Disabling Bixby Voice in settings does the trick! I'm an idiot.
Meh you have to hook it to a PC to configure. I'll pass

You are awesome! Keep it up, this is amazing, working really great on my S9. Do have problems with deep sleep think, when i haven't touched my phone for a while where it doesn't work. I'd have to test more to be sure of the exact issue. But this app is amazing and I love it! Way worth the cup of coffee
Hello everyone, is here any posibility to turn off Google Assistant when long press home button?. On Oreo I pressed Advanced Features - there I find Google and I can disable it. Now I can't find it anywhere - was this option dissabled?.
you should be able to disable it in the Google app settings under Assistant tab
Thnx for answer but everything is gray there, so I can't switch nothing. Also, the best case will be if is any possibility to don't start google assistant when long press home button - that's the main problem. When I use gestures, lot of time I want to go back to home screen but the google assistant will start. Any ideas?

if you don't use the google app at all, just disable it trough the application settings of the phone, this will stop assistant at 100%
hello. please i tried bxactions and the bixy button remapped works only with screen unlocked. i use only swipe lock, not strongly and secure lock....
with custom roms (all roms) the remap button with google voice assistant (for me useful), works even with lock screen.
what app can i use for to do this? or what can i do for make work bxactions?
naturally i gave all permission....
thanks
I want to know if it is possible to remap the shortcut that wake Bixby with power key to activate google assistant. I have root and i want to do this without any 3rd apps if it's possible, anyone can help me?
Bixby fails......
Bixby is not working properly. This is not even undersranding the basic things. It used to work properly before but not now. Others assistents(google assistant). work properly than the in-built assistant(Bixby). I request samsung to please remove bixby and put google assistant as major assistant . This might be a good change for all samsung users . Either upgrade your assistant or upgrade the phone features.
good morning. is possible without sideactio app? i would like assign to power button the google assistant command when screen is locked, thanks
