FAQ:
1) No I will not create JKay Deluxe for the I9500.
2) Yes you will have to purchase again if coming from I9100 or I9300. This is 100% rewritten and now uses in-app purchases.
3) Framework and App is free. And most feature will stay free!
4) No ETA... this is a complete rewrite... both apk and framework.
5) How to install:
* Root your phone using latest CF-Auto-Root
* Install a CWM like this one
* Use CWM to install framework zip
* Install Deluxe Settings like any other Android app.
NOTE: Take a look at Mobile Odin for flashing and keeping root.
6) Can you port this to my phone?
Sorry.. I can do JKay for the phones I own. Currently that means the I9505. People are allowed to port JKay Deluxe. But only as a whole. This means that it will require the Deluxe Settings.apk to work and that all the features in Deluxe Settings works 100%. And as I don't have that phone I cannot do support on these ported phones!!
7) I just need this one feature from your framework. Can I port that?
Read question 6 and the rules on XDA. You must ask for permission before using any of my code or resources!!!!! Otherwise I will report you!!!
8) It does not work, can you please help?
Ok... Before you post questions like this please ask yourself: Does my question lead to other questions? Here are a few tips for posting questions.
* read all of this FAQ
* do a simple search
* be specific: never use words like 'it does' etc...
* make sure people are able to reproduce your issue
* specify rom version, custom rom name, kernel, theme name, JKay Deluxe version other mods installed...
* if you use a version that was ported to a different rom (PDA version) by another person and have problems then never ever ask for support in this thread!!! Don't even mention the problem in this thread!! People might think that there are issues with my mod when in fact there are not!
DOCUMENTATION
LED indicator
On the I9505 there is an LED indicator that can flash blue if you receive a notification and the screen is off. As soon as the screen is turned on this notification LED turns off.
When you show the notification panel then this notification is removed from the LED list so it wont flash blue again when the screen turns off. This is standard behaviour.
With JKay Deluxe this will all change. You can now have the LED flash in any color, with any frequency for any notification. You can even have it flash when the screen is on and when the notification panel is shown.
Check 'Use custom LED' to turn on custom LED color and frequencies.
To add a new led notification use the menu and select either 'Add new LED notification' or 'Add latest received'.
'Add latest received' will use the information from the latest notification you have received for the new entry.
All you have to do here is to edit the optional Filter field, select color and On time in ms and Off time in ms.
The Filter field can be used for matching the notification with the ticker text received. This way you can have a certain color and frequency for each person when receiving phone calls etc. like this: say I want a certain color for when my wife calls me. I enter Filter text : Missed call from The Wife
Filter is not case sensitive! Then I would select the Phone app, pick a color and frequency. Done.
Note that the LED will flash in the selected frequency and color when selecting the color.
And also note that the S4 is not very good as reproducing colors using the red green and blue LED.
Disable LED for a specific notification:
If you don't want to have your LED indicator flashing when you receive a gmail for example then simply make an entry for gmail and select 'Disable' from the menu. Make sure it's still activated and that you have enabled Custom LED.
Action profiles
Action profiles can combine many settings and actions into one action. Say you have a bluetooth headset and want to listen to your internet radio while on the go. With action profiles you can create one profile to say: launch TuneIn Radio, set bluetooth on, set data on, set wifi off, set media volume to 8. This action profile can then be use from anywhere... you can place it on the power menu, on a custom action menu, on long pressing a button, on the lock screen, on the quick launch panel etc..
You can even make it a toggle profile. This means that if you launch the action profile again then if would check if the TuneIn Radio application is running, and if it is then kill it, turn off bluetooth, turn off data and turn on wifi.
How to create an action profile:
1) Start Deluxe Settings and go to Actions
2) Press action profiles to see a list of existing action profiles
3) Press menu key and select 'New action profile' or 'New toggle profile'
4) Give it an icon, title and summary
5) If you select toggle profile then you can also set an off icon and a off text for the profile
6) Press '+ Add action' to add an action to the profile
7) Select a profile action from the list.. the 'Action menu' will bring up a menu with a list of action profiles
8) Keep adding actions until your profile is done.
9) Press on icon or off icon to change the icon for the profile. Here you can select a png from your sd card or an apk and use the icon from the apk.
10) If it's a toggle profile then the first action selected will be the matching value for the toggle profile. This means that if that value is on then all on-actions will be switched off and all off-actions will be switched on.
How to put an action profile on an action menu:
1) Start Deluxe Settings and go to Actions
2) Make an action profile that contains the 'Action menu' action and give it a title and dialog title
3) Press 'Edit action menu options' to see the list of action profiles on the Action menu
4) Press on an entry and select the wanted action profile
5) Select if the action profile should be visible when authenticated and/or on the secure lock screen
6) Move the action profile to the wanted position in the list
How to put action profiles on the Phone options dialog:
1) Start Deluxe Settings and go to Actions
2) Select 'Power button' entry and select 'Edit phone options'
3) Press on a '* Press to select AP *' or any other '* *' entry and select action profile
4) Select if the action profile should be visible when authenticated and/or on the secure lock screen
5) Move the action profile to the wanted position in the list
How to put an action profile on a button:
1) Start Deluxe Settings and go to Actions (or go to More -> Lockscreen if it's Home button while on lock screen)
2) Select what button to configure (Back, Home or Menu)
3) Select if it should be long press or very long press or double click (if home button)
4) Set the time-out value
5) Press on action profile to select a different action profile from the profile list
Note: if both long and very long press action profiles have been set then release button when phone vibrates to select long press action profile!
How to put an action profiles on home screen:
1) Start Deluxe Settings and go to Actions
2) Press action profiles to see a list of existing action profiles
3) Select a profile or create a new using menu
4) Press menu and select 'Create home shortcut'
5) Go find your shortcut on your home screen and place it where you want it
How to put action profiles on your lock screen:
1) Start Deluxe Settings and create the needed action profiles
2) Press more and Lock screen
3) Select your Unlock widget
4) Check the option 'Use profiles on unlock widget'
5) Select 'Edit lock screen profiles' and select the action profiles for the unlock widget
Current list of actions: Action menu, Application to kill, Application to launch, Application to remove, Blocking mode on, Blocking mode off, Bluetooth on, Bluetooth off, Call number, Close all application, Download, Flashlight on, Flashlight off, Flight mode on, Flight mode off, GPS on, GPS off, GSM only, Home, Kill foreground app, Lock now, LTE auto, Mobile data on, Mobile data off, Multi window show/hide, Power off, Recent apps show/hide, Recovery, Remove foreground app, Restart, Screen off, Screen timeout, Screen timeout until screen off, Search key, Secure mode on, Secure mode off, Sound on, Sound off, Sync on, Sync off, Take screenshot, Text number, Toggle apps, Unlock, Vibrate, Vibrate on, Vibrate off, Volume alarm, Volume media, Volume notification, Volume ringer, Volume system, WCDMA auto, WCDMA only, Wi-Fi on, Wi-Fi off.
... and a lot more will come!
Unlocked applications
You may have asked yourself 'Why would I need to be able to have the Samsung lock screen before the secure pin lock?' or 'Why would I want multiple widgets on the secure pin lock?'... Well because you are now able to run application without the need to enter pin code! Select the apps you want unlocked... it could be the Camera, Music player, the Calculator or Sticker notes.
Simply select the Lock screen page and check 'Enable unlocked applications' and select the apps you want unlocked. It's perfectly safe! There is no way to access any other app!
Keep in memory
Make your favourite application stay in memory always! This will cause the start of the application to be almost instant! Memory on Android is there to be used. But do NOT put large games on the Whitelist. Only whitelist small good behaving apps that you use a lot.
How to whitelist an application: One the More page check 'Keep in memory' and select the applications you want whitelisted. I currently have TouchWiz Home, Contacts, Messaging and Gmail on my list.
Check running processes in Application Manager to see what whitelisted apps you are running. They have 1 process and 0 services.
Unkillable apps
Say you have put long press to kill apps on the back key and you don't want it to kill certain apps then put the apps on this list and they will be safe from remove and kill actions.
Secure mode
Use the action 'Secure mode on/off' to disable you pin/pattern/password lock screen. This way you can quickly enable/disable security. Simply put it on in an Action profile and use it anywhere you like...

But it is different here. Live with it or skip it
It is one of the most expensive phones on the market and another euro will not make any difference
Hi Jkay, glad you are here, and gladly pay for your NEW work here in I9505. Thanks :thumbup:

Sorry I can't reproduce it. Mine are exactly the same size.
Greetings,
I just wanted to share some tweaks that I've done on my phone to make it much more user-friendly.
Disclaimer: I am not an android expert, until two days ago I had no idea how to root a phone. I realise some CM and other roms can do some of this stuff, but from my linux days I didn't want to go down this road.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ROM: This works with the stock Galaxy Y rom, and can be adapted to pretty much any Android phone, I think.
The Main Event: Media control using hardware buttons
1. Root your phone.
2. Install the XPosed installer backported by liudongmiao, found as an attachment from the following link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44034334&postcount=1
2.1. Using the installer, download and install the XPosed framework. For more help on this see this video by galaxyyarchive (the link in the description did not work for me) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsmQsP-lDWU
3. Using the Xposed installer, you will need to download and enable the module Xposed Additions. I also highly recommend the App Settings GB module.
4. Once it's all installed and rebooted, open the Xposed Additions app. Click on Buttons, Add New Key. Press the key you want. Add a condition (screen on / off / lock screen). Select the actions. Repeat this for all the keys and actions that you would like!
How I have my phone configured: Hold volume up to play/pause (regardless of screen condition). Hold volume down to go next song (regardless of screen condition). Hold back to go previous song (unless the screen is off).
It works flawlessly for me, never had unexpected results.
Problems / Tweaks
This method can not control the stock music app!. Most other players seem to work, I like to use RocketPlayer. It also works with pandora and jango.
On my phone, holding any of these buttons will start rocket player, even when the screen is off. So don't accidentally hold down volume down when you desperately want silence!
Do not install the Xposed framework or modules on the SD card (link2sd). They need to be loaded on boot.
How to prevent the screen turning on
1. To prevent media controls from waking the screen, you will need to edit a few files. Using root explorer or similar, navigate to /system/usr/keylayout
2. Open each of the files, and wherever it says VOLUME_UP or VOLUME_DOWN, remove the word WAKE from the same line.
3. Reboot.
Small problem
Rocket player has a really cool lock screen with media control, which works great together with the stock lock screen. However, when this is on, the phone will wake regardless of the above changes, when pressing volume buttons.
Camera Tweaks
If you install the App Settings GB module in XPosed, you can tick the box "show when locked" on the camera. Now when the camera is open and you lock the screen, when you wake the phone you will still be in the camera app! Close it and the screen is still locked.
This App also allows other handy tweaks, like forcing auto rotation or full screen (or not) in any application. Like Gallery!
I've also set holding menu to open the camera using XPosed Additions when the screen is on.
I hope this information will be helpful to someone! All the above, together with link2sd and juicedefender have made me like my phone again!
NOTE: On a rooted device, this is the fastest, most reliable and problem-free method for remapping Bixby (no limitations, no setup)
Button Mapper allows you to remap any action you want to physical or capacitive hardware buttons. This includes volume buttons, Bixby button, and many buttons on game controllers and other hardware you attach to your phone.
You can map shortcuts, apps or actions to single press, double tap and long press for hardware buttons.
The Bixby button on the Galaxy S9 and S9+ is supported as of version 0.62
Bixby remapping of single, double and long press is completely free. No ads. Pro version not required.
Does not require root. If your device is rooted, you will have many more options (essentially unlimited). Also with root, Bixby remapping does not involve any hacks, it is implemented at the input level (native).
This does require an adb command to remap Bixby on unrooted devices. It's a one-time setup. I do not use the method used by other apps because it leads to a poor user experience (i.e. swiping right causes actions to occur, get stuck in a loop)
This app is continually updated with new features and improvements.
Download on XDA Labs:

.
Big update update on the way soon.
You can remap all Bixby stuff for free with this app, and it has the most options of any remapping app.

To click the shutter? You can do that with select/enter action, but it requires root.

Not that I can think of
I've deleted the bixby services without know that the remap apps wouldn't work anymore
This app doesn't work either.

It's the only way to detect Bixby since Samsung bypassed the usual Linux input system..
thanks for this app. works great!

I don't think so. It's definitely not possible using the methods used by this app.
So...people don't like free stuff? Should I make you guys pay for double press and long press?
Nice job with this app man. Very easy to turn on flashlight and get to google assistant. I'll be unlocking the pro version in a little bit.
It also appears that, even though I am not rooted, the bixby button works to turn on my flashlight while I'm on the AOD so that is SUPER helpful.
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

Screenshot sound toggle doesn't work for me on Galaxy S9+
Can we also have an option to disable bixby single tap when the device is locked or in always on display mode?

Screenshot sound toggle only works for my screenshot implementation. It can't be controlled on the native screenshot (I assume you're rooted)

Sorry didn't get your point. How can choose your screenshot implementation? There is only one screenshot action available in the list.

If rooted, it uses the built-in screenshot. If not rooted, it uses my own custom screenshot because I can't access the built in one. The built-in is preferable to the custom screenshot, but there is no control over the sound in the built in screenshot.
