I managed to work changing code 703 into MUSIC, but you need to uninstall or freeze stock Samsung and Google players before.
Also, when you remove stock video player it will launch any other video player if you enter code VIDEO (in my case it launch MX player).

This is awesome. Just tried on my Note 8 running Pie Beta and works a treat. Just shared it over there.

Thanks a million

I just want to confirm this method works. I just renamed "WINK" with "MENU" and now the bixby button works as menu button. And with gravitybox or xposed edge I can use the bixby button to launch shortcut->tasker action and this is AMAZING.

my phone is note 9, running stock rom 8.1.0

I've been looking how to apply theses steps o a Samsung Galaxy with Lineage OS.

You can follow the steps as described in the post, but you won't find button 703 on the "Generic.kl" file. You have to search for a file named "gpio_keys.kl" on the same folder:

/root/system/usr/keylayout/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Also, I've found other commands to try if you wish:


APP_SWITCH - Recent apps button
ASSIST - Google Assistant (with item display on the screen)
CALCULATOR - Open default calculator app
CALENDAR - Open default calendar
CALL - Open default call app
CAMERA - Open camera
CONTACTS - Open default contacts app
EXPLORER - Favorite internet browser
HOME - Homebutton
MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE - Play pause media
MESSAGE - Default messenger
MUSIC - starts your favorite music player
POWER - Power menu
QPANEL_ON_OFF - Notification area
SYSRQ - Take a screenshot
VOICE_ASSIST - Google Assistant
VOLUME_DOWN - Sets volume down
VOLUME_MUTE - Volume media (set default media volume in phone setting)
VOLUME_UP - Sets volume up


All the steps described above have worked for me on a Galaxy S8 and a Galaxy S9+, with Lineage OS 15.1 and Lineage OS 16.

Thanks For you Hardwork
I am using HAVOC GSI on Galaxy S9 (SD845).
I am not able to find Bixby Key #703 in Generic.kl in keyboard layout.
Can i add key in Generic.kl? Will it work?

How do I set it up so it doesn't open anything? I'd want to map it apart with another app, but it keeps conflicting with the system configuration. I can't leave key 703 blank because then it doesn't work at all

    Hey community. I just figured out how to remap the Bixby button. I'm running a pre-rooted custom rom with deactivated Bixby and don't know if this is working with running Bixby. But I think it should:cowboy: so let's get started:



    - Make a backup of your files -
    Keycode for Bixby button is 703

    1. Go with any root Explorer (I'm using Solid Explorer) to
    /system/usr/keylayout
    2. Rename the Generic.kl to Generic.txt
    3. Open this file with an text editor
    4. Search for 703 to get following entry:
    # input_fw Intelligent Key for Dream key 703 WAKE
    5. Change it to whatever you want. I simply tried following:
    # input_fw Intelligent Key for Dream key 703 VOLUME_DOWN
    !! 6. Rename it back to Generic.kl (otherwise you won't be able to press any hardware button after reboot; as me lol)
    7. Check permissions
    8. Restart your device
    It works for me. My Bixby button is regulating the volume down :cowboy:
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    To 4. The entry could also be like following (after an update for Bixby Vision from 07.05.17):

    # input_fw Intelligent Key for Dream key 703 WINK

    ---------------------

    Some possible assignments so far:
    VOLUME_DOWN - sets volume down
    VOLUME_UP - sets volume up
    HOME - Homebutton
    POWER - Powermenu
    MUSIC - starts your favorite music player
    CAMERA - starts camera app
    APP_SWITCH - Recent apps button
    VOICE_ASSIST - Google Assistent
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Have fun playing around and please report back if it's working with just a rooted stock Rom and share your assignments with us :)

    ---------------------

    BTW: Thanks to RuggedHunter for sharing the script geteventsendevent.sh by GermainZ to get the Bixby key code :cowboy:

    ON / OFF quick panel settings / notifications:
    Code: 
    QPANEL_ON_OFF

    One press ON, second press OFF

    EDIT: I meant one press to pull down, second press to pull up, better explained.
