[App] BixBye - New and fast Bixby button remapper!

[alanrxs]

Yeah this is ridiculous. I really don't understand how Samsung thinks it's okay to shove a feature down our throats when we've gone out of our way to show them we don't want it. They've built bloatware into an actual physical button. I've already hit this retarded button by accident numerous times since the software update. HALP.

Hi! Calling out all users on the latest T-Mobile (or another affected) update, please PM me your Skype ID and availability (with timezone.) To try out new workarounds for this update. Sooner or later similar updates will be rolled out to all S8, S8+ users. Any help would be much appreciated!

I am on NRD90M.G950USQU1AQEF and have no issue with the app so far. Continue to play arround with it.

Cheers

BTW, Thanks for the great effort...:good:

Working again on lockscreen and normal on my T-Mobile S8+. The first update only fixed it while screen was on, now it works with screen off as well. Although it does flash Bixby real quick at lockscreen when before the T-Mobile update it didnt. But at least it works now. Ive been using it for the flashlight, and hope it stays this way. Is there a way to not install an OTA? Or will it keep nagging you?

With latest batman rom 1.1.1 this is not working for me at all.
What am I missing?

Latest Update: Here we go! The Alpha_5.0 version of the App now supports the latest Samsung update. For those who haven't got the Samsung update yet, you will be pleased to know that BixBye will continue to work.

Thanks @1812luca, for testing non-stop several builds for this new workaround.

Download from Google Play Store!

Great app, thanks!
Please, return the "Back" button option - cant find one in my S8+ with Alpha_5, and please, add the "Screenshot" option.

Hi! The 'Back' button seemed a little buggy and I had inconsistent feedback regarding its working from previous versions, and so, it has been removed.

Screenshot option is on the to-do list!

Hi! Have you setup the Bixby itself first? This is a common issue. Please make sure that your Bixby is configured and responds to the Bixby button normally before activating BixBye. Let me know how it goes.

I just tried it and it worked awesome! Do you plan to add option for screenshot? Also Do you plan to add options like
- Double Click
- Long Press
So far your app worked AWESOME!!

Would be even more awesome if you could add above mentioned things

Working but buggy. Does not work from lock screen. Glitches it and said flashlight on but doesn't turn on. Works while screen is on. Probably going back to bx actions. Most of the time I call for my flashlight when phone is off.

Works beautifully! A suggestion would be a material layout and icon.

Indeed that would be great, but I was wondering what can be made 'material' in the App currently. The App has a single purpose, a single button on the screen to configure things, a single time configuration.

Hi, just installed an tried...

Some feedback:
Positive:
- Once launched, it works very quickly. First time you still see Bixby launching, further tries you even don't see Bixby anymore.

Negatives/Remarks:
- Does not work from the lockscreen.
- When notifications are pulled down, Bixby still launches in the background.

Hi! Appreciate your feedback!

On Lockscreen, do note that, if you have configured BixBye to launch an App, it can't. As BixBye can't bypass your lockscreen (it must not) to show the launched App. If you unlock your phone manually, you should be seeing your App launched in background.

If you see some other behavior, please elaborate.

Notification, do you mean clicking the Bixby button when notification bar is pulled down?

Hi, Is there a way to map the bixby button just to assign "Select" or "tap" function? It should act instead of "tap on screen".

Because i am using a VR headset and i cannot start anything without tapping on screen, so if the bixby button can map to "Tap on screen", that'd be great

Hi! Can you elaborate more on the usage of this tap? At what point of time do you require to touch the screen while using a VR headset, please give me an example use case.

If it's a super specific use case request, I am afraid I would have to ask you to use the Tasker Plugin.
