Hello,

Thank you for your feedback @flar2 !
I have been using this application for several days as a replacement of bxActions which does not work on Android 12.
But I miss some features and I wonder if you could not add them to this application
On BxActions, we can remap the buttons in 2 different modes: screen off or screen on. This is very useful because the need is not the same in these 2 situations. Do you think you could add these functions? even if it's only on the pro version
Thanks!

That would be fantastic!

Another feature from bxActions I miss in this app:
When screen off you could press and hold the Bixby button to turn on flashlight. When you release the button, the flashlight turns off.

Could someone post here step by step instructions how to use these adb commands for Button Mapper? I'm a windows user. Phone s10e.

All steps are described clearly there :

Thanks. I had problem with phone adb debugging certification, but reconnecting USB few times solve that, and now everything works fine.

The manual method doesn't work either. I get '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Sorry I'm not a developer and none of this stuff comes intuitively to me.

You need to skip that first "." And "\", starting from "adb...", That works for me.

Hmm...that doesn't work either it just says 'adb' isn't recognized.

So I download that zip file, I extract its contents, open cmd as admin and CD to the location of that extracted content and then I run the cmd but it just isn't recognized. If I try and open the adb application from the extracted file location nothing happens.

Try to reconnect USB few times after debug mode on. You should be able to accept permission communicate on your phone then. If still not working, maby someone more experienced will help...

I'll try that when I get back home. Thanks for your help!

I just did it and had to include "./adb" etc, otherwise I got the adb not recognized error. Have your powershell or cmd in the platform tools folder directory. Then use "./adb" etc like on the manual setup page. Works great.

I also moved from bxactions with the recent Android 12/One UI 4 update. It will take a little getting used to because I had the flashlight set to single press, long press. I wouldn't mind some additional press options like single long press or single press, long press but it works!

I've only used button mapper for a few minutes but I'm happy so far. If it works well for a few days I'll gladly send a treat your way! Many thanks!

I'm trying to move from BxActions to this app for remapping the bixby button, but I can't get the manual commands to work after moving to Android 12. If I use './adb' nothing works. I get rid of the './' and I get the message "This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set" . Doesn't seem to matter what I do, it won't work. I've used adb several times before and never had this issue. Even killing the adb server doesn't work. Any ideas?

Edit: after disabling and re-enabling usb-debugging on my phone the command works. Looks like the app works, but it says to disable bixby in settings... There doesn't seem to be a way to disable bixby in the settings?

I've made bixby the double press and google the single press (via button remapper), but ideally I'd like bixby to not open at all. If I use the adb command to disable bixby ("./adb shell pm disable-user com.samsung.android.bixby.agent"), can I re-enable it later?

@flar2 I'm a pro user of your great app and one thing that I'm missing in comparison to bxActions is a torch function with enhanced brightness.

In bxActions there are two torch functions to choose, 1. "torch (system)" and 2. "torch (extra strong)", with the latter being about 2x as strong.

Another thing that would be really useful (and that also bxActions doesn't offer) is an additional option to turn on the screen when it's curtently off.

I have the single press of the Bixby button configured as camera shutter button, so it starts the Camera app respectively takes a picture when the Camera app is already started.

Now when I press the Bixby button while the screen is off, the Camera app is actually started, but only shown when I turn on the screen too. So currently I cannot quickly take a picture by simply pressing two times on the Bixby (= shutter) button.

It would be great if you could implement these two feature requests. Thanks and keep up the good work!

ATTENTION: I'm new here so I don't know if it's customary to edit or remove posts that are as utterly f...... stupid as this one.. The actions listed below are OF COURSE not missing, I'm just a moron. Thanks again for this app.. I'll see myself out..

Hello there, you wonderful person who made my Bixby button into something that's actually useful..

On my S10e I used to have a lot more actions to choose from that are now missing after a factory reset and OneUI update..

Remapping still works flawlessly (with Bixby disabled via packagedisabler), but at least two important actions are missing:

toggle portrait
Play/pause

What gives?

Is this an Android 12 thing? Any hope for me getting those two actions back?

In the meantime toggle flashlight is still available, which is genius!

Thank you for doing good work, much appreciated!

Hi, can anyone let me know how to toggle wifi? I only see the option for toggle mobile data.

@flar2 , I was wondering if you are willing to upgrade your useful app?

That's the phone I have, with same OS. This app worked fine on that. It doesn't do screen-on while phone is locked which forced me to switch back to bxActions but app looked to be working fine otherwise.

Help: motion sense is still not active on Pixel 4, Android 12 January 2022 patch.

Another issue I'm experiencing is that it doesn't always overwrite the action, but rather adds it on top of the default one, thus making the button execute both upon press. This was visible with Netflix button.

Try going to the troubleshooting section of Button Mapper. Enable alternate button handling.

This worked for me with an 2017 NVidia Shield using a 2019 remote. The Shield is using Android 11.
