After I disabled all Bixby function and reenabled them the bixby hardware button doesn't work, doesn't open it when I click it so the app doesn't work, anyone know how to fix this?

Is there a root method you could implement to make it so the remap doesn't make the scrolling stutter?

For remapping you can just select one item at the same time. Why do you use checkboxes instead of radio buttons?

Just was an easier implementation.. users wont use selection too ofthen anyways.

If theres a way i will sureley implement it. Till now this is the only solution.

You can try to uninstall the app restart the phone and reinstall. Sometimes android keeps services even if app is disabled. Also make sure to disable all other Bixby apps in accessibility.

when i hit the bixby button for a split second the Hello Bixby screen appears. I have not set it up yet, is this something i need to do to avoid seeing that screen for that fraction of a second?

You could also try the alternative blocking method.

Not working on my lockscreen, keeps asking to setup bixby, do i need to set it up, really dont want bixby to work at all

i have no issues but what i was asking, is because i never actually set up bixby is that the reason i am getting that screen? if setting up bixby removes that screen i'll do it.

This working after the update?

Why does it take me having to double press the Bixby button to get it to respond (was the same prior to BXActions install too)

Side note, works in assigning it to Google Assistant

Yes, working fine so far

Normally only single press is needed.
Did you try to restart your phone already?
Did you install latest updates of bixby and S8 firmware?

Remapping or deactivate bixby button when phone is locked doesnt work for me. Bixby comes, although it is deactivated when phone locked.
and if I say same action when phone locked or unlocked bixby is started too, although i have remapped to google assistant.
Is there a solution?
