It kind of works but feels very flaky and unstable.

Every action I've mapped the button to take more than 2 seconds before it's invoked.

Jump to last app, is very unreliable.

I realize Samsung is trying its best to make remapping this button hard but I wish the response time could be improved.

I optimized jump to last app for comfort mode. Forgot to grey it out in performance mode. Will upload new version soon.

Normally it takes about half a second to launch actions.

1.6 is great... sound/vibrate is exactly what I was looking for... performance is much better than in previous versions... Performance Mode is great... i just wish it wouldn't go back to the homescreen after hitting the button but I understand it's a workaround...

thanx for your work brother, keep going.

have a coffee on me... ???

The same version is here and on the play store correct? ? I love performance mode, I wanted to have macrodroid action to rotate the screen but because it exits to home screen it is not useful that way.. so I have custom app shortcut and it's working really well ?

I'm seeing a major improvement!!!! New version rocks for switching apps and seems more responsive as well.

Great job, sir.

Is there a way to disable the bixby button when the screen is off? Every time i press bixby button, screen turns on even if i have selected "disable" in "phone locked"...

Bxactions doesnt comer up listening anymore

First, i want to say thank you for this app, remapping bixby was the first thing i looked for after setting up my S8.
Back a few versions ago I could touch the BX actions button and the Bixby button would go to assistant and would be in listening mode. Now it starts in text mode is there something that I changed or is there something that changed in the app?

Did you try if a phoe restart solves the problem?
