New Bixby Workaround available - Working as of now

Noticed on AC, there was a new app for the bixby button...

When the App is installed and running, when you press the Bixby button, it will bring up Google Now. No option to change it to anything else. There is a slight lag, Bixby will open momentarily once the button is pressed, but Google Now will then open not very long after.

Only issue I found is I can't hit "Back" to exit. When you do, it goes back into Bixby, which in turn, re-opens Google Now. It's a loop. Just have to use the Home button to exit out.

Sounds pretty crap to me, slow, probably drains the battery, will need to be running all the time, and only opens google now. Personally I am not THAT desperate to remap it, I''ll just leave it disabled in package disabler pro so the button does nothing.

Yeah, I just tried it and then un-installed it. Just thought I'd pass it along.

Personally, I just added the Google app to my edge screen and use that to open up Now.

There is another here which sounds more promising https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/themes/app-bixby-remapper-samsungs-patches-t3594085

I still wont use that personally as I would rather not have something running all the time and also have to keep bixby enabled just to remap a button that i can live without quite easily anyway. but that one allows you to map it loads of other functions and doesnt have the loop issue.

Bxactions and be done with it. No lag, no stutter, it is a great app.

That's what I use. It's flawless.

Yep I'm in the same boat on the bxactions. I tried about 3 before going back to bxactions and still seems to still be the best option. It is fast to open and no lag.
The ones I tried has been:
BixBye worked well was fast but when you tried to use the back button it just did a loop and went back into the assigned app.
Bixby Button remapper had a bit of lag that you would see bixby open and then close and opens up the assigned app. It was quick but you still saw it before it got to do what it needed.
BixbyRemap only used took you to Google Now.

Those are my experience with those 4 bixby remapping apps.
