Hallo, I am trying to change that with one click I will open the POWERAMP app, but without success. How do I make this happen please?
I managed to work changing code 703 into MUSIC, but you need to uninstall or freeze stock Samsung and Google players before.
Also, when you remove stock video player it will launch any other video player if you enter code VIDEO (in my case it launch MX player).

I just want to confirm this method works. I just renamed "WINK" with "MENU" and now the bixby button works as menu button. And with gravitybox or xposed edge I can use the bixby button to launch shortcut->tasker action and this is AMAZING.

my phone is note 9, running stock rom 8.1.0

can you add toggle between sound/vibrate/mute
i miss the old alcate phone feature
You can't add or remove features.
This is just a trick to launch build in functions.
Search the thread maybe there is the trigger key word around.

Hey community. I just figured out how...
I've been looking how to apply theses steps o a Samsung Galaxy with Lineage OS.

You can follow the steps as described in the post, but you won't find button 703 on the "Generic.kl" file. You have to search for a file named "gpio_keys.kl" on the same folder:

/root/system/usr/keylayout/
Also, I've found other commands to try if you wish:


APP_SWITCH - Recent apps button
ASSIST - Google Assistant (with item display on the screen)
CALCULATOR - Open default calculator app
CALENDAR - Open default calendar
CALL - Open default call app
CAMERA - Open camera
CONTACTS - Open default contacts app
EXPLORER - Favorite internet browser
HOME - Homebutton
MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE - Play pause media
MESSAGE - Default messenger
MUSIC - starts your favorite music player
POWER - Power menu
QPANEL_ON_OFF - Notification area
SYSRQ - Take a screenshot
VOICE_ASSIST - Google Assistant
VOLUME_DOWN - Sets volume down
VOLUME_MUTE - Volume media (set default media volume in phone setting)
VOLUME_UP - Sets volume up


All the steps described above have worked for me on a Galaxy S8 and a Galaxy S9+, with Lineage OS 15.1 and Lineage OS 16.

Thanks For you Hardwork
I am using HAVOC GSI on Galaxy S9 (SD845).
I am not able to find Bixby Key #703 in Generic.kl in keyboard layout.
Can i add key in Generic.kl? Will it work?

How do I set it up so it doesn't open anything? I'd want to map it apart with another app, but it keeps conflicting with the system configuration. I can't leave key 703 blank because then it doesn't work at all
