Just tested, the app works fine on S10, and gives you full control of the Bixby button!
The S10 has this as a built-in feature, no need for a remapper.

The built in feature does not allow you to have double click or long press features. That actually makes this button extremely useful now. Kudos to the dev.
Hope it works just as it does on the S9. Love your app!

The built in version only allows remapping to open an app. It doesn't for example allow you to change a setting or turn on your flashlight.

Hell yeah! Pre-ordered my S10E last night. Happy to see you're here supporting us! You made my Note 9 experience a lot of fun!
This is one of the most useful apps on my Samsung S9+. I'm relieved to know it'll have support for my S10+!

Not that I don't appreciate everything you've done for us, but I just wanted to confirm (so I can stop bugging you about this) that we can forget about ever having these features without needing AOD to be activated. Right? At least not without root, which for most of us who are getting the SD version of the S10 will likely never see root. Thanks!

You only need AOD to be enabled if you want to remap the volume buttons when the screen is "off".
Bixby button can be remapped without AOD whithout any problems.

Hi all. I'm in line to get a Galaxy S III (upgrading from my Galaxy S), but I'm kinda dissapointed that Samsung went with the 2.3 button layout (menu, home, back). I'm running ICS and the awesome multitasking menu is hindered by having to hold home for 1 second to access it.
Is it possible for a custom rom to remap the menu key to make it the 4.0 multitasking key? This phone's hardware coupled with stock ICS would be amazing, and it would be even better to be able to really get that multitasking the way it should be.
Anyway, just wondering!
I would also very much like to know that.
multitasking on the menu button and menu on long press homebutton.
+1
I too reckon the buttons should be swapped
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664041
The problem will be getting around the voice activation, so unless there are separate mappings for press, hold, longpress, then it might need some serious tinkering to fix it.
So far nobody has done it on sgs2, which has a large support forum and the same stupid button setup as sgs3, so it might take some time..
Keep bumping and keep hoping and we'll see if someone can answer our prayers. Perhaps a pm to chainfire?
Sent from my mind using telepathy..
expected the same for sgs2 ics, but it didnt happened at that time, not only that i couldnt find the value for remapping the longpress part, you can easily swap the menu with home button though
If it is not possible, i'll install the mod that shows the three classic ics onscreen buttons, nexus like.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk 2
This may sound daft but... if apps haven't got a menu button built in, how do you access options without a dedicted menu button?
I'll elaborate... ICS aimed to move the menu button from the phone to within apps themselves, so that it could be incorporated if it was needed. Now if app designers are on the ball this is great, but if you run an old app that hasn't incorporated the menu button, and the phone doesn't have one either, then what do you do?
Droid life just posted about this. Old apps that don't incorporate the action overflow function of ICS, create a black bar at the bottom of the screen with three dots for menu. Not pretty but functional.

I thought that was the case. You lose a lot of screen real estate for a single button - what a waste. This is exactly why I prefer the S3 key layout over the One X key layout. Until developers properly adopt the menu button into their apps it is valuable to have a dedicated hardware menu key. In six to twelve months, when all apps have been updated, this will be a non-issue and I will probably favour the HOX key layout. In my opinion anyway.
Edit: Just looked up that article you talked about. It outlines my opinion perfectly. I wrote a similar piece last month and sent it to all the major Android news sites. No one ran with it. Perhaps my writing style leaves a lot to be desired, lol.
Here's an example of the black bar we are talking about... yes it restores menu functionality, but it's a long way from being ideal.

I'd rather have the black menu button, I really don't mind it. My other phone is a one x. And have gotten used to it. The thing is the s3 will be the best selling android phone soon, so as long as it uses the menu key, developers will see no need to make their apps ICS native style. In fact the Samsung apps themselves aren't native ICS.

You will be surprised that Samsung's apps is actually compatible action overflow option. I successfully enabled that on my S2 and remapped the menu button to app switcher. I left a fallback option of having the menu button on long press for older apps.
I managed to do the remapping on my S3 but I am having trouble editing the framework-res to enable the action overflow button without putting the device into a boot loop.

Can we remap same as you?
cm10 has implemented the button remap feature. now you can easily change the menu button long press to recent apps in cm10
I would like the power button to be a shutter button while in camera/video mode. Coming from Sony/Ericsson I really miss this feature.

There was an option to remap hardware buttons on S3 on some AOSP/AOKP rom but now I can't find that option!
In case anybody is still wondering about this, LiquidSmooth also lets you remap hardware keys.

yes because camera and gallery is the same app.
we should blacklist the certain activities, not the whole app.

Great app
Hi,
This is a great app and is working well but I just wanted to report a slight bug... if in kids mode the homebutton on my Samsung Galaxy S5 is held down then Google Now launches. This isn't so much of an issue but if a search is performed then Chrome opens and the kids are able to get on the Internet and mess with bookmarks etc.
Thanks for your great work on this

What is exactly happening ?
Is it reverting to home screen, recent screen or google search ?
Can you explain a bit more ?
Thanks for making this module! I was thinking that this is just what is needed using Xposed after looking into the parental controls that are in Amazon tablets, and things like the OLPC tablet, and Nabi.
I hope that this can grow into a full featured parental control app with usage time limits, and tracking of what apps are used most. Then no matter what android device I use can be safe from the kids messing up the device, or going where they shouldn't.
If the app usage tracking is added, it could serve much the same purpose as the OLPC tablet does in helping to see what your children are interested in. You could make available many different subject learning apps and see which your kids use most, and help encourage them to explore more deeply into that subject. All without having to report this information to some huge multinational company like google, amazon, or MS.
Thanks for the module! Has potential, however it isn't quite working on my Nexus 4 N5X ROM 4.4.4. I am able to add shortcuts and enable kids mode, but when I press the home key it takes me to my stock home screen not the kids mode home screen!
This ROM is built from 5.0.0_r7 branch.
I want to bring the stock experience in my ROM. I believe google has done great things to make android better, but at times they always leave things out that would make the os perfect. I try to do that with my ROM. This will not be a ROM that is packed with every single feature out there. This will be a ROM that will include the necessary features to enhance the android experience. This is Minimus. Hope you guys enjoy it
Please note this is in beta. Please report any bugs. Thank you.
Features:
- Built from AOSP
- Expanded power menu
- Many "under the hood" optimizations
- Delete Screenshot
- Clear All recents
- Quick access to Quick Settings
- Navigation bar height
- Battery Percentage
- Latest Google sources
- Disabled forced encryption!
- Double tap to sleep
- And more!
To install:
1) I suggest a clean wipe coming from any 4.4.x or stock ROM.
2) Flash ROM, Gapps, Root (in this order)
3) Set everything up. (Start up might take awhile so give it time)
4) Enjoy

Double tap is enabled by default by the way. It's just not 100% like the app. Sometimes it requires more than two taps
First impressions,
Very nice ROM. Has many of the features that I had apps to do (e.g. Battery %, Double tap to Wake,
Other than that, everything works great. Haven't tested the speakers or sound or video just yet. Using LeanKernel beta2 with this ROM right now.

Some observations, you mention double tap is enabled by default. It wasn't, it has to be activated in Settings > Display.
Also in Dev Options > Kill app back button.. when enabled, it doesnt kill the app. I believe this option wasn't in stock dev options.

There's a difference for the double tap in display settings. That's for tap to sleep. Nexus 6 had double tap to wake like the OPO or HTC one, but google disabled it. I'll look into the killing app.
Holding back does kill the app. You just need to hold onto it a little bit longer. I'll shorten it so it makes more sense with the haptic feedback.

Ahh right, its still early for me holding back does kill the app, you're right again on that. I was testing kill Settings.apk instead of another app.
Maybe you could possibly add the option that lets the user change the kill rate to be lessen or greater. I've seen this in previous ROMs as well as possibly add Double tap to wake disable/enable in Display for those who are afraid if their screen turn on since the double tap to wake doesn't check for proximity sensor
Big fan of your work, thanks!

Is there a way for us to turn off that feature permanently (persist through reboot)? I had it on my G2 and it was a terrible feature for me. Causes way too many wakeups in my pocket, leading to locked phone if I have security on lockscreen or doing all kinds of stuff in my pocket if I dont have a password to unlock. Much better to just not use the feature and then I dont get random wakeups.
other than that it looks like almost everything I want in a ROM. The one feature left that I am still looking for is being able to switch around nav buttons, then Im set. I think I can do it by hardcoding the changes I want though so its all good.

Preliminary setup:
Open the app and press “continue” on the splash screen.
Then choose the version you want: comfort or performance.
Hit ok on the splash screen AFTER READING IT which opens accessibility which enables you to:
turn on the service by scrolling down, choosing bxactions and the version that corresponds with your earlier option (comfort Vs performance) and turning it on.
Now hit back and you're into bxactions again. Press “ok”
You're now good to go.
Usage:
In bxactions choose “settings”
Here is where I assume people get lost:
Where it says choose actions and Google assistant is selected you have to press on Google assistant, and a popup will bring you a variety of functions to choose instead of that.
“Launch application” enables you to choose any app you want (game, browser, etc)
Good luck
Definitely worth buying the pro version. you get the voice function for google assistant, and a 2nd action for the lock screen. HUGE thanks to the developer!

Will it ever be possible to add the native screenshot function without having to have root access?

Thank you for the quick fix.

Can't find flash light though in start app. I will investigate more cause it might be me.lol
Works great for me , so again thank you devs! I will be going pro this weekend!
Now all I am waiting for is ROOT! Haha
Never mind!
Yup it was me.
Flashlight app needed update.
A separate dedicated button shouldnt be locked down for only Google Assistant.
Any way to remap it?
+1 Anyone?
I'd rather map this to Dialler which I'd use far more widely compared to any other app.
same here

Same here, did anyone fine any way ?
Not remappable yet. May be they'll change it via future updates.. highly unlikely imo.
So, here's the thing. I used an app called "Cometin" to try and remap the button. It didn't work (although, click and hold home button to summon assistant was successfully remapped) and when I got in toch with the developer, I was told,
"This appears to be difficult as the OS is calling google assistant directly."
If that's the case, I highly doubt it is possible to remap the button without root. I don't believe motorola will provide and update to allow remapping.
Disable Google Assistant Button
I hate this button. I wish manufacturers would stop shoving non customizable hardware bundled with unwanted software combo on to our devices. I guess this is the compromise that Motorola has made, in place of the usual plethora of software bloatware.
Is there a way to even disable this button? I read elsewhere that setting the 'default assistant app' to 'None', disables this button (instead of remapping it). Has anyone tried this?

Whoa, you mean you tried it on the one fusion+ and it worked? ? I guess I'll give it another go in that case

Well, I tried it again, and it still isn't working for me for the dedicated button. Can you confirm which version of the app & device software version you're using?
I got the same issue.
I'm guessing I'll end up sending it to a repair shop to remove the button or, Jesus, just glue it unpressed.
Cyanoacrylate should work, I'll let you know if I decide to go for it.
Whoa! No need for that! So I'm rooted and first thing I did was uninstall Google Assistant which makes it so pressing the button doesn't do anything. Also, I found the file that controls what the button does. It's "/system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl" the only problem is the stupid kernel is write protected so I can't actually modify the file...
Honestly I really hate this extra button and since its ther I'd rather remap it as a firing button for wither pubg or cod. Just hope these morons give the option to remap in a future update
So yeah, I have a working solution without having to root your device.
All you need to do is to install Tasker, either buy it or rip it, I don't really care.
After that, follow some easy steps:
0. Create a task containing two steps: switching to home screen (you'll need that to prevent endless cycle of entering your fav application again and again when you swipe/press back) and then launching your fav app.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
1. Then create a profile for Google app on the Profiles tab (not the Assistant app!) and assign your newly created task to it.
2. Save everything and enjoy.
The only little annoyances here are that you'll have to sacrifice the entire Google app in favor of another app, and also that annoying google beep at the launch.
Happy hacking, dudes and dudettes.
