Remap Boxby key with Boxby mostly disabled. - Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion

This is the only Bixby app that does not have to be disabled for Bixby remap to work. I have mine set to single press for camera. I have hear alot of people say that all of Bixby have to remain enabled. Luckily I can leave most of the features off. View attachment 4729585

with "Button Mapper" you can literally disable every bixby app (including bixby voice) and still remap the button

ps: whats boxby?

Yep, button remapper does it. U can diaabke all bixby related components and use the button. Theoretically should save some more battery.

[Q] Remap power key to launch CRT shutdown app

Need help remapping power key. Someone made awesome app called screen off & lock that does crt shutdown. It would be epic if we could remap power key to launch app.
whoa awesome i just downloaded it. the power button remapping would be awesome, but the long press search button isn't half bad. that's what i'm doing now.

I use voice search all the time. I would think the coding couldn't be to hard but I don't know where to look. It would be awesome if anybody could get this to work.
yeah i'm sure a lot of people use the search button, for some reason i never really need it.
with the camera hack that allows photos to be taken with the power button, and while watching videos, the power button locks the screen while keeping it on, so i know there's gotta be a way to get it to launch this activity. i just don't have any experience with this kind of stuff.
edit -
saw an app called galaxy tuner that apparently remaps buttons, but i am unable to mess with my phone while at work. give it a shot maybe?

Remaping buttons to create a dedicated camera button?

Any thoughts on whether it's possible to implement a dedicated camera button? It seems superfluous to have both the home button and the power button able to wake the screen, and it'd be great to have one be able to unlock to camera.
That wud be cool like assign pressing both volume up and volume down at the same time as the button

Yes, this would be great. don't let the thread die.

I think in theory that would be great, but what button would you replace?
The home and power buttons both have functionality that the other doesn't do. Both can unlock the screen (as you pointed out), but they don't both lock the screen. Also, only one of them actually performs the "home button" functions. So both are really needed.
I think matrixzone5's suggestion of a two-button action would probably be required.
Someone's already implemented on screen ICS buttons on the SGSIII, so for me ideally I'd have the power button as the camera button and the home button as the wake/lock button. Works for me because my case makes the power button hard to press.

Is there anyway to map a hardware button (Vol Up) to a specific touch area?

Hello guys,
I'm playing PUBG on S9+ Exynos and have trouble shooting while aiming.
Is there anyway to map the Volume UP button to the touch screen where the shoot icon is so I can shoot with the pointing finger while aiming and moving with 2 thumbs like on consoles?
Non-root method please
you need BxAction (or some other app that can remap hardware buttons. BxAction can remap Vol up/down and Bixby), tasker, and auto input.
- Use bxaction to map the button you want to a Tasker task (let's call it ShootGunTask, for example)
- in Tasker's ShootGunTask, go to the plugin and choose autoInput. Then input the display coordinate if the icon
I use something very similar to what you want in Telegram. When I'm in telegram app, short clicking Bixby button clicks the "send voice note" button. Effectively turning my phone into a walkie-talkie.

Remap Buttons

Hey guys... before people start jumping the gun, I know all about remapping the bixby button to another app.
What I would like to ask, is there any way to remap the Power Button to an app/action and the Bixby button to become the Power Button ? (without root)
I ask because I usually have my phone in my left pocket and it's just easier to use the thumb button for power rather than trying to find the power button on the other side of the phone.
It would have been nice if they gave us the option to assign specific abilities to individual buttons, for left and right handed users.
Thee is an app on Google Play called "bxactions" that might do what you are asking
The 'pro' version of the app does a lot more than the free version, which still allows some button remapping upto a point
There are quite a few Bixby button remappers out on Google Play Store, I've trued some of them and 'bxactions' seems to offer the better choices

Yeah, I found the bixby button remappers.
Haven't found any power button remappers though

[SM-G935] How do I remap my power button?

I want to remap the power button so it toggles NFC when I long press it (only when the screen is on). So far every app I've found is unable to do anything with the power button. I'm using a rooted Lineage OS 18.1.

Thanks, but that app doesn't work either. It says it can't modify the power button on the splash screen.
Would you want any other buttons, power button turns off the display so im not sure about NFC activating?

Lol, I know it sounds silly, but hear me out.
When you hold the power button the phone shows you a menu with the Power menu and, most importantly, card payment. As I don't want to keep NFC on all the time to avoid battery drain, I had an idea to turn on NFC every time I opened my Google Pay card payment menu (power button hold).
Ahh then you try finding an Xposed module?
You’ll find more chances of success in that way
