Omg this is the best idea I've ever seen on any mobile forum...
Flash on if home button is pressed for say 2 seconds and screen/phone remains in sleep/lock status, ingenious.

Doesn't seem to work on my device... Already tried to reboot / reinstall :/

if you want to disable home button waking device use root browser lite go to system/usr/keylayout/ gpio-keys.kl you will have to open it as a text file then with inbuilt text editor. go down to bottom were it says (key 172 home wake ) and just delete the word WAKE then press menu and save and exit . reeboot phone and then the home button will be disabled... :thumbup:

Hi guys,
Why don't just do this manually ?
1) Open Root Explorer
2) Navigate to: /system/usr/keylayout/
3) Press 'Mount R/W'
4) Long hold 'gpio-keys.kl' and choose "Open in Text Editor"
5) Remove "WAKE" from the line "172 HOME WAKE"
6) Back out, Save, Reboot

[APP] Button Mapper: Remap Bixby single, double and long press for FREE

NOTE: On a rooted device, this is the fastest, most reliable and problem-free method for remapping Bixby (no limitations, no setup)
Button Mapper allows you to remap any action you want to physical or capacitive hardware buttons. This includes volume buttons, Bixby button, and many buttons on game controllers and other hardware you attach to your phone.
You can map shortcuts, apps or actions to single press, double tap and long press for hardware buttons.
The Bixby button on the Galaxy S9 and S9+ is supported as of version 0.62
Bixby remapping of single, double and long press is completely free. No ads. Pro version not required.
Does not require root. If your device is rooted, you will have many more options (essentially unlimited). Also with root, Bixby remapping does not involve any hacks, it is implemented at the input level (native).
This does require an adb command to remap Bixby on unrooted devices. It's a one-time setup. I do not use the method used by other apps because it leads to a poor user experience (i.e. swiping right causes actions to occur, get stuck in a loop)
This app is continually updated with new features and improvements.
Download on XDA Labs:
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/flar2.homebutton
.

Big update update on the way soon.
You can remap all Bixby stuff for free with this app, and it has the most options of any remapping app.

I'm looking for volunteers to translate. Go to this link if interested
http://oskwvu0.oneskyapp.com/collaboration/project/258033

Version 0.66 is now released. It will roll out slowly on the Play Store, if you want it now, get it from XDA Labs
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/flar2.homebutton
This version has tons of small fixups: the AOD crash is fixed, activities open right away after pressing home, everything is faster, and there are more options. Also quite a few UI improvements.
Changes:
Pocket detection (pro)
Toggle auto brightness
Toggle Wifi hotspot (Android 7 and lower)
Toggle mobile data (root)
Clear notifications
Compatibility with Android P
Option to use speaker with Pressy, MiKey, etc
Global bypass option
More long press duration options
Receive incoming phone calls with home button (Samsung)
Add Spanish
Update translations
UI improvements
Optional lock method that allows fingerprint unlocking
Fix AOD crash with screenshot action (Samsung)

To click the shutter? You can do that with select/enter action, but it requires root.

I've deleted the bixby services without know that the remap apps wouldn't work anymore
This app doesn't work either.

It's the only way to detect Bixby since Samsung bypassed the usual Linux input system..

Hi
Thanks for this great app.
I use pro version.
Does it possible to remap back, home and recent soft keys on S9 ?

I don't think so. It's definitely not possible using the methods used by this app.

So...people don't like free stuff? Should I make you guys pay for double press and long press?

Nice job with this app man. Very easy to turn on flashlight and get to google assistant. I'll be unlocking the pro version in a little bit.
It also appears that, even though I am not rooted, the bixby button works to turn on my flashlight while I'm on the AOD so that is SUPER helpful.

UPDATE!!
Version 0.74 has lots of new goodies. It's rolling out slowly on the Play Store, if you want it now you can download from XDA Labs:
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/flar2.homebutton
-Menu action is now available without root
-Pause and resume remapping from notification, quick settings or public intents that can be used with Tasker or other automation apps
-If you use the notification, you can now change the priority
-Option to turn on screen with screen off actions, so if you launch an app with the screen off, the screen will automatically turn on (requires Pro version)
-Zello PTT toggle and hold actions (requires Pro version). This allows you to either set a button to toggle send, or hold the volume up or down button to talk
-Copy and paste actions
-Option to use VOICE_ASSIST for assistant
-Restore autobrightness when using brightness actions
-Fix shortcut bug
-Many other bugfixes and improvements
-Update translations
Here are the intents to pause and resume remapping. The first is a toggle, the other two explicitly pause or resume remapping. Use whichever best fit your needs.

flar2.homebutton.PAUSE_REMAPPING
flar2.homebutton.RESUME_REMAPPING

Screenshot sound toggle doesn't work for me on Galaxy S9+
Can we also have an option to disable bixby single tap when the device is locked or in always on display mode?

Screenshot sound toggle only works for my screenshot implementation. It can't be controlled on the native screenshot (I assume you're rooted)

Sorry didn't get your point. How can choose your screenshot implementation? There is only one screenshot action available in the list.

If rooted, it uses the built-in screenshot. If not rooted, it uses my own custom screenshot because I can't access the built in one. The built-in is preferable to the custom screenshot, but there is no control over the sound in the built in screenshot.

flashlight on lockscreen

is it possible to put flashlight on lockscreen instead of camera.. can not see options for this.
thanks

I keep that button for camera and enable this:

not really what im looking for, double tap on power button opens camera so dont need it on my lockscreen .i just want to put flashlight icon on lockscreen.
thank you , any one know if this is possible without dl another app?

It is possible with the app BxActions. You can choose to double click Bixby button to turn on flashlight on lock screen. I use it

I think you can only put an app shortcut there, and the built-in flashlight isn't an app, it's part of the OS. If you installed a flashlight app from the Play store, you could probably put it on the lock screen.

can you pull the notification down on the lock screen ?? if so, hit the toggle there.

This is trivial to do with root and xposed, does that work for you?

It can now be done with Samsung's Good Lock 2018 app, in the LockStar section of it. You can add up to 6 shortcuts, and flashlight is among the available ones.

I have good lock but i am unablevto use thus option, i try to set up with a simple black image as my background and try to add myv6 apos to the lock screen but it always fails. Don't know why

Power button far to Reach? Try Bixby Button Instead

If you are having difficulty reaching power button to put phone to sleep, you can remap the Bixby button to do so.
Its pretty easy.
You should be on at least XXXXASBA firmware.
Add a quick command in Bixby at Advanced Feature.
Command "Turn off Display".
In bixby remap optipn, select single press and assign the command.
The only drawback is it takes a sec to turn the screen off.
Still, sometimes it better than reaching that Monster's button on top. Enjoy!!

Ah thanks mate, you're a genius. If only they had double tap to lock on the stock launcher

You do have it in launchers like Nova. Couldn't find anything special about OneUi launcher so it took me 0.0001s to make wise decision

Also been using Nova double tap to lock...

You can create a shortcut to lock the screen instead using the same Quick command. Just go to quick command. Select the gear icon next to the command and create the shortcut by selecting Add shortcut to home screen. At least you now get an alternative to double tap on screen.
Double tap to lock screen might also be possible if you use Tasker (I am not sure but I can give it a try)

Thanks, I'm using this now ?

Thanks, this is actually pretty smart.
But I feel like its more for lefties. Still have to reach when holding it in my right hand, so basically makes no difference reaching bixby button or the power button.

If you have "difficulties" reaching the power button... Then you have serious anatomical issues and the phone sl button a is the least of your worries...

Just grab Good Lock, install NavStar and add the screen off button to your navigation bar.

Here's how I have mine set up...

you can use One Hand Gesture+ as well, and set one of the gesture handles to turn off the screen. Simply swipe from either side that you like (similar to how you open Apps Edge) to turn off the screen

No, they have the palm swipe only as far as I know, although you have to activate it in settings first, for it to work... you can try an app to create a macro, (great feedback in the comments ,but one them says the phone needs to be rooted which may or may not be) based on whatever you want as shown in this video.... not English, in Hindi, but you can make out the details and process from the visuals.
If all else fails, the power and volume rocker low buttons pressed the same time will take a screen shot by default.

Where i can find long press on one hand ?

just my 2 cents; i use good lock and the module navstar. i've put in 2 extra icons in the nav bar (originally has 3: back, home and apps). the other 2 to the left side that have been added are power off and screenshot.

Men thank so much for this tips

From my end, I use the button mapper and set up volume down long press as screenshot. I tried with one hand gestures and somehow, I prefer physical button. Would love to use bixby routine instead but couldn't find a way to screenshot.

Tap tap is my go to. Simply double tap the back of the phone and bam!

Lol I always turn my phone sideways so I can do the volume down & power button press two handed!
