I don't mean to... But.... If someone has your device and sees no buttons and a large screen. They are probably gonna touch it. And chances are they will see the icons and press them... :S

Uh oh

Sounds like someone got caught by their significant other talking to someone they weren't supposed to be talking to. I suggest deleting those emails/texts that you are looking to keep secret... not that I am encouraging that kind of behavior to begin with.

Well didn't wanna go that deep - Although my original intention was to imply you aren't going to achieve secrecy just through an auto back to home tab....

So basically you have no real answer right?
Your response is worthless.
How does the home button help me?
If I am on the programs tab and hit the 'Display Switch' icon that installs when you use PS ShutXP, it shuts the device, but when you turn it back on, it brings you right back to the program menu.
So how can I use the home button? The device screen is off. When I turn it back on, then I have to press the home button? That makes no sense.
There should be a way where if you are on a tab, like the weather tab, and nothing is presed for 10 seconds, it brings you back to the home screen.
I dont mean to come across so sarcastic, but since you think you had the perfect response to the original question, I had no choice.

No where did I say I had the perfect response.
Yes it could be useful in the scenario you are stating.
However I clearly said that you would not achieve secrecy from emails or messages that you want no one else to see. An auto back to the home tab - I don't really see this as a valid solution to keep unwanted eyes from your phone.
But in the scenarios you stated, I'd gladly use it. There have been many a time I have hit the power button on the programs tab and turned it back on to find the programs tab again - then slid my finger to the home tab.
But aren't we just being a bit lazy at the end of the day ?

I'm not sure but I think when you use the default WM lock behavior, the screen goes back to today screen when it's locked

Hope you don't listen to music through TF3D... it would be constantly switching back to the home screen. If you were doing something like driving it would just add an extra step that would make you take your eyes off the road to change tracks.
"There should be a way" sounds a bit like a demand. Are there other features that the people from this forum SHOULD make for your phone? Remember you are asking for help. No one is entitled to other people's modifications. We are lucky enough that there are so many nice people here that are willing to help. Just like the help that was being offered by stating that the home button would do what you wanted. Granted he misuderstood what you wanted but he very well could have just misunderstood and then decided not to take time to try and answer you.

thank you all for your nonanswers and cooprate.
I don't have anything to say
but iam satisfied that the lonely and final solution for all your PPC use which Mr.Beherrschen suggested .
examples :
- if you think to secure your personal data dont look for locking app. simply delete these data.
- if you want to save power for your device simply turn it off.
- if you want your manila auto go back to home tab simply delete all other tabs.- if you can - or sell you diamond as i will do .
and much much more .
bye

Installed Lock screen replacement app....and phone ruined

after installing...i set it was default home screen.
since then..the entire screen went black..and whenever i press home button..all i see is a blank screen
without the home screen..i cant use any of the phones features..so my phone is kinda rendered useless
pls help.
how to hard reset the phone or get the helix launch back?

Might help if you told us which lock screen app it is. Try restarting?
Gary~

Do I understand it right you set a lock screen app. as your home screen??? not a smart move. Can you still access apps, than open the app and by most of the lock screen programs in settings you can undo this. I think there must be a " don't select" sign next to the lock app when you selected it as your default home screen.... That should have said enough....

Perhaps you could try booting in safe mode... Still testing it out. hold on
Gary~

Tuff one. I'd say just re-flash the phone. That's probably the only way you could get any response from phone coz' you'll be doing it while booting.

I have a feeling safe mode might be able to save you. However, I have not been able to boot MY phone in safe mode... You could try. There seems to be quite a few ways
1) Turn on phone and when you feel the vibrate press the volume down key
2) Turn on phone and when you feel the vibrate hold the menu (left) key until it boots completely
Tell me if you have any luck

Hi,
I know your phone is fixed now... Glad you managed
Other things to try in such situations:
- Install 'Folder Organizer' and have it add an entry to the notifications; then you can start apps from the notification menu. Open Android Market, see below for the rest.
- Wait for the Android Market to announce you that you've got some updates. Open the Android Market from the notification. Now you can install, and also launch apps. Install 'Home Switcher', and open that app. Select the home-app that you want to use and launch it
Oh, and once you have a way of getting into the Android Market, you can of course also un-install the app that caused the problem in the first place
Cheers,
--Tim

Great to hear it is fixed.

issues briefed with my galaxy s5 brand new device

hi guys, i just got my galaxy s5 2 days ago,
i can tell it seems nice, but?
1- the tapping sometimes seems not callebrated!! like when i click to show the menu in data usage, it gives me the list to select/unselect the "restrict background data" but i can't select it!! same in many other menus, these menues which they changed from the press bottun hardware into a software menu to select, i can't select the ristrict background data, it is either going to above it "data roaming" or below it "enable wifi measure" how i can callebrate it? how i can make the touch work fine!!?? i even tried to use a thin pen softly many times, i just can't control some menus like the one i said about, also in messages (SMS) when trying to open a first message in the list, it opens for me "create new message instead" looks like the hit comes on the place that is above what i tap!!! any idea why?
2- i want to make the clock alarm put the das like S M T W T F S, but it keep reading starts from Monday, i've selected the regional settings correct "Dubai/ UAE" and made sure that is all like my old S3 which was fine, but i just couldn't make it appear as startting from Sunday!!! any idea?
3- when i am on the home screen, going right, goes to the right page, fine, going right again, goes to the next page, fine, but if i go left, it opens the magazine thing, i don't want it, i just want it to open the last page normally like you are flipping the pages, how i can do that?
THIS IS SOLVED, I COULD DISABLE THIS MAGAZINE THING, PLEASE IGNORE THIS NUMBER 3, THERE ARE SETTINGS THAT YOU CAN ENABLE AND DISABLE
4- the usb input place is really disgussting, everytime you need to carefully remove the cover and each ones you have to make sure you do it carefully not to spoil it, is seems thin and can't handle pressure, i just don't know why they put it,,,, any idea how to remove it "without breaking it" out of the device, so to keep it aside and may use it later for example??
5- i am planning to keep my s3 as secondary phone, and wanna like only to sync contacts of google account that used in the s5, nothing more, no apps or google play stuff, only for backup call solution if needed, so what is the best practice to achieve this? if i put my gmail account it will download and install all apps which installed on s5, and i don't want that, what is the best practice for this?
6- how to create a folder on the main home screens? i can't find this option yet
thanks for your time guys

#6. Long press an icon you want in a folder. Options appear. While still holding down on the icon move up to where it says make a folder. Then you can name the folder and add more apps to it.

thanks, that works, i could create a folder
number 6 is done, still the first question, specially the selecting from the menu, makes me crazy, i can't select all menues, even when in main apps place, click menu and can't select "create folder" for example, seems the touch is not working as supposed to!!! some menu can't be really selected, is it a touch problem? hardware? my device problem? gets me really crazay, i want to trestict background data but i can't select it!!! same in sms, if select the first sms, it takes me to priority set options, which is above the first sms list... is it the touch callebration? how i can solve this? what about the other questions?

the option for number 3 if anyone else is looking for it, go to your home page, long press the rescent apps button, hit home screen settings, uncheck my magazine

oh, just noticed your other reply to Q no2
exactly dear, i have it on my galaxy s5 starting from Monday!!! is this picture from s5? for me i've selected english as language, and standard gulf time, is there any other settings that i need to change?

guys, nobody is facing this tapping callebration issue in the S5? i affraid my mobile device is the only one doing this, so i have to return it back to vendor,
please advise

It does seem like a hardware problem to me, but I can't say for sure of course.
I never had such problems though.

Mithrandir007,
if you have the s5, can you please go to data usage, and click on that menu button up there, then try to select the strict background data, is that works and selected normally?
problem is i can select everything else on the phone, only this new menu list, in some occasions, i cant select the first or the second option, same for new folder in the apps list, same also in the sms list...
please, anybody can confirm or explain anything related?

device was defective in hardware, even software update (fresh software installation) did not help. unfortunately, many people had the same problem as Samsung representative stated earlier today, they took the device from me and will arrange for replacement soon. this is FYI guys.

Tip: Hold the recent apps capacitive button

Forgive me if this is common knowledge and I missed the memo on it....
One thing I had to adjust when I went from my note 3 to the edge was the new approach to recent apps being used by the Left Capacitive button. Well, messing around just now I see that if you press and hold the button, it will pull up the current app's menu like it used to in the past. Best of both worlds!
:good:

I noticed that by holding the recent apps button down for 2 seconds you can actually get menue options on some older apps. I use Freedi for music and video downloads. I saw no 3 buttons at the top rigjt for optios and when I tapped the recent apps it well, took me to recent apps. I just masshed the button in (out of disgust) and lo and behold all the preferences and searxh features I thought werw gone showed up again. FTW!

As a VZW user with no root ...I use Pie Control ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jun.ace.piecontrol ) from the Play Store -works great on unrooted devices & you can arrange / choose which keys / apps you want quick access too. I only use the phones back button to bring up my multi-window apps...
I linked the free version of the app, but I use the paid as it offers more customization & function...

Recent button worked as a menu by long pressing it since the Evo LTE lol. I believe all androids do it. It also works on G2 and G3's.

interesting. I got my edge here in Melbourne and as follows:
- pressing on the menu button brings up the recent apps
- long press, nothing happens but after releasing it still brings up the recent apps
- 2 clicks brings up the menu for the present app
wonder if there's another variation somewhere

As the Bixby button cant be disabled anymore on Bixby 2.0, double tap and long press features are not available currently
Just pushed a new update which should be partially compatible with Note 9
Should be online soon.

Thanks for this.
As I haven't got the note 9 yet, can you or someone explain what we can and can't do?
Can we only remap to basic functions like camera and google assistant etc? Only single push remaps?

We need your app's apk version

This is awesome! Thank you!!

@Jawomo
Alright so I have the Note9 and I tested the latest version.
Jump to last app is broken.. it just does the endless looping between the last app and Bixby.
Also, every time you press the button for any action Bixby shows up for a split second and then the action is performed. I'm guessing this can't be changed..
That said, all other actions work fine. I haven't tested pro features as I haven't purchased the app and also the auto rotation since I'm not near a laptop right now with ADB.

Please, please, please I hope you get this working properly on the note 9! Would monetary donations make things any easier? I can't give up this app from my note8.

All we can do is send Samsung a complaint, that its not possible anymore to disable launching Bixby home with the Bixby button in Bixby settings.
Using Bixby voice on long press is ok, but its should still be possible to disable launching Bixby home on single pressing the button.

Theres always a way

Thank you very much for your great work.
BxActions is already updated. I can confirm that disabling the button work with using the app, although, you see the bixby home for less than a second. then it will take you out of it. I hope that you will be able to totally hide bixby home, I don't want to see it at all.
Also, the app is not yet fully functional. I hope it will get better.
For the users, please upvote and comment on Reddit here

Samsung should at least give us back the option to disable the button.

Working on it

what if you just completely disable bixby through a package disabler?

Exactly. I've used package disabler pro to disable everything Bixby related and now it's not working. Any idea what package I have to enable in order to get button functionality back for Google voice? Cheers

Bixby voice is needed for remapping to work.
If you disable it you will kill the button completely.

How is the lock screen actions working for everyone? I use to record by hitting the button on the lock screen; but now the recording isn't starting till I unlock the screen.

Note9 Exynos model is now rooted. Perhaps you could use this to prevent bixby from showing up for root users?

This is working awesome for me. I'm not getting a pop-up or anything, it just works.

Unfortunately it does not work properly on lockscreen yet.
Bixby 2.0 is really a pain.

Thank so much for this apps tricks.
Work fine with last update
