I know Samsung made it so this wasn't possible but I saw a new app this morning and allows it.
Not sure exactly what it is doing but it works. Verified with multiple apps.
I made a short video
You can see it takes around 20 seconds for it to apply the changes but the shortcut worked on multiple apps

This is the one that worked the best for me. You can disable all the bixby packages except for Bixby and Hello Bixby.

I tried this one and the one from the video (Bixby Remapper). Bixby Remapper seems to work more consistently. As in it works every time, but the one you linked only worked every few presses for me.
EDIT: Link for the one from the video.

I've played with it all afternoon and didn't have any issues. I'm sure they are both good, I just didn't want to see Bixby for even a second when I pushed the button. Several I had to tap the button twice - this dev has it down to a single tap.
didnt work on my verizon s8+, anyone have verizon?

I always thought gravitybox would be able to do that, but again, I havent used it on my opt yet.
Try posting this question in the pinned Q&A thread and you might have better chance of getting an answer.

Can confirm this app works :good: Restricted with what you can add to remap button but working fine now(Until Samsung get wind of it)
This works great. Thank you so much. Just an FYI, if you want this app to work you must leave one of the Bixby services intact. I used package disabler Pro to disable all the Bixby apps. I discovered that I needed to keep one of the Bixby Services intact in order for this experiment application to work. I attached a screenshot to show which service you must leave enabled
It's not working for me. Bixby still starts with the button. I tried rebooting and several different remaps. I received an OTA update last night. I wonder if that may have disabled it.
Best one so far, just need to leave 2 Bixby packages enabled, only need a single press and don'y see Bixby at all.
Cannot see how to enable the double press and long press.
Also i have not accepted the OTA. Disabled all update packages in case root comes out for an older version, want to keep it as the lowest possible version
This does work by the far best from what I've trjed. Can anyone help with assigning Google app? It assigns the assistant

It is important to note that there are several programs that work, but this one works PERFECTLY!
When I map to google assistant it just seems like it works hit or miss. If I map another program like Google Now it seems like it works 100%.
How / Where do i get the old version of bxActions to get the functionallity to get shortclick, longclick and doubleclick? I need this .APK... and i dont want to make any Samsung updates. Can someone send me the old .apk? Thanks so much!
So a few days ago Bixby was prompting me to update and I couldn't update for some reason but I checked back today and now it works. I ended up Bixby voice diction when I had my keyboard open and I long presses the bixby button and this showed up. Dug into the settings and found other cool settings and was able to find a few other settings. Does this mean Bixby voice will come out soon? I'm on a T-Mobile Galaxy S8+ right now btw
Here's another setting I found
Another one

Hm, maybe when you're typing, have your keyboard open and then hold the Bixby button until you see something about diction. Make sure you're not using the official Samsung keyboard since that's how I found the settings
Are you in the US?

Weird.. well at this point I can't get the actual Bixby Voice to work. Just wanted to share what I found today since it might be a possible teaser for Bixby voice update coming later this month

Same. But;
I checked version strings, the apks are not new. Something else is adding English support.
We need to wait and get the update I suppose.
What's happening with my phone and that's Bixby? Since Bixby has been updated I'm trying to make my voice recognition settings (where I have to go with the same timbre and intonation) and every time it shows me this:
Also, while I try this, If someone calls me, I pick it up, but I do not hear him? Why?

Is some other app using microphone.
Try restarting your phone.
Or you may have an overlay.

Hi,
I have been experiencing slow notifications on my S8 ever since I bought it, specifically with apps like Twitter and Skype. After research, I tested turning off the app power monitor, but that did not help. Then, I tried disabling the google app and the problem was fixed. However, I do use the google app on a regular basis so I would like to find a different way to fix the problem. I have also tried a phone reset with no results.
Thanks in advanced for any help!

Go really if that works by stopping the google application.
I have it like that, but there are many other things that I lose when I deactivate that function, for example the dictation to google voice, a function that is widely used by me.
I read that Nougat did not pass.
Amazing that there is no solution to this. There is no other solution?
