skip a track by double pressing the bixby button? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

is there a way of being able to set a function, like skipping a track, for the double press of the bixby button without the use of xposed or an app like bxactions? I dont like the idea of using xposed when its unstable for nougat. And the app method seems long-winded.

I would like Bixby voice to start listening on a short press

Voice search

Anybody know if there is a way to map long press of the home button to launch voice search?
I'd rather map long press of menu to recent apps.
I'm rooted so I'm hoping there I something out there that can do this.

There are several Xposed modules that can be used to accomplish this is your device is rooted.

How do I assign Google Voice to double clicking the home button?

I disabled S Voice but I can't find a way to launch Google Voice by double clicking the home button. Any ideas?

Anyone know how to remap home key long press?

I am not a big fan of giving Google its own button when I have a google search bar on my home screen and can just say "ok Google"
On my Note 4, I was able to program long press "home" to link to a shortcut - all I had to do was disable s-voice and i was prompted to select an action. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to do this on the S7 Edge.
For what its worth, the app shortcut I run is called "last app switcher" that allows you to toggle back and forth between two apps (very useful for apps that do not support split display). It even ignores the home screen, so you can go App1, home screen, app2 and then use long press home to get back to app1.

Get an app called All in one gestures. It can remap the home button

Only problem is the phone might slow down and get chuggy if you enable any accessibility options.

S voice is dead starting from the galaxy s8. It is (or will be in the very near future) replaced by Bixby that has its own button below the volume keys and doesn't need to use the home button at all.

Once I have the google bar in desktop I see no usage for long press in home button for same function so in my S7 Edge I had S Voice to pull contacts for example.
Never tried Bixby as it's not available in my language.

I get what you're saying. But it is what it is.
As a side note, the home button no longer brings up Google now cards or search, like the search bar on the home screen. Now it's set to call up Google assistant, for what it's worth. I personally use its voice feature only for alarms, reminders and fact searches.

Just downloaded bixby. Should be out for everyone today. See if it scratches your itch. [emoji4]

Bixby is not available in many languages now but out and available to every one, so I think svoice has made its time now it will be more useless as it was until now. Bixby seems very promising and much more complete and advanced as every other voice assistants I think
