SOLVED: I edit the Generic.kl file
You basically just change WINK from key 703 to MEDIA_NEXT
I have a rooted S8 with Ambasadii Rom installed, fully removed Bibxy, so the bixby button does nothing.
Is there a way to remap that button so it skips to next song and goes back if you double tap it?

What do you mean?? Yes you can skip to next song. Obviously you didn't open your eyes wide enough

My bad i meant something else and typed something else,
I think it doesnt work because i dont have bixby at all , disabled it with ambasadii Rom
And i can't connect to the pc at the moment
Just connected it and ran the adb commands and all went great. But the button doesn't work,
theres a popup saying i need BixbyVoice Enabled .. I dont have anything Bixby-related as i said before :/

Hi, I want to unlock my device with search button so i edited the /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
its like that;
key 217 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
key 127 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
It is perfectly locks the screen but it doesnt unlock. I tried lots of settings but i couldnt done. What should i do? What should i change?
I'm not much into this stuff, but shouldn't the key code be the same in both lines ?
I've removed the dropped from both of the lines and now I can unlock the device. But I can't lock the device
There could be a code on Spare Parts that changes the function of the detach button or something related to CM settings.
Can anybody try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464

One is for not sleeping mod and the other one is for sleeping mod i think. Both of them was the search button in default so i did it that way.

Sorry for weak English.
I've changed 'key 217' from SEARCH to POWER but it doesn't really behave as a POWER button after locking the screen.

I think there is a problem with search button function after locking the screen. I found that when im listening music then i lock the screen with search button and wait for 5-10 secs. then press the search button and the phone wakes up. So search button doesn't work properly when the phone is locked. So what we should do now?

The power button enables the device to sleep and to access the power menu (like reboot, power off, etc.). The method that is showed here of modifying other buttons to a power button only applies within the Android system.
Does anyone know how to lock the screen using the search button????

Currently we are capable of locking the device but the unlocking has a significant glitch or error.

MANUALLY:
On a root exploring app, go to '/system/usr/keylayout/'. Then find the file 'qwerty.kl' and then open it with a text editor. You'll see there are lots of information on it. Find the line that contains:
Code:
key 217 SEARCH
Change the SEARCH to POWER and then save the file.
Restart your phone and then done!
AUTOMATIC:
Install 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=467998&d=1292740886 (Credits to appelflap)
OR copy the 'qwerty.kl' file inside this to '/system/keylayout/usr'.
On the note 2, you can turn any app into a folder (ie: angry birds into a game folder), by hold, drag, drop into a folder category.
I've tried several methods and searched the topic, but can't find anything for the G2 - is it even possible?

when you're on the menu click "options sign" on the upper right, then you'll see the apps are ready to uninstall, replace or be in a folder with other ones. After that hold which app and drag it onto another thats it

Which menu are you referring to?
I've checked everything I can think of, and can't find 'options sign' anywhere.

i think you just pick and hold one icon and drop it onto another and it should create a folder... at least thats how it is on most launhcers.

Sory for broken english, i meant main menu. When you are in home screen press menu button thats where i meant. Options sign is the wheel that places on top of the menu

On the stock launcher just grab an app and while holding your finger down just hover it over another and a folder magically appears and it even gives you the option to name it. Its really just that easy.

Slightly wet the button area, now the home button keeps triggering non stop. Everything else works fine.
Ive tried the following solutionsb
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/guide-oneplus-2-home-button-dead-t3324321
Phone is currently sitting in a bag of rice so let's see how that goes.
Meanwhile, can anybody think of a way to disable the home button (perhaps through terminal or something)? Because the phone would basically be usable.. I know there are button settings, so if only I could somehow put home button as "no action".

The thing is the constant pressing of home button makes me not able to navigate anywhere.
The only place I can actually do something is in recovery, because the home button doesn't actually do anything.
If there's a way I can enable it in terminal in recovery mode that would be great.

Hope the moisture dries out and your fingerprint reader starts working normally
Tip of advice for everyone who has problems with the fingerprint reader after it got wet or started to get crazy for any weird reasons at all.
Drain the phone battery until it dies. Then try to boot it up to drain even the last power in it.
Then recharge the phone.
By draining the battery and recharghing it you reset the phone's sensors.
Be lucky some of you aren't living in a country like me where the weather is moist all the time. I had to do this method thrice this week ??

Is there a way to use bk disabler and disable Bixby completely while still retaining the use of the button? Whenever I disabled Bixby with bk the button stopped writing all together.
Yes, you can edit a file to write a specific function to the button. The possibilities are rather limited though.
What would you like to do with the button?

Just make it where the camera pops up with the button. Which file do I need to edit? Is this a thing you need to have root for?

Why would I want that? That's kinda useless when we have a toggle tile for that.
Both not possible AFAIK. I think it's limited to GA and the other hardware buttons... I'll search for the thread and post it here in a few minutes...

Has anyone received the update?
I just updated my unlocked S8 plus. Once Bixby updated I got the settings symbol and it gave me the option to turn off the button. This is great.

Bixby Home version 2.0.03.3.
I installed the apk, saw the option from the pull down and after enabling it, it disappeared. Not in the settings either and although I selected to disable it,it isn't working.

go to bixby home and press the settings logo on top right the option to disable the button will show up directly , dont go into bixby settings just press the settings logo in bixby home
Still wakes te phone accidentally when I pull it off my pocket. Well, it's half fixed at least, but I see Samsung's point: why would we need a button there which does nothing. .
I've had it disabled completely (pressing button does nothing, ever) since June. Just use BK package disabler (no root required) to disable ALL bixby related apps.
