So far I don't see a way to disable Bixby. Google Assistant won't work at all when I dload it. Anyone have a work around for this? I have the OS 9 update installed and running the phone on AT&T's network. Using Nova Launcher as well. Feedback would be greatly appreciated.
With "Package Manager" (available on Play store) or ADB comnands (adb shell pm uninstall -k –user 0 name.of.package), disable these packages

Then remap your Bixby button with something like Button Mapper Pro (other alternatives exist on the Play Store too)

Personally the only two Bixby packages I kept enabled are:
They're used by the Camera app for Bixby Vision, and it's quite useful

I did not use any work around or configure
my Bixby button to launch Google Assistant.
Even though, I have a bxActions (Bixby button remapper) installed,
I use the Bixby button for other functions.
I'm also using Nova Launcher (Prime)
Stock, no root.
My Note 9 is on Android Pie.
I know there's a few different ways to
configure Google Assistant .
Anyway i have configured my Home button
(long press ) in Nova Prime Settings, (see screenshot)
Further,
I have (alternatively) enabled
Google Assistant, always on (listening)
So i can call/wake phone from sleep or in any app.
Work fine, no issues.
This always on, setting you can find in the relevant Google settings on device.
Then yes the other ways are with a Bixby
button remapper, which i have tested /tried
in the past, but prefer above.
Note that i have not disabled or freezed
any Bixby functions at all.
I don't have any issues of Bixby interfering.
Good luck.
I use bxactions pro. It's worth purchasing. You can remap the Bixby button to enable your Google assistant. You can remap the volume buttons as well. App is well made and easy to follow. They have the free version which you can try. It might be all you need.

Hi, everyone. There was already a thread like this, but it's locked, and all the links have been removed, so I have to open a new one. I live in China, currently. I'm on the stock rom, unrooted, chinese one, and even though I've done a basic research, I can't succeed to enable this option on my phone. it's miui8.5, nougat 7.1.1, there are no Developer options in my Additional settings (or anywhere, cross my heart), and, as far as the Button Mapper app is concerned, I have no use of that, as I can't add Paypal to my Google play account, because it's registered in China (paypal), I use vpn (in order to be able to approach google at all), so the country of my order differs from the country my Paypal registration (because of vpn servers), and there's always an error, saying that. Of course, if I turn off my vpn, I won't be able to approach to playstore at all. And I need Button Mapper Pro in order to enable this, so that means - inapp purchase, which I can't do. So, my question is - is there another way (other than google play store) to buy Button Mapper Pro with Paypal, or, is there a way to set this without button mapper app (I don't want to root the phone, installed everythng I need on it, works fine in English with google play services)? Thank you
nevermind, I found the solution. thanks anyways, cheers

Split screen comes with MIUI 9, but thanks for sharing the solution with us...
Well, considering that no one ever replied, I thought it was some basic problem and everyone knows how to solve it, which is why no one wanted to bother to reply. That was my conclusion. If still interested, here's how - go to settings, option About phone, find MIUI section, and tap few times on MIUI version, that's how you unlock Developer options in Additional settings. Than, go to Additional Settings, Developer Options, scroll to the option Force activities to be resizable, and switch it ON. After that, go to Google Play Store, download the app Button Mapper, you don't have to pay for Pro, just download the basic one. Install it, and give necessary accessibility to the app (you will be prompted for that). Than go to the app menu, click on Home button, enable Customize option, then scroll down to Long press option, press it, and on it's option choose Split screen. And that's it, The middle button of your phone (3 buttons on the bottom of the screen) will now make the app you're using customizable size, you just enter the app first, than long press that button, go up with your finger without lifting it away from the screen, and that's how you choose the size of the first app on your screen. The second one you open will take the rest of the screen's space

sorry, I tried posting a screenshot of my phone's home screen, to show how that looks like practically, but it doesn't allow me too
Does the splitscreen works the same as in MIUI 9 ? l like the stock factory version which was the v8.5.5.0 but sadly there's no splitscreen support. Updated to the latest v9.2.1.0 but I'm disappointed with the battery life...if the splitscreen works the same as in the MIUI 9, I'm gonna downgrade back to v8.5.5.0 and apply the steps you mentioned above.
I used voice for camera photos a lot more than for Bixby voice wakeup, and googled to find the solution, but it doesn't look like they're is any option anywhere to turn off the Bixby voice wakeup. You would think that something the voice option in camera would bring up a Bixby voice toggle, but nope.
Disabling the system Bixby voice app doesn't even kill Bixby voice.. the only thing that does is uninstalling the Bixby update, but of course the Shop Samsung app then just wants to update it again anyway.

well worth the couple dollars....i have everything bixby related disabled
The link is broken. Any other way to get the app?
If you're rooted you can use Titanium Backup to freeze all Bixby modules.
Adhell 3 can easily block any package plus it has the added benefit of system wide ad-blocking. Use this guide to setup: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/adhell-3-1-assistance-t3873831 (its post 3 or 4 I think that has the instructions). Enjoy! Its a bit of a pain to setup but works beautifully after its all done.
Or simply use adb command(s). Listed under Bixby

Recently I found how to disable search function on home screen on my Mate 10 Pro.
Search function is called when you scroll on empty area on home screen and the search activity is launched when using default launcher or Huawei Home,
this function if sometimes accidentally launched when I try to drag status bar window down. its quite annoying.
1. you need rooted phone.
2. use MyAndroidTools app. (search for apk, like here https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/wangqi/my-android-tools/)
3. go to services, find on system apps, HiSearch system app.
4. service to disable is called LauncherOverlayService. (screenshot attached)
5. search function is gone, of course you can still launch it from camera if you are on Android Pie.

You don't need a rooted device, I uninstalled the HiSearch app trough an ADB command .

Hi everyone! With Android 9.0 and latest Bixby button, now you can natively remap Bixby button to do many things, BixBye adds a bit more to these 'many things':
* Launch Google Assistant
* Launch an App
* Power Dialog
* Recents
* Home
* Toggle Flashlight
* Back
* Lock Screen
* Open Notification
* Quick Settings
* Take Screenshot
* Toggle Split Screen
More:
* Nothing - to prevent accidental Key Press.
* Powerful Tasker Plugin - lets you perform any type of complex task using Tasker.
Download from Google Play Store. (Please don't forget to leave a review at Google Play Store!)
As it goes without saying, the App is experimental and is in Beta Stage, things may not work as you expect to. However, your feedback will definitely help me improve the App. I don't own a Galaxy Device, any screenshot/video will be much appreciated.
NOTE 1: You must open and configure/setup Bixby to launch 'BixBye Actions' App upon Bixby key press.
NOTE 2:If you face any issues/warnings with Secure Startup when you enable BixBye's Accessibility Service, please note that it's an Android bug. Just disable Secure Startup temporarily, enable BixBye's Accessibility Service and then finally re-enable Secure Startup for everything to work in harmony.

It would be nice a turn off location
This works good on at&t note 8 android 9. Is there a way to remap long press? Long press still opens Bixby voice while single press opens Google assistant.

May be in a future version, for now, you can make it happen with the Tasker Plugin, if you really need.

There is not a smooth way to do that, so skipped in this version.
Uploaded, BETA_2_ANDROID_9.0+ fixes crash when navigating to Accessibility Settings.
Hey there,
is there a way, to remove the behavior that a long press on the power-button first starts the google assistant instead of getting directly to the "power menu"? I've tried to disable it in the settings which gives me then the option to activate the assistant and unless we gain root, i assume all the bloatware can't be uninstalled
Would another Launcher (https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/app-xperia-home-10-0-0-40-t3369220) fix it?
Edit:
In the System Settings under "Intelligent Support" (or something like that) there you have "Shortcuts and gestures" there you can disable this behaviour.
Best regards

You're welcome! Unfortunately you have to press the Power Button really long until the Power-Menu is seen... but this is a first world problem But atleast the Google Assistant isn't nagging around...
Anyone know of a way to remap this functionality? Eg, get holding power button to open the camera instead? I know there's the double-tap volume down shortcut, but that only works when the screen is locked and if no media is playing.
Yes, You can customize Volume button on long press behavior for example with button mapper app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton . I'm using this app to remap Netflix button on my Android powered TV's remote control and here on P30 Pro to launch camera app.

On the subject of Google Assistant, can anyone confirm this bug on their device?
Place phone in airplane mode, 'accidentally' activate Google Assistant, screen will stay on forever. I noticed this as I often leave my phone face down and plugged in on the side (it's my second device) and I came down one morning to find the screen lit. I'd obviously activated assistant by catching the power button. Luckily I don't seem to have any screen burn.
No Launchers do not change power button settings
