I just got the Galaxy S8 Plus and there is an option to unlock to home screen using home button.
"a feature that skips the lock screen after a hard press on the home button.
Settings > Display > Navigation bar. Enable Unlock with Home button."
I'd like to set Tasker to enable this feature when connected to my WiFi Network "SSID", and disable when disconnected. I've setup up the State, but I can't figure out the path for the task. Does anyone have some ideas?

Does this cause any screen flickering or glitches when pressing the Bixby button or is it seamless?
This doesn't work because when pressing the button. Bixby pops up

Working great, both lockscreen and unlocked settings work great.
what do you mean b "PC" activation?
Won't do the PC part. I have Samsung drivers installed.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Is Usb debugging enabled on your phone?
I got the mode activated, but adhell reports that it isn't supported on the note 8, so I can't disable bixby. Honestly, I wanted to keep single press bixby, and add double press facebook launch, and long press screenshot. Any way to do that without having to disable bixby?
I followed all instructions....USB debugging is enabled. I was able to do the second part of the instructions by disabling Bixby Home. But the PC command prompt says USB debugging is not enabled. But it's checked. I rebooted the phone and tried again, still no good.
Any assistance will be appreciated.
Do you have samsung usb drivers installed?
You can try to install Samsung smart switch and reboot pc.
Does it help?
What were the exact ADB commands to disable bixby?
Installed smart switch. Phone is recognized by the computer. It has to be for me to even run your PC command program.
Thanks the help.
whats the pc activation ap? I can do the adb portion but somewhat confused about the PC app part.
The application instruction ector phone and navigate through your PC into the phone and run a command application from the phone on your PC. This application is supposed to change some permissions, I guess, to allow the application to do what it advertises it can do.
Anybody get this working? I was able to get my phone recognized with the Samsung drivers, but ADB command doesn't work, thinks that the USB debugging isn't on even though it is. I also installed the Smart Switch software, but the behavior was the same.
Was anyone able to run the activation.exe and use the control mode?
Maybe samsung blocks bxActions in Note 8 firmware. Dont have an S8 to test this.

It's like when you click the bixby button.. The small icon comes up. All adb commands are ok. But the . exe file doesn't execute.

Please see bxActions help on how to disable bixby speech input
cant get the pc .exe command to work or even appear. adb Is fine
I dont like the default [Vol Down] + [Power] to trigger screenshot but cant seem to find a way to turn this off. Is there an easy way to do this and for that matter control functions of all hw buttons that doesnt involve ROOT or another launcher ?? (Knuckle for screenshot is great btw !). Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I'm constantly making screenshots too.
Hi, just a quick question.
I know there are a few apps to disable Bixby (bxAction, Custom Bixby Button).
However, is there any way to remap the Bixby button to other actions etc. open Camera.... and not disable the Bixby features?
What I mean is only disable the hardkey press and not 100% disable the Bixby including the Voice wake-up features.
Thanks and best regards.

Hi guys,
First of all, I do not use Gestures and its not activated. So please don't tell me you can do a V on lockscreen, I know already.
I used to have crDroid on my previous OP3T device. You could activate the flashlight on long press of the power button when the screen was off.
Is there any way of adding such a feature to OxygenOS? The device is rooted if it can help. Maybe an available package on F-Droid would allow such customization?
Alternatively, maybe a lockscreen shortcut button on bottom left along with the camera button?
Any way to quickly activate the flashlight with minimal handling of the phone/screen.
Thx
i am looking for built in feature too, but you can use this for now :

tested it: seems accessibility is off for this app for security reasons.
