Description

BixBack uses the READ_LOGS permission to detect the moment the Bixby key is pressed. The application is the perfect balance of performance, without sacrificing battery or CPU. The application is so lightweight that it does not even have an a launcher icon.

This service has the only purpose for scanning for Bixby, and pressing the "back" key on any activity. For this to work, you must grant permissions via ADB. The command is as follows:

adb shell pm grant com.draco.bixback android.permission.READ_LOGS

Then kill the app from settings (or reboot) and enable the accessibility service. Next, turn off the Bixby page on press in the Bixby settings. Bixby voice is optional to turn off.

Please email me for support, as I realize this may not be the easiest setup.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

1 ★what the heck is ADB? How to add that custom accessibility command? Your instructions could be much clearer.
2 ★Limited options so not for me but I'm sure others will be pleased with it.
5 ★It's very useful considering the bezel less design of the S8, some things are just hard to reach.
1 ★no screenshot
1 ★YOU CAN'T ASSIGN ANY APP YOU WANT BUT HAVE ONLY A LIMITED OPTION.
4 ★Initial setup a bit more involved than normal, but functionality worth it.Would like to be able to set a custom function as I didnt see "open Camera"or camera shutter or anything like that, and that's the main thing I needthe Bixby button to do. Will reinstall if options are expanded though. :)
2 ★Can you allow us to assign the bixby button to become the new power buttonplease?
