How to disable/uninstall Bixby without root access

Ever since Samsung announced the Galaxy S8 with its onboard assistant, Bixby, people have been asking for ways to disable it and forget the button ever existed in the first place. With the Galaxy S9 and Note 9, that chorus became even louder, and with the Galaxy S10 now available, a whole new generation of customers will be looking to disable Bixby.

Why do you want to disable Bixby?

One of the biggest frustrations with the Bixby button is its placement; the button is right under the volume keys and nearly directly opposite the power buttons. On larger phones like the Galaxy S9+ and Note 8, this often leads to accidental presses and unintended Bixby launches, especially when double-pressing the power button to launch the camera.

The Bixby button is also not mappable to another action; Samsung wants you to use it for Bixby, or not at all. This isn't ideal, so many people will inevitably choose to just forget it exists and move on.

	// Go to https://www.reddit.com/user/<username>/ and paste into your console.
	// Reddit throttles these actions, hence the 1s timer.
	let interval = setInterval(() => {
	let deleteButtons = $('a.togglebutton[data-event-action="delete"]');
	if (deleteButtons.length === 0) {
	clearInterval(interval);
	if ($('.next-button > a')[0]) {
	$('.next-button > a')[0].click();
	alert('Restart script.');

	unset args[0]

	if [ -z "$path" ]

	#!/bin/bash

	usage="$(basename "$0") [-h] [-w d e] -- script para executar um comando via docker exec -it

	where:
	-w diretório no container onde o comando será executado
	-d nome do container, obtido via \$ docker ps
	-e comando a ser executado. Caso o comando conter espaços deve estar envolto de aspas

	exemplo de uso:

	echo "Adding apt-repositories, update apt libraries and installing apt-fast.\n"
	add-apt-repository -y ppa:apt-fast/stable && add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php && add-apt-repository -y ppa:serge-rider/dbeaver-ce && apt update && apt -y install apt-fast apt-transport-https wget apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg-agent software-properties-common net-tools

	echo "\nUpdating Packages\n"
	apt-fast upgrade -y

	echo "\nInstalling Apache2, PHP, Memcached, Git, Dbeaver, Python 3\n"
	apt-fast install -y apache2 php7.3 php7.3-cli php7.3-xml php7.3-curl php7.3-gd php7.3-zip php7.3-mbstring php7.3-common php7.3-dev php7.3-pgsql php-memcached memcached git dbeaver-ce python3

	echo "\nInstalling Composer\n"

	# São utilizadas dois bins para definir destino e parâmetros de compilação: /usr/bin/php-config e /usr/bin/phpize.
	# Considerando que php7.1-dev e php7.2-dev estejam instalados, para confirmar que irá ser compilado para PHP 7.1:
	# considerando que ppa:ondrej esteja instalado:

	$ sudo apt install php7.1-dev php7.2-dev
	$ sudo update-alternatives --set php-config /usr/bin/php-config7.1
	$ sudo update-alternatives --set phpize /usr/bin/phpize7.1

	$ sudo php-config
	$ sudo phpize -v

	Na 10, aonde ficam os repositórios, para os projetos que envolvem Santa Catarina foi adicionada a configuração de atualização automática do repositório depois de cada push. A configuração fica no diretório respectivo, em `/Development/repos/<diretorio>.git/hooks`. O arquivo se chama `post-receive`. Caso nunca tenha sido alterada a configuração, o arquivo vai se chamar `post-receive.sample`. Caso seja preciso configurar:

	* Acessa o diretório do repositório na 10 via terminal. Ex: `$ cd /Development/repos/SadeApplicationPMSC.git`
	* Acessa o diretório `hooks`
	* `$ mv post-receive.sample post-receive`
	* `$ vim post-receive`
	* Na próxima linha abaixo dos comentários cola a linha alterando o nome do repositório corretamente: `cd /Development/repos/SadeApplicationPMSC.git && git update-server-info`
	* `:wq`

	Após o próximo push, quando for necessário realizar pull em ambiente que clonou via HTTP não será mais necessário previamente acessar a 10 e atualizar o repositório via `git update-server-info`.

	If you already have php installed (from repository for example), you can compile only the PDO_OCI from PHP source (you need the instantclient installed)

	Download the PHP source with same version that you have installed;
	Unzip;
	Change to directory php-YOUR-VERSION/ext/pdo_oci
	Inside the pdo_oci folder, run these commands:

	$ git clone https://github.com/php/php-src.git
	$ cd php-src

	// on Vagrantfile:

	config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", type: "virtualbox"

	// then:

	vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
