Bixby BxAction App with Flash Light Remap

[Targatheory]

I currently have BxActions set up to use the Bixby button as the stock Flashlight.
1.) Any one else notice lag?
2.) And does any one know of a way to make it equal the same brightness level as what is set as standard on the stock Flashlight app? For example, if I use the Nav Bar drop down menu to activate the Flashlight, it activates at Level 1 the lowest which I like. But if I use the Bixby button remap, it goes full brightness.
3.) Also, I think most importantly, is there anyway to make the Bixby button remap work from the lock screen? Here's my absolute goal: Hit Home or Power button, hit Bixby button, Flashlight comes on. The way it is now, the phone needs to be unlocked first via Pattern, Fingerprint or Iris and THEN you can use the Bixby button remap. This would be great time savings, you know how it is in the real world when you just want instant light with a damn on/off switch...I always get a "Bixby not yet set up. To use Bixby, unlock phone, then press Bixby key again to start setup" when I try to activate from Lock Screen. BxActions is "supposed" to be able to allow the remap to work from Lock Screen, there is a setting for it, but it doesn't work for me...

Targa, here's my current implementation for turning on the flashlight quickly at full brightness. Without looking at the screen. It doesn't use the Bixby button, but IMO that will probably be buggy at some point with any workable way of doing it. This will always work.

Go to post number 17. Let me know if you have any questions.

IMHO anytime you are using a hack or work around, it isn't going to be perfect. It wasn't designed for that. There is a lag when using the button for bixby so I would think there would be a lady for any work around you are using it for.

The problem with bixby remaps is the way they work.

1. You press bixby button.
2. Bixby starts to load.
3. Bixby remap app detects the bixby load.
4. Bixby remap app closes bixby.
5. Bixby remap app launches other app.

There is a lot of processing going on in a short time frame. 3 applications are launching. That is what causes the lag.

Ya, I was very excited when I found out that BxActions didn't show the visible "on screen" lag that the earlier (around launch date April 21st) did. I guess I've always been aware that Bixby still attempted to load, but because I never saw the actual Bixby screen spawn and die in 1/2 a second, I was too overjoyed. Guess it's still a problem.

TheyCallMeBT, I'm downloading it now. I'll test back, thanks.

Also, I notice that when you remap to google assistant you have to tap on screen to activate the mic instead of automatically listening upon clicking the button.
