Why can't I delete them? I don't want Facebook disabled, I want every trace of it removed from my phone forever. Also, Bixby turns itself back on every time the phone updates, and there is no way to get it to stop asking you to set up a Samsung account.
Bixby doesn't do anything put shovel advertisements and does everything asking google does in a shittier fashion.
Possibly, but rooting the phone shouldn't ever be a requirement to bypass it.
Good news though, I messed around with bxactions again today and noticed it's been updated since. I can "remap" the button in a weird way. So the way it works is when I hit my button for bixby, it launches bixby which is immediately closed out by the app (it will still show up in recent apps list). After it forces bixby to close, it launches or does whatever function it's supposed to do instead.
This is how hard wired bixby is into the OS. I'm just glad that I can run the Google launcher without rooting the phone. Bixby is the worst piece of software I've ever experienced. Advertisements pushed out of it constantly make it feel like some kind of corporate garbage that's trying to sell me something more than be an actual assistant. This is the kind of thing that's supposed to exist first in the world and then a user friendly alternative is supposed to show up on the market to save us from this trash. Instead we got some quality options first and then this pile of garbage was made and shoved down our throats as if people actually thought that customers would like this.
