I've search the Note 8 forums, found similar but not specific to root. I'm wondering now that we have root can we replace the double tap home quick launch Samsung camera with a different app, specifically the ported gcam with HDR auto. Also wondering if it can be set to work with the screen locked like the built in camera. Perhaps an app exists and I'm just not finding it.
I have put the camera as my lockscreen shortcut but it still requires unlock to run. Coming from the Pixel, I find the gcam app to get me images much more similar to Pixels quality vs what comes out of Samsung's camera.
You dont even need root, you can use one of the various ways to remap bxby. Personally I have my bixby button remapped to 1 click is camera, double click is google now, and longpress is torch. works with screen off too, so its very handy. I did this with BK Disabler to disable bixby and bxActions to remap the button. Note: you can leave bixby enabled if you so choose and yuou can still have one click be bixby as normal if you like, then double tap camera. - EDIT : I just saw you wanted a different app, while I have mine set as default camera, I would assume there are already routes to use others as well.
I think the OP is asking if it's possible to remap the camera shortcut. OP stated double tap home for camera but that's how it was on my Note 5. On the Note 8 the double tap camera shortcut is the power button. I don't think there is a way to remap that with an app, not that I have seen anyway. I believe that shortcut is a part of the actual camera app.

Ok so I kept hearing that the text to speech on Samsung Messages you could turn off the Hide Offensive Words but the problem would return when using the Bixby key to Dictate.
Here's the solution:
Ok so to remove it fully in Bixby there's a secret (not so secret but tricky to get to menu). You have to hold the Bixby button down while in a text message (to dictate your message) while this voice recognition screen is up (while still holding the Bixby button in) hit the On-Screen gear button.
This takes you to Bixby's actual hidden dictation menu with IT'S OWN "Hide Offensive Words" option you have to turn off.
Don't hate me for liking Bixby, but I find it useful for some things., or at least I used to. On my GS9, while composing a message, I was able to hold the Bixby button and it would dictate my speech to text. The Note 9 seems to be missing this option, or I am simply overlooking it. Sure, I can just click the microphone button on the bottom of the keyboard, but I like pressing the button.
From what I can tell, you are supposed to open Bixby Home and enable it in the settings menu. The menu option exists on my wife's Note 8 but not on my Note 9.
Is this the "new" Bixby? Is it still an unfinished product? I thought Bixby 2.0 was supposed to add features, not take away.
I am giving Bixby a try too. I just literally set it up a few minutes ago. Disabling my BxAction temporarily.
So I just got one UI on my Canadian note 8, I was using the us beta before. I noticed, I can set the bixby button double tap to wake bixby, but I couldn't find the setting to let me do other actions on one tap of the bixby button, anyone have any idea where to look for? Because in pie beta, it was in the advanced features.
Thanks alot.
Hi. I used "go to main screen voice command", but there is 3 sec delay with Blue blob at the top. Can I make Bixby button go directly to home screen without any delay and blobs? I used to use Bixby button remapper but i'm trying to use phone tools if I can.
