Miss having the menu key..example go to xda app and cannot pull up other options because of this ridficulous hardkey when alternatives exist for task switching. This will need remapping..have seen it done for camera and power but wondered if there is any interest in this. I do I not have a solution but am asking. Thanks.
All you have to do is long press that button and becomes menu

remapped it in case anyone is interested
think long press goes to S finder
Good work, but long press is menu, I use it all the time.

I used xposed additions module to remap it. Also mapped the volume keys, home and power buttons to change music, play/pause and activate torch respectively while I was at it.
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.

Currently i have mapped single click bixby button to shortcutter quick settings app ( side bar) ( photo attached) which is very handy to use frequent apps. Long press bixby button mapped to open camera.
If i could get any solution to map the Edge Panel then it would be awesome as i would remove shortcutter app
As the title says, with Note9 new Bexby 2, there is no option to disable the button as in the s9 or before.
Am i missing something here, or did samsung remove this option to force us to use Bexby again?
I couldn't find the disable option as well..

you can completely remove Bixby or remap with other app (using 3rd party)
No root is required to remove Bixby (using package disabler pro will solve your problem)

Can you confirm an app working with the new Bexby on note9. Not sure about it, as i remember reading that its different with note9 and 3rd party apps are not working
you can still disable it if 3rd party if not working
but it will work if you do it from ADB terminal by giving app special permission to gain access to remap the button

You guys r using a retail unit... ARE YOU? I've been using a review unit and there's no way to turn the Bixby Button into a totally redundant button. If you are using a retail one and there's no option to kill it, then that's a pain right ? there.... ##@@

If so, then I hate to see that. I wish when I get a retail unit, I can disable it. If Not, that'll be an example of another "Forced adoption" by Samsung.

Ofcourse, with adb commands its executions can be removed, so that they cannot run , or using a package disabler it would be squeezed at it's neck.
Here we are talking about default settings/options that apparently do not exist and are present in S9/S9+ and that's a fact... For now.

In S9/S9+, you can toggle Bixby voice Off, set Bixby Key to "don't open anything", toggle the Bixby key
in the Bixby homescreen itself to not open the Bixby home screen, remove(toggle) the Bixby homescreen itself and you will be left with the Bixby hardware button that does nothing at all.
That's not the same case with the Note 9. Not only the layout is different, but also there's no option to prevent the Bixby button from launching. Here I'm talking about the Note 9 with August OTA update that I've been using. Retail units may have options to disable it completely but I'll not be surprised if Samsung don't include that.

Exactly what i mean with my OP..
You have to experience and see the new Bixby first hand to get it..

Can we disable bixy to make it something like a power button?
Samsung rolled out the update to natively remap Bixby's button. I cannot figure out how to get it open the Google Assistant as if I pressed and held the home button.
So far I've tried setting a tap of the Bixby button to :
Launch the Google app but that opens Google with the standard search bar focused for keyboard input.
Installed the Google Assistant app. The icon now shows on my launcher (Nova) but doesn't show in the app selection screen in the Bixby remap area.
Restarted my phone to try and get the Google Assistant icon to show up in the remap area.
I'm probably missing something real simple. Any ideas?

I'm trying to do the same thing. The assistant app does not show on the list of apps that can be hard with the Bixby button.
Maybe Samsung is blocking that app from being used.
This would be sweet, following.
There's an app bxactions it let me remap mine one click and Camera long press Google Ass, volume buttons to.
This is on oreo 8.1.0 se9.5 and you need to use adb for full options

It uses accessibility services which are known to add lag. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hOyBrZqy3N21uoy9nVmbK1i_zyPnIXbs/view You can use this google asssistant shortcut apk shared on reddit to toggle via built-in bixby settings.

Well that was timely! I read the first article about the feature before I posted. I thought maybe it was just my phone.

That's pretty crappy of Samsung -- They have to know Bixby sucks - they let you remap the button but cripple it so we cannot use it the way most would want to.

This worked perfectly. Thank you!!
Spoke too soon. It doesn't support "What's on my screen." So it's missing some sort of functionality somehow.

Yeah bxactions developer implemented it somehow. It is different when you say ok google and when you click its shortcut or widget. You probably dont have screenshot option either. With gestures swiping and holding home is simpler to me and I remapped my bixby key to gcam. Hope you find a workaround though
