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.

Title says it all, i'm on stock. In the Buttons screen there are options to change long and double press of each hardware button, but not single press. I can change single press action of the home button with nova launcher, i'd like to change single press action of the left capacitive button so it acts as a regular menu button.
Try flar2's Button Mapper app.
All I want is long press on back-hardware key to kill the current app which we can usually find in developer settings. Is it a Nugent thing or stock OOS disable this feature?
I'm coming from a galaxy s3 running CM from about 4 years ago and even then it had simple things like this, i could hold back to kill and also use volume controls to skip track when screen is off, etc. Can't do any of that on this new phone, really frustrating. To remap back and recent apps button using that app you need to upgrade to the pro version
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.

Hi, just a quick question.
I know there are a few apps to disable Bixby (bxAction, Custom Bixby Button).
However, is there any way to remap the Bixby button to other actions etc. open Camera.... and not disable the Bixby features?
What I mean is only disable the hardkey press and not 100% disable the Bixby including the Voice wake-up features.
Thanks and best regards.

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.

That looks set to change, as Samsung listens to user feedback and allows the Bixby button to be deactivated when the Note 9 is showing the Lock screen. Abhijeet Mishra reports for SamMobile:
In a reply to someone complaining about the Bixby button on Twitter, Samsung Germany says “deactivation of the Bixby button on lock screen should return until end of September.” Now, it’s unclear why it mentions the lock screen, but we’re guessing that’s just a minor mistake and the option will let users completely disable the Bixby button.
