On my Chinese ROM I have enabled the power button double click to launch camera. This feature I use all the time. However when I double click it launches the camera immediately followed by Smart Card (MIsmartcards). I have been unable to disable this app nor can I uninstall this app.
How can I get rid of this or at least not get it triggered by the power button double click? Thanks in advance.

The power button if pressed twice launches camera but if pressed three times sends an SOS message...
anyway to remap that?
thanks
Three times press doesn't launch SOS message for me, but I also have it turned off in options. Try that?

Can't help you with remapping the button, but I don't use it myself. I just use Nova Launcher and set up gestures so double tap on the screen launches the camera. This only works while unlocked.
I know some people want to be able to launch the camera without unlocking the phone, I'm one of them, but oh well. It looks like the options are quite limited besides turning off the SOS, at least for now.
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.

I want to launch the Google camera app when double pressing the power button. Is that possible?

I was thinking the same thing...
You can use the app 'bxactions' to configure what apps to open when you double click the bixby button. Close enough I guess.
Can i start the camera with the home button?
No, not with stock software.
Double press volume down I think it is activates camera though, even when locked.
Thank you
Camera cannot be activated via volume double clicking when not in lockscreen, is that true ?

Yes that's true
In that case button remapping apps must be a workground
Hi all,
What is the fastest way to start up the camera when the screen is on?
Is there a secret button combination?
You can set camera in side panel shortcuts

I have that already, but it's often a miss as I perform a back gesture instead.
Too bad it isn't possible to program the power button to start an app with a quick double press.

If you turn the screen off then quickly draw a 0 or a zero it will go straight to camera. Quicker than side loading. You might need to set it up in gestures.
Also if you draw a V you can access the flashlight
have you tried taptap on github, simply double tap back of your phone to launch camera while screen on/off or other apps/shortcuts/utilities
Tried it a while ago and more often than not failed. I'll try it again though, thx
