Hi guys,
First of all, i hate the iphone, but there's one thing i admire - the ability to open the camera without unlocking the phone (when a pattern/pin lock is present). I would like this ability within the S3... (rooted obviously)
I know about widget locker, but I don't believe this will allow camera access still without unlocking??
Lots of very capable devs on the S3, was wondering if its a possible mod to create?
Thanks
hello, I also would like it.
Coming from iphone too.
I saw a CyanogenMod 10.1 on a galaxy S2 that allows this. Hope ^^
Go to settings - security and lockscreen - lock screen options - turn on camera quick access..
Rotate the device in lockscreen while touching the screen to launch camera
Hope it helps...

This doesn't allow you to open the camera app without unlocking the phone first. If it did, would be awesome!! Love that motion
Then put shortcut of camera app in lock screen.. Then u wont be unlocking the phone but u will go straight to the camera

Nope this takes me straight to the pattern lock that i must enter, then after i unlock it will open the camera app..
same request here.
the method coming closest to the desired behaviour so far was possible on my previous android phone while using MIUI. there, an application based lock is implemented in the system (not through an additional app). MIUI is currently not an option for me, though, for other reasons.
i prefer my APEX/Raubkatze modified stock ROM.
cheers,

I'm running CM 10.1 and this is definitely possible because I use this feature all the time. When my screen is locked I slide from the right to access the camera. I do not need to put in my pin.
You can add pages or change what they are in the lock screen by first locking your device, then when you see the keypad simply swipe it away. When its moved down just tap and hold an empty space and add a page. Put the camera on one of those pages and its done - use the camera app without unlock.

So what can I do to replace my lockscreen? I'd like something like WhisperCore which forces me to wipe away my fingerprints in order to unlock so that others can't unlock my phone by looking at the smudges. Is there anything like that out there?
I'll just leave this humongous thread here:

Wow that is a hell of a lot of lockscreens but I'm looking for a specific feature which they all seem to lack. With whispercore (for the nexus) you have a feature called sumdge-resistant screen unlock patterns. So you draw out your pattern as normal but instead of simply unlocking you are brought to another screen with stars all over the screen. You wipe your finger up and down the screen to highlight the stars. Once they are all highlighted your phone unlocks and you've successfully wiped away your the smudges from your pattern. Honestly if I'm not forced to do this then I'll probably forget.

Anyone know of a lockscreen or widget that will allow me to control my Google Music app without having to slide unlock the phone. I see that the photon allows you to do this with the stock music app but not with the Google music app. Much thanks.

Agile lockscreen lets you select the music app to use as lockscreen control
I'm a fan of no lock.

Widget locker does that, and more its what I choice to use
has anyone explained yet how to replace the lock screen via root to the aosp rotary one? I am interested in completely replacing the blur lockscreen
Using Widgetlocker and the darn stock Motorola lockscreen keeps popping up from time to time. Anyone know how to disable it or freeze it in TB to keep it from coming up? Very annoying to have 2 lock screens to mess with.
what i mean is get to camera without haveing to unlock youre phone and hit the camera icon? thanks
I don't think so unless you are using a custom rom and even then it may be a long shot I haven't ever seen it or tried it on my htc evo I managed to add app to the pull down unlocker but never on the atrix! But I'm sure you can if you want to bad enough good luck!

You can use lockerbot and place a shortcut to the camera on your lockscreen.
On the iPhone I used Snappy to launch the camera from any screen, including when the phone was locked. I would love to see something similar on the Sensation. Sometimes you need to take a quick snap when unlocking and finding the camera app takes a couple of seconds too long
Edit: Stupid new-thread-title-searching - this was meant to be in the Sensation section!
WidgetLocker is another great lock screen replacement that allows for shortcuts to be on the lock screen

Can't find a reference to "lockerbot" on Google search - got a link?
I use the Screen Off and Lock app to turn off the screen without fumbling for the power button. For some reason it doesn't work properly on the S3 - it turns off the screen briefly but then the screen turns itself back on.
Does anyone know of a homescreen widget or app which will turn off the S3 screen?
I also install it, on my device its set the screen off, then it came back for a second and then off.

Yes, that's exactly what it's doing on mine now.
Unfortunately, it will only work properly if the lock screen security > none
Tested with Swype, face and pin. Obviously the screen security prevents it from staying off.

That's exactly how my settings are - the screen still switches itself on again momentarily after tapping then Screen Off and Lock app. I've now tried a couple of the other free "screen off" apps and widgets and they do exactly the same thing, so maybe there's some sort of issue with an API in the S3?

In the menu I posted, select "none", then it will screen off properly. The app (and others) obviously have issue with TW lockscreen with any setting other than "none".

Why not? Read my previous posts.
With lock set to "none", the app works properly, with any type of lock, the screen will flicker from off to lockscreen on.
This proves the app is not totally compatible with SGS3 TW lockscreen.

Maybe im just stupid but i am using widget lock for my home screen customization and i am trying to not have the original lock screen with my security. So my widget lock screen will show up then i swipe and my samsung beans rom 5 standard homescreen with pin is their. Its like you have two homescreens this is retarded and i see no way to fix this? Am i retarded i know this has been problem in past but i cant find no recent chat about the issue?
thank you
Try going to your lock screen settings and changing your lock to swipe.

Or set the lockscreen style in system settings to "none" even.

Right.
Go to settings>screen lock and set screen lock to none.
But I want there to be some type of security to get into phone. Or is this not possible

If you disable the lock screen in settings and then use the widget lock, i think you will just have one lock screen.

But there is no security like pin or pattern in widget locker right. So then I have no securoty

Is there any way to start the camera app from the lock screen? Whenever I use the camera icon and swipe it over, it prompts me to enter my PIN number.
I just want to be able to take photos, without unlocking, iPhone style.

Thank you, but it did not work. First I must unlock Touchwiz lock, and then unlock Holo Locker lock. Very useless.

What phone do you have? You can find a ROM that will allow for this.. I have an SGS on CM10 and it lets me do this but you can try the Widgetlocker app nevertheless.

Hi,
On Android devices if you lock screen is protected by a password it is impossible to launch the native camera when locked.
The only way I've found to quickly have access to the camera without unlocking the phone was to develop a simple camera app to which I've given the authorisation to be shown when locked.
This app is availble on the google play here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aeropic.CameraUnlockFree
I know it is not perfect but it does the job
