I have this Xperia Z with 4.3, which has a feature built into the lockscreen that allows me to quickly start the camera. I have a dislike for the stock sony camera app but when lauching it thu the lockscreen it disregards the pattern lock, etc.
If I remove/freeze the stock camera and try to launch camera from lockscreen, it starts any alternative camera I have installed (doesnt ask me which to start) but it cannot unlock the phone. It asks for the pattern to be entered, only if I just leave the "swipe" lock enabled, it can skip the lockscreen.
Is there a way to replace this default camera app on the lockscreen to work fully, i.e. automatically unlock the phone, but with limited features enabled (no gallery etc).

I have issues with the lockscreen of QQ Launcher. I disabled the stock lockscreen in CM7, and have that one enabled, but whenever I unlock it, it seems to almost always go to either the messaging app, or the camera app, usually the camera app.
is it possible to have shortcuts with the Pattern unlock lock screen?
I would like to have shortcurts to the Camera and Dialer while still have security provided with a Pattern unlock.
Is this possible with a completely stock (no rooting no anything) S III on Verizon?
Or do I need to install one of those lock screen apps? I'd prefer to remain completely stock for now if possible..

If you had shortcuts of any kind, that would kill the security.........
I wish Google would implement their Touch Gesture Actions From A Device’s Lock Screen idea asap... providing shortcut functionality without sacrificing security would be better than those 3rd party lock screens.

Not sure about defining shortcuts. but i used pattern lock and if I hold finger on screen, rotate to landscape, then swipe pattern, it launches camera.
if i have a missed call or text there is a circle on the lock screen with the qty and if i swipe off that circle then enter pattern it takes me right to that app (missed calls or messaging).

I don't care about security for the camera or dialer.
I know there is the camera motion shortcut thing but I like the clickable widget better. I want to have the capability to define widgets on the lock screen like you can when you don't have any security. But I want it with the pattern unlock. I guess this is not available out of the box? And needs a special app?

I would like the same thing... you can get it on the standard swipe to unlock so why not the pattern lock... I have tried various lockscreens but their not without their flaw...
Widget locker.. has lots of customisation and you can add custom sliders and widgets but... its buggy prone to crashing and takes a fair bit of tweaking to be secure (ie if you dont select correct setting you can unlock with just the home key) , sometimes have to unlock twice and it always request superuser access even when the phone is in standy ... so drains battery more than it should.
Go Locker - didnt like this at all just didnt seem secure... first version could be bypassed easily... plent of themes though if security is not a priority.
I have a Nexus 4, unrooted, stock, running Android 4.4.3. Is there any way to access the camera app from the lock-screen when using a PIN to lock the phone?
This is my personal phone, but my employer requires a PIN lock (with a very short timeout) in order to access my work exchange server. It is annoying to have to enter the pin each time I want to take a photo. Once the PIN lock has been enabled there is no way to access the camera or any widgets from the lock screen. All of the applicable settings are greyed out in the security settings menu.
I have done enough searches to know that this is not possible without rooting, but I am not clear on whether or not it is possible if I root the phone. If so, what is the easiest path to add a working camera icon to the lock screen?
When my phone updated to 4.4.3, for a few days there was a camera icon on the lock screen but it did not work. No amount of swiping, dragging, or tapping could get it to work. Then after a few days the camera icon just disappeared.
Thank for you help!
Anyone else annoyed by this? I like the phone and camera shortcuts, but I don't like the Samsung camera. I use the Google camera and had a shortcut for it on the Jellybean lock screen, but now they've taken that customization away! Is there a way to make the Lollipop lock screen camera shortcut default to the Google camera?
So Im trying to personalize the lgg5 current lockscreen(i wwould like to have a kind of iphone lock screen, i like how they show you notifications) i found a nice one on play store actually that is Next, i like it, the problem its that i have that lockscreen and the system lockscreen on background, so when I unlock Next lockscreen, i have to unlock System lockscreen after. With fingerprint it works good because it unlocks both lockscreen at the same time. But i would like to have only one lockscreen enabled, i can do this actually with Next but i lose fingerprint option(beacause you only can enable this with other lockscreen option for backup)
I dont have root experience but, it is possibly to modify lockscreen with root? Or it exist another lockscreen app that someone of u uses that doesnt have this issue?
