Heya guys,
I've done several things including download the default Google camera app (you know, the one that doesn't ask for your PIN just to use the front-facing camera from the lockscreen, and loads 10x quicker than the Sony supplied app).
So I want to replace the camera link on the lockscreen - but I can't find any reasonable way to do it.
I don't really want to root the device in order to do this, and the lockscreens in the app store just seem rubbish/untrustworthy.
Is there a way to get the default nexus lockscreen?
Can anyone recommend a solution or reliable lockscreen which would allow me to do this?
Ta.

I've recently downloaded camera Zoom FX which is a fantastic alternative for the stock camera. I've set the app as my default camera app and added it to my dock. However, I couldn't find any settings to make the camera app located on the lockscreen (by swyping the lockscreen to the right) substituted by camera zoom FX.
Any suggestion on how to do that?
Thanks in advance!
download Widget Locker
Thanks. So there is no way to define this in the stock screenlock?
Brilliant question. This was the first thing I wanted to know when I saw the camera shortcut on the lock screen...i may just add to the question..is there a way we can add any other shortcut to it? Like message, mail, call log etc...?
Widget Locker allows this but I can't find a way to do it stock.
why would you want to replace it? camera zoom fx doesnt offer video recording right, so the stock camera is handier ir am i missing something here?

Some people don't take video that much. I hardly do. Mostly still photos.
Also, there are other camera apps that do allow for video, so being able to change from the stock camera is a helpful mod.

absolutely buddy...i don't either...wonder why is only camera as an option there...hmmm..anyways...any hope ICS would open up other options?
This is definitely a good question. I'm sure a dev could figure it out.

Anybody figure this out yet on how to change the default camera on the lockscreen without Widget Locker?
Well, FWIW, it is possible. I don't know how but CM7 allows for 4 different shortcuts of your choice on the lock screen. If you can do it on CM7, I imagine it's possible with any rom.
Hey guys, I can figure out how to add widgets to different panes of the lock screen, although not very useful.
I can't help finding a way to add app shortcuts at the bottom alongside the camera app (or somewhere else). Any way to do so?
Cheer!
Not that i know of
If you know advanced java then i suggest decompile the lock screen and modify it

Ive been looking for this too. With the camera being in the top centre, it definitely looks like it has provisions for more shortcuts but just cant find the settings anywhere.
Besides using a 3rd party app, im hoping someone can shed some light on how to set it up (for non rooted phones)
Some phones, like the Blackberry Priv, has the ability to switch from views at the Recent used apps.
I wanted to know if this is port-able to other Android phones.
I find it painful to use the Rolodex at the Recent (using rooted Sony Xperia XA stock ROM (Marshmellow))
I've tried to find something concerning this, but the only thing that I could find is that only the Priv has this nice option
If it's not possible, a widget on the desktop that has the same purpose is also welcome, couldn't find anything as well
Bump, anyone?
Hi there － I have recently purchased the MiPad5pro and have a few questions about the tablet and MiUi in general as this is my first Xiaomi device. I'm running the latest available version for MiUi for the pad5pro in China.
1. Has anyone been able to get Novalauncher to work? I get an error saying only those launchers verified by Xiaomi are allowed. Is that a miui issue or a miui for pad issue? Any other launchers recommended? I use Oneplus for my phone and have it set up with novalauncher that allows me to have the google shelf when swiping to the left from the home screen. I'd love to have that feature on my mipad.
2. is there a way to natively translate text on the screen? For eg: ColorOs has a built in screen translater that allows you to translate any part of the screen or the entire screen. Anything similar available for miui natively？or any apps that you'd recommend that aren't loaded with ads?
3. without root, is there a way to remove miAI and make Google assistant the default assistant app and get it to work in all the apps?for example, the miui clock app has a mic option for assistant but it triggers miai even though I have set Google assistant as my default ai app. Also, every time the tab is restarted, it defaults to miai as the default ai app instead of the previously set Google assistant.
Happy to answer any questions anyone might have if they are looking at buying this tablet.
Yes I am on the same CN stock ROM (do we have any other choice atm?). I am hating MIUI every minute of the day...
1. You can choose Nova as your default launcher. But you have to do so from Nova, not MIUI settings.
2. Sorry I don't know... I gather you're talking about an app that reads a text off a picture? You tried the stock Gallary app (the purple one)? If you didn't find the function in the app, then maybe it's not possible without a 3rd party app?
3. My pad is rooted, but I've tried what you asked... It looks like your choice of the detault assistant app (I tried google) stays after reboot. I set the detault through 'default app' on settings.
I hope we will be out of this misery soon. MIUI (Chinese version) is a torture.

Thanks. I don't hate the MiUi, it serves my purposes, just hoping to get a few of these issues fixed.
Was able to get Nova sorted like you mentioned, but Nova didn't work too well as it doesn't fully move to landscape mode.
#2 is the one I need most, so hopefully if someone else has an app they can recommend. It is not just about a picture, but about text in any app. Hoping for a 3rd party app that can be used that doesn't have a bunch of ads every time you use it.
I removed MiAi using this method along with some other Chinese language apps
It seems safe and you can re install or re enable the apps of you have any problems.

I have the solution to 3.
Without root, it's just a matter of getting the permissions correct.
Xiaomi has a privacy setting in the Google permissions that grants the permissions without confirming with google. That's why you can't get the default assistant to stick.
This will fix it. Give google always allow on device info inside the Google app, not assistant app.
Enjoy.
I'd like to be able to quickly access my calculator app without unlocking my device. Does anyone know if thats possible? you can do it with the camera and google pay so i assume it should be possible. Thanks
