Lockscreen apps and camera access - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really like the double-click of the home button launching the camera when the phone is locked. I also wanted more options on the lockscreen but when I install a different lockscreen app I lose the double-click camera access. Is there one that works with the camera?

[REQ] Remap Volume Keys Long-press (even while phone is locked)

I'd like to remap my volume keys so when i long-press them i can perform and specific function, even when the screen is locked.
I know CM7 had a feature you can map the keys for camera or next/prev track for music app, but what i would like is a Long-press option for screen brightness.
I also understand there are apps like widgetlocker which allow me to adjust from the lockscreen, but this doesn't work if i'm getting a call (with the sun beaming down its hard to see who's calling). Maybe there is an app on the market for rooted devices i'm missing?
I think this would be a cool feature and could have many uses, not just brightness/camera(no need on 3VO)/music.
any dev think its possible or can take a crack at it?

[Q] Help! Lockscreen camera bug!

Hi all,
When i use the camera shortcut on my lock screen, whenever i press the "changing to front/back camera" sign or the setting button, it just brings me right back to the lock screen.
Seems very buggy
please help..
Try using the camera button instead?
Just tried and have no problems switching front-back camera or going into Settings, if I launched the camera app via the lockscreen.

Changing the double tap home button app?

Anyone know how to change apps instead of camera launching? Rooted and ready to go.

Gesture shortcut for Google Camera

Hi
I have installed the Google Camera on my Poco F1 [from apkquick] and made that the default camera. I would really like to have a gesture/ button shortcut (eg. double click the power button) to take me to the Google Camera. But it always takes me back to Poco's own camera app. Is there a way to have a gesture/ button shortcut to the Google Camera app?
Thanks!

Question Camera/Shutter Button Not Working When Locked

Not sure if it's something I inadvertently broke, but when my UK XQ-BC52 61.1.A.2.211 (Android 12) is locked, I can't get into the Photo Pro app by holding the shutton button. It just opens up the lock screen asking me to unlock the phone.
Double pressing the power button does still work though.
My phone has an unlocked bootloader and is running Magisk.
Just another A12 bug?
Is it just Sony's confusing mess? Opening the camera with the power button is a system setting while the shutter button is an application setting in Photo Pro and Cinema Pro. Maybe the Photo Pro has no background permission and can't see the button presses.
Ah, just figured it out. Turns out it was caused by me removing the camera shortcut from the lockscreen with XPERI+. Resetting the Right shortcut got the shutter button working properly again.
