I just upgraded from an SGS to SGSII. The one big thing i hated about the SGS was the lockscreen, I like to have it locked with a PIN/Pass/Pattern which works but you loose the ability to read text message or view phone calls or even change tracks.
I know i can get Widget locker but its just not as effective like the native lockscreen without a password. Is there anyway to the phone lock with password and still have the ability to do simple things like read text etc without unlocking?
I know Sense has a very nice lockscreen that let you configure it so it can do much more like open camera etc.
Trying to decide between the HTC Raider and Samsung Galaxy S II
wondering if there is any app that has secure lock screen like with pattern or code unlock, but also has access to camera app straight from lock screen without unlocking the phone... though there would be another security needs to be applied that if the phone is used by someone else, they can use it to take pictures or videos but cannot go into gallery or review other data if the camera is activated by straight from unlock screen....
and then, if one needs to access the gallery from there.. they need to draw secured pattern or key in the unlock code....
any idea if there is any app for this?
just like in iphone os, there is camera button, and code unlock, and once camera is initiated, only pictures taken with activation of camera without unlocking phone can be reviewed ....
wish I knew how to program in Android, I would have done it !!!

I found this but can't set it up. i have tasker, widget locker and secure settings with helper.
from widget locker the option to add task cut isn't given and tbh i don't really have a clue what i doing from within tasker?
if anyone can figure this out and perhaps give a step by step or even better still if someone could manage to make an apk with this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.appfactory
that would be awsome!

Anyone ever get this working?
I noticed other day that HTC One X has similar function....
from home screen, any guest can access camera and take photos... but can only see photos taken by the guest... the phone is still locked and needs pattern/passcode to unlock it.
wish that could be implemented in samsung galaxy s3 lockscreen ...
any ideas/leads how this could be done?
well... noticed this in Windows phone also ... if the phone is locked one can access camera by pressing camera button (in nokia's) and then can take pictures/videos and look at only just taken pictures & videos ..... arrrrhhh why it is so hard to implement in samsung android device ???
wish i was developer, i could totally write an app for this, which would fire camera from locked screen shortcut, and would take pictures and videos in one temp location only...
This was introduced in Android 4.2 Jelly Bean using the lockscreen widgets. :good:

I do not understand .... can you please explain how can i have a lockscreen widget installed which will fire camera and will let me take pictures/videos without unlocking the phone, PLUS it also does not allow to view all my other pictures from gallery, just only the pictures/videos shot using that lockscreen widget....
If you're running an Android 4.2 ROM, just swipe left on the lock screen. The widget to the right of the lock screen is the camera widget and takes you into camera. Works exactly the way you're asking for.

HTC One X isn't 4.2 ... i think it is the HTC one X launcher which has in-built lockscreen which does the trick - allow usage of camera on locked phone, and also allows only to see just taken pictures, and videos, not the others already in phone.
Hi,
I have set my wallpaper to a static wallpaper, have also changed lockscreen so not running magazine lock, but my wallpaper still changes
Anyone know how to properly stop this from changing on stock rom without using a root fix or changing the rom
this is on the mate 10 pro
thanks

i left lockscreen to magazine, went in
security and privacy, screen lock and password, magazine unlock and removed all subscriptions and autoupdates, and deleted all magazine photos from gallery. you can add your choice for lockscreen photo there, apply one from theme app or apply from gallery.

cheers for that, will see how it goes, i had previously disabled the subscriptions, but not deleted the images from the folder - must be a bug or a setting somewhere that overrides the user settings as everything was disabled, it hadn't changed the picture for a few days so thought I had originally fixed it, hopefully this step has done that
thanks
It changed again, even though everything disabled and no images in magazine unlock folder

have no idea. i just did thise 2 things and applied wallpaper form gallery. didnt change for 10 days. i would use differnt lockscreen style but magazine one is the only that gives me notifications. maybe its firmware bug. and change back to magazine style if you didnt.
Hahaha and i wanna know how to get it back
I have a rooted Mate 10 pro (Magisk root) and the magazine won't be downloaded. I only get the information that there is an update when I go to the menu. I'm not sure whether the root is the reason for that. Could anybody confirm that?
Hi All,
Just recently got the Mate 20 Pro and I am really enjoying it!
One disappointment is that my previous phone (P20 Pro) had an option to randomly change the wallpaper, like from my camera gallery pictures. This is was my favourite feature! This option does not seem to be available in the Mate 20 pro, except for a "Magazine" feature for the lock screen. This is, obviously, not the same.
Does any one know if this is a bug or if it is hidden in a different menu?
Thanks
Chris
Can't find it too on my phone shipped with a French ROM.
I started to use "Wallpaper Changer" application from the store instead.
Hi Good day,
Is there a way that the selected images in magazine unlock wont zoom in/crop? The images I use are the ones I took with the camera app.
Thank you guys!
