hey guys,
does the camera launch on lockscreen?
and does it display the picture you've taken on a lock mode (like an iphone) or do you have to unlock to view the pictures?
Thanks!
The camera does launch from the lock screen (even with pin enabled), it also only gives you a "locked" gallery letting you view or delete only the pictures taken then and there, you need to unlock to access the rest of the gallery.

Looking for a lock replacement that does the following:
- Randomly picks pictures from a user specified directory (including external SD) and displays a different one every time the screen turns on
- Once the screen is on allows to flip through the pictures on the locked screen by swiping right/left
- Does that only on the lock screen, not the other screens
I found one that comes close but not quite. The Active Screen Lock has a Personal Gallery plugin that kind of does what I'm looking for except that:
- it does not allow to point to a directory, each picture has to be preloaded via the plugin settings from a default area
- it has a limit of about 20 pictures, and I'd like to have hundreds
Thanks for any advice!

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 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?
