[MOD][Xposed] Enable camera on lockscreen

MohammadAG · Apr 12, 2013

Samsung users with 4.2.2 should have a look at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43581535#post43581535

Just a simple tweak that addresses an issue that's been bugging me.

I have a long password, and having to enter it every time to use the camera is a major inconvenience.

This tweak allows you to open the camera while the device is locked. Both the camera and the camcorder work.
Tapping the gallery button will send you back to the lockscreen.

This will only work on Samsung based ROMs.

Read the first post. I mentioned that opening the gallery will send you back to the lockscreen.

Any chance you could also get this to work for pattern lock also?

It works on any lock type. You need a way to open the camera app though.
Just enable "With swipe lock" in Settings -> Lock screen and add a shortcut to the camera in lock screen options.

You're right - I just didn't wait long enough. I saw the pattern and instinctively entered it.

Thanks

I tried this but doesn't seem to work with pattern lock. Can someone confirm?

It should work with any lockscreen, but it works only with Samsung's camera. If you're using AOSP or something, use Xposed App Settings 0.4 and set "Show when phone locked" for the camera app you use.

Even after enabling "Show when phone locked" within the Camera app setting it didn't work. Does it work in conjunction the Disable Camera Alerts Module? I have that model activated as well.

This isn't working for me for some reason, appreciate any help.

I'm using the PIN lockscreen on a Verizon Galaxy S4, stock rooted.

I've installed exposed installer, installed this mod, enabled it, but I can only get the camera to appear on the lock screen if I choose the unsecured swipe lock screen.

If I select the PIN lockscreen option, the camera/lockscreen options aren't available in Settings/Lockscreen.

Screen shots below to show my settings...what an I doing wrong or not doing?

When I choose PIN as the lockscreen type:

Swipe as lockscreen type:

Try seeing if you can get the camera to work anyway.

(I believe the mod does not depend on the Settings settings.)

Thanks for your reply...

On the PIN lock screen I cannot swipe in any direction, left or right (swiping on the top half where the clock appears above the number pad to enter the PIN.

What about swiping up on the camera icon, and then waiting for a few seconds?

NO

Thanks for the suggestion...

There is no camera icon on my PIN lock screen. All I have is the clock/personal message, PIN keypad, and emergency dial options at the bottom. I can only get the camera icon to appear on the lockscreen when I select Swipe (unsecure) lock screen.

Any of the lock screens w/security (e.g., pattern, PIN, etc.) will not display the camera icon, nor allow me to select that option in the Lock Screen settings, even though I have this xposed mod installed.

Either I'm making a doofus error somehow, or this just isn't working on the GS4. Do you know if anyone else w/an S4 got this to work?

I am able to get it to work however, after a short while the hack fails until FC or retstart. Perhaps a constant notification is needed to keep it live?
