Running Stock 4.4.3, rooted, plus xposed.
I installed the Nexus 5 camera app from the Play Store sometime ago and was fairly happy with it. But now realize that the Moto G standard camera is better. So I just removed the Nexus 5 icon and replaced it with the Moto G camera. Job done, I thought.
But I have just discovered that the camera icon on the lock screen still activates the Nexus 5 camera.
How do I change the lock screen camera icon to activate the Moto G camera?
Can't seem to find out how. Thanks!

Go to Settings>Apps and find the Nexus 5 camera app. Click on it and select the option "Clear defaults". Now lock your phone again and go to the lockscreen camera page (swipe right). If you do everything as mentioned, you will hopefully get a prompt to select which camera to open as default on this page. Select the Moto G camera app and click always and you're good to go.
Cheers!
Edit: If you don't use the Nexus 5 camera at all you should consider uninstalling it either by dragging it from the app drawer to the uninstall option on the homescreen or from Settings>Apps>Nexus 5 camera.apk>Uninstall

Thanks! The first paragraph as you described worked fine. I decided to leave the N5 camera available because it has a timer option which the Moto G doesn't have.

I was playing and comparing the Nexus 5 with the LG G2 device and I noticed a pretty cool function. You can double tap the screen to turn on and off the phone... Not sure if this is a LG launcher proprietary app or something you can install with a 3rd party. I think it'll be cool to have it on the Nexus 5. Does any body have an idea of what possible apps that can do this for the nexus 5?
LG function. Several custom kernels have supported this feature on other devices, so we can hope it comes to the N5.
Hi folks, it seems to be a rare issue but it is drving me crazy every time I use the camera.
I am on stock not rooted kitkat 4.4.2, the issue is only seen after update the google camera to the latest version with the new ui change.
Now every time I launch the camera app, the phone could hang up for 1 to 3 seconds without doing anything (low possibility). There is a guarantee (100%) that the phone will lag for more than 2 seconds when I take the first two photos in normal mode (the screen just freeze at the time when the photo swiping animation takes place after hit the capture button). Also, it is very often to see the similar lag when I browse the recent photos in the camera app.
I tried to reinstall the latest update; clear the app data + cache, but neither works for me. Now I just go back to the old camera, all the freezes/lags are gone!
Please can anyone suggest some possible solutions? I really like the new camera ui. Thanks!

My new camera app is pretty buggy too actually, random freezes, etc...
I think it'll get better with time.

Guys I'm using Lollipop on my Nexus 7 and trusted face annoys the hell out of me as the preview window has been dropped since KK. This means it hardly ever works.
In the good old days of my Nexus 5, Face unlock was always successful as I could line the camera up properly using the preview window.
Is there a hack that can re-enable the preview window in Lollipop or a 3rd party app that will give me the KK face unlock?
Thanks in advance. :fingers-crossed:
Hi everyone,
For the short version i 'd like to know if there is a possibility to skip the lockscreen password when launching a non-stock camera app for the lockscreen shortcut ?
For the longer version :
It all started 6 month ago when i updated my S7 (exynos) with the Oreo update (via OTA). Short after this update, i started to notice some picture taken with my stock camera app were really bad, like compressed for MMS.
The phenomenon seems kinda random and can appear on any light condition (even outiside with good daylight). I factory reseted my phone but the problem remain.
So after a while living with this issue, is installed recently a GCAM prot for S7 which seems to give way better quality than stock (need to be confirmed in the long term). I decided to replace the stock camera app on all the shortcuts on my phone (launcher and lockscreen). And here comes my question :
The password skip function when launching stock camera app is really handy. so is there a way to have the same function on any camera app ? (i would love the same function with the calculator app ^^)
Am i the only one facing stock camera quality issue since oreo udate ? i found no thread in the forum.
Thank you in advance

You can chose any shortcuts you wish for the lock screen which bypass the screen lock to use, look on the lockscreen setting menu.

Choosing the shortcut is not my problem.
Right now, the only shortcut that skip the password screen is the camera. Even the default phone shortcut doesn't do that.
And I don't have any option in Lockscreen settings to choose which app bypass or not
You have an odd problem I always use the default camera app from the lockscreen and the quality is the same as launching the app from the home screen....I'm guessing is working properly when you lunch it from the launcher?

I'm using Motorola phones now for years and got
used to the Moto Display to show messages and emails without turning on the phone
and turning the flashlight on with the two chopping motions or Twist the wrist twice quickly to open the camera anytime.
But the motos are getting bigger and bigger, so I was looking for something more compact and found the Pixel 4a.
Is there a chance to have theses moto features on a Pixel?

Also a long time moto user. Displaying emails/messages on the lock screen is a native Android (not Moto) security feature that you can toggle on/off. Pixel 4a camera can be launched via double click of power button, similar to many other phones. Double chop flashlight toggle is a Moto specific action; I do miss that. At present I'm engaging flashlight by swiping down notifications and tapping the flashlight quick action icon...even when locked. Seems easy enough.

There's already lots of those options for the 2xl depending on which ROM you use. Too bad the 4a didn't get active edge. It's a nice feature if you remember to use it.

OnePlus has a screen off gesture setting (draw a V on the screen) which was excellent. I'm looking for Magisk or EdXposed module that would use a gesture for flashlight but haven't seen anything.
This might work:

has anyone tried this?

Tried that... can't get it to work. It is able to detect my double twist, I can feel the vibration, but then camera won't launch (I set the action to launch camera). Apart from that, it is hard to get it to detect the gesture, compared to the smoothness on Motorola phones (I have had quite a few!)
My last phone is HTC U11, which has edge sense, so easy to launch the camera and taking photos with squeeze.
Now on Pixel 4a, I am making myself to get used to the power button double tab to launch cam, and volume button to take photos. Not as smooth but doable...
Is it maybe possible to install moto action from the apk-file on a Pixel?
