hi all. quick question for you guys: is there anyway to get unlock to camera with the pin lock engaged on the Nexus S like the iOS implementation?
I have to say that iOS implementation of unlock to camera with pin lock is the best in business for the time being.
for those who haven't seen it: on the iOS implementation, when facing a pin locked screen, anyone can still unlock directly to camera and take photos. AND they can even browse the gallery but the gallery only allows access to the photos that are just taken (phone still locked).
it's even session based. the next time the phone locks again, the user can still unlock directly to camera and gallery like the last time, but the photos taken from the last session while the phone was still locked are now hidden and not shown. so each time the gallery only shows the photos the are just taken.
all photos, of course, are added to the gallery.
it's brilliant! is there any way to get something close to this on a custom ROM on a Nexus S?
Thanks, all! :good:
Yes, it's called android 4.2. Watch it in youtube its quite interesting

I've been wanting this for a while, glad to hear it's coming out with 4.2.

This did not show it working with Pin Lock Screen though (as requested by op)...
I did have the video on mute due to being at work and might have missed him saying that it also works with pin lock screen...
It does work with pin lock. Saw a review from a guy at Google. Looks awesome. You can add the camera to one of the widgets. You can take pictures and view the pictures you just took. Upon switching to sleep mode and on again you can't see the pictures you just took.

Hi all...
I have recently noticed that if i open the camera from the lock screen when i unlock the device, after that, the unlock animation is ultrafast, and not smooth as usual.
I have to reboot to get it back to normal.
Can anyone duplicate this behavior to see if it is "normal" ?

Maybe the recent camera bug that Google has reported and is working on for the next update has something to do with what i have reported here...
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.
Hi all,
I am using smart cover for my mate 7, my question is how can I customis or edit the smart cover lock screen to add for example extra page or open, dial, send SMS, open the open the call log or change the background!
Thanks
I had same question , tried many times but couldnt change smart cover picture . also i am unable to find smart lock ? having problem connecting bluetooth to my win 10 vaio, it is connected but i cant send data from phone to pc ! it fails . but i can receive from pc to phone.
Same problem for me with Lollipop on me MT7-LT10
I have upgrade my phone (in local) with the official B324 and i can't change the smartcover background, even when i try to change it by the theme menu, its always the picture with a bridge.
@ sabkt : the smart lock is for me in the "locksreen" menu in "other" section
One more here how we can change this ????
Same. I am done with Huawei. First they take years to update, we'll probably never even see Android 6. Their build quality equals total ****. I have had a replaced display by service center 2 TIMES NOW for screen bleed of whites and other lighter colors (in the middle of the screen, random places, etc. And then they manage to screw up one of the things they got right. The old clock and music player were amazing.
Same problem ... no solution???
Same problem here, and the impossibility to change the background it's very annoying
Whilst I wish I could change the picture, I don't miss music from the lock screen. I use PlayerPro and the built-in Music would override it on the lock screen plus it was forever randomly starting (Presumably I was catching the lock screen accidentally).
I having the Same problem too. After the update, I only can see miss call and message notification. I not able to see other than that to notification. Does anyone know how to configure this?
Same problems with me.
Is there some third party app which can to change default bridge picture theme on lolipop?
Also annoyed by this new lock. Want to at least be able to change wallpaper there.

This seems to be a general problem for Huawei/Honor phones.
I can not adjust anything on my Huawei G8 smart cover screen either. It's not the background picture that annoyes me, but that no notifications are display (except that the phone is ringing). Luckily I can switch off the smart cover screen. This way I can see the notification bar at least. Since I have enabled to show the notifications with a swipe over the fingerprint sensor I can view the top most notifications w/o opening the cover.

Hi all,
Try the EMUI Theme Editor app on google play - i havent used it myself for the SmartCover, but it has got an option to change Smart Cover background. Has alot of other useful tools to change EMUI.
Hello all,
I bought today the Honor 8, after the setup i did the update to nougat.
But the main problem atm i have is that the notification led dont work if i get a text message from whatsapp or from other 3d party apps.
I make it work with the app Light manager, but i guess it must work straight out the box right? is it a bug or some setting that i miss?
Also i miss already smartlock on the phone, i there a alternative for it when u are at home that the phone automatic unlocks?
I have now a little regret that I have not bought a phone with a fingerprint on the front side like the Lenevo P2, because it is very annoying when the phone is on the table and u need to type pincode or the password.
I had expect that Honor got smartlock since it is a default android feature.
Led should work,mine works from the first boot
