[Question] How to skip lockscreen password with non-stock camera app ? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

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?

[Q] Camera in-app settings menu missing

Greetings everyone! Can anyone shed some light as to a possible reason why the "in-app" settings menu's on the Skyrocket's stock Camera app would display behind the on screen image or other 3rd party Camera apps (IE Camera+ ICS) do not display the camera control UI when requested? I'm having a heck of a time solving this issue. My Skyrocket is rooted if that helps. I've completed a wipe/factory reset and still have this issue. any insight/solution would be helpful.
Which custom ROM are you using? It may be a problem with the ROM.
Sorry about that. I neglected to mention that part....I am using the Stock Gingerbread ROM included when I bought the phone, and have Titanium Backup installed.

If you have a Note Edge that's been updated to Lollipop, Samsung changed the camera app and moved the capture button to match most the other Android devices.....
I won't like the new camera app for this reason.
So there is no way to bring all camera controls on edge screen
I too dont like new camera app now...

Selfies are easy, you can use the heat-rate sensor on the back to snap a picture.

Help please I have the same issue >> I need the camera control on Edge screen not in the main screen , can any body extract apk of the stock camera from kk ?
Edge Camera
Hi,
It's better to use voice command than switching to camera tap on main screen.
I also talked to Samsung customer service but those morons are acting like they have no clue what happened wrong.
Regarding selfies either prefer voice command or use your index finger on the sensor below the camera( at the back) , it will capture pics.
but the place of shutter control over Edge screen is much better ,, it is the reason why I bought galaxy note Edge
Please help >>
Edge Camera
We were using kitkat for nearly 4 months with the camera tap on edge screen and had no expectation that this will be removed in lollipop update.
So its like we all are facing the same issue but Samsung seems to act like an idiot by changing the edge screen functionality from camera app.
Have no clue to get it back other than downgrading to Kitkat.
if downgrading to kk will erase and wipe all data I will not do it ,,, so we need help here

Titanium?
my problem is customaising the forldes and downloading program data which will take 3 days of my time .. titanium not restoring these things
2 options that work for me
1. Samsung Smart Switch for PC. This has replaced Kies and copies your images and documents as well to their respective folders. It also copies the app apk. So after that you can just restore the app data from Titanium
2. For a full copy of the sd card, Unified Android Toolkit works pretty well. It's useful if you have very customised data folders.
folders of icons of my downloaded software in the app menu ,, no way to restore the order and content of folders which I made it
Restoring launcher data from titanium restores any folders and app order in both the home screen and app drawer

Just did a factory reset on 915G. Used Titanium and successfully restored all the folders and settings in app menu, launcher and edge bars in stock Touchwiz launcher as well as Nova. All icons, folder content, and order were correct. Just remember to do them last, after restoring all the apps.

[Q] Camera closing when launched from lockscreen

I've had my S6 for a little over a week now and love it. I have enabled the fingerprint unlock and now occasionally when I launch the camera app from the lockscreen by double tapping the home button the camera app opens and about 30 seconds later closes and returns to the lockscreen.
I wasn't sure what was happening at first but later I noticed that I had an active notification on the lockscreen and it seemed like it was stealing "focus" from the camera. I haven't had a chance to really test this out to know for sure if that is the cause, but I can tell you that it's frustrating when it happens.
Has anyone else noticed this?
I observed the same issue. At first I thought it only happens if I take photos while recording, so I even created a dedicated thread, but with no response: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/camera-app-crashes-recording-video-t3110343
Then after some time I noticed it can also happen if I take photos without video recording. The camera app is simply closed and the lock screen appears. I happens so seldom that it is hard to say what are the conditions making it to happen. I thought it might be HW-related to auto-focus, so I got a replacement device one week ago. Unfortunately the same issue is visible. It happens very rarely, only if I run the camera app from the lockscreen by double tapping the home button. I don't know if it is related to fingerprint unlock, but I also make use of it. So it seems like a software issue and basically it kills the nice functionality of running the camera app by double tapping the home button. Once I started running the camera app after unlocking the device everything works just fine.

Updated to 1.8.10 yesterday and tried using Lens and Assistant this morning but both seem broken. Lens says "thanks for updating, we will be available soon" or something like that. Assistant freezes the phone and won't open at all.
Anyone else have this problem?
Agreed that fps is faster but haven't noticed the other two.

A double tap to turn off the screen works but on the lock screen. You will wake up with a double throttle to wake up the screen and extinguish it with a double thump.

For custom launchers, try to clean cache files. I had faced some issues before cleaned caching
No issues after that, even in the duration of battery life

Android 10 [Q] Features Report/Feedback

So I know there are other android 10 threads out there but I felt like y'all should get a list of whats new in front of your eyes instead of looking around:
**Improved night camera quality - Yes I have felt and improvement it is slight however, but it did get somewhat better.
**Google's new navigation gestures (I felt like I should write this because last updates, Sony phones did not get the nav gestures) however the new gestures seem just a tiny bit laggy -rarely though- and when in landscape mode, the slide down bar drops not in a symmetric way but rather drops right sided which makes things look out of place
**New CinemaPro app features - the app now has the levels of both phone microphones like on the v50 and also has aspect ratio check lines (if you want to shoot a video on cinema pro it only shoots 21/9 but you can have check lines to see whats being viewed in any other aspect ratio you choose and you also have a meter inside the camera to show you if youre in the frame or not)
**Dark mode - works on most apps, but I can't seem to activate it on my phone app, any suggestions?
**UI click sounds changed - yup! I love the new ones they sound more like Android rather than Sony and I do love Android!
**FINGERPRINT!!!! - Yes!! finally fingerprint scanner is way more responsive now!! before it was sooo strict about the cleanness and the angle, I registered 3 fingers and it only could recognize one of them because of the angle it provides, but now every finger on any angle with less cleanness is verry responsive! (could still be worked on, but im so happy with it at this moment)
**Sadly no more face unlock, even though I never used it but it worked surprisingly fast when I had the option available, but now it doesnt exist, good thing they improved the fingerprint scanner XD
**Slightly improved battery life - I only noticed it when I tested it, but if youre not a detailed tester you wont be able to recognize throughout the day, maybe if youre a slight user, yes you will notice the phone lasting 2/3 hours longer (overall usage and not screen on time) because I can tell they worked greatly on improving the idle drain.
**Speaker loudness - I think the phone got louder? I am not sure but defiantly notice something that didnt exist, not necessarily higher quality but I do notice something increasing in volume I cant tell if its volume or distortion lol but when I go to max volume there is something that makes you think, a little lower than max sounded like max on previous android but I cant tell if max here is actually louder or just more noisy especially with dolby atmos
**Some people reported signal drops? or bad signal? I havent noticed a difference here so thats good news
**Performance - the phone was fast enough to almost be the king of speed and smoothness so yah even if its better on android 10 I cant even feel the difference but it is VERY smooth even on a new android which means its pretty sick!
**Recent apps button (in old school 3 button nav bar) doesnt seem to do anything if you have custom launcher, but works on default sony launcher.
UPDATE!!
**one handed mode, which I use alot when im in bed, cant seem to be activated in the new navigation gestures, because you have to double tap home button but u dont have it in new gestures, so heres what i did:
Enabled side sense, i know it doesn't work properly, but now you have an option of controlling how to access it, You can actually enable the inside the screen tap rather than from the side (if you have a case on, this will really help you) , adjust sensitivity, position, transparency of the slide activators, and change the gestures of how it works, now i changed the double tap side sense from opening the side sense menu, to activate one handed mode, and now side sense works smoothly with gestures and i can activate one handed mode in new android nav gestures, youre welcome
Thx u for this thread
UI seems a lot smoother. I'm liking the android 10 gestures which adds to the "smoothness".
Can't really say about photo quality, haven't been using the camera much. I can definitely notice a better battery life compared to before.
Basically no issues just yet! Aside from me getting used to the new gestures (+ side sense)
Im using the google dialer app in play store. It has a way better ui, better icons and dark mode compatible. Set it as default and it's all good. I don't understand why sony have decided to use the "stock" google messenger app but not dialer... the dialer seems customized in some way idk
There is a bug that I noticed: when going back home using the gesture, if the app icon is on the dock, the icons a bit laggy and will flash for once. don't really know how to describe it
Someone can make a full review of android 10 and post it on youtube ?

Yah you just reminded me to add that bug, also if you on landscape mode the slide down bar is off place slides from the right rather than the middle of the screen

Agree with you.

- wifi Mac address new option, set by default at "random Mac address"

Does anyone else have a weird audio bug where when you pause music or a video the sound spikes up for a second before it pauses. I've only tested it on the native music app and YouTube. I don't use any music streaming service such as Spotify or Pandora. I think I've concluded that this is a software bug since I when I flashed back to the previous firmware and didn't have the same problem. Maybe my device is just strange. Any opinion?

Precisely, IDK if that happens with pixel or one plus devices, but I know that it happens with Xperia 1. When you go back to the app, let's just say it's inside a folder, app shows in the dock then the folder pops back. Then if you open an app let's just say dialer then you switch to camera with recent menu and you go back to home screen it shows dialer app on where the camera icon then you get the camera icon back in the dock. Am I right?
