Is it possible to change which camera app the phone launches when u long press the camera button? I want to change it to something like camera 360.

Did you try clearing defaults in stock camera app? I think that might do the trick unless Camera 360 is not sending the right intent to the system. Try it and see if you get the prompt to make one of the apps default.

So I pressed the camera icon and it says application is not currently installed on your device. Going to try repair when I get home bit does anyone have any ideas?
I have RB****20 firmware.

Delete icon then just make a new shortcut to camera on your desk.
With all the made skillz here at XDA.
Do you think someone can whip up an app that when you hold the Search button, instead of picking voice search, it can open up the Camera app?
gracias

I believe long presses are handled by the kernal so it should be possible but I am not sure how.
Currently, long press on the search opens google talk...maybe long press on the menu or something?
Good idea though

You get the option for powerstrip or chompsms to take over that button.
I would love an app to launch whatever you want, like the camera or the phone app.
Surely this should be super easy to make

I would like it to be used for voice input in emails/texts. The tiny mic button is hard to hit on the Android keyboard.
I use LaunchPro and setup the app drawer swipe up gesture to open camera, works well for me.
great suggestion.. using that now
Use the android market app called 'Button Shortcut' i made the long-press search open camera instead of google search.

Not seeing how to get to the swipe features. How can I do that?

I don't know about launcher pro but I do exactly the same in ADW. I took LP off after I discovered this in ADW, I never saw this in LP, did I miss it?

Press and hold one of the apps in the app drawer until the menu pops up. Select 'Swipe Gesture Action'

I took the advice. Since I already had handcent SMS assigned to the button and voice search had been assigned before that I got a nice little menu out of it. I think its more useful w/o selecting a default

button shortcut worked once for me and then did nothing. uninstalled. Anyone got anything better?
When I press and hold my home button I dont get the background app list anymore.
Now I get the dialog box asking for the default behavior and my only choices are google now and my screen off app.
I tried resetting my defaults in application manager but that didnt do it.
Anyone know how to return this back to the background app list?

Did you do any remapping of the keys with Xposed?
People have been posting in the cm11 forum's that the camera won't show up,so let me show you how to fix that.
There are two ways you can do this.
1st method,
As you can see there is no camera shortcut
So go into settings and click lock screen, then there will
Be a option called camera shortcut click it, now you can launch camera from your lock screen.
2nd method.
As you can see there is no camera icon,so go to settings and click interface, now click Quick settings panel.
Underneath Static tiles is tiles and layout,press this.
Now there are a bunch of squares, press the plus,now select camera. Now when you want to use the camera just swipe down on the left and press camera and you will see a little square that can move,now press it and you can take a picture.
And that's how you use camera!
Give thanks if I helped you

the Swipe to right during lockscreen, or the long press down key during lock screen
can it access other camera app instead of stock LG camera app?
I find the G2 camera app very slow, bad file naming (use number format instead of date) and lack of filters.
What if I uninstall the stock camera apk (rooted), will the OS ask me to choose another camera app instead? or simply crash the system

If you install another camera app, the next time you access the lockscreen or messaging cam you will be prompted to choose a default. No need to uninstall the stock camera.

I agree. But you can use which default camera should be selected all the time through the phones settings.

If you select "Always" when prompted then it will be the one always used.
If you want to change you go to the app list, open the properties of the currently defaulted camera app and "Clear defaults", that way the next time you swipe from the lockscreen you'll be asked to choose again.
Not very handy I agree but managing all defaults from the settings would be cumbersome anyway. Plus a lot of people don't really care about that so if you're down to that level of tweaking you probably can live with the available method.

That's true. Maybe we can look at some other ways to do this on rooted device. But for out of the box smartphones, this is only the option.
after multiple approach, seems like i only can use my desire camera app at lock screen IF the lockscreen is not code protected
After set up my pattern code, the lockscreen camera will always be the stock camera despite cleared default in app.
I guess it's a security reason, or the lock screen camera is actually a widget instead of a proper app, hence cannot be changed.
