Changing default lock screen camera app - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Been having difficulty pinpointing a solution to this,
what would be the best way of changing the camera shortcut from the stock camera app to the Google Camera one? Just prefer it.

[Q] Can you change gallery app?

Just wondering if there is a way to change the gallery app when you swipe the camera to the right? I have installed a different gallery app and when I'm in the camera and I swipe, I want my new gallery to open and not the stock one
You can't access the 3rd party app using the camera swipe gesture, because this photo viewer is integrated into the camera app itself.
The camera function is in the gallery app (not the otherway around, but same idea, really), so there is no good way to change to behavior.

Thanks

That gives me the ability to remove the camera from sliding the page to the right but not not the option to remove the camera icon from the unlock page

[Q] Camera/Dialer/LockScreen DPI Fix

Long time lurker here, love XDA and just actually got up and running with my new Note 4. The same thought went through my head with the stock Note 3... "Why the hell do they make a phone so large and just blow the icons up, it does me no good, I'm not a blind man..." So, naturally, one of my first steps after getting root was changing the DPI.
Like with the Note 3, I quickly realized that the Samsung Applications don't play nice with the custom DPI.
I realize this may be a completely stupid question, but my Google-fu has failed me so far. I've tried using Xposed to change the DPI (just on the Camera so far) back to defaults, but nothing seems to change the camera. Is there an alternate method to tell these applications to use the default DPI, are there modded version of these apps released yet, or is there a guide I could use to assist with modding these apps to make them friendly to DPI changes?
did you enable (tick) the (app settings) at module page of xposed? I am using note 4 too, and set default dpi = 480, and notice camera app is not support custom dpi, so i use app setting to assign it back, wish this can help.
Oh samsung, you still haven't made the camera app multi dpi, that's poor

App settings in xposed then change keyguard to 640 dpi click apply res to widgets.
Works, thanks
Hey thanks for this info, but I don't seem to be able to change dpi of dialer/phone with app settings (camera and lockscreen worked). Am I changing the wrong app? (changed com.sec.phone and com.android.phone back to default 640)
Anyone know how to change recent apps dpi back to normal?

Nevermind, I forgot it was to change contacts apk. Also, with the new DPI, minimizing apps by drawing in from the corner no longer works. It will show as if it is shrinking the app to pop-up window then it will vanish. However, the window is still active as I tried multiple apps and then it prevented me because it said there is already 5 popups active (which is the maximum). Thanks for any help in advance!

I am not a developer, but I like all the work developers done for Android phones. I also had the same problem. Camera problem has been solved using "App Setting" application thru Xposed framework. However, Dialer and Keyboard didn't work.
Then I finally download Google Keyboard , which is the best one to use instead of Samsung Stock Keyboard. So, I am looking for another alternative for Dialer. lets see, I will post here if find anything. Thanks!

Working S8/N8-Touchwiz and S-view DPI?

So I'm running on stock now with Alexandr Rom and I have configured it to get some nougat feeling, like button mapper for shortcuts, swapps drawer, systemui changed and DPI to 560.
Only two problems I have is:
1: Is there any working S8/N8 Touchwiz that is working on rooted stock Rom? I've tried several and they are all FC. It was one that was working but it FC on swiping up so I couldn't get to all apps.
I really hate the app drawer icon on Touchwiz 2.4, and I really don't like the look of nova launcher.
2: Is there any way to change back the DPI of S-view cover to 640? Or a Multi-DPI S-view. I've searched but never found a answer. I saw in one thread that was written like 3years ago that someone solved it by copying S-view from another rom, but the file doesn't exist anymore.

Changing default camera app

I've installed the GCam app APK and it is working fine, I've also set it as the default application for camera in settings.
Even with this, whenever I double click the power button (I've got this set to launch the camera) or expand the camera icon in the bottom right of the lockscreen, it still launches the OnePlus camera app rather than the one I've set as default.
Is there a way to change this to open the other camera app, rather than the OnePlus one?
I've also tried installing a different camera app from the app store in case but the same thing happens.
Can anyone help with this please?
