Take picture w/o unlocking

Is there a picture app/ feature that allows you to quickly take a picture without having to unlock the phone?
Windows and crappie have this features and I wanted on my S3.
Thanks

Thanks, but the feature mentioned above does not support codes so it does not work when the phone is locked.
Do you have a GS3?

Why not try adding the camera app to one of the shortcuts on the lockscreen?

This is why:
1) Faster camera launch.
2) You don't have to enter a password every time you want to take a picture yet your phone its still locked/secured.
3) If you want someone else to take a pic, you have to stop and unlock the phone first or give them your password.
4) When the shortcut is on the lock screen, you have to enter the password before allowing you to take the pic. You'll miss the moment.
5) With Windows 7 and Crapple you don't have to unlock and could quickly launch the camera. Also, all the pictures you take at the moment are visible w/o unlocking.
It would be a good feature to have on the GS3.

Would be a great add on

of course that would be an inconvenience if you have a password on your phone (which i understand most people do.) i on the other hand do not as i dont let my phone out of my sight. i use the shortcut but thats just me and like they say to each his own right.

I would assume if you have a pin unlock code or something else it would be there no matter what app you use

If you use Tasker and the secure settings plugin this MIGHT be possible.

Do you have any experience using Tasker? Have you tried it?

There is an app for this but it requires having a dedicated shutter button on the device.
May I ask how you plan to take a picture without having some sort of GUI?

The stock ROM for my old HTC Amaze did this. I I don't know why Samsung didn't include it.

If memory serves me right, that has a dedicated camera button. If you really really really want this feature, you could remap the home button to function as your camera button, then run the navigation bar that appears in galaxy nexus devices and devices without hardware buttons

Can't you make a tasker function for that

Here is a link of how exactly this is done using tasker.

You can wait for Android 4.2 since this functionally is now built into the lock screen.

Yes it does but I didnt have to use the button to do it. You pushed the unlock button, then slid the lock ring onto the camera icon (assuming you had it on your lock screen) and you could take a picture. You would see the 3 sec preview of it, and then take more pics. If you tapped the small pic of the last image, and it would take you to the pattern/number lock. That way someone couldn't see your pics without the pass.

4.2 camera Flashable zip

I'm not sure if this has been posted in our forum, I was looking around for it last night tried it and it works great. Not too sure who to give credit to as I had a few drinks and didn't pay attention on where I got it. This will install the 4.2 camera and gallery. I flashed with Twrp. It won't delete the camera you already have, just adds the new one.
It was tricky to figure out how to use the Photo Sphere so I will give a quick rundown;
1. Open new camera in the app drawer
2. Tap small camera icon and select the spherical globe
3. Take a spherical photo, no need to tap any buttons, it will take the shot automatically
4. Close out app
5. Reopen new camera app and swipe left to access the new gallery
6. Scroll to your spherical photo and tap the little globe icon and view.
7. Awesome.

you don't have to exit out. you can just swipe left and find it processing the image and wait for it to finish.

Works perfect on rasbean 6/11..

[Q] On screen buttons

Hi,
Is there any way to enable on screen buttons on note 2 ? I just need back and home button on it.
Thanks

Not at the moment. you can edit build.prop but things get all messed up.
Just download button savior for now. I have it setup where back and home pops out of the left side and goes bck in withiin a second once used. very convenient and minimal. Doesn't take up much space like all the other wannabe button apps.
OPPAN NOTE 2 STYLE!!!

You can I do its throws a couple of things out of wack. Tw launcher. I use apex though. The camera, cuts of half of the shoot button and the diailer also call log your last call ........ im used to it the buttons are of more help to me then the problems are trouble...." qemu.hw.mainkeys=0"

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 use ROM toolbox paste in at the end of build prop reboot
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

Not sure why anyone would want to edit the build.prop, it messes up all the dimensions. Here is a pic of what i am talking about. Button Savior simple clean and works. Everything is configurable, from button locations, size, numbers of them, how long before it goes away etc ..

Camera App on Slim Bean

Was looking through the settings in the camera app that comes with the slim bean rom. What do the following options do:
Smart Capture
True View
Power Shutter
Not really sure what those settings enable/disable.
Any help with the explanation of those would be great
Thanks.

Power shutter is really exactly what it says. Select it, reboot and your power button is now a button to take pictures.
Smart capture is also neat. Here's a video of it working.

I don't know about True view, my guess is it's for the front camera, it'll show you what the picture will look like, not a mirror and than flip it in processing. Just an educated guess though.

I know it is an old thread. But, in case still you haven't read about it:
TrueView faq from slimrom.net
True view is a camera feature to show the whole field of view of the camera.
By default the field of view is stretched and cut on the sides to fit fullscreen.

It has been combined with Shots and More Moving Subject MUST be in frame FIRST before you TAP ONCE. Do not HOLD or it will take burst shots and only offer "BEST SHOT" feature. When subject enters the frame, tap on the camera icon. Like you do when taking normal picture. Don't hold it.

Thanks for the reply. So I was able to do what you said. But after the shot and I go into the photo, my only option is "Best Photo" while all the other options are greyed out.

After tapping on camera on time then letting it capture shots I see Panning shot, Eraser, Drama Shot, Best Face, and Best Photo to choose from Mine are not greyed out so I'm not sure how to fix your problem
