Is there a way to change the default camera app that launches when I use the volume button motion gesture to launch the camera? I would like to use a different app than the default one that launches. My phone is rooted, and I don't mind messing with files.
I'm using a Sense based rom (Wolla v6.2)

Hey guys,
Is there a way to change what the camera button, on the side of the phone, opens?

Depends on the ROM. Some have a built in feature to let you change what it does.
MIUI, for example, lets you use a short-press on camera button to toggle anything you want, and a long press open the Camera app.
I'm just wondering if either the Home button or Power button can be used as a camera button.
If you use Apex or Nova launcher (and probably others), you can configure the home button to open the camera app, but not to actuate the shutter.
On my skyrocket a dev implemented volume down to take a picture. Personally I love that feature. I know there's an app called ics camera that you can set up the volume buttons to take pictures, but I actually really like the stock interface of the touchwiz camera.

Using CM11 with Google Camera app form Play Store. By pressing the camera button the standard camerpa app from CM shows up.
How can i change it to Google Camera?
Shouldn't it be possible to remap this with Xposed Additions?
Xposed is probably the best way but I used a ghetto workaround through Tasker. Every time the stock app launched, Tasker would kill it and then launch Google camera. Not at all elegant and it takes a few extra seconds to launch but it worked!
I did a quick search and couldn't find anything on it. I'm looking for a custom lock screen that's compatible with the sense gestures. Mainly holding volume up and putting the phone in landscape to auto open the camera. I was using ZUI locker but it still requires me to swipe/unlock my phone before the camera launches, even when using no security.
Does anyone know of customizable lock screens compatible with this feature?
I've downloaded the latest gcam port and it works great on my RN8, problem is I cannot launch it with any of the default shortcuts, double press on power or double vol down press.
I can make it the default camera app through MIUI but it has no bearing on launching it as default camera app so in effect making it the default app is pointless.
The lockscreen camera button doesn't lauch it eaither despite again being the default app?
Any ideas anyone, anyone, Bueller, Bueller....................??

Really, 190 odd views & nobody out there knows??
If you disable the stock cams app so it leaves gcam as the only camera app would it make any difference , Just guessing as i have a moto G7 power

MIUI explicitly calls the stock camera, even if GCam is set as default the stock camera (com.android.camera) will be started.
Your best bet is to install a custom AOSP based ROM.
