Android - How do you skip the PIN to go directly to the camera from the lock screen?

There is no way in Android to access to the standard Android camera from a password-protected device. However this little application allows to access to a simple camera with a triple press on the power button even when the device is password locked...

Camera Unlock (free)

Disclosure: I am the developer of this app

You can do it by following these steps... I just did it I have an S3 Rooted, running 4.1.2

• Root your phone
• Install Xposed Framework
• Install the Enable Camera on Lockscreen Module

I am using Microsoft's Next Lock Screen which displays app links on the lock screen. I have a swipe pattern lock set, but tapping the camera app icon goes directly to the camera app on my Galaxy S4 running Android 4.4.2. Other apps require unlocking before loading.
