Help Q: Galaxy Nexus Camera mod..

So I have a question regarding the stock camera on the Galaxy Nexus. I have an unrooted device and I would like to know if someone can tell me how I can change the default stock camera that opens when I unlock the phone using slide. In other words, I want to be able to open a camera app of my choice when I slide my finger to select the camera and not open the stock camera.. I tried to find a way to do this but I can't seem to have any luck. I hope my question is clear and someone out there is able to assist!

Thanks and happy googling! :D
 
Use an app called Widget Locker to make your own lockscreen. That makes it really easy.

On my lock screen, I've got a big clock at the top, a music controller widget in the middle for the Uber Music app. Then for my slider on the bottom half of the screen-- up is change ringer mode, right is unlock, left is toggle tesla led (flashlight app made by the same company), and down launches a camera app called Camera ICS+. I've got that camera configured to not play a shutter sound and to take a picture when I press a volume key. So if I want to take a picture really quickly (which happens a lot), all I have to do is hit the power button to wake up the phone, slide my slider down, then hit a volume key.

I also changed the camera icon on the slider to a white shutter that matches the style of the others using Widget Locker's options. The slider option that I'm using is the ICS one.
