Quick Camera Access w/Nova Launcher Installed?

I want tb able to whip out my Galaxy Note - whose screen would be locked at that moment; make a gesture, push something, or whatever... and have the camera open and available for use.

One continuous motion.... whip it out and *Click!*.

Or am I just wishing?


(I think I see something if TouchWiz were my launcher... but it's not and I don't want to change from Nova...)
 
Use WidgetLocker for your lockscreen and add a camera shortcut to it. One short swipe - camera is open and ready.
 
3rd party lock screens
(or ones built in if custom rom)
will allow you to assign a action with a swipe =]

This is what I do. Plus you don't have to worry about your 3rd party lock screen and 3rd party launcher playing nice together since it is the same dev.
 
Use WidgetLocker for your lockscreen...
Settings > Security > Lock screen wallpaper seems like it only lets me change the image, not the functionality.

I see something called "EDT Tweaks", but it is not available in GooglePlay and that probably means I don't know enough to mess with it.

Can somebody aim me in the right direction for changing lock screens?

Oops... Now I see... You don't change lock screens. You install an app that changes the screen for you. "WidgetLocker" is the one I'm currently fooling around with.

I got it to open the camera, but the native password-pattern screen still keeps popping between clicking the WidgetLocker icon and the camera's coming up.

I'm guessing I will have to sacrifice the security of the password-pattern screen by somehow disabling it.
