[Q] Changing the camera app in the lockscreen? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm running Android 4.2.2 (RomAur) on my Xperia Z. When I first configured the lockscreen, I defined the Sony camera applicaition as the camera to use on the lockscreen.
Since, I have installed the JB 4.3 camera application and would prefer to use this one, as it starts faster.
However I cannot find where I can change the camera application used by the lockscreen. I tried freezing the Sony app with Titanium Backup but the lockscreen does not ask back for another camera app, it just doesn't do anything.
I found in TB a "Lockscreen" application. I deleted the data for this app but it did not change anything at all, it's still the Sony app used.
I could not find a reference to the Camera app in the DefaultApp application either.
Any idea? Thanks!

[Q] My Gallery and Camera fails after JB update. How to fix?

After the Verizon OTA JB update (4.1.2), My Gallery will not open. It just says "Error while launching application." The default camera app does the same thing.
Third party apps (LittlePhoto and Camera ZOOM FX) seem to be working fine, and I am looking for a good Gallery app in case I cannot get this fixed.
I tried clearing data/cash for Gallery app. I found somewhere that this was supposed to fix this problem. It didn't.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

i would just wipe data in recovery
you will need to backup, texts, call logs, contacts… if you want to save
how to.. in my list

Really hoping there is an easier way to fix this. Looks like several people have the problem (judging by a google search), but no solutions yet.
Motorola's "My Gallery" was removed by the update and replaced with Google "Gallery" app.
If My Gallery is still listed (and tied to the camera) it sounds like your install didn't install completely or you restored things after the update.
You may want to flash the JB fastboot files, factory reset and reconfigure.
That was it! Looks like the camera app was also replaced. I was using App Manager. It kept the "links" to the old apps in the icon folders. After removing the old camera and gallery icons, and then adding the new ones, everything works fine.
Thanks tcrews!

If you are experiencing problem, maybe you shouldnt delete those apps.

Fixed it by deleting the data for the Xperia Home App, and i got my phone from Egypt, the latest one we have here is .334
Okay turns out that if you set the app drawer to auto organize (Most used, recently installed, etc) you lose the folders functionality all you need to do is just set it to ''My Order''.
i dont find the word my order ; i cant find it at alllllllllllllllllllllllll how to get in it plz help me.I have been trying for days to find the my order choice, i dont find it, everyone talks about it but i dont find it at alllllllllllllll damn it
someone shows me with pics plz

Camera app disappearing each reboot?

Okay guys so earlier today I tried to take a picture with my razr i but the camera button wasn´t working so I decided to enter from the launcher. I couldn´t find the camera icon (Im using a custom launcher but it is not in the hidden apps). Used pixlr express to take the picture and it reads "No camera application found. Your camera may be disabled". I checked and the camera is NOT disabled.
I had been using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206206 for a few months without any problems so I had a backup from MotCamera.apk and MotCamera.odex and if I move them to /system/app I can use it, but when I reboot it dissapears again!
any help would be appreciated thanks in advance

[Q] Voice Dialer app?

Guys, when I updated to kitkat, 4 months ago, i noticed that the voice dialler app had disappeared...was this the same with your phones?
And now, ive downloaded the Xperia Z kitkat update FTF and i found that in priv-app folder there is the voice dialler app...so i installed it to my phone, its installing, when i press it, its kinda starting...but it just crashes on the screen, no errors, just hangs...so my point is, if xperia Z has it on kitkat update, why xperia Z1 doesnt have it? And another question, can You please check out your walkman widget...do you have just one widget, or two different (the one from Z2, and i guess the old one without the song progress bar)...is it the just me who has this duplicates (error or something)

z1 camera orientation

hello there,
i just had an issue with an camera icon which stupidly was placed somehow underneath my dock at the homescreen.
i decided to try uninstalling the camera app so the shortcut would be removed, saved the app with titanium backup though in order to reinstall it via backup.
unfortunatelly the camera now has wrong orientation so when im in normal orientation it only shows half of the screen as if i would be in landscape mode.
i installed a camera app from google store to test if this would act normal but it doesnt as well.
any idea how to fix this ?
thanks
hey i fixed it by restoring philz backup , still would be interesting to know about the cause of this issue because i had this with my note 3 also until i flashed another rom.

Find an app that's can lock apps rotation and set it to landscape. I had the same problem
Same thing happen to me start last night, I tried few different camera app, works fine in google's camera app, word lens, but camera zoom is same problem as sony's camera app.
my guess is that one of the rotation function didn't able to call the position function, not able to reset or clear the memory,
is there a way to reset the camera app? I don't think restore backup will fix it, if the backup is already went bad.
