Shady Camera Widget is the ultimate solution to situations like this, your entire camera is now a widget on your homescreen.

I LOVE the concept of this widget but I couldn't get it to work on my Samsung galaxy S5. If that changes, I will be back to buy the app.

App works well. Perfect if you need to take a discreet photo. As someone you likes to customize my home screen I wish there were different widget styles. When the stock widget conflicts with current design I end up removing it. Would have rated five stars otherwise.

Got all your products... All top notch! A suggestion though, maybe alternate widget icon options.

Samsung Galaxy Note (Stock ROM 4.0.3, rooted). Prompt and helpful response from developer. Crashes eliminated. New improved functionality. 5/5 stars!

This app is like the invention of viagra. Its intended as a spy cam but what makes it amazing is that it allows you to preview your scene and take pictures on the lock screen of a password protected phone without entering a password-NO ROOT NECESSARY! I'm using it with widget locker and its great! As it evolves I hope an option menu appears that allows positioning of the icon to the left, center, and right of the widget grid to help pretty up its position on the screen for when the camera is in not use.

Can you add video option, and 1x1 widget, just click and shoot without preview, and good to put in dock in Apex or Nova launcher...

Installed app, installed widget on home screen. When I hit the green checkmark button, it doesn't ever take a pic - it just changes the icon to the "waiting" circle, and never changes. Rebooted phone and it didn't help. ***Update - 5/23/13 - After the developer's reply to my original comment, I re-purchased. It works great! Love the app.

It engages my "shush" app every time i take a pic because it temporarily mutes sounds and then restores them... Could you work around this issue?

Works like a charm. Easily takes quick pictures from our homescreen without opening the camera app. Highly recommended to others. Well done.
