Description

What is the current behavior?

The Camera app takes pretty bad pictures. So I have installed a much better app [1][2]. I have no clean option to set the app correctly as default.

The first time I start the app it asks if I want to use the new app as default. After that everything works and the pictures are good. If I now want to start the app from the lock screen by double clicking on Power to take a snapshot, the app can't start because permissions are missing.
