Wow, camera shortcut in lock screen? Are you sure? I never had those, hope none had. Can open camera from lockscreen but i think shortcuts can be placed. Are you using stock launcher?

Yes this can be done with stock launcher. (.350)
Does not work on pin, only on swipe to unlock. (So no code has to be entered to gain acces to the device.)
Music and Camera will be present there.
Sadly I could not find a way to remove or add things to help the OP.
Kind regards, Stefan.

The camera shortcut won't show up if you have a security lock screen on. Only if you have the swipe lock screen.
Is that your issue?

Not shortcut, as in a shortcut like you place on your home screen. It's part of Sony sleep-to-snap feature. There is a camera icon on the lock screen (on the right of the time display) that you can swipe left to directly launch camera (without unlocking your phone and accessing it from the menu/home screens). This makes it possible to capture those shots that only last a moment.
On the left side of the time display is the music icon. You drag that to the right to access music controls.
Checkout the screenshots below (they are Xperia V, but thanks to Sony's unified UI, looks the same). Hope this helps. If it does, hit thanks.

Open the camera app and go onto the settings and enable Quick Launch, that should do the trick.

You are right cassywilliam
I had the same. I have found that when I upgraded the software it came back again and then disappeared again after a few days (I think this had to do with utilizing an 'Exchange' email account. I have now deleted the Exchange account (which has various security conditions attached to it) and then basically messed around in the security settings for setting to swipe (with quick launch activated in the camera) and then back to PIN and the camera in the lock screen is back again!!! Its been there and stable for several weeks now... give it a go!

About shortcuts
Does anybody know how to add some shortcuts to the 'Home Button'? When you longpress the 'Home Button' you have a shorcut to Google Search, can you add more shortcut to that ring?
Thanks

Yeah, I would be curious to know if the lock screen shortcuts can be customised, too!

How to remove the softkey on the screen?

I had read that having the root there was a way to make invisible buttons mangiaschermo ... My problem is for gaming, although I do not use the phone to play every now and then maybe play some games or do I try a few friends it seems really ridiculous to see those buttons that display even eat because it's not that reduce the resolution but cover their a part of the display ... For example, if there is a small detail to the right of the screen will be covered by the keys and you will not see;
Solution?? thanks
P.s Sorry for english but I use google translate to hurry!

wrong section. should be in Q&A

GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys
you can get it directly on the Google Play Store
obviously you have to root your smartphone

There are several ways. I use cm10 which has expanded desktop option. Exposed framework can be used or edit build prop. Check the link

The best of the best "GMD GESTURE CONTROL " Is wonderfull, guys

use FullScreen Toggle and LMT, be sure your phone is rooted

First instal LMT Launcher (free) and then go to system/build.prop open and add qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 save and reboot. I used it all the time since premiere.

Immersive mode web browser?

Can't find a web browser supporting immersive mode, I don't want to root or use a custom ROM.
Is it possible? I think it would be nice to hide buttons and do some browsing in real full screen mode
Thanks

i have no idea what you want exactly... but i disable chrome on all my phones and only use firefox. and it is as free of clutler as you can get.
and even if not enough for you, there is the fullscreen add-on that removes even the action bar buttons from the OS

Immerse mode means use the whole screen hiding the buttons at the bottom of the screen, one application that uses it is YouTube or even Gallery.

I'm rooted so I don't know if this works: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.ppareit.immersivemode

There are plenty of ways to do this with root. Sadly, I don't know of any ways to do this without root.

I've got immersive mode couple time when using chrome but I have no clue what I did to make it happen. It randomly happen

guys, already said... install Firefox and then the full screen mobile add on.
when you long press a page there is a menu ... it has some bugs... eg when you leave the app and come back you have to reenter full screen. but besides that it does what you want.

edit, OK just noticed it does not remove the bottom buttons... they just become dots... not sure i like that way more or less... i think i like having access to home and back buttons at all times

Javelin has it by default

Just root man, just root, and disable those awful on screen nonsense permanently and switch to Pie. Make use of the screen estate, everywhere.

[Q] Annoying soft touch keys.....

As the title suggests, the soft touch keys can be annoying sometimes, especially while playing games they use the screen and tapping them by mistake is very often. So, my request to the developer community is that can you make a mod/kernel so that games can use the full screen and the soft touch keys hide automatically like in some games they do.
(I'm not sure whether it was right to make a whole new thread about a not so major problem. If it is not appropriate, please inform me)

2 words : Immersive mode
You can Google to learn what it is and how to force an app to run in immersive mode...
And that's the easiest way instead of making a new kernel /rom and what not

It's easy to download gmd full screen immersive mode app on play store and it's free or if you can afford you also can buy gems auto hide soft keys

I have tried the app before. It's quite good. But we need to manually set it everytime before use, anyways thanks for replying.

It's got per app configuration so if you set it once and u can use that app in full screen mode

I can't see the option......

I don't use it but it's written in app description look in play store

Maybe Im using an outdated version.........will update and check it out.....

Also, the GMD app is filled with bugs like not responding, wallpaper changes on its own..not a good app....
