I've been using my z1 for a week now and I'm loving it so far, but for some reason my camera shortcuts no longer work.
What I mean by this is that at the lockscreen, when I slide the top panel to the left, instead of going to the camera, it just displays a camera icon with a diagonal dash through it.
Also when I hold the dedicated camera hardware key, it vibrates but does not take me to the camera app.
Launching the camera from the launcher works however.
I'm wondering if there's a setting or something that I need to change.
Thanks!
P. S. My xperia is rooted - can't remember what with, but it's the English one that gives you "SuperSU"

Hi,
Anyone able to remove the camera shortcut from the bottom? That is the least function I even use on my "Phone"!
I can move it between the four position, I can put it in a folder but I can't remove it. I would love to put my gmail there instead (along with phone, message and browser), I use gmail 1000 times more then the camera
This is the one bit about the one I don't like. The app draw is confusing. You have to go into the app draw. Long press on the app you want in the draw and drag it to the bottom.

I now find that it makes sense to organize the bottom shortcuts in the app drawer.. it's just a new feature for old souls to get used to, but I like it now.

It does take a couple of goes to get used to but I like the way htc have done it, it's good to be different.

Got it now. Thanks
I don't really like the new sense, sense 4.5 are much better...

I like how they implement it. Making it only removeable on the app drawer makes it more secure to accidental touches. I usually hold my phone when screen is on and there are times I get my homescreen messed up due to these long presses that moves it accidentally.
Custome shortcuts can't be added

The issue I've found with this, is that I can no longer add a custom shortcut that I've created from apps like Quickshortcutmaker. After creating a unique shortcut, it adds the shortcut to my home screen. From that point on, I cannot add it as a lockscreen shortcut, as that requires that I open up the app drawer (which does not show my custom shortcut).
I've been scrambling around to figure out how to add a custom shortcut. I don't think it's possible without rooting. On the HTC Evo LTE, etc.. I used to have a custom shortcut to the Voice Search feature to go directly there without having to click more than once.
As the title says, is there a way to change the app that's launched? I use the pro version of camera fx and it makes a huge difference for automatic pictures! It would be awesome to launch it with the camera button rather than a app icon on the home screen! Thanks in advance guys

Of course.
Just go to settings/app and find camera app (it's under "all" tab) and disable it.
Now press camera button and your app should start.
Many camera apps have option to set it as a default camera, are you sure there's not option there.
This advice should work - it worked on Xperia S and "better camera".

Can you be more specific about the difference bit ?
I've heard nexus 4 people say it helped with blur free shots as it reads the accelerometer and waits to get a steady shot.
Anything else ?
hm somehow that's not working for me. if i set camerafx to default i get no popup where im asked if i want to use it as default after i hit the camera button. its working when i disable the stock camera app - but only when my screen is on.
when the screen is off and i press the camera button i just get to see the homescreen but camera is not launching - i have to press the button again then.
any suggestions?
Not working for me either.. Still uses sony camera

I'm in the same boat as you mate, tbh i don't mind though just have to press it twice. Still allot easier than opening an app?

It just takes way longer that way. If you want to make a quick snapshot you're gonna lose the Moment.

Yeah it has a really good stable shot mode that waits for the best time to take the photo, but tbh the automatic mode is set to 20mp by default and just takes better shots with way less noise!
What app are you guys exactly talking about? Pro Camera FX? Camera Zoom FX?

so did anyone manage to launch another cam than stock by pressing the camera button "once"?
this is really bugging me, i tried everything. installed default app manager, set cam fx default and disabled stock cam. still if the screen is off i have to press the button twice. (first press gets me to homescreen and i need to press it a 2nd time to launch cam fx).
Please Help
Ok, i have had a problem. The dedicated camera button is to sensitive on my Xperia Z1 so it just launches the camera by itself, and in my pocket, which is very annoying. I have tryed to disable the camera and then it don't launch the camera, but it unlocks the screen and vibrates. And if i am in snapchat or any other camera app it just randomly takes a photo because of the button. So is there any way to disable the button completely? i have a rooted Xperia and my bootloader unlocked. Please help me!
Hi.
Does anyone know is to possible to set camera in manual mode by default when launching via camera button or lock screen shortcut ?
It's launching as I want only when I tap the camera app from the drawer. When launching from lock screen or dedicated button it always start in this crappy auto mode.

I think such a thing (if possible) can only be done with root.
It's also annoying me, but it's been like that on all previous phones.

well, I just got mine and on one of the home screens I have a whole row just for the camera. There I can pus a little "settings" button in the far right corner and I can select which camera shortcuts to have there, one of them is "manual". Have you seen that?

He means when using the camera button.
It always starts with superior auto. When starting the camera through the app, it does remember your settings.
So I have to wait for some nice custom rom fixing this issue

On the Z1C, this couldn't be changed with root as well, so I guess we'll have to live with that. Maybe Android L fixes this.
Any news on this having root already on our devices?

An update recently came out, called Lollipop, and I guess it fixed that issue as seen on the preview.

This issue has not been fixed. I'm also still looking for a way to disable superior auto mode and always start the camera in manual mode when pressing the hardware camera button.
Hello there, I tried it with the xposed module xposed additions pro, but even after several tries I had no luck. I'm rooted on stock 5.1 and I'm sure there is a way to change the behavoir of the long press action of the camera key but I didn't find it yet as I'm very new to this phone. Let's share experiences!
cheers!
This is what the camera looks like. taking up less space than usual. also none of the camera buttons / options work, i can only take photos with volume keys. cant change to front camera or adjust any settings
(Camers isnt using whole screen, the entire thing takes up only the top right corner.
Lastly, the bottom left touch button to flick between open apps/ programs isnt working either, and keyboard occasionally freezes.
And idea how to fix?
I rooted and using XPOSED.

Try app settings and change the resolution to the size of your screen and that should fill up the screen, not sure about your button problems
Hi,
I'd like to implement a camera shortcut other than the stock one with the volume rocker, as that is really awkward when trying to adjust volume.
On LineageOS and stock Samsung S7 software, you can set double press home to launch the camera. On most android phones you can use a double press of the power button.
Can either of these things be activated on the P20 Pro through and app or module?
I really miss that feature.
A workaround would be using for example "Edge Gesture" . You can configure different gestures on the edges to open up the Camera App or any other App. For example whenever I hold the right display edge for 1s, it will open up the camera.
I would also be interested in a solution involving physical buttons. But at least you won't miss the shot so easily anymore.
Hi,
I'd like to have a shortcut on my homescreen to e.g. pro-mode and monochrome. Alas, when long-pressing the camera app symbol, it only gives me choices I don't want. Is there any way to get other camera modes as shortcuts apart from those?
greetings
