Adding more home screens - Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers

In my previous Xperia phones, I was able to add or remove home screens by pressing and holding on a blank area of a home screen and scrolling to the end and pressing the "+".
I don't seem to have this option in the Xperia 1ii - does anyone know how to add extra screens (if it's even possible)?
THanks

That worked perfectly! Thank you so much for that.
Is there a way to get an extra screen to the left? (So that it can scroll left and right from the main home screen) Or, alternatively, set a particular home screen as the "main" home screen?

No

It would be awesome if vol-up+vol-down started the camera and if powerbutton was the Button you capture with

Anybody up to the task?
Don't understand what you are talking about
You can do it with Tasker with Volume buttons. You'll lose zooming capability though.
Camera zoom app can do it without and problem.
Now where is my bounty

Ho-ho-hold up one second there.
Please elaborate!!
You modded this?
Does the camera need to be running in the backround in order for this to work correctly?
Due to the current situation where the camera takes several seconds to start, I have a sneaking suspicion...
I'm not the type to photograph everyone and everything.
Still, the camera is at the top of my list when it comes to apps you need quick access to.
Since this would only be useful for that superquick shot, I would keep my camera shortcut just a gesture away.
Anxiously awaiting reply:fingers-crossed:
How does it work please? I mean does the screen have to be off from camera app and then vol down takes the picture. No other way? I was hoping to have the power button focus and / or take the picture / start/stop video rec while and only while the camera app is active.

So.. if it works without being a backround process, this might also be stable in stamina mode?
Or am I just talking out of my a**?
Take your time, this is potential gold

I support this and am willing to join this "donnation" team.
Hello,
I have a good and a bad news:
The good
Just finish a bêta version of the MOD
no fast capture on standby mode for the moment...but I'm working on it
The bad
Sony set the capture action only if (focus + camera) button are press together
So you need to press volume UP for focus...and volume DOWN to take the picture.
I'm working on it in order to find how to remove this condition
Installation:
Just replace SemcCameraUI.apk in /system/app with rw-r--r-- permission and reboot

guess you cant put two actions on the same button ? ^^
And it won't be possible to lock the button as pressed until you press another button, and after button is pressed change the action of the button ?

Loosen option : home button for default page

Hi,
I'm about to be crazy, because I've loosen an option.
I just want a simple thing : that the home button goes to the default page on nova (null 23).
I've selected the nova option / button / default page (and the option 'only screen... ' ticked and not ticked) .
but when the watch is off, I press home button once and it goes to the last screen, another press and it goes to default page.
I remember an option where It was possible to select 'last page' or 'clock' but I can't find it anymore...
Could you help me?

Home Button and search feature

Hi, is it possibile to link the long pressure on home button to the action to open a duckduckgo search? I'm on Miui 9 (globerom on Mi5), i know that under Nova Launcher there's this feature that i find very useful.
Thanks

EMUI 9 Gestures sucks?

I was ao excited for Android 9 but right after updating to EMUI 9, I was disappointed to see how pathetic and useless is back button gestures, especially when you are on a keyboard screen. Is it just me or you guys think so too?
1) it is difficult to get used to this stupif "back" gesture.
2) it is slow.
3) No quick switching between 2 apps instantly?
Will they fix it in future updates or we are stuck with this forever?
I have to agree on this issue. Gestures on EMUI 9 are really bad. I've stayed with "button bellow screen" gestures.
1. It is really difficult to use "back" gesture especially when using any kind of phone case.
2. Using "back to homescreen" gesture firstly shows recent apps and then moves to homescreen ...
3. No quick switch between 2 apps - that's truly bad.
4. Missing gesture to move "left <-> right" in recent menu with a finger
2. No. I does take you directly to home screen, by swiping up without any pause. (If I understand your issue correctly)
4. Thanks for reminding me that.
5. Keyboard is at such low bottom, it becomes difficult to type (sometime).
I wish they could have copy pasted Apple's gesture. Easy life!
I like them very much actually...

In pie EMUI9 is it still SwiftKey? If I remember well you can resize and move keyboard in settings SwiftKey.

It work awesome. All I miss is switching between app like on ios or zuk z2 pro ui with finger print front. Sad EMUI 9 doesn't have a such function.

YES! But I am not talking about keys on top rather KEYS on the buttom. Like SPACE key and other buttons are so close to the bottom end. Apple has a better Implementation (by sliding down the emoji icons etc). Don't you think?
P.S: I'm on Gboard.

Hi! That is google assistant.
Hmmm the new gestures are a bit tricky aren't they but I quite like them so I'll persevere a bit, else there's plenty of other navigation methods to choose from.
People says the gestures don't work that well when using Nova Launcher.
Anyway, you should try Fluid Navigation Gestures, you can customize it as you wish!

In my opinion, if there is anything this front mounted fingerprint reader/home button is good for it's the "off-screen navigation key" - removes unnecessary icons from the screen making it cleaner and works like a charm. Using it since day 1 with this phone and prefer it over the new gestures.
I can't say the new gestures are really bad, I believe one can get used to them, although the swipe right/left for "back" is tricky if you are using a bulky case (Otterbox etc.)
I'm using Nova Launcher and the Pie gestures are broken. It always shows the recent apps first when exiting from an app. That should really be fixed...
