Camera Widget?

AzimB — Mon, 07 Mar 2016 04:37:53 GMT

Previous Z phones had a camera Widget I could add to the home screen where I could add up to 4 shortcuts for different camera modes (4K, timeshift etc...)

Is this camera Widget not available on the Z5 Premium? It takes forever to navigate to 4K mode because no shortcut can be added.

@AzimB

Yeah that's true, can't find it on my Z5 too. Not sure if it was there before Camera v2 update though.

Hi Guys,

Try this to see if you can find it.

Tap on any part of the empty space on your home screen > Widget.

See if there is an Option named at Shortcuts > Camera > Select any of the camera mode you want. Then it should add the shortcuts mode to your homescreen.

Hope this is what your looking for or something similar to this.

@Bandolero @AzimB

Looks like a viable solution, managed to get 4K shortcut on my homescreen.

Or u can try with this one and see if it works http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sony-mobile-communications/camera-widget/camera-widget-2-0-a-5-1-release/camera-widget-2-0-5-1-android-apk-download/

But Bandoler via seems better, right now, to work properly I think with latest Camera 2.0

The Solution by Bandolero doesn't work for me. I can only add a shortcut for camera, at effect and time lapse. There is no 4k option on my Z5 Premium

Thank you Robertods! That fixed it, that's the exact thing I was looking for.
