Maybe I'm just being dumb, but how do you get the creative effects icon to appear on the home screen? The ar one can be put there but I can't see how to put the creative effects one on there?

ok, I found a workaround, but it requires you to either use Nova Launcher as your default launcher or at least have it installed (I think the free version should be sufficient, but I'm not 100% sure). also keep in mind that it only allows you to put the icon on the homescreen, NOT IN THE APP DRAWER.

first, install Nova Launcher if you don't use it already https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher

after you installed it, do the following steps:

if your default launcher is Xperia Home:

1. long press on the wallpaper
2. go to Shortcuts
3. tap Activities. a list of available activities will appear and it might take a few seconds to load
4. scroll down until you find Creative effect and tap it. a subposition called Creative effect (.ArtFilterCameraActivity) will appear. tap it, and the shortcut should appear on your homescreen.

if your default launcher is already Nova:
1. long press on the wallpaper
2. tap Widgets
3. on the very top you should have a horizontally scrollable Nova Launcher section, scroll on it to the right to find Activities shortcut. press and hold it, and then drag it to your homescreen
4. a list of available activities will appear and it might take a few seconds to load
5. scroll down until you find Creative effect and tap it. a subposition called Creative effect (.ArtFilterCameraActivity) will appear. tap it, and the shortcut should appear on your homescreen.
