How to add shortcut for a playlist in my Redmi 3S Prime

[Rajeshkannan MJ]

Hi,

I have more than 3 versions bought for my different devices.  I really like it.  The main reason I bought it is the quick and easy way of playing playlists.  

Recently I installed in Samsung devices.  I had no issues in adding shortcuts to the home screen.

But with Redmi 3S prime, I could not find the shortcut for playlist widget.

This is what I did try.

1 I made a long press on home screen

2 I tapped on widget

3 Found Poweramp icon and tapped again

4 I see another 4 smaller icons.

5 I tried all of them, but none of them is working for playlist

6 All the icons (widgets) are made for some recent audio play only

Please give me idea or steps in adding them,

Thank you,

I think that problem in stock launcher. Try to another one, Nova for example.

You should see five options in the Poweramp Widgets list: 4x1, 4x2, 2x2, Large 4x4, and Poweramp Playlist (which generates a homescreen shortcut).

@andrewilley, Yes you are right about that.  But I see only 4 items.  

Moreover, I understand one more thing is that, the four things are widget and one missing thing in Redmi is the shorcut.  Do you have any idea how to add that please?

Thank you,

Though I could do it, I like the current launcher.  Thanks for the suggestion though,

If your phone/ROM (or launcher) is not displaying it, I can't suggest any way to change that I'm afraid.
