shortcut to in app option topic

Hi, I'm using https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...skiplock&hl=en this app. And in this app when I go to setting I can enable it or disable it. Is there any way to make a shortcut or widget on home screen to automatic turn on and off this?

[Q] Missing dropbox shortcut and bookmark widgets? topic

Usually, I can install a widget into the home page that is a shortcut into a specific dropbox folder, but it doesn't seem to appear in the list of widgets on the Z1 Compact using the stock launcher. (Yes, I have installed dropbox.:p) Also, there isn't a single icon bookmark shortcut listed amongst the widgets, possibly because the Z1C doesn't ship with the stock Android browser? Any ideas on either of these? Thanks!

[APP] Advanced Settings Shortcut topic

***ADVANCED USERS ONLY***

This app allows you to create shortcuts for any system setting on your device.
Please only purchase this app if you have a basic knowledge of Android setting storage.

Change any checkbox preference, list preference, or color preference for your ROM that has a system setting link.

For example:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andro.../Settings.java
https://github.com/ParanoidAndroid/a.../Settings.java
Here lie some settings projects with values you can use if you're running these respective roms.
"quiet_hours_haptic" > checkbox ? Yes.
And each click will cycle the setting on/off.
Or, you can input "quiet_hours_haptic" > checkbox ? No > 1
To turn the setting ON no matter what state it's in.


Currently, SECURE settings are unsupported.
Only SYSTEM settings will be accepted.
An update will come at a later date to request root access to those users who can access it and want SECURE setting shortcuts.


A donate version is available via the Play Store. Currently both versions are the same.

[Q] WiFi Tether Shortcut? CM 10.2 topic

This is my first post on XDA!

I installed CM 10.2 yesterday on my DNA and the built in tethering app is working great.. but its buried in the menus. I would really like to have it available on the pull down screen or quick menu. Is this available stock or would I need an apk customization?

Or is this available in ViperDNA or CM 11 ?

Thanks

[Q] Shortcut Shutdown Screen topic

Hi,

I'm currently using Nova Launcher which has a settings to remap the home button when on the homescreen.
You can map it to a Nova settings, an app or a shortcut.

I currently have it mapped to a Secure Settings shortcut that lock my phone.

The issue I'm having with this settings, it's that it does not respect the delay locking option I have set on my security settings (5 min).

I'm looking for a way to map the home button to something that would shutdown the screen but respect the locking delay like the real power button does.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks.

How can I let my user create a shortcut to an app, into my app (like a launcher)? topic

I can't for the life of me find ANYTHING written about how to create a shortcut to an app. All over stackoverflow it's just about having ones app get created as a shortcut onto users own launcher.

I want the user to be able to click my button which opens a dialog, in where the user can then select an app of their choosing, rename the shortcut and lastly hit the "Ok" button which should then let that app sit in my apps fragment until the user decides to remove it.

How would I go about doing this?

Shortcut to Restart Nova topic

I've searched high and low, and posted in the Nova forums, but haven't received an answer, so I thought I'd try here, where I hang out the most and know that there are some people with exceptional expertise. Does anyone know how to create a shortcut to restart Nova? I can't find the intent in the manifest. Thanks
