more shortcuts

[I Understand I Exist]

dear all,

earlier, i had an idea

what if we could make shortcuts that are persistent in the notifications menu 

sadly i lost interest in programing the minute i got accepted in medicine college

do u think this could actually work if it is i can give it a shot

[Ivan]

can you explain yourself better?

[I Understand I Exist]

what if we can make some nitifcations that cant be cleared and when clicked at, will do actions

[speeduploop]

Why?

A normal app is simpler to create, doesn't need more key-presses to start and doesn't pollute the notices view.

--> so much cleaner experience...

well its just a thought, but if u recall, old symbian phones had lots of shortcuts that made using them really really easy, if seen this launcher app here, if one can make it appear first thing without going to the apps drawer, that will save us huge time

well, ihave this idea, if i can integrate both custom launcher app and enable stuff app i can improve something on my phone

[AdvancedHACKERniV1]

Are you talking about the widgets that we could interact with and customize to our needs ?

And are you talking about "EnableStuff" app ?

[I Understand I Exist]

yup, exactly like that but simpler

[AdvancedHACKERniV1]

You mean just simple plain shortcuts accessible via the homescreen ?

And I don't understand how "EnableStuff" comes here into picture.

heres what i have in mind, note that these pics are photoshopped hoping that they would make it clear
i needed the enable stuff app to get codes from it and use them in custom launcher

You can use the "Settings API" to enable and disable stuff.

List of the different things you can do with the API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/B2G_OS/Platform/Settings_list

you can set your own shortcuts in launcher.gaiamobile.org .app
