My device is rooted also granted su permissions to this app but still no shortcut are working.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Nope, please read my post carefully.

The shortcut that requires ROOT: still works fine inside the app, but it cannot work from the home screen.

The shortcut that does NOT requires root: can work inside the app and on the home screen also.
[Android Apps and Games] thahim:
So that if device is rooted everything will work on homescreen or than also they wont?
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
I have said in the previous post. That's why I told you please read my previous carefully.

There are 3 possible cases, as below:

. . . . .

1- If the device is not Samsung Galaxy: almost all shortcuts can be launched without root permission. And almost all shortcuts can be launched from the home screen accordingly.

2- If the device is Samsung Galaxy: some shortcuts can be launched without root permission, while other shortcuts can only be launched with root permission.

2.1. If the shortcut can be launched without root permission, it can be added to the home screen without any problem.

2.2. If the shortcut can only be launched with root permission, it can be added to the home screen BUT cannot be launched from the home screen.

It is due to Samsung security policy, and currently there is no workaround yet.

I will do more study to find a workaround if it's possible.
[Android Apps and Games] thahim:
I get it now thanks. But how ro know which shortcuts need root and which don't?
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
OK, thank you for understanding.

When you create a shortcut in the list of Shortcut Master app, just tap on it to open, right?

If you don't see any message on the screen, that means this shortcut does not require root to be opened.

If you see a message "Shortcut Master has been granted superuser permission...", that means this shortcut requires root.

Please note that the above message comes from the SuperSU app. So if you disable the option to show notifications in the SuperSU settings, you will not see that message.
[Android Apps and Games] thahim:
I never got the super user toast but I do get warning toats from this app.

Hi, on some models, Samsung has disabled accessing to the service mode menu.

In that case, you have to root your phone to be able to access to those menu with the help of my apps

(you can use Shortcut Master app, or Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Secret Codes').

If you don't know how to root the phone, you can google it: how to root <your model name>...

If you need more help, please let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Yes, it is the know issue. Please see more details here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=59120447#post59120447

It seems that Samsung has strengthened its security policy since 1BOB7 version.

Currently there is no solution but I will try to look for a workaround.

I will let you know then.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Hi,

As I have stated in the app's description: "NOTE: Shortcut on the Home screen may NOT work on some custom launchers."

So it may not work on the custom launchers.

Sorry about that.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Hi,

My app's purpose is helping to launch a hidden activity and/or secret codes. And you have successfully launch that activity (ApnSettings).

I have no idea why that ApnSettings doesn't work as you expected, sorry.

Because that ApnSettings is LG related, you can consult people in the above video, or ask for support on a LG specific forum.

Sorry that I can't help you on that matter.

Solution for "Error type 2" message

If you got the "Error type 2" message (see the attached screenshot) when trying to launch a secret code (in the 'Secret Code Explorer' menu), you need to update SuperSU app to the version 2.49 (currently still Beta) or later, and also update its binaries.

Here is how:

- Download the zip file at http://download.chainfire.eu/740/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip

- Extract and get the Superuser.apk file from the 'common' folder inside it.

- Install Superuser.apk, it will ask to update the binaries to the latest version. Let it update.

- Reboot the phone.

I tryed full application on Huawei Honor 6 Plus. All OK, shortcut is added on homescreen, but when I press to shortcuts, „application not installed” is showed on screen.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Sorry for the inconvenience.

As I have stated in the app 's description, "Some system functions can not be created shortcut on the Home screen".

More specific, Some system functions - that are required root to run - cannot be created shortcut on the Home screen.

You can only create shortcut for the function that does NOT require root to run.

Currently there is no workaround for it. If I'll find one, I will fix it soon.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
I'm not familiar with that Fi dialer codes, but if that codes exist, they should be listed in the Secret Code Explorer menu.

If the code does exist, you can try to launch it by using one of the following methods:

1- Launch 0: broadcast the code with root permission.

2- Launch 1: same as Launch 0, without root.

3- Launch 2: simulate the dialing action *#*#CODE#*#*, as you dial it on the dialer pad.

4- Launch 3: same as Launch 2, with different prefix and suffix: *#CODE#.

The Launch0 method is the most powerful method but it needs root.

Do you have root access, and does the code exist in the Secret Code Explorer menu?
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Thank you for the detailed response.

I believe that it is due to device's security policy and for now I don't have solution.

I give some examples on Samsung devices for better explain:

- on Samsung device you can dial *#06# on the dialpad for displaying the IMEI. But you cannot launch this code using my app without root permission (only Launch 0 method works - that requires root, methods Launch 1-3 will not work).

- on other devices (not Samsung), you can dial the code *#*#4636#*#* on the dialpad. You can even launch this code using Launch 1, 2 methods in my app (without root). But neither of them work on the Samsung devices. On Samsung device you can only launch this code using Launch 0 method - that requires root.

All above are due to Samsung security policy. And currently there is no workaround.

I think it is also the case for Fi codes(?)
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Thank you for your suggestion. That would be a nice idea.

I will try to add a new Launch method (open the Dialer and also copy the code to the clipboard so that user can paste it into the Dialer) in the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
New update v1.2.0:

- When launch a secret code using 'Launch 2' and 'Launch 2' methods, also copy that code to the clipboard so that user can paste it into the dialpad (if the 'Launch 2' or 'Launch 3' methods don't work).

- Code optimization.

Many thanks for your great app. Works like a charm. However, I downgraded my device to KitKat (4.4.2) and with updated SuperSU 2.49 (even tried 2.50) I seem to get this error every time I try to launch any shortcut. I am rooted and all my apps work fine.

I tried version 1.1 and 1.2. Still doesnot seem to work for me on LG G Pad 8.3 while it works like a charm on Lollipop. (5.0.2)

This problem could be caused by SELinux. Using

runcon u:r:init_shell:s0 am broadcast...

should do the trick with SuperSu 2.46.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Thank you for the info.

Could you give me more details about it and give the full command?

What should be in the place of the "..."?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] hIVESaRELaW:
The su binary runs in the wrong context which prevents executing lots of commands like "am broadcast". With runcon You can execute a command in another context. Chainfire explained it pretty well: https://su.chainfire.eu/ (search for context or runcon).

Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact - Smart Rotate

Hello,

I want to create a shortcut to the "Smart Screen Rotation" toggle in the Settings>Display>Screen rotation menu on my Sony Xperia Z3 compact tablet. I found the shortcut in your app, "SmartScreenRotationMenu" with the path "com.sonymobile.intelligent.SmartScreenRotationMenu"

However, whenever I go to "Launch" it, I get the error: "/data/data/org/vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite/cache/run[2]: su: not found"

I don't have root access - is there a way around this?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Hi,

My app will "Launch" the shortcut in the "smart" way, i.e. at first it will try to launch the shortcut in the normal way without root permission. If the task fails due to the system requires root permission, it will launch the shortcut with the root permission. That is the way how the app works.

So once you get this error, you will need root to launch the shortcut. It is due to system policy, sorry.

[Android Apps and Games] fiver5:
This app has been a huge timesaver for some of my testing, wish I knew about it a long time ago.

By using Tasker (assuming you are rooted) there is a simple way to create root shortcuts. Create a new task, add action Code->Run Shell. Replace %Package/%Class with what you will see in the info of the local favorite inside of ShortCut Master

command: am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n "%Package/%Class"

Use root: true

Assign it an icon in tasker

Then create a desktop widget that is a tasker shortcut to that task.

[MENTION=2018502]vndnguyen[/MENTION], you could probably modify your app to create shortcuts that will launch requesting su permissions, then everything can be done from right in the app.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Thank you fiver5.

I know this command already but that way in fact you create a shortcut to Tasker app on the homescreen, not a shortcut to the app itself.

It is not a natural way to create a shortcut.

However it is a good solution to overcome the issue and I will try to implement it in the next update.

Once again thank you fiver5.

Hi,

I'm a normal user, I don't know advanced operations

I'd like to know if with this app I could make a shortcut to a sub setting Menu (or even better Enable/Dissable the following).

I suffer severe vision problems and my Note 4 with Android 4.4.4 sadly has no widget to make shirtcuts to sub settings menu (AT&T, Samsung SM-N910A. Also, there is no update to Android 5.x)

I need to make 2 shortcuts:

1- To Enable/Disable the Zoom/Screen Magnifier option at sub setting menu under Accessibikity

2- To Enable all S-Pen functions under its sub setting mrnu (because the Screen Magnification capability disables S Pen functions that I need to re-enable later

This is really ESSENTIAL for me when going out of home.

NOTE: I Tried with Lite version using the Caotyre option (auto and manual) briwsing to that sub setting menu BUT the shortcut created does not work.

ERROR SHOWN:

Secret_Code RILServiceMode error on Oreo and higher

On rooted Oreo phones with the latest SuperSU v2.82R5 using both Shortcut Master and Samsung Phone Info, there's an java.lang error when trying run any RILServiceMode commands like com.sec.android.RILServiceModeApp/<android_secret_code:0011:0>

https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4514309&d=1527711585

I've read on an FDroid developer changelog that the java.lang error can be ignored by the catch exexption, and it should work fine. Supposedly it's a non-fatal error.

"Ignore dumb java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException"

The app is called SuperFreezZ, and maybe you can get in touch with him to see if you could figure this issue out.

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/superfreeze.tool.android/

The normal ADB "broadcast" command doesn't work either for secret_codes, nothing pops up on the phone.

adb shell am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://0011

Broadcasting: Intent { act=android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE dat=android_secret_code://0011 flg=0x400000 }

Broadcast completed: result=0

While playing around with Logcat on a rooted G930U on Oreo, I've noticed that the android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE requires permission to the com.sec.factory.permission.KEYSTRING, which might be the key enabling it on newer Androids. Interestingly if I insert a 520K test dongle into the phone and go to the dialer, it enables a lot of normally non-working secret codes directly on the keypad (including *#27663368378#, *#22745927#, *#33725327#, etc. maybe it enables the factory keystring??)

Filter #5: BroadcastFilter{ac06490}

Action: "android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE"

Scheme: "android_secret_code"

AutoVerify=false

requiredPermission=com.sec.factory.permission.KEYSTRING

Not sure if it's just me, so if anyone has any solution sending the Secret_Code over ADB successfully on Oreo or higher, please let me know.

I miss those commands so bad. :(
