On Android we have the possibility of adding all kinds of widgets, like the ones I mentioned yesterday, and they are very good to have. the best information on screen. Another of those extra features are the shortcuts to certain contacts or system settings, among many other things, which allow us to be more efficient for certain tasks that we usually do every very little time.
Today we have two apps that will take charge of taking the customization of shortcuts to another level, such as More Shortcuts and Shortcut Customizer. These have the main objective of being able to add everything whatever one wants as a shortcut, so that apps, files, activities and contacts can be accessed quickly.
More Shortcuts
One of the best apps available in the Play Store to add shortcuts without having to dive through the options of widgets to add them manually, which is just one of the ways to use them.
The app allows you to create shortcuts to content that you have in the internal memory. Let's say we have a video presentation and we want to have access precisely on the desktop, so we don't have to waste any time, and thus present it to the client, the app is responsible for creating that shortcut.
We look for the video, the app asks for the icon to select and the name that we want to give the shortcut. Once this is done, the icon will be automatically added to one of the desktop screens. The icon can be changed and you can even download icon packs if we wanted to customize it.
Other of its virtues is the ability to deactivate / activate connections, create web bookmarks and what would be the light of the camera flash, without forgetting the number of activities that we can access to customize it as we want.
Shortcut Customizer
Shortcut Customizer is an app simpler in use. We can add shortcuts to apps, files, bookmarks and contacts. This application comes explicitly to add contacts and emails to the desktop screen.
A simpler app as I have mentioned and that have great functionality to perform a copy of the created shortcuts, so that we can move them to another desktop, if we were in the event that we have changed the launcher or app launcher.
Two apps that speed up the task of creating shortcuts. Some shortcuts that we can create us manually from widgets in certain custom layers, but surely, Short Customizer and More Shortcuts save time in different steps. If you are a fan of customizing your desktop, you will surely find them very useful.
Hola!
Friend, I am a programmer in client server architecture systems and I usually create responsive applications. I would like to have a service that will enter a url and an icon, and that service will generate a downloadable play-store.
My users would enter the play-store, download that downloadable and the downloadable would be a direct access to the url and would have the assigned icon.
That way I would avoid having to create an app, which consumes memory and other problems.
