I use System Settings » Security » Privacy Guard quite often (cynaogenmod 11). So I would like to add a shortcut to that on my home screen. How do I do that?
(I would appreciate if there is a way to do this without a 3rd party app)
Download Launcher 3 from KitKat (CM11) ROM....this stock launcher has this as an inbuilt feature....
now i am on cyanogenmod 11. how do i add the Privacy Guard shortcut to my home screen?
not possible? is there at least an xposed module for this?
I Know this is old but it can be done know with app called quickshortcutmaker. Install through google play store, open and search for privacy. This will bring up a few setting process that can be created as shortcuts. You can also try the shortcut before creating so you know it will work. The correct process to create the shortcut is call $AppOpsSummaryActivity

Is there some kind of trick to get the setting to enable "notification access" for an app? In the system settings this is not available... I have root.
*Update*
After searching and trying, i found a solution for myself
You need an app that creates a shortcut to an activity.
I used Nova Launcer and created a shortcut to Settings$NotificationAccessSettingsActivity.
maybe with Xposed? i tried with an app from play store but no luck

Thank you man. I also used the Nova Launcher Shortcut. Locate it by long tapping, selecting widgets, selecting Shortcut and then scrolling down to the Settings Activity Notification Access Option.
This method also allowed me to access "Apps with usage access" using the Settings$UsageAccessSettingsActivity. Thank you!
By the way, initially I was having issues adding widgets/shortcuts to the Nova Launcher homescreens. If anyone else is having this issue, it can be solved by installing/converting Nova Launcher to a System app. Apparently this grants it some additional otherwise inaccessible permissions by default. Cheers!
Hello guys
Before my new XZ1compact running Oreo, i was able to create URL shortcuts using app like "website shortcut" and choose a nice picture as icon.
IT seems it no more possible to use such app with Oreo ( noted on website shortcut app website) :
"NOTE: due to a change within Android functionality, Android Oreo (8) does not seem to support the shortcut creation service that this app relies on. A solution is in the works, but will require some time."
Can you please tell me a way to do it or do i have to wait for devellopers to update their application ?
Thanks in advance.
In Chrome navigate to the url you want to add a shortcut to, then in the menu choose "add to homescreen".
That should do what you're asking.
Hello Ohbkid
You're right, this method works to just add a shortcut but you cannot choose shorcut icon; it also works with Edge for android.
this is Something i want to do and i could do using "website shorcut" app in the past.

Sorry, does not seem to work on Oreo and Samsung S7. The possibility to make a shortcut on the homescreen is still there in the Chrome browser, but nothing appears on the homescreen. Is this again some security issue in Oreo 8.
url shortcut create on oreo
so, is there a working way to create a url shortcut on homescreen with oreo or not?
thanks
Tom
Absolutely not and impossible. Discovered that it might also have to do something with the launcher you're using. Really, aside from other issues this Oreo is giving me I deeply regret ever having updated to Oreo. What about this adaptive icons problems ??
PSA/Guide - How to set custom tones in Gmail, hide "running in background.."
The solution is not my own, I found a post where someone tried to hide a running process notification. But it gave me an idea. And boy, was I correct.
So, what's the fuss about?
Apparently, Huawei's skin (EMUI) loves to not only change how Android works, but it also hides some functions. Such function is custom notification tones for accounts in Gmail. And the option to hide "running in the background" notification.
How do you get this function back?
- Use an activity launcher, or a custom Launcher like Nova.
- Open "Settings", and look for "App notifcations" (".Settings$NotificationAppListActivity").
This will grant you ALL the options you might be missing from pure AOSP/Android.
- tested and confirmed on EMUI 8.1 (GPU Boost update)
How to set Gmail tones?
1) Open Gmail from the new Activity
2) Tap your account you want to modify
3) ???
4) Profit
How to hide running...
1) Tap top-left "..."
2) Show system processes
3) find Android System
4) ???
5) Profit!
What? Sorry but your instructions are as clear as mud.
Hoo boy, I was going to write a guide explaining how to access notification importance and the Do Not Disturb override from EMUI. When I wrote the title, XDA found this thread as similar.
If you're on EMUI and you're looking desperately for how to set an app's notification importance (urgent, high, normal or low), and set it to override do not disturb settings, follow the steps in the OP! If you need a specific activity launcher, you can download Activity Launcher from Google Play (unfortunately I didn't find the app on APK Mirror).
Thnx for the tip!!
Download App Shortcut Maker, search for the activity needed and create a shortcut.
After June update it seems i cant deactivete the calendar events from showing in at a glance.
When i go to the laungher settings and press "at a glance" i cant get the further settings. When i press on the calendar events for "at a glance" i can get a "preferences shortcut" but if i press it does not open the "preferences".
Is this a bug?
thnks
Not working as well , probably a bug.
I have this issue since may update, maybe even before it since I rarely look at it.
I am completely unable to access at a glance on my homescreen in any way possible.
My intent to access it was to disable it so that I could use a better, third party widget, but I am unable to access it. I have tried accessing it from the preferences tab when you long press on the widget, I've tried accessing it through the home settings. I've even wiped all the data from my launcher (I am using the default quickstep launcher) but I'm still unable to access it. Please help.
I can rise an external launcher as they don't work with android P's app switcher and recents integrations so I'm stuck.
Hi guys,
I can not create any shortcut on my homescreen
I try to create website shortcut from Chrome, file shortcut from filemanager, file shortcut from Google Drive - there is always the same message:
"Chrome" Create a Home Screen Shortcut has been prohibited. You can modify this in "Settings - Security - App Permissions"
...but of course I can not... I've enabled all possible permissions for Chrome, X-plore, gDrive... but I still can not create shortucut
do you have any idea what and where I should enable?
I use newest official ColorOS V7 build number RMX1931_11_C.25_8eb00261
