About this app

Shortcut Master is a powerful tool for creating, capture, searching... shortcut. It can reveal any hidden shortcuts, hidden secret codes... in your device.


You can create shortcuts for any hidden functions or secret codes, such as App Ops, *#*#4636#*#* (Testing menu), etc...


To start creating a shortcut, follow these simple steps:

1) Find the target by using one of the following tools (under the Menu):
- Secret Code Explorer
- App Explorer
- Search
- Capture Shortcut

2) You can test the target by opening it (Launch button).

3) Create the shortcut in the list (Favorite button) or on the Home screen. NOTE: Shortcut on the Home screen may NOT work on some custom launchers.

4) OR you can import the shortcut list into your app. Here is some sample shortcut lists for your convenience:

- Android Hidden Shortcuts (4.3): http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2872474&d=1406473157
- Samsung Hidden Shortcuts (Note 3): http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2872475&d=1406473157


* SECRET CODE EXPLORER:

Here you will get a list of all secret codes available in your device.
You can filter the list by All apps, System apps or User (downloaded) apps.

For each item in a list, the first line is the code, the second line is app name and the last one is broadcast receiver name.

By tapping on the item, a context menu appears that will let you launch the code, explore the app (that owns this code) and add this code to the favorite list for easy access.

You have 4 options to launch the code: method 0 and 1 (broadcast the intent), method 2 and 3 (simulate the dialing on the dial-pad). By default, method 2 dials *#*#code#*#*, method 3 dials *#code#, but you can change these formats in the Settings. Method 0 requires root permission, while method 1 doesn't.

After testing the code, you can add a shortcut for this code to the favorite list. You also have 4 options to create the shortcut. Be noted that you can not create shortcut on the home screen for the secret code.


NOTE: For Samsung devices that have not been enabled HiddenMenu, you can still use this app to launch the secret codes.


* APP EXPLORER:

Here you will get a list of installed apps in your device. You can filter the list by All apps, System apps or User (downloaded) apps.

For each app, the first line is the app name, the second line is the package name.

Tapping on the app will open the list of all components (activities) in that app. By tapping on the item, a context menu appears that will let you launch the target, add a shortcut for this target to the favorite list or the home screen for easy access.


* SEARCH:

Here you can search the target by full text searching. Just enter any text to the search box and press the button to search. The text will be searched in the app name, package name and the target class name.

You can filter the search result by All apps, System apps or User (downloaded) apps.


* CAPTURE SHORTCUT:

You can capture the shortcut manually or automatically.

To manually capture, navigate to the desire app that you want to capture shortcut, pull down the system notification bar and tap on the 'Capture Shortcut' icon.

To capture automatically, do the same and wait for the predefined period of time and this app will do auto capture for you.


* EXPORT/IMPORT:

You can export the favorite list to the file on the sdcard for backup. Use the file to import later or copy the file to other devices.

DONT LISTEN TO THE IDIOTS RATING THIS ONE STAR! They just dont understand how this works. It doesn't "unlock WiFi calling" or anything, it just lets you see what intents and broadcasts with SECRET_CODE in them exist on your device, and then fire them off. sometimes you can use those things to unlock or open stuff up, but if it doesn't work its not the apps fault! It does look like it needs an update for pie though, but it warned me about this on startup. saving one star for that

Ive been a fan of this app for years. I really wish the author would continue to develop it. A lot of these secret codes dont work unless its preceeded by the devices secret code like the phones msl code in like an api broadcast. Would become incredibly powerful if your code dialing functions could integrate that format. Theres a ton more possibilities that can become available with functionality like that. Thank though. Your rating should be higher than what it is, its their phones not the app

Having watched the You Tube video this app looked very simple to use. It is, but it definitely doesn't have the capabilities, that were described. Tried on many times to unlock my Samsung WiFi calling the original service provider has locked. No luck. Many of the features in the app would not launch.

What's new

v1.2.7: Various bug fixes and improvements.

v1.2.4: Fixed errors reported by users.

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).

v1.1.0: Added 'Launch Method 0' for secret codes. This method allows you to launch secret code with ROOT permission. This way you can launch almost all secret codes available for your device.
