hey all! Thought I'd make this so we could share what we're all doing with our notification centre widgets. Apps like Launcher let us put shortcuts to apps etc in there, so let's see what we've all got!

Would be great if we all share the URL Schemes that got us those actions too.

So far, I've got shortcuts to:

- Personal Hotspot (prefs:root=INTERNET_TETHERING)
- Location Services (prefs:root=LOCATION_SERVICES)
- Mobile Data (prefs:root=MOBILE_DATA_SETTINGS_ID)
- Sounds (prefs:root=Sounds)

Some others:
VPN: prefs:root=General&path=VPN
Phone App: mobilephone://
Settings App: prefs:root

In my notification centre. Full control centre switches now! Huzzah.

You can get URL Schemes for apps and such from these sources (they let you create customised actions):

http://handleopenurl.com
http://aijazansari.com/urlschemelist/
http://wiki.akosma.com/IPhone_URL_Schemes
http://schemes.zwapp.com

Hope they help.

I'm not able to change the topic start post although you said that you changed it to a wiki. I'm able to adjust other wiki topics.

Please remove the below link which isn't working anymore since a long time:

Bizarrely the settings isn't holding when I hit save. Any advice? I've updated the first post with what you told me anyhow.
 
Meerkat & Periscope

No problem making a custom launcher for Meerkat ( meerkat:// ) but I can't figure out what to use for Periscope . periscope:// does not work .
Any help would be appreciated ;)

You probably figured this out in the meantime but for other people reading this topic now.
I just noticed this is available within Launcher via App Launcher > Settings > Preferences > Notifications

The URL scheme is in fact: prefs:root=NOTIFICATIONS_ID (which i earlier mentioned already) and works great when you click on it via the widget in the notification center.

Anyone know if myfitnesspal has a scheme setup, and if you can access the bar code scanner from it? That would be a huge time saver.

Only to start the app i think: mfp://

Please contact a mod e.g. 'stridemat' to arrange that your post becomes a wiki.

Thanks for the update of the topic start post.
Please also add this link, this URL scheme list of all kind of apps and also the below very handy link to the topic start in the mean time.


iTV Shows 3: itvshows3://

I also think that you should only mention a 'real' icon website where you can quickly access icons which you can use for Launcher which is Easyicon.net. The other two websites are either asking your e-mail to download or has image but not icons.

I hope indeed that the mods read this topic. Or maybe the topic starter can contact one of the mods to help out.

I do find it odd that there is no:

- post to Facebook wall option
- Apple's iWork apps like 'Pages' do not seem to have a URL scheme (see also this)

Some of the above (and e.g. Battery app usage: prefs:root=General&path=USAGE/BATTERY_USAGE mentioned in the topic start) i've also send via e-mail to Cromulent Labs so these are hopefully added to 'App Launcher' at e.g. Settings.

Hello,

is it possible to change location with this launcher? Or have a shortcut to it?

Thank you :p
 
Is it possible to set a widget to set a timer for a specific time?

I want to be able to start a timer for say 3 minutes and start it with one press?

Thanks
