xShortcut, short for eXtreme Shortcut, is a handy android app that allows users to quickly create different types of homescreen shortcuts. -- for Android 2.1 and higher.

Key Features:
1. Activity Shortcut Capture Mode: This feature allows you to directly select the active (running) activity as a homescreen shortcut (See NOTE 1). Here, an activity simply refers to a specific window/page within an app, e.g. any settings page within the System Settings (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Locale, TTS, ...), the preferences/settings page within xShortcut app, etc.

Basic Usage:
(a) Start Activity Capture Mode either by tapping the first item in the main function list or by enabling the setting "Permanent Capture"
(b) Move on to the target activity or window (e.g. the Locale settings page within the System Settings).
(c) Pull down the status bar and click [Grab Activity] for an attempt to capture the selected window as a shortcut.
(d) Edit, Test and Create the target shortcut.
(See more examples on the web site: https://sites.google.com/site/appschinyang/ )

2. Advanced Shortcut Editor: MAINLY intended for advanced users who might be familiar with the android Intent (i.e. component/action intent) and would like to create their own shortcuts.  

3. Shortcut icon is allowed to be changed (before the shortcut is created).

4. More Supported Types: Application Shortcut, Direct Call Shortcut, Direct Message Shortcut, Direct Contact Shortcut, Direct Email Shortcut, Bookmark Shortcut.

NOTE 1: Not all of the activities were originally designed to be launched by other applications/launchers. An activity shortcut only makes sense if the target activity is exported and not guarded by permissions. In xShortcut, a Test procedure will be automatically performed when creating shortcut.

NOTE 2: A *DEFAULT* icon size based on the device screen density is used to create homescreen shortcuts. You can try different sizes when the DEFAULT one is not applicable to your device (in Settings Window).
