If you have LauncherPro you may be familiar with one of it's powerful features: **LauncherPro Shortcuts** .
By using the LauncherPro Shortcut Generator , you can create powerful custom "shortcuts" that can access almost any function in your device that has an Intent *(see also Open Intents )*.
The shortcuts are almost mini apps in their ability to perform complex function like activating settings on your device, adding events in your calendar, sending to a particular email... I believe that LauncherPro Shortcuts may be able to solve Dmitriy's problem here .
It basically opens the door to accomplishing things and accessing functions that you normally would need to be a developer to do. Unfortunately due to the lack of documentation, it's still pretty difficult to use. The author has a thread on his forum for people to post their Custom Shortcuts, as forums go, out of the 210 posts, 99.99% of them are people asking how to use it. It is very frustrating finding the actual shortcuts.
I think the SE format will serve as a better mechanism for listing the Custom Shortcuts, and cutting out all the noise.
In order to keep this orderly please follow the following guidelines:
1. One Shortcut per Answer
2. **Only post working LauncherPro Shortcuts** (anything else will be deleted)
3. If you have questions or comments about a shortcut, post it in the comments.
Post it in the following format that will allow others to recreate the shortcut:
## Shortcut Name (make it descriptive)
**Notes:** Any notes about what it does and how it works. Also, anything else that needs to be explained.
**Form Fields:**
- Action:
- Package Name:
- Class Name:
- MIME Type:
- Data:
- Categories:
- Extras (Type / Name / Value):
***(not all fields are required so you can delete the ones you don't use)***

**In order to make it easy you can cut and paste the following template code into your answer:**

**Notes:** Type notes here...
**Form Fields:**

***I thought about making this a Community Wiki, but decided to keep it a normal question so people can get rep for the useful shortcuts they post (and encourage people to create useful shortcuts that don't already exist).***
