I deactivated my theme and i checked with the twenty twelve theme,here the short codes are working.

i wrote the following code in index.php

echo do_shortcode('[layerslider id="1"]');

it is not working,even in pages too([layerslider id="1"])

but the following custom shortcode is working

i wrote this code in function.php 

function codes()
{
echo "short code working";

}
add_shortcode('codes','codes');

echo do_shortcode('[codes]');

You need to use return not echo in the function. I changed the shortcode name so it is different to the function name in this example.

Try this:

functions.php

function codes() {
return 'Short code is working';
}

add_shortcode('codeworks','codes');

index.php

echo do_shortcode('[codeworks]');

On the twenty twelve theme shortcodes you need to make sure you copy them into the new theme you are building.

Hope it helps.
