Hey all,
Im about a week into have the 4GS.. I am really liking it, but have a quick question. In the phone app, there is the favorites tab. I dont have any favorites selected, but my frequently called people show up in there and I have no way of deleting these people out of this tab. The only real option is to delete contact which is not an option. Am I missing something here. Is there no way to clear these out??
Thanks
UPDATE!!
I installed an app from the market called Frequently Called Remover and it works perfectly.. It really looks as if there is not other option to this. But if you want it as an option, I highly suggest the app.. Works!!

Hi to all,XDA developers !
i'm curious to make app that will not be seen by user in his/her mobile.. that would start on Boot. and will not be visible in android uninstall list as well !!
need help of you guys...

If you install it in /system/app/
it shouldn't be visible in 3rd party uninstallers.
If you use Settings->Applications->Manage it's still visible.
how to hide it in "If you use Settings->Applications->Manage " ?
any trick ?
Are you trying to write some kind of malware?

Not that intention ! want to us it for 1app.
This seems pretty shady. I don't see why you would need to hide the application from the user's Application List.
...and you want it to run on boot? Hmm...
malware .. spyware .. **** lol ..
nope... ne idea ?
i got solution.....
How did you manage it?
I have an App which I'm wanting to do the same with (LocatorPro - to find phone if stolen)

Regardless of what you intended on producing...I don't understand why NOBODY has actually given you a proper answer.
I think you asked a critically smart question...as I am a new member...I joined this forum ONLY because I was looking for the answer to this question.
I am not a developer (even though I would love to learn)... but I need to know how to discreetly add apps.
The Story:
I have installed a spy app on another phone of mine. (SmsBox)
I need to hide that software completley from the list of apps AND from the "Manage Applications" list in the settings.
I want it to run in the background constantly and do what it already does.
IF someone has a solution for me...(or gets an idea on producing a new app with this feature)...please let me know.
(Since I don't know how often I will be visiting this site...Please email me at : [email protected]
Thanks!
I found this thread also looking for some way to hide (maybe disguise and lock) locator apps.
I think it would be really useful to hide anti thieves apps. They're almost useless if anybody can just take a look at the apps list and throw em away.
I've been looking for an app with that feature (among others) with no luck (Watchdroid the closest, but can be removed along its disguise and password protection).
So... any advice?
Thanks
You could write a text-mode application and just compile as a bare executable (not an apk). Just add that to your startup script (does android use init.d?), and it will be invisible to most people. You'll need root, most likely. (might be able to push over adb, then run via shell. Not sure what the permissions are on some things).

Avast anti-theft can be hidden from launcher, disguised in settings and survive a factory default wipe on a rooted phone.
I did do a search on this and found other similar questions but no real answers, so if you have seen this answered before feel free to "linky dinky" thanks!!

Best answer I could find, and it makes sense:
This isn't possible from an OS level. That share menu is populated by Android based on what apps you've installed declare they can open. You can look at the technical details here, but the end result is that without extra coding from each individual app to filter the results, you are always going to get the full list in whatever order Android returns them in.

Basically in the apps code somewhere it states that it has the ability to use the Share function, so it's automatically added. Without removing the code or removing the app altogether, Android sees the app and adds it. Might be something someone a lot smarter than myself would be able to write an app that manipulates this somehow. But from what I'm seeing it hasn't been done.
thanks man, its ok if just cant be done, everything has limitations...
Would it be possible to have a separate share app that lets you add options (like "SMS to Bob") as well as hide some of the defaults? That app itself could be registered as a "sharing" app (maybe sorting to the top of the list?) or could be launched individually. So a process flow could be to launch this share app, load up the gallery, choose the photo, choose the destination. And that process would be just as convenient as launching the gallery, choosing the photo, selecting to share, and selecting the destination. Same number of steps.
upgraded my phone a 2 weeks ago but market is still showing some apps are installed when there not, i have hidden my old phone but market still shows alot of apps are installed under "my apps" however there not , i wiped the old device and sold it, is there any way at all to make the apps stop showing up under "my apps"
?
thanks in advance !
oh the web market. Yeah its an annoying thing about it. there are threads of people asking for that to be changed. you can't even delete old devices, only hide them, and they pop back up from time to time.

Just turn off auto updating in the market and you won't get bugged.
The titanium feature works for me even on 4.4.

i dont know the app you mentioned, but im guessing if you go into the system app folder, you probably would be able to see it there, and delete it.
EDIT: i looked into ispyoo a bit, try dialling
#4779*
and see what that gives you.

Thank you very much for reply. ))
But the app isnt showing in system folder too. That number is not working either. you can see how they trickfully said on that website "(Once iSpyoo is installed you will find a new icon on your phone. Or to make dial #4779* to open iSpyoo.)"
They dont want users to remove it easily.
But we know its there, because he got email confirmation of ispyoo is activated. And whatsapp conversation word files are being created automatically..

well its an app, so it definitely has to be somewhere. you can try /device>data>app, thats where user apps are, it might be there. failing that, i would download es file explorer and go the topmost folder, that contains all other folders, and search for all apk files, it probably will find it. if it dosent, search again with ispyoo as the saerch keyword, if tthat still hasnt found it use recovery to totally wipe the entire device.
or just ask the person who put it on to remove it.

Hallo
They have option to login to the website with usersname and password, and then go to uninstall option. It gets uninstalled from there to your phone.
We cornered the guy!!, and then he(scared) removed it using the users name and password he signed up for it. (A legendary old method for app solution!)
It even had option to disallow certain apps, or stop apps in the target phone. Do you believe? Now all good.
Thank you for your concern and help )
see you

Hello bro, were you able to remove it from iphone? I had no idea... may be you reset the iphone? I hope something worked for you.
so, question still remains, how do you check the program is installed or not if it is hidden?
To check if the app is installed or not (while its hidden) you should have root access in your phone. Open the root directory and system folder and search for the installed apps. In this folder you will see all the installed apps on your phone wether they are hidden or visible.
Btw these days not only the syping apps are spying on users but even the utility or gaming apps spy on users via microphone or taking screenshots of device display to collect data and show revelent ads to them.
