Hiding icons

There any way to hide icons in the app menu so that you don't see them anymore? I've removed some carrier bloat but there's still some apps that i never use and can't delete that i'd like to hide.

Use a different launcher. GO Launcher, Launcherpro, ADW, etc. have options to do this. Touchwiz blows anyway.

Or just uninstall the app if you never use it?

this is on the wife's mes, she wants the portable hotspot gone. she's having a fit about it. Don't think there's a way to uninstall it and she refuses to use launcher pro. She doesn't like it for some reason.
I'm allready on launcher pro.

It's just an app and you said you already removed other system apps so I assume you are rooted. Shouldn't be an issue to remove this as well.

Freeze it using TitaniumBackup Pro?

Can't find it is the problem and don't want to mess up wireless in general.
Will freezing it hide the icon? I figured i could just hide it and tell her i uninstalled it and she'll be happy.

Yeah now I'm really confused.
Here's an idea, tell your wife to quit whining over a damn icon and shut the **** up.

EDIT btw i did read the WHOLE article in android development and didnt find anything on this issue thanks!

Hmm couldnt just cancel the edit you were doing? It requires you to save...
Haven't been able to get anything stuck, it always managets to drop the item wherever it was heading.
Picture?

If your using touchwiz launcher, you xan go to manage apps, and click on TWlauncher. Theres a button that says clear cache. Clear it - it will reset the launcher to default.

This should work. But are you saying it's stuck even if you re-boot the phone? If so that is really strange.
Or, you can try downloading a different launcher from the Market. I personally love Go Launcher Ex (with Honeycomb Theme--separate download from the market). Let's you multi-select apps for your homescreens which makes it quick and easy to set up.

How to get rid of carhome???

Ok, so I got a g2x eb rom, faux kernel and a magnetic holster on my belt.
The problem is, carhome keeps popping up every time I place my phone in and take it out. Freakin annoying.
Nothing is working and I can't find carhome launcher apk ANYWHERE, only carhome apk.
Tried:
1. Un install through ti bckup and android
2. Dock no app and other apps that should stop carhome from starting
3. Pm packages disable through terminal
4. Delete apk altogether...
Nothing is working. Any suggestions?

have you tried removing it via adb? I mean, delete it, reboot and you may get an error if s/g tries to launch it. Also try an app called app quarantine, I use it to freeze apps and I know it works for car home. You can also try a program called ROM Tool box, by JRummy. If nothing works, get a new ROM, or reflash as it could just be bugged.

Thanks.
The problem is, I unstalled via titanium. No apk of carhome.
So there is no apk to quarantine or stop via apps.
I think my problem is that the carhome launcher is the pia. I can't seem to figure out how to disable the launcher. No launcher apk anywhere.

Have you tried using Bloater app?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I did the following to get rid of it:
1) extract the cahome.apk from the ROM zip file and install it.
2) Once installed it should show up in titanium backup
3) tap on car home in titanium backup and click wipe data and then the uninstall.
4) reboot,
That should remove it .

I used Rom Toolbox from the app store and uninstalled it. Poof its gone and no issues! Just go into the apps section and hold car home, then select uninstall.

Glad one of.my suggestions worked. Please hit the thanks button.

Yeah installing /uninstall doesn't work. For some reason it always comes back.
I got a diff app, disablecarhome on the market and that one finally seems to work.... If that acts up again I'll try the apps mentioned.

Oops, nvm, was reading the post on a bumpy bus, thought the person who said they used ROM toolbox was you. What app exactly did you use and why?

I am not an advance user, but I did managed to removed that piece of **** carhome without ****ing anything up.
1) Install Root Uninstaller. It is a free app on market. (I assume you have root access, since you said you are using faux and eb rom)
2) Find Carhome, check it, hit Backup in case you want it back, then uninstall. The apk should be saved on your phones internal sd right now, back it up to your pc as you desired.
3) At this point, your phone should pop out something about kineto (sp?), crashing. I've try anything I can think of but nothing will back you out of that error loop. No fear though! All you have to do is pull battery out
4) Turn the phone back on, now enjoy your phone without that piece of **** app bothering the **** outa you

Freezing it should also work since it is not available in app drawer.

[Q] Question About Using Launchers, Specifically About Nova Launcher

So from the amazing Google Play 25c deals I got Nova Launcher. I understand that CM9 uses something called Trebuchet launcher. Thing is when I press the home key, I have a choice between the 2 (and I can choose to make one of them default), and both work. But doesn't this use a lot more resources and stuff, even if I set Nova Launcher to default? I'm not replacing Trebuchet, I'm kind of overlaying Nova Launcher. So does any have any insight on this? Will I save up memory and possible other resources by removing my widgets and/or icons from my default homescreen (Trebuchet)?

Delete trebuchet from /system/app literally delete it problem solved

So if I make a backup, delete it, and then restore it later on, what does it save. Would it save my homescreens with the positions of all my icons and widgets? (not a big deal tbh but would be nice)

if your using tibu or rom toolbox you need to save data and app so it will save preferences but more then likely you will lose some info in the backup

Just to be clear, my backup, all I'm doing is renaming the apk file to .bak (and thus "deletes" it).

You can delete it, but I'd recommend keeping it in case nova crashes. Having a 2nd launcher installed could save you from having to go to download mode and wiping everything if something goes awry with the one you're using. I personally use nova, but keep trebuchet on my phone for this very reason because someone much smarter than myself recommended I do so. I haven't noticed any slowdown by having both installed.

Thanks a lot. I guess just in case, I'll delete my icons and widgets from my homescreens, I took screencaps of them anyways if I ever want to use it again.

Trebuchet is a memory hog. I'd recommend downloading something lightweight but functional, like Lightning Launcher or Nova's long-lost cousin Apex, as a backup instead, then backing up and deleting Trebuchet.

Missing S Planner APK

Well, the title sorta describes it all. I'm missing the S Planner APK after installing a new ROM.
I think the S Planners actually really good and would like it back, because I use it quite a bit.
Sadly, I can't find it anywhere on the internet. Would anyone be kind enough to upload for me their APK file for it?
Please and thank you.

I think this is what you are looking for...

Thanks for that. Unfortunately it refuses to install. At first it was a conflict with the google calander, and now it just refuses to. I'll probably try and find a way to push it, or manually move it in.

Have you tried to remove google calendar or "force stop", then install?
Do you use Titanium backup? I can prob pull the export back up files and you could try that way?

Yeah I uninstalled it with Root Uninstaller. I don't use titanium backup. I've tried using an adb terminal but they don't seem to work the way they should, and I can't find the one I used before haha.

No, actually. It doesn't. That never occurred to me, and explains a lot. It's a heavily deoxed stock ROM. But I use X-Note Zero Edition. I'll just find the touchwiz launcher from somewhere and use that.

I am not 100 percent sure but the launcher is part of the whole Samsung experience and hooked into the OS though more than just the launcher.

Well, I know that you can't use any of the S Widgets on launchers other than the Touchwiz one - even if TW is installed. The dev of the ROM said that the framework hasn't been touched, and that he only removed all the bloat and themed the ROM. So, it could be that Touchwiz is a prerequisite for the S-Apps. Although, S-Note still works fine.

If you have s note then you should be able to get s planner
