No Google Play Books Icon - HTC Desire S

Hi there,
two days ago google rolled out their play books store in Germany. That's nice since I waited for since it was released.
Problem is I have checked if the app is installed (it is) but I have no icon in the app drawer. I can make shortcuts to specific books an the home screen but not to the app itself. The only way to open the app is via play store, select a book I bought, tap read and hit back to see the startscreen of the app. When I close the app via home I can select it from recent apps.
Have I done something wrong? I'm using Fallout 2.0 and the app is not deactivated.
Cheers

The problem is that for your country, the app is hidden (and Google Videos or whatever is the name).
When people reported this, I fixed the xml files responsible for that. The problem is that they are only used once when on a clean install. So people just upgrading Fallout over and over will never see those icons.
So bottom line: the only way you will have those icons on your Rosie app drawer, is a Fallout clean install.
Alternatively, any other launcher shows you the app. The hidding is only done at Rosie level.
Cheers

Thx lovweld.
That's interesting. Since I don't use an alternative launcher I haven't seen that. And right now Fallout works so perfect that there was no need to make a clean install. I never though it could be related to that.
This will be an easy job and I will report if it works when I'm ready.

Solves the problem... Did a clean install few days ago, icons are there.

[WIDGET][3.0+] Simple Dialer Widget

I just finished another app for my "Simple ... Widget" family: A simple but customizable dialer widget which lets you direct dial, view the call log and your contacts from your homescreen.
The app requires at least Android 3.0 as it uses scrollable lists for the call log & the contacts tab.
As usual, the app is free & without ads and available in the Play Store now.
Enjoy and please report any issue you have
The most obvious question, can you add T9 to it?

Great work as always.
Maybe smaller icons at the top?
The app crashs if I want to do interactions like viewing call log or contacts... But it seems to be a great widget and I hope for further development and updates!
My System:
Samsung i9300 (S3)
LH1 Firmware 4.0.4
Nova Launcher Prime
Root
Any ideas or need more details?

I like the idea of the widget. Its not the first of its kind though !
I would like you to make the option to change the size of dialer numbers digit.
Also option to change the background colour/ image. sometimes, it can conflict with some bright colored wallpapers.
great work, keep it up !!

test size is now adjustable in new version, background color is also changable in the widget configuration activity
I saw there's an update available... Should I do the logcat before or after updating?

i think it should be fixed in version 1.2 (also attached to first post) which should be available very soon in the play store but if it still crashes then, please send me the log
Jo buddy...
I just want to give you some feedback. The widget is working after the update to jelly bean :thumbup:
Is it possible to make the call log updating automatically? And the number you're typing in the dialer to make it bigger?
Awesome widget so far... Keep on the good work

Issue with Voicemail and Unknown numbers
Hello,
your widget is fantastic, I actually use it with Fallout Evolution V5.0.0 ROM on a HTC Desire S. However, I have problems with the display of Voicemail ("Messagerie Vocale" in french) and Unknown ("Inconnu" in french) numbers, instead I have the following message "Chargement en cours..." which corresponds at "Loading..." I think.
Would be a problem with other language than English because of Unknown and Voicemail are hardcoded?
Regards

neither the string "voicemail" nor "unknown" appears in the app. if the number is not in your phone contacts, it should just display the number

Thanks for your answer, please find an attached screenshot to see what I described before : in the middle of the history you can see "Chargement en cours..." ; it's always the same message when the number is unknown
After 2 weeks of usage: top app! Keep on the good work!

This is brilliant!
Small bug is that if you press the option (three vertical dots) button from the lockscreen you can't change the settings. You have to remove the widget and then put it back on.

Widgets for Smartwatch 2?!

Hi,
did you notice the screenshot on the rear of the smartwatch 2 casing showing a widget on the home menu of the whatch? Interesting... but its not implemented in the firmware.
Today i looked through the developer pages of sony. And i found this:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/re...nyericsson/extras/liveware/aef/widget/Widget .
So what do you think? Are widgets coming soon to sw2?..
edit:
also in the official sony sw2 video the widget screenshot is shown (sec 00:10) :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoUzM7WYlP0
Do you think widgets are usable on a smartwatch?

There is already a paid app that brings widgets to the SW2 which is pretty useable from what I've read. It would be awesome if Sony made that option available by default though!
whats the paid app for widgets called?
Remote Widget
yeah remote widget works. But thats no widget on the homescreen. What i mean are widgets on the homescreen of the sw2. So you dont have to start them, u use the directly on the homescreen.

I guess this feature will follow in a firmware update. Just like the clockfaces with date did.
Widget was when this watch was first time show to public.
Later when watch finally relased Sony decided to get rid of that and few more functions.
Some clock faces missing, shake to backlight and few more.

Why? Isnt that cheating?
hmm it seems like the software is beyond the hardware development... the ambient light sensor is another example... the hardware is there but the software functionality was just added.
Are there any official press releases with these announced but not shipped features?
For me it almost seems like sony pushed the hardware to be released as early as possible cause of competitors like galaxy gear. So the software we got is a really early "pushed to work" product. Essential features like the auto backlight or the mark all read function were not in on release. For me the shake to backlight feature is also such an essential one...

[APP][4.1+] ReHoloEd Launcher

Hi, i'd like to introduce my launcher, which is also my first app on Google Play.
The Idea behind it is very simple: You have quick access to self defined start page apps and if you want to open an other app you can simply scroll to the right. Personally I don't need any widgets (and it's much work for me to implement them ) so I didn't implement them.
Currently you can choose between some uniform color schemes, which include all Holo colors, and app-icon-dependant colors. Also, you can select one out of 7 simple transitions. Finally there's the clock and the current date on the top left under the page indicators.
It is in very early beta phase so there can be some issues here and there. If so, please report them.
In addition to that, there are no tranlations besides english at the moment, but I hope there's some time to change that.
Download on Play Store: search for "ReHoloEd Launcher" (sorry but I'm not able to give a link right now due to XDA rules [<10 posts])
Have fun
Great idea.
Could you make it more Iphonelike?

I failed myself, I wanted to remove this button but I have so many layouts and I removed it only from one
[emoji15] that was a fast update
Gesendet von meinem LG-D802 mit Tapatalk
So, finally I added these app drawer icon styles:
- Default (with card as background)
- No background
- Icon only
and I think I got rid of this button very quick, next version 1.0.4 is up in some... minutes... hours... depending on how fast Google Play works
laggy and buggy but great concept

I decided to start to try implementing some sort of folders as well as a hiding-apps-function tomorrow... I hope that I can fix these laggyness-problems soon.
Disable vibration with touch .
New build 1100 aka Version 1.1 is going to be uploaded soon.
Changes:
Code:
New: Folders
-> Drag an App onto an other one to create a folder
-> Drag an App onto a folder to include it
-> Drag a folder to delete-field to remove it
-> longclick on App in folder removes it from folder
-> when deleting the last app in a folder: folder removed
-> Click on folder title when opened to change name
New: Drag over pages
-> you can drag an app over multiple pages by dragging it on the left/right border of the screen
New: Icon labels have a background when not showing cards as background
New: Ad in Settings
New: Hide app from app drawer (option found in settings)
Fixed: various performance issues
Removed: Vibrate on single click
Folders are a tiny little bit "buggy" because the whole app drawer will be updated at once when you create or delete a folder or delete/add an app to it. But it's still a beta, so let's proceed

Can't create messages / no messaging app

When i turn the bezel left, I can online read and answer to received messages. If there are no messages, I am not able to create one, as the three dots on the right site are missing. Also going into the list with all apps, there is no messaging app. In the manual it is displayed and described differently.
Is this the same for everyone? Or something wrong with my device(s)?

What phone is the watch connected to?
Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk
Tried with LG G2 and Sony Z3 compact, inklusive factory resets of the S2 in between. Both phones should be compatible according to Samsung.
Non Galaxy phones don't get the email or messages apps, however, you can assign the Messages app to the double press Home button settings option under Device settings on watch. It is slightly limited, in that you will only see your side of text thread, but I created a text to the people I text most and jump back there to text them. You can also initiate a text via the Buddy app, and those texts go to the Messages app. So see if you can assign Messages app to double press Home button, use Buddy app to create a text to someone, send it and reply to them via notification. Should you want to text them again, double press Home button while on watch face, and select them and text them. Lather, rinse and repeat. Maybe not ideal, but totally workable for me.
I'm using an HTC One M8 and I finally got it paired after a day of trying. But now when I get texts I can't reply to them, I can only view them on my phone. I've used the default messaging app on my HTC as well as google hangouts. Any ideas on how to get it so I can reply via my watch?

How can I disable creating a shortcut whenever I install new app??

Hi guys.
I'm using mate 8, just got it yesterday =]
It's gorgeous device.
When I install the app for the first time, I think there was an option to enable creating a shortcut in the home screen that I remember.
I think I enabled that function....
But whenever I install any app now, I always have two shortcuts; the original app and the shortcut.
It's really annoying.
Because of the characteristics of EMUI which means 'no app drawer', if I have to put the app icon on the home screen, I don't have to create any shortcut.
How can I disable creating shortcut on the home screen??
Please help me out!
Thx guys!
