hiding apps without disabling them - General Questions and Answers

Sony live with walkman WT19i
rooted 2.3.4 (0.58)
is there any way to hide apps from stock app drawer without disabling them?
i dont want to use any other launcher

From my knowledge (two months on android development) when you run new app this second one goes to background and calls method "onPause" so if developer want to do something in background it will work. You have no influence on it. And if you call back already runned application then it starts from last saved state.

Yeah ! it works, not fully but yes, for a few apps it does work

Has anyone learnt to read in the meantime?
Have you found a solution?

How about the 'incognito' installation in parallel space
You could try using the 'incognito installation' mode in the parallel space app. Would that work?

Have you checked the market at all. Lots of options. Goto seems to be popular.
Lock screen
Sorry for hijack but My lock screen is too sensitive and my phone is always unlocking in my pocket and then making calls, sending texts and changing things around, its starting to pi** me off a bit.
I need a proper lockscreen that needs a password or something to enable phone.
I bought app protector from the market but that just messes with the whole phone big time, disabled.
Just activate the additional pattern lock under android settings --> security. your phone shouldn't be able to draw a pattern specified by you

I would like to remove the se lock screen as well and replace it with stock android. I tried many apps in the market but none of them work properly. So in my search I was looking to disable it manually. Interestingly enough when I removed the phone.apk it removed the lock as well. I couldn't use the phone but at least no lockscreen . Anyways i think modifying the phone.apk is what needs to happen unfortunately i don't have the knowledge to do this yet...

Ashame lockbot does not work on the X10. I have problems with the lock as well. Sometimes i miss calls because it hangs In de top, very annoying.
Lock 2.0 from market Works for x10 and is great, a bit Luke s2u2. Full version Allied you to change settings to your likings.
i use adw launcher, dont change your settings in adw after installing lock2 otherwise the default lockscreen Comes back for some reason and you end up with a Double lockscreen. Further it is the best lock screen on the market for our phone. Hope this will help.

I'm a huge fan of goto but sometimes a lil bit laggy
I've tried all sorts of lockscreens and apps that disable the stock lockscreen. I still always end up with the stock lockscreen coming back, so I have to unlock stock and whatever lockscreen app I had installed. Some of them didn't disable the stock at all, some did but randomly the stock would come back after some time

Was going to get goto, but it is a pain that you can only pay with a credit card, i havent got one
Goto its really good but its main problem was that any button could wake it up which resulted in battery drain!! don't know if that's fixed now cause I really did prefer it over the built in one!!

Goto keep waking up w/o even touching the phone. Anyone has a solution? I hav advance task killer n juicedefender install

No real solution im afraid, you can try changing your task killer to only kill apps every couple of hours and ignore the GOTO application, or uninstall it completely, this helps.
I now use Lockbot pro which i think looks better than GOTO + its got 100's of themes, but i sometimes see the SE lock screen, hardly ever, but still seen it, whereas with GOTO i never saw it.

Unfortunatly GOTO is a paid app so its against forum rules to post the .apk.
Google is your friend, or pay for it.
The only way to change the default lock screen is by tampering with the /system files. Don't think anyone has been successful in revamping it. The only progress I've seen was the arrow being changed to a different image.

I think you have set Advanced Task Killer to "kill when screen off". This setting turns on the screen when you use goto, it's some kind of bug. Just use a setting like "kill every 30 min" or something like that and goto will work fine.
btw. you should read the topics about how pointless Task Killers are on Android. They're often even making things like battery life and smoothness of the device worse. Here's one of the many topics about it on the forum
I have no lock installed but i still get the SE's lock screen and Lockbot is not there most of the time ...
Well, sometime Lockbot appears after i unlock the SE one ... which is stupid.

Hey,
Great looking app, can't wait to try it out.
Just installed it to my Desire HD (stock rom, 1.72 firmware) via adb and whenever I try to add the widget to my home screen, it tells me "no more room on this homescreen". This is with LauncherPRO.
On restart of my phone I also got a message saying that the process had crashed and had to force close. (app loads fine however, just not able to put the widget on)
Any suggestions?
I just tried it on my galaxy s it says no enough romm in this page in both launcher pro and touchwiz.
When i open the app it force close and keep doing the same.
I really want this watch but no luck.

There was no need to use adb! It's similar to stock but not same app. The widget will occupy the whole screen. Did you have another shortcuts on the screen when u tried?

Thanks man , looks great and attractive to me . Will give it a try now.
Btw can this directly be installed from the market? Unlike other apps which require root access plus fiddling with the adb process and commands?

Heh, only reason I used adb was because I downloaded the apk on my desktop, and my phone was plugged in but not mounted. I'm lazy like that XD
And yeah, I tried it on an empty home screen, so no other widgets on it.

It's me or there isn't a way to have it orange by now?
Thanks
Hey Adam, I've been toying around with the launcher pro settings, just found, your widget uses a 5x5 layout currently which may be why many people are having issues not being able to add this to a home screen since the default is 4x4.
Any chance of a 4x4 version?
Cheers

[Q] Skip homescreen?

Ok, I use WidgetLocker pretty much as my homescreen, and so I have a blank homescreen which I only use to access my app drawer if I need another app not on my lockscreen.
I am wondering if anyone knows if there is any way possible to skip the homescreen and just go straight to the app drawer.
Try looking into alternative launchers. vLauncher is probably what you want; it functions as solely an app drawer.
Seems kinda iPhone-ish.

No, not iphone-ish, it's because I use widgetlocker/lock menu AS my homescreen, and I wanted to unlock straight to app drawer because I really have no need of a launcher now. I only unlock if I need an app not accessible through my lockscreen. I'll check out that vlauncher.

VLauncher is your best bet, or else you'll have to make an application that does what you want.

Or you could use a shortcut/slider on Widgetlocker to open a Folder Organizer folder with all of your apps in it. I'm on CM7 & use the long press search to open my folder with all of my launchable apps, so it's like an app drawer anywhere.
Ok I've checked out vlauncher and that seems the best I can do for the time being, it serves it's purpose well enough. Thanks for the help guys!

360 Launcher settings on pull down toggle?

Hey guys, i'm using 360 launcher and was wondering if its possible to put the settings (wifi, 3g, bluetooth etc) in the pull down toggle? I like the widget, but it would be a lot more practical to pull down the toggle and manage this settings from there.
I think that would require your Rom to have this feature. If you're not rooted or on ics, you probably won't get it working

install Notification Toggle from Play Store.

Thank you! I'm currently using this App but it seems to have a couple of problems:
. Once you press an icon toggle auto-hides
. Pressing one icon is like pressing all icons together (like one big button), it's a strange effect, and gathered with the autohide it just makes things confusing :\
this according to the app, has to do with android version 2.3.5, i'll have to find a way to fix this

is there a way to completly replace halo locker to default.

well i think if you were to uninstall the default locker it would brick the device so maybe try another lockscreen? i know go lockscreen takes itself as a launcher so the stock locker will not popup but still since you kill everything, there must be a custom app that kills specific apps or apps you dont want to kill.
