Where is the sound recorder?

Where is the sound recorder app? I see it listed under manage apps but its not in my app drawer. And no I didn't disable it. Just did a factory reset so nothing is disabled. How do you access the sound recorder?

LOL it's in the market
Kidding, by adding a widget ti the screen (if you've downloaded it from the htc widgets app)
Or by installing a 3rd party one from market
Alternatively you can opprn the command prompt and type begin, writeln(LOL), readln; end. But that is only for hackers cuz we do it the hard way

haha I'm talking about the stock app. I dont havce a widget for it either. But the "Sound recorder" app shows up in manage applications. I just dont see a way to run it. It's odd every other phone I had, had the app in the app drawer

yeah, dude i thought i was the only one who noticed/needed this wtf is up with that?
note* i STILL cant find it...its prolly only there for integration for other apps :/

T-Mobile took it out for whatever reason. It's really dumb.

is that a voda S4G? or unbranded?

if you can see it in Manage Apps then try to search for it from the Home screen. I know the Dock Mode doesn't show up in my App Drawer but I an run it if I search for it.
& yes, TMOUS did take it out along with some other things.

good tip for the dock mode, i always saw it running, but never saw the app before
but voice recorder doesnt show up under that search, even when i enter the package name :/
oh well 3rd party app, here i come
EDIT: when looking at the all, its 0.00kb, with NO app data or cache...looks like they deleted the app data, but forgot to uninstall...slackass T-Mobile :/

Go to the market & download "any cut". Open it & select "new shortcut" & then select "activity". Once the list loads, scroll down till you find the entry for the sound recorder. Select it, follow the prompts, and it will add a shortcut to the sound recorder to your home screen. Voila- sound recorder.

You do know that it's HTC that does the software modifications that T-Mobile requests, right? So it's slackass HTC, not T-Mobile.
On another note, I agree that T-Mobile does always seem to request removal of useful things and add crap like MyAccount. We can get that off the market if WE want it. My best guess is that by the time they are done adding they're crap too much just is running the background so they start removing other stuff.

[Q] Gmail - Can I uninstall it?

I use k-9 for my email on my phone and like it more then the stock Gmail app on here. Is there anyway to remove it or just disable it?

You can disable it go to settings - applications - manage applications - all apps - gmail and the button is there

I am looking where you said and all I see is Force stop, uninstall updates, clear data, and clear cache. Move to phone is also there but grayed out.

Some roms give you the option to remove ANY app.

Uninstall updates first then the disable option becomes available.

if placed in the system uses titanium buckup app (you must have root permissions)

Keeping Music App "Ongoing"

Hi all, anyone know of a way to maintain the Play Music app as an ongoing app? If for whatever reason the app closes, you must relaunch the app to regain the quick play features in the notification pulldown.
Coming from an iPhone, this is one feature I would love to get back.
Thanks

Not really sure how to make it ongoing, but you can put the Play Music widget on one your homescreens to quickly start it from where you left off if it closes.

Try installing a music player that has a widget such as mxplayer so you can just resume the music from the home screen.

Actually I found an halfway working solution. Using Notification Toggle, I set up a shortcut to play/pause music. Unfortunately is starts/stop the last music app used so it defaults to the stock app. Have to start Play Music first in order for it to work properly. At least it works anywhere

I dont understand how HTC doesnt see an issue w/ this. I used mog and pandora and it stops multiple times during my work out. Its really annoying to have to stop, launch the app, and then hope it continues when i lock my phone again.

Disable shortcuts for new apps

Everything is in the tilte. I'm running ICS with the ROM BlindIce v12, and Apex launcher.
I saw that new apps have automatically a shortcut on launcher, and i want to disable it. I okked in every parameters, but maybe I missed something.
Thank for your help.

have you checked play store app settings?
there's an option there called 'add widget automatically' (or sth like this )

Seems not to work with jelly bean. Short cuts still comes
Sent from my Desire S using xda app-developers app

This may just be a behaviour of Jelly-Bean. I spent today playing with a Nexus 7 and it does exactly the same thing; any new app I install automatically puts an icon on the launcher screen for me.
I didn't see any option to disable this, but didn't look particularly closely I have to admit.

You can download the AdAway app in market, if you are rooted, or searching in google for every app you have installed recently.

I heard that google did something about that. It was carried by an app(s) that you downloaded. Apparently, they told the app devs to take them off in a certain timeframe, or else they'll be removed from the play store. And ad blocker apps, that I know of, can't block those ads either. At least, adfree doesn't.

It's true, but with adaway you can select the option "scan for adaware". It' simple, it can tell you the adware app or apps you have installed. The second solution is usin rom toolbox with the option autostart manager and find the app. Then you must long press the app, go to advanced and disable some receivers of the app. For example "Airmob". This isn't very simple, but with a few try you can stop these annoying ads in the statusbar. I did this with Mosquito killer and now it works. Usually it FC when it must send you an ad in the statusbar, but the app works fine.

You can always go to applications > running and close them one by one to see which one it is
