Are there any apps that blocks other apps from adding bookmarks& home screen icons on
I think I would like an app that can tell you which app added which bookmark or homescreen icon & let you know when an app is trying to add them to your phone & ask you if you want to block it.
I'm talking about those bookmarks and homescreen icons that are sometimes added to your phone when you install certain free apps. They're usually search engines and the developer can earn money whenever you use them.
I'm not sure if an app like this even exists but if there are any please let me know

for app organizing i've found some apps. the one I use automatically organizes my downloads, but i would like an organizer for my widgets. for exemple an app has 3-4 widgets, and if there is an organizer to show the app and then the widgets it has I would like to have it!
no need, sort alphabetically
widget i arrange them the way i like it, and resize it the way i see fit on the screen
let see if I can explain I press menu->add->widget and here i see all the widgets alphabetically. I ask if there is an app that creates a folder with all the widgets for the same app.
CM7 roms does this.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
AppWidgetPicker does exactly what you want but you need to be rooted to be able to push it to /system/app
it's a great find
however, i'm afraid that might slow down the system even more when trying to bring up the list of widgets available
i have waaaaaaaaay too many apps installed, everytime i try to add a widget it takes a loooong while to come back with the full list, as it needs to scan an populate the widget pick list
so if i add such an app, it will just add even more complexity to the pick list
scan, then filter, then populate, then group
.... not really in the mood of waiting 2 minute for the widget list to show up
Swipepad is an awesome app that lets you swipe from a specified edge of the screen which brings up a page of user specified apps (in the desired order) up to 42 apps per page (via paid addon). You can even have different pages when swiping from a different portion of the screen edge. The app itself is free and allows up to 6x4 grid without the aforementioned addon.
In my search I have yet to find any other app that allows you to access such a huge number of apps - from anywhere - with only a single swipe from the edge of the screen to the app which you want. I took all the apps in my homescreens and put them on a big Swipepad page (using 6x5 grid) which allows me to use only one dockless homescreen with my only two widgets. I also disabled the lockscreen
[edit] I'm not the dev or anything, just sharing this cool app that I found =D

My only issue with this app is that on some occasions an app opened from Swipepad can take up to 3 seconds to open, with a Toast message stating Starting [App Name]. Does anyone know how I can fix this delay by perhaps increasing CPU priority for this app or other means? I'm beyond interested in finding a solution. Might even chase down the dev and offer a big bounty for a fix.
I want to pin an app window to the home screen, like a widget, except that it is a live app.
I need this because there are so many applications which do not have any widgets. Instead of opening an app(which I forget most of the time) I would like to have them pinned as a widget which I can easily view while scrolling through the home screens.
There any many Xposed modules, which allow any app to be viewed as a floating window, but don't know how to make widgets out of them.
Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks!
i have the same idea from the past a few months since the launch of google go app but i dont know how to do that
i searched all over the internet but i didnt find anything
it will be very useful for the small and mini apps like lite version
hope any developer will refer for our post

Select your favorite widgets to be floating everywhere and on top of all applications, with a minimize feature that turns your floating widget into a floating icon, which you can control its transparency.
Features:
- Resize widgets
- Set minimized widgets size
- Set auto minimize all widgets
- Auto Restore floating widgets when device reboots.
- Change widgets background color and transparency
Special Notes and permissions:
1- On Android Oreo and later, you will be asked for a permission to allow the application to draw over other applications, in other words allowing the application to have a floating window everywhere, This permission is mandatory for the application to work.
If you have any questions or suggestions please let me know.
Thank you

Hi guys so i wanted some advice i have a old samsung s8 that i want to give to my old gran as she is not tec savvy i want to know is it possible to remap the system so all it has access to is whatsapp and cant do nothing else take all apps off the home screen and such apart from whats app
many thanks
Yes, it is possible to remap your Samsung S8 so that your grandmother only has access to WhatsApp and cannot do anything else. Here are some steps that you can follow:
Create a new user profile on your Samsung S8, which will be used exclusively by your grandmother.
Go to the Play Store and download a launcher app such as Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher. These apps will allow you to customize the home screen and remove all unnecessary apps.
After installing the launcher app, set it as the default launcher for your grandmother's user profile.
Go to the home screen and remove all the apps that you don't want your grandmother to access. You can do this by long-pressing the app icon and then dragging it to the "Remove" or "Uninstall" option.
Add the WhatsApp app to the home screen and place it in a prominent position so that your grandmother can easily access it.
Finally, lock the home screen layout so that your grandmother cannot accidentally move or delete the WhatsApp icon. You can do this in the launcher settings.
By following these steps, you can create a customized user profile for your grandmother that only has access to the WhatsApp app and is easy to use.
Hello thanks alot for your help just to ask how do i go about making another profile ?
Also is it possible to have it where when the phone switches on you could just have whatsapp there no sliding right or left or being able to change any settings ?
Many thanks
