Remove Small Apps Tray in Recents Menu - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any way to remove the Small Apps Tray in the Recents Menu on the Z5? Is this ADB code still working? It worked for the Z3 w/o root. Hopefully someone can confirm. Thanks.
If you want to also remove the Small Apps:
adb shell
pm block com.sony.smallapp.launcher
pm block com.sony.smallapp.app.widget
exit
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

It works, but you'll have to use "hide" instead of "block". The only annoyance I see: the "clear all" button placement is wrong
Btw, it also works in a Terminal emulator. No need to ADB and all

Interesting. Thanks for your reply. Curious if there is a way to fix the button placement now. Probably not though. The code probably has to be modified to actually "block" it which will bring the Clear All button back down. Hopefully someone can come up with the proper code for us.

I'm pretty the "clear all" button position is hardcoded and takes into account that the small apps bar is there (and is not meant to be removed)

On the Z3 and Z3C, it indeed moved down to the right position, but it could be because it was "blocked" not "hidden". We just need to find the correct syntax.
I'll just sticky this here in case someone figures it out there:

Bump

So I followed this trick (found elsewhere) and it worked until yesterday. I tested out Ultra Stamina mode and after reboot it's back.... any way to not have to run this every time i run Ultra Stamina mode?

Second Battery icon mystery

I just recently got a windows phone, and like a fool I immediately started customizing...then I realized I didn't know what I was doing. Long story short, I installed something (I have no idea what) that put a second battery icon on my home screen, and can't figure out how to get rid of it. There is nothing in the add/remove programs, and no running tasks. Anyone recognize this? Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it?
Thanks,
C

You will need to check which programs you have installed. Click on START-> PROGRAMS and view there or alternatively click on START-> SETTINGS -> SYSTEM and then select Remove Programs which would show all that you have installed. From that may be able to help as I've had the same icon just can't remember where from.
The unwanted 2nd battery is from QuickMenu...you can tap and hold there to change what is being shown.
Thanks for the response, but I checked all this and no luck. It seems to be a remnant of something I un-installed. Has anbody seen it before? Maybe if I re-install the software and remove it again it will go away...I just don't know what that software is....
C
Oops...didn't see the jamesus post. That was it! Went to Quickmenu site read how to remove it and viola no more 2nd battery indicator! Thanks to all of you!
Weird, just posted about this in the Herald forum, I didn't even think of searching the general forum for a topic about this. I'm having the same problem - checked the quickmenu settings and disabled "show battery on taskbar." That got rid of the battery icon, but now there's nothing in its place! I can't figure out how to restore the task manager shortcut to the top right. Were you able to get it back?

How to modify Bottom Bar Key?

Hi all,
I just want to change my bottom bar to which look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If the Start Menu button and Close button are re-positioned into the Bottom Bar, they could be easily pressed as our fingers can reach(I still wonder why Microsoft has such a stupid idea to bring those 2 button on the topmost)
Anyone have an Ideal of how to do it, please help me.
Thank u.
Anyone could help me?
Thanks in advance.
there's an app that moves your taskbar to the bottom.. i forgot its name. if i manage to recall it i'll tell you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428317
Really thank u.
I already tried it, and disappointed. It's has a lot of bug. The result is: I have to bring Taskbar back to it's nature position.
I'm trying active corner on FtouchSL, which can emulate two bottom corner as taskbar button with Press a' Hold. It's not what I really want, but satisfied by now.
Thank u for your answers.
ftouchsl + wm5NewMenu, works for me, I also have remapped the left soft key to open the start menu. but as I have wm5NM I don't use the start menu much.
Yeah, I use WM5 New Menu too. But it only works on Today Screen, helping me for opening new doc quickly. I like to make a interface that can be fully touch controlled ( 'cause some hard keys of my Prophet is going to break )
I don't understand, wm5NewMenu works anywhere not just the today screen.

Vibrant Home Dock "ported"

Well, not ported as they already mostly worked, just fixed a couple of hiccups. Nothing very clever going on here, but may be of interest to some folks.
As per request in another thread, I've fixed the Desktop Home app for the Samsung Vibrant so that the one thing that doesn't seem to work properly, the "Alarm" button, is now ok.
You can grab the APK from:
http://db.tt/bFXrBWr

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've also partially fixed the Vibrant Car Home app so that the icons are centered and the "Contacts" link works. The "Search" button doesn't seem to do anything and it seems to be hit & miss as to if you get a "Browser" icon or a "Voice Search" icon as pictured below. It may be a compatibility issue with the JME firmware I'm running, I'll have a play later. Anyway, you can grab the .APK from:
http://db.tt/qN07wwk
The app is incredibly no-frills, there's no other settings or options whatsoever other than what appears on the screen. I'd suggest using the Car Home v3 app from the market instead, although this one does look pretty.
The apps don't lock the screen on either so are probably not terribly useful without an actual dock.
If I can decipher the decompiled smali code some more, I'll replace the "Search" icon with a "Music" one. Changing the app an icon runs is easy, implementing it when it's not already doing something is less so.

This is a simple guide to add the Screenshot option to the power menu as well as other recovery options such as "Soft Reboot", "Reboot Bootloader", ect.
There are other guide but they are very extensive and super Looooong (Not too mention NOT Noob friendly) such as this one >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26980237

Leftover garbage
This worked nicely but I now have buttons on the bottom of my screen which are unnecessary as I have real buttons. Any idea how I can remove them? I cannot find any option in Gravitybox, et al.
Okay so I can confirm that this menu gets in the way and makes widescreen typing impossible as it obscures the keyboard. Not a good method for screenshot at all.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
Phew!
Thankfully the problem is easy to resolve:
After installing all of the above, enabling the modules, rebooting and then configuring your options and then rebooting again for the changes to take effect, you can simply disable Gravitybox and reboot to remove the awful bottom buttons and keep the screenshot menu option.
Phew!
In fact: Gravitybox is completely superfluous and a waste of time. God knows why you think that it's needed.
And the Xposed installer will download the APM for you.

Lost stock camera icon

After rooting my 8T I lost (surely my fault) the stock camera's icon.
I still can use it by double clicking the power button (I found this option somewhere) but it would be nice to have the icon too.
PS I mainly use the GCam but nevertheless I'd like to find this damn icon
PPS sorry for my poor tech english
Is it in the "hidden space"? Go into the app drawer and then swipe right. Just an idea.

Thanks Good idea but no.
It's not there.
It exists because I can use it, but don't know where!
Because not sure how you did it, try "freeze" then "unfreeze" by using app like OandBackupX or TitaniumBackup. Or run camera once, call recent app, push and hold on camera, tap app info, disable camera and wipe data then enable.

If it still not show up, and you don't want to wipe/rebuild system. You can use some shortcut manager app crate a shotcut icon to call camera.

One of the two worked.
They called me on the phone and I went in auto-mode, so I can't tell which of the two!
Camera reappeared but with the name of "foto pano"!
BTW now I got the link.
