Restore Small App Framework on Xperia Z5? - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I deleted the Small App Framework app on my Xperia Z5 Premium.
Now I'd like it back because when I press the recents/multitask button on my phone, the Small Apps bar shows up on the bottom, but it's nonfunctional.
The Small App Framework app isn't available on the Google Play store for download.
Can anyone tell me how I can download and install the Small App Framework app again?
(I actually would prefer not to have that bar appear when I press the recents button, but if I can't make it disappear, I'd at least like to have a functioning app. My Z5 is not rooted.)
Thank you!

How can you delete the framework if your phone is not rooted?

Re:Restore Small App Framework on Xperia Z5
All I can tell you is that the Small App Framework was listed as an app. I deleted that app, thinking that I didn't need or want it.
I also have a Sony tablet. The Small App Framework app appears as an app in the apps list.
It's not available for download from the Google Play Store.

You can uninstall the app updates, but not the app itself for that you need root.
Go to settings > apps and tell me if theres the small app framework app

When I look at all apps, including system apps, I do see Small App Framework. But it shows that the size of this app is 0.00 B. (I also see Small App Launcher, which occupies 84.00 KB).
Small App Widget and Small Apps Manager are also there, and they occupy 92 KB and 72 KB respectively.
So Small App Framework does appear under system apps, but appears to be empty (or something along those lines.)

hiding apps without disabling them

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?

[APP][2.1+] KeepRunning

With KeepRunning you could monitor apps and restart them. You need this if
- Android kills an app to free RAM
- An app crashes
This app has no background service and does not need RAM if it is not checking apps. It restarts only apps which was already running since last system startup, by the user or Android system. System apps are marked with an exclamation mark.
Available options:
Minimize all apps after an app was restarted
Duration of the monitoring intervall
Donation:
No self-promotion in the app.
More than 3 apps could be selected
Bring back last visible app after starting an app
Start apps, even not ever running since system startup
You support this app and further development!

My personal intension to create this app:
I'm using the messenger Trillian which has random FCs. Now Cerulean Studios has"pimped" the UI in a way I don't like. So I have to use the old version with known bugs.
To not miss messages anymore, i restart Trillian after crashes with this app
Now i'm using it also for daily crashes of WhatsApp

Useful application! I've highlighted it on the XDA Portal.
I'm already liking your BootManager and ReceiverStop.
Way to go!
Thanks!

I just read it in portal news, looks nice. Good work OP!
Is this an Xposed module or standalone? (Other great apps work with Xposed.)
no module applications ...
Wow, sounds amazing, I could use this for my CarPC.
Would it be possible to add an per-app option to only recover the app when the screen is on ?
Thanks !

Standalone, no root. Should work down to API3 (Android 1.5)...

Per-app? A global option "restart apps only of screen is on" would be much easier
So if the time interval is set to 20 minutes, the app check every 20minutes if the selected apps are still running and if they dont, keep running start them again?
Do i get this right?

Yes.
I think "20" is a good value
* you do not miss messages etc to long
* not many checks of the apps, no impact to battery (20 min -> 72 cheks/day)
But you could set whatever you need

Just pushed to Play Store. The logfile shows "sleeping" if
* the setting is enabled
* the screen is off
* an app is detected as not running
Bad side: needs api7. For Android <=2.0 i would have to watch screen-on/-off events :-\

As i wrote in 1st post, i did this app for Trillian and WhatsApp because both crashes sometimes on my device. Then i get calls why i don't answer for so long...
Now i've additionally set Llame and My Data Manager, because i've hidden their notification icons with NotifyClean, and i wan't to know if they closes without it - until now it was not the case
Restart minimized
I would like the option to restart apps minimized without reverting to the homescreen. Please separate these choices.

That's not possible, due Android does not provide the "minimize" of an app

How about returning to previous active app instead of homescreen then? Returning to the homescreen interrupts ongoing use of the phone.

Great idea, i will check if it is possible to get the current focused app. But it could be that there is a short (<1 second) interruption anyway

Just released to Play Store. This needs a new permission "GET_TASKS".
Also added a notification if a app was restarted
I've just added strings for translation to the first post. If you attach here a translation, please send me you email address via PM.
Notice to @kalashenicof @jzak1083 @vipa
Cool app
I, too, wish they would've kept Trillian looking like that old school Gingerbread style, but it's hard to expect them not to upgrade the UI, I guess...

Can you explain how, because I 've walked through all the menus and not figured out how to disable.
Thanks
Go to settings, applications, then you have a list of apps installed. At the bottom there are two signs... I am not sure what their exact wording is in English but you have to click on the right one with three horizontal lines... From the popup menu you choose "show system apps" (or some thin like that) and scroll all the way down to "YellowPage". If you click on it you have two buttons at the top, the left of which says "Deactivate". You click it, it gives you a warning about stability, just ignore it and voilĂ , no Yellow pages in the dialer app! Hope it helps!
You can use zenui dialer & contacts from Asus. It's in de Play Store, free and without advertising. I know I'm very happy with it.
Thank you , of course that helps.

ASOP EX 8.1 RetroMusic Disabled disables all sound on OnePlus One

I'm always trying to slim down the given Gapps Apps due to their design to capture your personal phone use. Apps that have permissions to modify System and SU rights on storage are an irritant to me but such is the Android evolution. I disabled RetroMusic because first, it is a beta and second because I like the App I have been using for years. So removing the permissions and disabling the app disabled all sound on the phone. These system apps should not have that kind of control over your Devices sound. Has it always been that way?

Boot into TWRP, mount system and then use the built-in TWRP file manager to delete the app's containing folder from system/app, then reboot.
Thanks for that. But why not freeze it with Titanium, would that be better? When I lost all sound from removing permissions on this app I'm wondering if removing the app will do the same thing. Thanks for the help but I'm going to research removing system Apps some more before I wind up wasting another day trying to solve something that should be left alone. Would somebody please explain why Google thought is good to waste a whole line on an up arrow. Can't we get that fixed. I mean what is the benefit of the APP drawer if the home screen space is deprived of 4 positions. Can't that little up arrow be put in one space like the circle with dots. And why not give us the option of the circle or up arrow.

Can you hide apps from the app screen?

Basically, I have both the pre-installed Files app and the Files by Google app on my phone. It's not the end of the world but it is annoying to see them side by side on the app screen when I swipe up. Is there a way, without disabling apps or using a different launcher, to hide apps form the app screen? So it only shows when I go to settings and click on apps from there.
Thank you for any help in advance!

No, it looks like it is part of Google's security policy to keep malware apps from hiding themselves. Even the "full version" type apps that can then be hidden don't go away even on reboot. The devs of such apps have confirmed. Custom launcher it is.

There is no way right now even if rooted. The issue is that it is part of Pixel launcher and of course it is locked down to that kind of a change. My suggestion is Lawnchair beta which is now available on the Play Store. You can make it as identical to stock as you want yet can also put in some improvements. The only hard change I have come across in Lawnchair is that the swipe up to gen into the drawer doesn't require that idiotic LONG swipe through recent items but starts like it should in the center of the home screen. It is worth changing just for that and the ability to hide apps, and it is free. Of course, Pixel launcher is still on the device and can be accessed by changing your default launcher back in settings.
