I had my Alcatel phone unlocked, and I rooted it using KingRoot. I recently installed "x app hider" it worked great till I downloaded the calculator to hide the app itself. Then everything went wrong the app would not open, so I installed it thinking it would unhide the aapps I had hidden, I was so wrong and considering all my root apps where hidden well now the froze and I can't unfreeze them and some I can't even find.... Help

I am running CM7-Rc1 with Trinity kernel. When I try to run Rom manager or Font changer I just get a blank screen. I still have the status bar showing but the rest is a black screen. The menu button for these apps does not work ether.
Are they trying to gain root access? I know sometimes when I run a app that needs root access a pop up from android will come up asking me to allow root access. I don't get that pop up with these two apps. so I am wondering if they are being blocked.
you can open the superuser app from your app drawer and check the permissions and log to see if they're being blocked or not.
I've had apps ask for root but I missed the pop-up and they just sort of sit there stalled until I went to superuser and dealt with it.
How do I check the permissions of the app from the app drawer? Using launcherpro if that matters

If you rooted properly, you should have the Superuser app listed with your other apps. If you don't, just download it from the Market: http://market.android.com/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su
So, once it's installed, just open it. It lists all apps that have been granted su access. It also has a log that shows approved/denied requests.
Trinity kernel is bfs based and when I use to run them I always had to go to manage application and force stop that affected app to work from time to time. I changed to the cfs based kernel by Netarchy and all root apps work with no blank screen waiting for root access.
Ok. I downloaded a free App Locker from the market. I believe it was S.A. App Locker. But then I got a diff App Locker cause i wanted to lock a few personal files. So i go to delete it from the apps menue. I noticed it wasnt there. Had no clue where it was at. But then i found it in my DL File Manager i believe. It was like hide for sum reason. So i deleted it. But its still present lockin my text and personal files. So its like a double lock on the same things i want to lock. I took the App Lock off that i want to currently use and the other Lock App is still locking the files. So im wondering is there some where else that i can look to delete this file or will i have to do another full wipe to get rid of it ?
no one has any info..?
Did you try contacting the developer of the app?
You might also want to clear defaults amd settings throuh the app manager.

Hi guys,
Is it possible to remove stock apps without root on the HTC One S? Perhaps with any app or something.
Thanks!
It's called the "no possible way".apk

In the past on other devices (MT4G, G2) I've used Titanium Backup to freeze the app. It doesnt remove it per se, but it stops it from running. Sometimes other apps require the presence of the the offending app to just be there. I forget which app broke for me when I ripped out an apk for some game TMO had placed on the ROM.
You could also use another launcher to hide the apps you dont want. If you don't want to root. Out of sight, out of mind mentality.
you cannot remove the apps but with ICS you can stop teh application from launching (which will hide from the app menu)./ Just go to settings, apps, all, and you can choose "Disable".

Nice! that's fine for me
Device= Qmobile Noir A8, Dual core 1 Ghz with ICS 4.xx.
Problem= Launcher deleted.
Solution= Read below
_______________________________________
I deleted my build in Launcher's .apk from /system/app folder after installing another launcher.
After i deleted it some how the new launcher stopped (My task killer killed it i guess) and never came back.
Now i was with out a launcher and all i had was the small status bar on top of the screen.
I could access the settings though, but there was nothing their to help me.
The task killer was accessible from status bar and i added the new launcher to its white list but it didn't worked.
I had no ROM backups or any thing like that and almost bricked it.
Luckily i had rooted it just after a few days of usage.
So i googled to restore some launchers in my device.
I had found a few solutions but non were working for me.
I download the SDK and tried pushing files to it.
The device was rooted i could access the root but nothing was getting pushed with an error message.
Next I tried every thing else that i came across on the whole internet and hours and hours of searching.
In the mean while an SMS came and i could access it from status Bar.
That gave me an idea.
How.
1. I could receive SMS and reply to it once it appeared on the status bar.
2. So i compiled a text message from another phone and the message contained a link "w w w.g o o g l e.c o m.p k" and i sent it to my device.
3. when i received it on my phone i had a text message with a link, the link was active and after pressing it i had the option to use my browser or playstore. after choosing playstore i had access to every thing.
downloaded a launcher and saved the day....
May be if some one had similar problem then use this method to restore your launcher or some other system app.
hahahahha how simple
Mmmmmmmm or you could have just pressed the search button which would open up Google search and could have searched play store the app would have showed up and you could have clicked it

If you could get into settings, couldn't you have gone into the list of apps therin and either gone to the play store or the launcher itself? Did restating not just fix it?

The screen was empty and i had removed all the widgets from it already. There was no search option any where. Only thing i had was status bar and settings(through the status bar drop down menu.

I had deleted the launcher from the core /system/app folder through a root explorer. And how could it show up on apps when no .apk files.
How can u open play store from settings.
Restart was not the solution
I'm basically purging all the useless applications i'll never use from a fresh install of CyanogenMod 10.1 Jellybean 4.2.2 and I can't find the .apk anywhere in the app folder. Does anyone know what the .apk is called so I can remove this garbage please?
Thanks.

Don't worry about finding the APK. You can unistall it using Titanium Backup or System Tuner or any of 100 similar apps to unistall it. In those options it will appear in the App list as Movie Studio and not whatever goofy name the APK file has.
You can also freeze it in the Manager Apps section of the settings. That won't delete it but will disable it competely.
Cool thanks. So far all i've done is go into Settings -> Launcher -> Drawer -> Hidden Apps and basically ticked that, will that do for the time being? Also, is Titanium Backup free and can I get it of the Marketplace?
Thanks.

No hiding it only removes it from the app drawer. It may still be running in the background.
There is a free version of titanium on the play store...using it you can uninstall or disable any app.
Hope that helps

That is 100% wrong. I just personally confirmed it. Disabling an app in the settings menu formally freezes it and makes it completely unable to run in any capacity until it is unfrozen.
Please don't post something as a fact unless you are certain its a fact. Posting wrong information will confuse new users and others searching for help later.

So am I alright keeping the method I used to hide it? Will that stop it from running in the background etc.? or do I still need Titanium Backup to remove it?
Thanks.
Disabling the app will render the app unusable until you re-enable the app. If you need to use the app sometimes then I would try the app greenify from the play market. Greenify simply hibernates the app.
