I'm just wondering if it is normal for system apps to show up as a downloaded app? I'm seeing the Dialer, Dialer storage and also two Settings apps. Is there a reason why they would show up there? Thank you in advance.

It should show under the "ALL" tab but not the "Downloaded" tab unless it's a 3rd party dialer. So no I don't think it's normal.
And if I dont have a 3rd party dialer? I'm not sure if it should have changed back but I flashed a new nightly, still there.... ?

not quite sure why you want to do that but ok. you could purchase system app remover off of the market. if you have rooted your phone and that will allow you to remove system apps such as the messaging apk.you could try a file manager and delete the messaging apk from the system data but i havent tried that so cannot promise you it will work.
I would say no because of the fact the app is probably linked to the ability of all text messaging on the phone. So i wouldnt remove it even if u have a third party app.

Yeah, was gonna remove contact as well....
Assuming your phone is rooted (probably has to be to do what you want to do) you can use Titanium Backup.
Find Messaging, press it and select "Un-Install." If that doesn't work, long press and select "Force remove app (by recovery exploit)"
Same for anything else you want to take off.
Anyone else know how to get the apps lined up without moving each one manually after un-installing one on the applications pages?
I have gaps on most pages and takes forever to move manually
I couldn't find any other way, it annoys me too.
So is there no fix to this then? Seems like it should do it automatically.
Have you tried 'TouchWiz AppSorter' from the market?
It sorts the apps in the app drawer alphabetically and removes spaces. However the phone does need to be rooted
Thanks, worked a treat

I read about that app, but my phone isn't rooted yet.

Thankyou for this, worked perfectly. This has annoyed me for some time
Hello; I can't seem to find the Phone application in the app drawer, or in selection lists (e.g. Launcher 7 initial setup). I've frozen a few things using Titanium, but it's not on that list anywhere either. I can find it in Astro easily enough, but no way else.
Help!

If you can see the contacts app, the dialer is just one of the tabs... it's not perfect, but it works...
Thanks. I finally got it back by uninstalling GO Contacts.
I've tried to sideload the Voice Dialer app. It asks if I want to replace the system app. I click yes and it loads and I can open it and use it, but when I look for it later in the apps list, it's not there. It shows up in the apps listing under the settings page, and even on titanium backup pro, but its not visible anywhere else. I'm sure there are a few more apps like that as well that aren't visible, but would like to make them visible.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
I am rooted using the fakecid procedure.

Try HiddenApp in the market. It's not perfect, but you can create shortcuts on your launcher for hidden apps. Works for non-rooted, too.

Hi guys,
I have Amlogic S812 streamer Xtreamer Wonder and it's running on 4.4.2 Android.
In the Settings menu there is no possibility (no menu at all) to add another Google account in addition to the one that was created initially. As a result all Google apps such Play Market, Gmail, Drive etc, working with one and only account without ability to switch to another one if needed. It's especially limiting with Paid apps which was bought under different accounts...
I tried to search all over the internet for the similar issue, but surprisingly did not found any ...
All the rest functionality is as usual, I also have root, thanks to the Rooting Guide by C3C076
Any help is very appreciated!
This is how Settings menu looks like :
Unfortunately, this firmware disable this feature.
So, to change google account, you have to use adb tool and remove /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db file (if box is root) and add another account.
If box isn't root, you have to factory reset this box to add new account

Thanks for your answer water275, but is what you mean is just removing existing and adding a new one, but there still will be only one account ?
I tried to use few different apps which can manage existing accounts and I had there the option to remove account, but not to add. So in order to remove i think i can use this way, instead of adb. But what about to have multiple accounts? Absolutely impossible ?
What is interesting is that those account management apps allowed me to go into sync options for existing accounts. So it looks like the Xtreamer just hiding required functionality (menus) and not completely removed them. I was thinking in direction of xml files which are responsible for menu layouts, but i have not too much knowledge with them...
You can use Gmail. When you slide left panel in, there's an arrow next to your profile name. When you expand it you will see "Manage accounts" menu option.
Alternatively you can use my simple app (attached) I created for this purpose.

You right :good::good::good:
Gmail not allowing to add account guys. There is no such option. If it could be this way then it would be simple

Sorry mate, what do you mean ? 2nd and 3rd screenshots is from your app. Where 2nd one is straight after I launch your app and 3rd one if I choose google account and then click on options on the right side.

Sorry, you are right. I got confused because of launching that app on my phone which runs lollipop. It unfortunately behaves differently on KitKat.
I'll try your app on my android stick in car, there is also 4.4.2 just to compare, but as i said earlier even that menu that your app shows is not available from the usual settings menu, so it seems like Xtreamer just hiding these menus for some reasons.

Yeah. But the screenshot above is a result of launching app on lollipop. Looks like the same call yields different results on KitKat.

For some reason on my Android stick in the car your app can't be installed. I have Install and Cancel buttons, but Install not clickable. I'll try similar app from the store later.
Found solution !
The reason is that Xtreamer installed custom Gmail app that is not asking for update and installed as a system app (you can't uninstall it in usual way). This app have no option to add/manage account as I shown on the screenshots above.
Thanks to ROOT i was able to remove that app completely from /system/apps , and installed official Gmail app from the store. In the official app there is full managing functionality for accounts and i was able to add multiple gmails there.
I highly recommend to uninstall pre-installed Drive and Youtube apps too.
In the general settings menu of Android there is still no manage account section, but at least I can get there through Gmail now.
Thanks to everybody for your help !
