For rom builders, got to system/customize/mns/ and there you will find a default.XML. open it in notepad plus. Find a line that says hide apps and delete just that line. Now put it in your rom and do a full wipe then flash the rom. You will see your dialer in the app drawer

Doesn't the ro.phone.function in build.prop unhide the dialer too?
Now getting voice calls to work in HC, that's the tricky bit
No not the phone app. Most roms. Have a permanent button in the Rosie so there is no need to show the dialer.apk . So pretty much all roms hide it.

So I'm trying to figure out the point to the blacklist feature in Handcent. I know it hides all the texts that are on the list, but they are still accessible via the stock messaging app no problem. Is there a way to stop the stock app from showing particular messages, or disable the stock app all together? Just seems like a pointless feature to have if it is bypassed so easily.
remove the stock app from your phone, with root explorer

I wouldn't advise that. Isn't the stock MMS app tied into the framework? I believe this would kill your ability to send and receive messages.
I think the blacklist is to block who ever u want from texting you.

I always wondered if that was possible without breaking something....
With launcher pro you can hide it in the hidden apps list..or on adw just put it on your homescreen then.hold it then edit then change the name and change the icon then take off notifications

Launcher Pro allows you to hide applications and in the stock messaging app go to settings and disable navigation notifications. Problem solved.
Edit: I missed the post above mine.

if u are looking just to hide dome text so your partner wont find out....you need to download sms guard on the market ,install and go to settings and put a password do no one wont getting......that works perfectly....now the only problem is if the sent u a multimedia message it wont block ....hope it hepls
I've tried the blacklist from handcent myself but really didn't like it nor worked for me that well. Now I'm using blaclkist app from the market. Much better than the blacklist that comes in handcent.

If I was to change the icon of an app manually, would the app icon change back upon update of said app or do only the files that are newer get changed in the app? Hence technically the app icon, once changed will remain that way permanently?
Also, is there an easier way than using an apk editing tool to edit the app icons?

So basically you ressurected a dead thread because you don't pay attention to all these flashable mod zips or ask the devs behind the mods. Ppl edit the apks, repack the apks, and flash it to their device via cwm, and see the change that they made.
Download from source and edit prior to packing the apk?

Unlocked and rooted now and I'm seeing all those htc apps in the system app folder. How do we get those to show in the app drawer?
Thanks and of course apologies if this has been asked, I searched.

I'm not rooted but I used an app called Any Cut to make shortcuts for hidden apps on my desktop. Apparently if you use ADW Launcher or Go Launcher they show up and are accessible.
Both ADWLauncher EX and LPP Plus show all the apps, I'm not sure why Sense doesn't .......

Just using es file explorer will let you create a shortcut.

So how would you do this??
I don't have ADW installed right now (I had to have my phone replaced) but when I did it showed a CAMCORDER icon in the app drawer that could be used as a home screen shortcut.
With the totally stock ROM etc, it doesn't show up anywhere but if you hit the search button & type in camcorder it shows the icon & opens & works fine.
How would you create a home screen shortcut for camcorder with the stock Sense ROM??

Can't guarantee this is everything:
Camcorder
Car panel
Dock mode
Mirror
Quick lookup
Got it from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367185&highlight=hiding
Thanks. That thread is nice and was what I was searching for.
Shortcuts are fine but I'm hoping to have them in the sense app drawer.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
someone posted a thread a while back saying something about a Sense config file that has all of the apps and whether they are to be shown or hidden. now that we have perm root i'm sure that we could modify that file now but i can't find the thread that talked about it.
Edit: found it:

Thanks. I just tried to remove the line referring to the mirror, but it's still hidden from the drawer. I might/might not try some more but in the meantime I'll have to use search option.
Thanks again. This thread is useless other than the links to the other thread

did you reboot after modifying it? you might have to, or you might have to clear the cache, or hell, you might have to do a data wipe before it takes effect
for us unrooted folk, how do we make shortcuts from ES?

That's good advice. I'm not home now but I did reboot. Clearing cache sounds like a good attempt. I'm going to be trying that!
Clearing cache wasn't enough.. I'll be trying data wipe later.
And.... Clearing cache and data wipe was a no go. Already had to do a restore and it's nice to know CWMs workin

you dont need to delete anything install app and then change phone and contact shortcuts icons in your home screen by the ones of the app
howver you can use system contacts if you want and after install the app if you go to a contact and press to make a call it will ask you wich dialer you want to use by definition you mark the box and choose app dialer and thats it...
i try it, before post sorry for my english but dont delete those apps from system the solution is right there.
just press thanks if i help you
Hi...
I am currently using Neko95 GingerSnap, and, since i tried MIUI, i loved the UI, i use ExDialer.
When i missed a call, the notification only disappear (automatic) if i open the stock app.
I Linked exdialer to ex partition of sd, rebooted and converted to sys app (Link2SD).
You still have the stock apps, but they are small...
The next thing that i will try, after consult the community if it works, is to, before flash, exchange the stock apps for the ones that i will use... (if someone that reads this can tell, please...)
With best regards, Shaib Lftg
Are you talking about extracting the rom than replace the phone and contacts apk with the dialer and contacts you plan on using ie...rocket dial and renaming it to phone.apk and vice versa

When you get to calling somebody, it doesn't give you an option to choose what to dial with? I have dw contacts and use that different dialer
Otherwise go to phone and delete saved defaults
which dialer you use to call out is up to you. there is no default dialer.(edit: default is set when click on call link. use to call when link is clicked from web or email. to clear go into manage apps and click clear default) when you want to make a call and select phone you are selecting the dialer so just select ex dialer instead. if you want to delete the stock dialer then delete contacts.apk. this deletes dialer(phone) and contacts but ex dialer includes contacts.
Amen thanl you

This is how it looks wile on a call dpi is 260 i have install dw dialer and ex dialer but still this one comes up when making a call. There must be some thing rong on my end maybe
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
are you pressing phone icon? if so that is your problem. you have to press the ex dialer icon to get into it. phone is the dialer. you cant change what opens when pressing phone. that would be like wanting youtube to open when you press gmail. it is only the ui not the actual phone. if you want to only use ex dialer then put a shortcut to it in place of phone. you can delete contacts.apk so the stock dialer and contacts are gone.

what are you doing to get that dialer to come up? pressing phone or link from web or other?
There is a setting for one hand dialing and yours is set for left hand.
I click on ex dialer i delete the contact apk allready but it still comes up ill give it one more try
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
if contacts.apk is deleted that dialer should not be in your system anymore. the stock contacts and phone icons should be gone. you didnt delete contactsprovider.apk by mistake did you? and clicking on ex dialer should take you to ex dialer not the stock dialer. what happens if you search web for something with a phone number and click call tab from web page? first time should ask what app you want to use? what are your choices?
If you are set at 260 vs the 320 stock, it'll look that way, no?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Yes setting to 260 will offset the stock dialer like that and not ex dialer.
