Help in hiding apps - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi is there anyway to hide apps from menu and open it in some other way. I have root access.
2. Its there any way to find our firmware version when I received it

1. I use Go Launcher. The app start has an option to select which apps you wish to hide.
Open app drawer / phone menu / hide app / check apps to hide / ok
2. Mix and matching your firmware will change your product code, and will not be recognised. To check for original, look on the box your phone came in or under the battery for product code.

How to unhide the dialer

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.

(REQUEST) Simple apk to launch a activity.

Hi all can a make a request for some one to make me a simple apk to add a icon to the app drawer and launch a activity I dont want the app to have a ui I just need it to launch a activity. This will be for a custom ROM. This is a script that would do the same thing.

By app drawer do you mean the folder that shows your installed apps? If so your request doesn't make sense as all installed apps go there.
If however you mean on your home screen just hold finger down til menu shows and on there choose "application" and then choose the app you want on it. Then it puts the icon on screen for you.

I mean the 1st option some apps dont go into the app drawer basically I know I can just make a shortcut on the desktop to the selected activity but I would like a installable apk that launches the above activity from the app drawer not as a shortcut on the desktop. If any one can make this I will be very greatfull.

The activity is a selected page in a motorola app that moto decided to hide from us.

Hide files in android

Hello guys. I was nokia user since 6 years & I'm new on android. I just want to take information there are many file managers which have attribute option to modified any file.... i.e to hide files simply on their original path whatever the files stored anywhere but in android, there are also many file browser but these don't have attribute option to hide, mean there is only every separate application to hide files. It does not matter but the issue is that these applications hide the applications as well as it also moves the the files from its original path which i don't like. Can any kind man tell me the any file browser with attribute option to hide files or any hide application without moving the files. Thanx a lot for reading & suggestions.
Use root explorer...to hide a file in android simply put a (.) Before the file name..without the brackets..itll hide itself without changing its location but in root explorer ull havta go into the preference and uncheck show hidden files also!

if you're using touchwiz launcher if you press menu there is a 'hide applications' option where you choose which ones you'd like to hide from the app drawer (if that's what you're talking about - not sure when you say hide 'files')

Hide files, make them invisible from a normal directory listing. The answer is correctly given above.

How to launch an app that is in stealth mode?

Hi everyone. I recently downloaded gallery vault by thinkyeah and I like it because it doesn't appear on my phone at all except when you call using ##passcode. However I accidentally stopped the program that will open it using the ##passcode and now have no way of retrieving my hidden files. Any help would be great.
Now, when I call ##passcode my phone literally dials and calls it as opposed to automatically running the app.

Even when I go to the google play link, there is just an "uninstall" button where there usually is an "open" or run app button.

Go to /system/app and run the apk.

Thanks but the apk isn't there. I checked...

Try to uninstall and reinstall the app it should automatically take the hidden files

If you stopped it when you reboot the phone must be working again.
You can uninstall it, the images are placed in .thinkyeah folder and stands there after uninstall.
Btw, the installed app is in data/app, but you can't launch from there.

its very easy .
Go in your phone settings, then chose lock screen/ security ( not sure if its the same words in the phone as I have my menu in french ((Ecran de Verrouillage / securité )) then go all the way down in that menu and open something like " Other security parameters" in french (( Autres parametres de securité))
then " administrator Peripheral " in french I have (( Administrateur de peripherique))
and there you will see a few apps, and you can chose Adminsitrator or not, your vault is in " green" make it Off ( grey color)
that's all

App icons missing from homescreen

When i'm in the system (non-oui) launcher and i drag an icon of a system app to the top to remove it, i get an error that it can't be removed. However the icon still disappears from the homescreens for some apps. The app is still visible in the app manager in settings and an icon can be added to the oui interface. The app isn't disabled
Can anyone tell me how i can get all invisible app icons back in my homescreens? I have a 1gb/8gb 2100mhz developers edition model with the latest stock software.
As a temporary solution i've installed an app drawer app...

In app manager find the launcher and clear its data.this simply refresh the launcher and make it create lost icons again.
