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.

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
After installed the application, the application will be shown in the launch center. Some application has one apk file but have two shortcuts in the launch center.
where are these information stored? How could one apk file to have two shortcuts? Thanks.
Shortcuts can have many. You can make 100 as well.
I think the one you meant is on launcher. In app drawer, you will only have one.

By info, if you meant the application itself then it's stored at system/app.
(P.S: You need Root Explorer or some other third-party file explorer in order to access them)
Info- goto settings>applications>manage applications
e.g.: i have installed goContact. But in the application drawer, it has goDialer and goContact, both linked to the goContact.apk.
How is this done?

As many "intents" as an application has, it can have direct shortcuts to. In this case, they have the two main intents, contacts/dialer, and they want both to be separately accessible. Just like maps has maps, places, latitude, and navigation.
thanks. got it.

I am in a very similar spot if not exactly the same and so I thought it be fitting to put my situation over here.
I upgraded to Android 7 from Android 6 and I am running on is Samsung j7 rooted phone. immediately after installation I could see that was a phone icon being offered by my launcher which is Nova. I am not sure what happened but right now there is no phone app icon at all that natively belongs to the Android 7 OS I have to use a third party dialler tone and that in turn invokes the phone app. I am not sure what I am missing but there are three phone apps in system directory they all have different APK locations and APK names but they all refer to the same Android package is that not strange ?
my questions
-how do I invoke an APK file that does not have a shortcut offered by my launcher and I have confirmed that there are no hidden apps.
I have disabled the original Home Launcher icon or else uninstalled it because I do not need the launcher from Samsung since I am using Nova
-there are three apps that refer to the same package which of these three are dispensable and can be uninstalled how do I figure that out.
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.

Ignore this... App is still there, just not displaying in launcher. If Icon in their launcher is deleted, you can still access it through the gallery by swiping right for the camera.
I accidently deleted the Omate Camera app last night, but can't track it down. (Mea culpa:my ROM backup MIA as well)
Tried looking through Dees Troy's Bluetooth ROM for the apk, but didn't recognize it by name. App isn't in the Omate store, yet seemed to be proprietary Omate when I was using it.
Any help locating a copy to re-install would be appreciated (or even the name of the APK). Rather fond of my setup now and would rather not mess with it by reflashing.
If you think you got app and only icon is gone just go to setting in app manegmer find the luncher and tap on clear data bottom. This will rest your luncher and bring your all app again.
But if you have uninstalled the app by root access the easiest way is flashing new ROM.I hope this help you.

About 2 days ago my phone icon changed. It's like another icon is placed over it. And it looks like that on my apps page. I have searched deeply to see if this had happened to anyone else and to avail. Show box is the only 3rd party app that i have downloaded. I don't download apps that often either. Any help is appreciated!
(And apparently i can't add a photo till i have posted 10 times)
Go to configurations, apps, on all apps tab look for your launcher and tap on delete data
That worked, ty sir! It said basic launcher with 13 kb cleared it and it worked!
