Missing apps:
Flashlight
The genie widget that was on the sense4 port for the 3d. Was themed to match perfectly.
I would very much like these apps.
The keyboard.
Everytime I use something that brings up my keyboard, I get a select input method notification..won't go away??
Also, does anyone have issues with the xda app randomly freezing? It did this on the one x as well.
Thanks for any info

Someone posted the flashlight app but you should be able to find it in the HTC hub. Also, the keyboard input notification comes with ICS, as far as I know there's no way to disable it without some sort of mod but check your settings maybe it got added in =)
Thanks for the reply

Actually the HTC hub is different now? It used tobe an area just for HTC apps/plugins and now it seems like somewhat of an alternate market? I can't find any HTC widgets/apps?
In the hub goto applications - categories - HTC essentials

The HTChub on my EVO LTE does not allow me to go to Applications - Categories. When I click on "Applications" it loads a page with about 20 apps, all non-HTC, and doesn't give me any options for categories. When I go to Edit Tabs, it just lists one "Featured".
Anyone else have this issue? I really just want the flashlight app. I use it to much, It has always been a shortcut on my lockscreen.
Try downloading Quick Shortcut Maker from the Play Store. You will be able to find many apps HTC has hidden and make shortcuts to your home screen.

Yeah, that's really wacky. They must have changed it recently. You used to be able to get more apps that were from htc. Now it is stuck on just the featured apps and the htc flashlight is no longer in there.

Can someone please tell me a way of how to hide apps on a non-rooted Evo 3d and other phones? I have only seen apps that require root for this feature to be effective.
Thanks
You mean just from the app drawer? Or punch in a secret code in the dialer or something?

"Go launcher ex" allows you to hide apps from your app drawer, if that is what you are asking.
ADW does that too, open up the app drawer, hit menu and set up group.
App Locker II - Fake Crash is what I use. Instead of hiding the app it just mimics a stubborn app force closing all the time. Don't really have any apps that need securing more than that. That's the free version, the same developer makes more secure paid versions.
Audio manager. looks like an audio app but you can actually have the fake crash report show or also hid apps/pics/vids completely with root. That along with private sms box should secure your phone quite well from wandering eyes. Not that I know from experience or anything...

I like that a lot better than the one I've been using. For a free app, it has a ton of features. Thanks!
A way to hide apps

Another vote for GO Launcher Ex. I've tried the major launcher apps, and GO seems to work the best for me on my EVO 3D.

You don't need root to run Go Launcher, it does replace sense though. Just search the market for "Go Launcher" then open app drawer, press menu, then hide app. Long time user of Launcher Plus and am happy I made the switch.
Is there any way I can do this using Sense, without changing to another launcher?
Maybe you can try downloading Z4root and temporarily root your phone to use the other apps. Not sure if on reboot the apps will stay hidden or not though, but it might be worth a try because I think every other solution out there is going to require root.
There's an app by the same developer as App Lock II called Invisible Protector that looks like it may be what you're looking for. Doesn't say it needs root in the description, and has a free 3 day trial.

Hey everyone. I was wondering if there was a method to change the icon set in Touchwiz 4.0 (yes im rooted) to something else other then what they have as stock.
And furthermore, ARE there any icon sets out there? I saw a couple of cool looking screens in the post your screenshot thread, but i'm not sure if that was because they were using some different launcher.
Thanks,

I am also interested in this. I really like touch wiz ui and all the features but i strongly dislike the childlike icons. Is there anyway we can change the icons without changing launchers?
I was wondering if we can have the
HTC Sensation XE Lock screen (with the circle to launch)
on the Samsung Galaxy S ll
The HTC lockscreen is cool. Just get the app Agilelock. It duplicates it perfectly. Only issue i found is right when you install, it pops up a message that you cant read, unless you can read some form of chinese. Hit the right button. The left button will download something.

They probably used a theme (with a custom launcher). I think launcher themes change entire icon sets. Other than that, idk.

you do the app association for web urls? settings>app associations>web urls
i tried them both and ics browser+ and stock are just the same performance
chrome beta doesnt support flash
html5 is so much better tho
the current browsers also supports html5 videos
check it out. so good
listen, i think this browser sucks compared to sense 3 browser.
anyway, what you are seeing is by "pressure" your thumb is 'moving' on the touch screen, which is what brings up the menu and address bar. This browser works with "gestures" - means a tiny, or large, "L" shape thumb swipe will bring up the menu and address bar. It also works as a backwards "L" for left handed users. Swipe a small, quick "L" shape anywhere on the page and you will get the menu and address bar. otherwise, you have to scroll allllll the way back up to the top to get it.
Anyone find any other gestures or help screen about what all motions do things??
p.s. - I STILL CAN NOT get the status bar while using the broswer!!!!! HOW DO I GET THE STATUS BAR TO COME BACK?????????????

Same here. Stock aosp browser got it right before HTC messed it up
Edit: removed, wrong thread!
Because of the constant Sense reloads I downloaded and am using the Nova launcher.
While I like it a lot, the one thing I miss is the HTC photo gallery. I'm not finding anything out there that matches it. What I am looking for is a full screen widget for one of the home screens that shows all of the photos from your device just as the HTC gallery/album does. What I have seen out there either is an app you have to activated before you get to the album or a widget where you have to go in and select which photos you want to show on the screen.
Any help?
I'm more curious why you were getting sense reloads. I'm not having any issue like that at all, and haven't seen it reported on the mikmik.

Well, in general Sense has had reloading troubles across platforms for about a year or so depending on the device and the update where it seems to have started:

HTC's "community" forum had a number of threads about it which seem to have been deleted:

Specifically with the EVO LTE:

This is also a problem on the One X:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1601619.html
So, while perhaps not for all, it is an issue. It may depend on what app you are leaving to get back to the home page (seems to happen every time with Chrome) or how many apps "open" or how much memory being used, or who knows... And as you can see from the threads, there have been lots of suggestions and supposed "solutions" which don't seem to solve and sure didn't for me. Got so bad that started considering taking the LTE back before the 14 days was up. But Nova solved this problem. Not only do i like the launcher, there have been no loading/reloading"resets since I installed it.
And, in any case, I find I like the NOVA launcher and plan to stick with it at least until we have fully functional stable ROMs and I am fairly certain there wont be any major OTA updates (one hearsay post I saw suggested a recent update to the International One X helped the reload issue but can't find a confirmation).
Which brings me back to the ONE thing I did like about Sense that I cant seem to replicate, a photo gallery that accesses all of your pics and displays them all the time on one of the home screens, just like the HTC Gallery does.
Anybody????
So, is this impossible to do?
I would like to know if this is at all possible.

First, I'm not a developer (any more), just a novice user of a Nexus 10.
I've been playing with various widgets, putting them on the home screen & building groups of apps to keep the screen simple,
so I can actually see my wallpaper. (Nothing special, just pics I like.)
Problem is that huge Google bar at the top. Is there an simple way to get rid of it, like the select-drag-drop for other home screen stuff.?
Also, there seems to be some limits on where I can actually put apps or widgets. Is there a way to adjust this too?
I'd really like to put a dashboard widget in place of that Google bar.
Finally, is there a way to disable Google when I select or swipe nearby the bottom of the screen?
This is a real pain-in-the-patootie when playing solitaire & the cards get near the bottom of the screen.
Thanks in advance. I could not find this anywhere in the Q&A forum for Android.
Try a different launcher, like nova, which will allow you to disable the persistent search bar.
Ok, what' a "launcher"?

Sounds helpful, if I knew what a launcher is.
I am soooooo out of date re: computers of any kind anymore...
Just go on google play and search "launcher"! It is the app which launches other apps, provides the app drawer, and many other setting options, like how pages scroll, etc.
Thanks!
Thanks for the info. I'll go see whats I can find, & come back here to make sure its a good one.

How to I get to the root file system to modify filenames?
I'm on a Nexus 10. Any idea what app/widget/setting function to use?
I've got "androzip" which let's me see the file system down to a certain point ( /.) & shows a bunch of folders,
but crashes when I try to see what's in the folder named "root"
Suggested launcher?

I just now realized that you suggest a launcher here... Doh!
The other suggestion about changing s filename may be good too. I suspect a launcher will be safer for me.
Yes, using a launcher is better. Otherwise you'd have to unlock the bootloader of Nexus 10, which will wipe all your data, then set it up all over again and restore backed up data, then get into the root filesystem and modify the file name of the app file, which can be too much since you say you're not experienced (unless you're interested in learning to do all that) The app is called QuickSearchBox.apk btw not GoogleSearchBox.apk.
Also, custom launchers like Nova and Apex launcher look exactly the same as the default launcher you're using right now, but have a boatload of additional features a lot of which you may find interesting and useful. The default (stock) launcher is very basic in functionality.

Much nicer than Android basic, more "toys" to play with & no Google bar at the top!
I even learned what a home screen actually is & have set up several for different uses.
Another fun time waster to play with beyond just games... would be nice to set
different wallpaper for each screen, but being able to actually see the whole
image is really nice.
I think I'll get the Pro version to get rid of other Google launch with the sweep/touch near
the bottom of screen- the answer to the second part of my original question.
Thanks to all who replied... I feel like such a noon at this point. These forums are truly the best place
to find/get answers to basics questions. The Help provided by Google is distinctly lacking in detail.
Now to search for answers to more questions....
damn. the stock launcher is actually pretty nice on the hydro edge at least for my pop but I want that damned google bar gone (BUT WANT google search and google now) I just want the stupid useless homescreen bar gone (its too small for him to use he can't hit the mic icon reliably) so I just put a regular voice search icon on the screen for him.

Agree with you
Is there any way to go into system and delete it all together?
You can't delete system apps unless you are rooted, which if you have a nexus device than this is super easy
Yes as mentioned before the simple fix is just use another launcher, there are many amazing ones to pick from often with a free version that works great
As for removing the bar from the stock launcher the easiest way would be to decompile the .apk and find the xml file for it and chances are change a simple bit of code from true to false but without ever decompiling this myself can't say how its set up. But in truth this may be more work than it is worth
