Deleting app shortcut from laucher drawer default - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi . I want ask devs for help. Does any dev know where and how I can delete app shortcut from app drawer because I added shortcut to settings.apk and now I dont need another shortcut in app drawer. See attachment down

Hey,
i cant reply in PM for some reason...
i forgot to mention -
i have added shortcuts for the apps im removing from the app drawer into the settings.apk
if i remove
Code:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
like you mentioned in PM, the app doesnt launch at all
if i just remove
Code:
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
the shortcut is deleted from the app drawer and the app still runs (from the settings menu), but not if i wipe before flashing
i have tried this with:
download all
beats audio/awesome beats (dsp manager) - non market app
apex launcher
nova launcher
cwm manager
quickpanel settings - non market app
fast dormancy toggle - non market app
these are all apps i have shortcuts to in my settings menu
i have compared the manifest from these apps to other apps that are hidden from view (cpu sleep for example):
Code:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
</intent-filter>
that still has the intent filter and the main action inside it, but not the launcher - so its exactly the same as how im doing it - and cpu sleep works after wiping and flashing (without me modding it)

if you doing full wipe you delete - app data and cache files then app must be again installed and then it go to FC because you demage signature I think.
Before you edit signature but app was installed it has cached files that is reason why it working. Its fake and app is demage only she does not know .) but maybe is problem elsewhere I dont know ask on http://stackoverflow.com/

[HOW] remove status bar clock for Xperia S?

Hello,
I think we don't need clock in status bar cause everyone use some kind of widget that provide us with time information so I try to remove it by deleting line
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/clock" androidaddingLeft="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
from res/layout/status_bar.xml in SystemUI.apk file. I recompile it without errors and clock remains in status bar
Someone was maybe successful in removing clock from status bar? Maybe someone knows how can we hide it if it is to difficult to remove it?
Thanx in advance!
So each time you want to know the time you go to your homescreen?

I think it would be better if this post is in the dev sub forum.
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
No time widget on any of my screens. I use that status bar time as the main.
OK, OK, OK let we just have possibility to remove it by MOD and if someone wants to use this mod, then OK, and if not it's also OK
So, someone know how to remove it?

[Q] Edit StatusBar different for HomeScreen & InApp

I started playing with the SystemUI.apk, first because with the last official ROM of my JiayuG4A the status bar became trasparent (and i hated that thing) then because now i want to try a couple of things to edit further my smartphone (JB 4.2.2)
Here's the question:
I would like to create two different BackGround for my StatusBar, on HomeScreen view, and on InApp view:
Like, when I'm working on the desktop, on the drawer (maybe) etc, there should be a particular background
while, when I'm with an App opened (the browser, the messages, whatever) there should be another background.
Looking on the internet and inside SystemUI/res/Layout i thought this:
Gemini_Super_Status_Bar.xml & Super_Status_Bar.xml are used to define the StatusBar for the HomeScreen view
Gemini_Status_Bar.xml & Status_Bar.xml are used to define the StatusBar for the InApp view
So i made this changes:
SystemUI/res/drawable/ gradient_sb.xml​
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape android:shape="rectangle"
xmlns:android="there's a link here, i can't post it XD">
<gradient
android:startColor="#ff000000"
android:endColor="#44000000"
android:angle="270.0"
android:centerColor="#bb000000" />
</shape>
SystemUI/res/layout/ gemini_super_status_bar.xml & super_status_bar.xml​
Code:
android:background="@drawable/gradient_sb"
SystemUI/res/layout/ gemini_status_bar.xml & status_bar.xml​
Code:
android:background="#ff000000"
I checked the apk a couple of times before putting it inside the system/app folder of my device. So i'm sure that these changes have been made.
But now the StatusBar appears to be always black and without gradient.
Is there something i missed, something i need to do to make this changes work?
Help please!!

Web App Icon on Homescreen won't refresh!

Hi guys,
I am developing a homepage for my school's video project (videowerden.de)and I wanted to integrate support for Homescreen Web App Icons on iOS and Android.
I have already managed to have our custom icon displayed when you add our website to homescreen on a mobile phone or tablet (via Chrome browser), but now I have changed the icon (I was not satisfied with the first version) and the changes won't apply!
Everytime I delete the Web App icon from Homescreen and try to set it up again, the old icon reappears! It seems to be cached somewhere on my device (HTC One)
Clearing my Chrome's chache or restarting the phone won't help, what can I do?!?
Here's the code I used in my website's head.html:
HTML:
<!-- iOS and Android Homescreen Icons -->
<link rel="shortcut icon" sizes="196x196" href="icon-196x196.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="apple-touch-icon.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" href="apple-touch-icon.png" />
Icons are stored in website's root directory.
ANY IDEAS?!

Multiple icons for 1 app in an Icon Pack

I'm not sure how to put this to words in any understandable way so I'll give my latest attempt on a line of my appfilter.xml:
Code:
<item drawable="{'banking1', 'banking2', 'banking3', 'banking4'}" component="ComponentInfo{com.bank.name.and.stuff/banky.bank}" />
Is it possible to get 1 component using multiple drawables? for the banking app I want to include a coloured, grey, black, and white version of the icon in the Icon Pack but I'm super duper new to any of this and can't find it in any tutorial or wiki so I hope somebody here has an idea.
