Hello folks.
I want to ask two questions->
* I hid some apps (dirty minds should not think about that....) in order to hide the tools i used for customizing my hpone. I hid them by opening app drawer, going to options->hide apps. But now i cant find any option to show them. Can anyone tell me where its located?
* When is final version of JB going to release for galaxy s3? Every rom has a new update almost every week. I am tired of updating my rom and installing things again and again. But now i have decided to wait till final release. So when is final JB going to be released?
* What is meaning of "ZipAlign". I see many roms zip align apps. How is it useful? What is its meaning?
Tnx to helper.

Obviously not that simpel or you wouldn`t have to post these questions:
1. Search with root explorer or similar app for that file
2. Official JB will roll out within 3-4 weeks i guess, maybe earlier leaks on sammobile
3. Zipalign, see http://developer.android.com/tools/help/zipalign.html
Use the search button, all your questions could have been googled and anwered under 2 minutes mate, but off course it is much more convenient for you to let others search for your answers

Well...
I understood last two...
Thanks for that.
But for first one, i didnt understand a thing.
All i did is->
opened app drawer with default launcher. Go to options->Hide Applications and hid some of them
But i couldnt find option to re-show them. Those were Installed Custom apps. No system apps.
So how do i re-show them?

If you are in TW launcher go to settings, applications, press menu button (left below next to home) and select app preferences and restore original settings. That should make your hidden apps visible again.

I never hide apps, so i would advice you to reflash the rom you are on without a wipe. This will fix your problem. And why would you hide your apps anway i wonder.
try going settings/app manager/all and see if they appear as disabled at the bottom.....don't use tw myself so just guessing here
Lol. Go in the app drawer, press Menu button, Show hidden apps. LoL. That's how it is on my phone.

Hey everyone, hopefully this isn't a total noob question, but after the ICS OTA upgrade, I have no phone (Dialer) application.
That bar that runs across the bottom was totally blank besides the "All apps" button and I have no dialer icon on the home screen. When i go into all apps, I do not have a (Dialer) application listed. I know the phone application is still on the phone somewhere because I can call people directly from my contacts, but i have no way to dial a number manually from what i can tell. If I go to settings > Apps > All, I can see the dialer there, but I have no way to create a shortcut to the dialer that I can use.
Anyone got any ideas on that?
It should be called "Phone" in the app tray. Is that missing too? What happens if you hit the search button and enter Phone, the icon should show up and you can drag it to the desktop or tray from there.

The new app tray had no icons in it at all besides the "All apps" button.

Long press on it, it should let you move it to the screen.
I am having the same issue as well. It is nowhere to be found in the app tray and the only way to access it is through the people app. I did have it a shortcut before installing the OTA on my lockscreen and that one still works so it is still functioning, I just can't find it!

Ya, unless someone finds a solution I'll be factory resetting my phone. I hope that means I don't have to download the OTA again, but whatever. For now I just downloaded a phone dialer from the Play Store. There are a bunch of them for free. I downloaded exDialer for now since it has no crazy permissions.

Pre-ota no dialer in the app drawer

I am pretty sure it was in mine before but regardless it is impossible to make a shortcut to it now. I have desktop visualizer and can't find it in either of the options on there, and if I long press to add widget/shortcut through Sense, it isn't there either.

You also appear to be missing the button for Verizon Wireless apps at the bottom.
Same Problem
New Guy here having the same problem.
Phone app is not present in the All Apps section and unable to get it onto the launcher bar at the bottom of the homescreen,
Like mentioned above, I can access the app via Settings/Apps/All but unable to get it from there.
The App icon is on my lock screen but it's a pain to have to lock out your phone just to make a call.
I also placed the People app on the launcher as a workaround.
Hopefully someone or HTC/Verizon can get a fix or this.
Long press on your screen... select 'shortcuts'...... then select 'activities'.... then scroll down to 'phone'... then select 'phone'. That should do it for you.
Doh!

Tried this but after "shortcuts" I don't have "activities". I'm guessing the other's with this same problem won't either. Damn, I thought you got it fixed for us.

I long press on the screen, hit shortcuts, and get a list of shortcuts (no activities option there) and no phone option. I have put a shortcut to the dialer on my phone before, I know where it should be and it is not there. Like I said above I also can't find it using third party options like desktop visualizer. It is gone.
Sorry, I'm doing this from memory since I'm not on the official OTA.... Its someplace in there. How about 'activities' and then 'apps'? There may be a shortcut to phone in there.
Ok so it did show up in desktop visualizer under apps and not "other" so I can make a shortcut to it on my screen but I won't be able to put it into the dashboard. It does not show up in anything from HTC aside from searching for it, using the people app, or going into manage apps.
Hey guys,
I recently had to switch from my SGS2 (much loved, but ultimately un-useable) to the Sony Xperia S.
This is my first Sony Android phone, and my third Android phone. I like to think that I am pretty well versed with the goings-on of the Android OS... but as can be expected - there is a little adjusting required when switching to a new device.
I am going to make a list of feature which I had grown pretty fond of during my time with the SGS2 - which I cannot seem to find in the Xperia S (I will also add general issues which hopefully you guys might have some solutions for). Hopefully you guys reading this will be able to advise and suggest solutions to these listed ailments, also feel free to add your own queries to this thread and I'll add them to the list.
1. No quick setting in notification bar pull-down (only link to system settings screen)
Solution 1 - Use 3rd party app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hb.settings&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLmhiLnNldHRpbmdzIl0.
2. No USB mass storage mode.
3. No task killer.
4. No outgoing call confirmation (option for pop-up dialoge box to confirm outgoing call)
5. Weather widget does not support current location (GPS).
I will update and edit this list as the post is replied to - and when we find more issues.
Please note: some of the missing features I'm listing might have been from 3rd party apps which I had installed on my SGS2 rather than feature of my SGS2... if this is the case - please let me know.
I look forward to everyones input and feedback.
Cheers.
Switch too this rom, and you have all your missed things.

Use custom ROM it will fix everything.
Thanks for the replies guys.
I am a little hesitant to start bootloader unlocking/rooting/flashing and such.
There is so much info to take in regarding the process, I'm worried I might miss something or get the wrong information. There are plenty of tutorials - but its almost as if there are too many. One tutorial will be teaching something, and it will say "Before we begin... make sure you have read this [LINK]", and it all seems a bit much.
I guess you could say that I dont have the stomach for custom ROM flashing, I'm just overwhelmed with all the technical info.
Can you guys suggest a simpler tutorial or break-down the process to reduce the steepness of the learning curve?
Thanks for any help.
first i think also... but it isnt so hard
just go on step by step, read just for next step and do the things in the step and then go to the next step... then it isnt so much information and you don't forget something
and after you unlock the bootloader and flash the first Rom/kernel with working root, you know what the process was good for
1. For quick settings use app from market
2. There is no mass storage mode
3. Hold the home icon for task killer
4. No, but why do you need that?

1. What is the Quick Settings app?
2. OK
3. Holding home button brings up the recent app list - then you can remove apps from this list. Is this the same as the task killer? the SGS2 had both features.
4. I just thought it was a handy option.

Task killer isn't the best thing. You only need it when you're really out of memory. Just swiping away is enough.
Quick settings is or an app or a mod that does the same thing from power controls on GS2.

You can have toggles in notifications. You only need to unlock bootloader and use a custom kernel to flash SystemUI.apk from xperia GX through CWM.
To unlock your bootloader follow these instructions:

then flash the advanced custom kernel, which is the simplest one, using these:

In Android 4.4 Sony has introduced the "What's New" Button.
It is on the same arc as the Google now button when swiping up from the home button.
What annoys me is that now the now button is off to the right with the what's new button occupying the left side of the half circle.
If any one knows a way to disable the What's New button and have the google now back in the center, please tell me.

Maybe this app can fix this: Home Button Launcher?
It's on the play store. The forum won't allow me to paste the URL, sorry.
I do not have a xperia z2 to test it.
No, it does' work. I mean, the app works but it replaces the Google Now with this app. So when you swipe from the bottom you have on the left "What's New" and on the right what ever you set up with this app.

TB requires rooting. However, since we have root even for LB (look in Original Development forum) this shouldn't be such a big problem anymore.
If you are against rooting at all, you're out of luck as far as I know currently. Sorry.
I've tried to remove on a rooted 402 rom using both ES file explorer and titanium backup without success, they both say uninstall failed.

Just root your phone and use titanium backup to freeze it. worked forme.
If you root your device you can delete what ever you want from system/app and priv-app folder.
Of course, watch what are you doing, don't delete system files (Google advance debloating for that)
You can delete Google now as well, what's new and many other things.
Your device will be faster and boot tume will be significantly improved..

that's what it looks like for me now too. Is there any way to throw something else in there in place of what's new or google? Kind of a handly way to have a shortcut, but I see no way to customize it, unless I'm missing something.

No, you can't just add it.
We could build mod but as we have PIE toolbar in GravityBox - use that.

get it done without root
I just got my Z2 two days ago and I ran into the same problem : What's New app sucks.
So here is the solution without root
1) run adb (I assume you have a working adb)
2) adb shell
3) pm block com.sonymobile.advancedwidget.entrance
4) reboot
5) Done!
And Please "Thanks" me if this works for you.
Has anyone tested to see of it works? Mine were delivered but I won't get home to play until tonight.
Just got the attention of the Themer folks (others said "wasn't compatible" in their sub forums) and they said the have a LG G3 on the way for testing.
Time for a big update here.
Time for a big update here. I got home last night and played around with my new phone for a couple of hours.
Once it was done restoring apps I hit the home button and guess what, it had restored Themer from the market.
It works 100 perfectly fine. The only issue I had was trying to go in to choose a theme.
It kept giving me a pop up that my device wasn't supported. To get past that I hit OK and instead of hitting a category just clicked on the themes pane to the right. I was able to scroll down and select one, and install it, everything is perfect.
Do most items get themed? Can you post some pics?
I'm assuming you haven't used femur before? I'll post some pictures, it basically is a replacement launcher that has widgets and icons already built in, groups and everything else. It's one of the more impressive apps I've seen on Android.
This is the current theme I have on.

Please explain how did u bypass that? i have been trying to get a theme to choose
LOL
You just quoted to me on how to do it.
"Instead of hitting a category i just clicked on the themes pane to the right. I was able to scroll down and select one, and install it, everything is perfect"
So.
You try to click on categories and it gives you the popup. Hit OK or whatever to get rid of that screen, and click on the right hand side of the screen (you might be able to swipe).and you can access the list of themes and select one.
I found you CAN click on Exported, just not categories.
Here's another of my favorite themes on Themer.

ive never used the theme app. i dont supposed you have a link? i cant seem to find it?
thanks in advance
They have a sub forum here on xda-developers, but the app is available in the markets. It is not compatible with the g3 according to them, so u can't download it. I was only able to download it because I had it backed up from my previous phone.

Awesome idea dude. Themer. Outs a game changer, haven't taken it off of my phone or stored using it since it came out. What do you think about it?
The themes are great, but the customization is fantastic.

I don't know that I know what that is. I use the status bar double tap to turn off the screen.
the knock feature is the double to wake and double tap to sleep
little update
i managed to get double tap to sleep working with themer.
i installed this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
then went into themer settings, gestures and set a double tap to that app. works great
Good tip neckbonest. Got it working in my next launcher now. Thanks
How did you guys get themer to work on your G3 on lollipop. I can't get any themes to show in themes menu and when I download a theme from chrome and push it to the themes folder it wont show up! I'd love to be able to use themer.
