I have Sense 5 rom 1.0.6 running on my phone and every time I try to open the stock messaging app is says insufficient permissions. I have fixed permissions via Rom Manager and TWRP recovery with no luck. Anyone got any suggestions?
open the app tray and put the messages app from the action bar back into the app tray, then re-add the messages application to the action bar at the bottom and it should open for you.
That did it thanks. God I love this site.

Hi,
I have somehow accidently deleted the Messaging Icon from the undertray where the 4 standard icons go, now the problem is the messaging icon is not in the applications so cannot drag it back there again!
Does someone know how I can get this back, if I search the phone the Messaging Icon is there and I can click it to go to messaging, but it just isn't in the applications so cannot drag it back when editing the undertray.
I am completely stock and not rooted (yet...)
Thanks in advance,
Go to applications, click on the menu button and select list view. This is an alphabetical sort, so messaging should be there under M.
how the devil did you do that! i thought the four icons in TW4 were locked in place? id love to be able to change them but keep the TW4 launcher
kinda mad since your not rooted, you have any idea how you did it?

Applications -> Menu -> Edit
Now you can drag and drop the icons around
@Sleepycat3 Thanks for the reply, I tried as you suggested but the Messaging App is not in the list (see attachment).
Anyone got anymore suggestions, it is really driving me mad!!
@Crucio_ As to how I did it, I have now worked that out...
Hit Applications, Press Menu, then Press Edit you can now drag all Apps around including the undertray. Be careful though if you remove the Messaging App you can't get it back - As I have found out
I would suggest trying to re install the message app, or push it with adb/root explorer. But if your not rooted i don't know enough about these things to give you proper advice.
Only thing i would say try is get the .apk for the message app and install it and see what happens

I have a same problem. how do i fix it?
Hi, I believe I read that with ICS, Google made it possible to remove carrier and phone producer apps. I have been through the settings but can't seem to find where to do so. Can someone help me?
Also, how do you remove eg. the contacts or messages icon? Before the update it was no problem to replace the custom SMS icon with another app, but it seems impossible now.

go to PLAYMARKET and get ICONCHANGER (RootUser) and you can download icons from the APPandTHEMES or you can create them on pgn format ! its so f. easy
I think you misunderstand, I want to replace the stock SMS app shortcut with a shortcut to the Go SMS app. But thanks anyway
-------------
Edit: I found out, I remembered it incorrectly and it's just going to apps, edit -> drag icon down to the touchwiz bar.
ok, im trying to hide this app, from the app drawer by editing the manifest.xml file, and i did it, to be specific i just remove this line from manifest.xml "<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />" but i want to hide it, and still have the option to open it...
i tried to start the application using titanium backup, but it doesnt give the option to open app...
im trying to do it by editing manifest.xml. i know there apps to hide anothers app..
if you have any idea of how to, ill appreciate it...
(im not an expert on this, and i dont even know if im asking in the right forum)
Hey, did you come across a solution? I'm facing exactly the same problem right now: The App's gone from the drawer but no longer executable by no means.
Sorry for bumping this old thread, but I endured reading about 10 pages of search results without success.
Thanks in advance!
You can use my app "App Quarantine" to do the job. You can disable the app in question (so it's no longer in the application drawer) and re-enable it as you want. Therefore you could use the home screen widget for quickly launching the app.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I'm searching for a solution to get along without any 3rd party app.
Which means, I want the app to be "set invisible" before even installing it on the phone. I'd really like to know, which file of the apk has to be edited in which way to achieve this.
It'd be totally fine if it simply didn''t appear on the drawer.
Any other ideas?
I have an idea.
I have replaced the icons with a completely transparent .png image and recompiled the apk.
Remember you should not change the file name of the original icon, just replace the content.
I have used apk editor pro for this work.
The app will be in the launcher or app drawer but it will remain invisible.
You should also replace the app name with 3 to 5 spacebars.You can remember the position of the app in the app drawer.
Everyone will see you tapped on a empty space and a app started
I have tested this.
So you can be sure.
One more thing
If you see any folder like mipmap_anydpi_xxx in /res you should delete it

So where should I post the reply?
OK the question was already put but here is what I want
there is an app RoundR. I have downloaded it and installed it from the google play.
Now
I want it to put it in the system app. That's ok, notification can be hidden ok, but I want it to be removed from the app drawer too... so to take part of the system... like in MIUI v5.
Ideea?
I'm new to phone modding, so please be forgiving.
I just flashed Slim-i9100-4.3.build.2-OFFICIAL-1334 and I want to be able to use Google Play etc., so I downloaded Slim_aroma_selectable_gapps.4.3.build.2 and I want to make sure everything goes smoothly.
So, should I just go to recovery and flash the zip? That's it? Should I wipe both caches beforehand?
More questions:
- can I somehow change the view in Gallery to list (with small thumbs maybe)? The only two options are grid and filmstrip and they both suck for browsing movie clips.
- how can I add mobile data on/off shortcut to the notification drawer? I know I can modify the quick settings section, but that just adds an unneccesary step. Vanilla Android has that!
- can I make the font in the status bar slightly bigger? It's too tiny.

You should of flashed gapps straight after flashing the rom. It should be ok to just flash gapps tho.
There might be a gallery on the play store for that but not sure.
Im dont use Slim but its base is cyanogenmod. You should have a toggle there with your network name? If so that is your data toggle.

yes flash gapps from recovery, always wipe cache and dalvik before is best practice. Data on/off on notification, that should be there in slim (if I remember rightly) You could check out widgetsoid to put toggle on home screen, I find this quite useful for seeing at a glance what is going on and abilty to change immediately as needed. You may also want to check out Tasker (paid app) I wouldn't be without it, then you can easily automate data on/off for what ever you like - example: screen off/data off - screen on/data on, browser on/off/data on/off etc.
Yes, you can make status bar bigger from within slim settings - change dpi to 240 (which will restore your phone to original screen size), if you wanted to get more technical you could use xposed settings with per app settings module, this works a dream for me, then you can set ui to 240 for example and other apps as you like them.
Also - quick pic may be a suitable solution for your gallery issue, I find this a good app.
Hope this helps
Happy modding!
Thanks for the replies. I have another problem and I don't want to make another thread, so here goes (it's a bit complicated, so bear with me):
I flashed the aroma gapps ROM and the installation process went fine, BUT it somehow corrupted my presonal/contact data. I would get "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped." and "Unfortunately, dialer has stopped." errors. Maybe because I didn't wipe cache/dalvik?
Anyway, I read somewhere that to fix that you should disable and clear cache/date of:
- DRM Protected Content Storage
- Media Storage
- Dialer
- Contacts
- Contacts Storage
Which is what I did, but I think I did one too many things. The errors are gone, the contacts list is fine, I can send SMS and call no problem.
But now when I connect the phone to my PC, I can't see any folders in Windows Explorer! I can see the GT-I9100 icon in My Computer, I can see "Internal Storage" and "SD Card" on it, just not any contents. 0 folders, no hidden ones either.
Also I can't see any ringtones in the Settings->Sound->Phone ringtone menu, same goes for Notification sound. It only lists "none" as an available tone. Yeah.
HI, Today i have successfully installed slim-4.3 build 2.1 unofficial on my HTC HD2, after successfully installing SlimBean aroma gapps build 2 through recovery, there was no gapps package application in my launcher , what will be the problem ?
Slimbean 4.2.2, contacts and dialer apk of stock 4.1.2
Is there any way to have the contacts and dialer apks of Stock 4.1.2 can be installed/flashed in slimbean 4.2.2.
would be nice if there's a prompt reply.
