Weird apps thing with cm10.1 - HTC Droid DNA

So, I installed the newest cm10.1 and gapps. For some reason, there is no option icon/ those three little dots on the google play store. I was wondering if there is something that I am missing?
Just really odd that I can't view "My Apps" to update manually.
EDIT:
Apparently, this is on all apps. Hard to change app settings when I don't have the ability. lol

Visit settings then system then hardware keys and set it as you wish, like app switch long press to open/close menu.
Edit: doesn't add the dots but let's you access the menu they bring up.

App icons not showing

I'm pretty sure I've read about this in other threads, but the apps that I have on my SD card only have the generic Android app icon on the home screen and inside folders on home screen.
I read on Google that you can use an app called Fast Reboot and it would restart Sense, but when I run it, it says it restarted Sense but it didn't...
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance.

go to personalize, then change the skin. Make sure you search before you post a new topic. Hope this helps though.
i found a way to fix it ...go to settings ....applications ....manage applications ...htc sense and then force stop the htc sense then press home ...sense will restart and the icons will show ...it worked for me

You know, I knew that would work but for some reason I just assumed that Sense wouldn't have been listed in the app list and just never bothered to actually check..... I feel stupid!
But thank you!

[Q] Is this feature available in CM7??

Is there anyway I can ADD an application to the recent app list (the one you get when you hold the home button)?
I dont want to assign the button to just a single app but to more than one...
I want it in a way that I get the app i want (in the top left corner) and also get the list of recent apps?
I am on Galaxy ace CM7 <grif_07>

But you could find an app that groups apps you want together and bind the app to the long press of home button. The setting is in cyanogenmod settings.

yah, thats what I am doing right now,
But it'd be better to have recent apps + an app manager on the list.

Reminded me about that feature. Tried it in B3 and it didn't work. Works now in Behrad's CM7. Long press menu still doesn't work right now though.

you mean what grif compiled for 2.3.7?
Long press menu is actually a brand thing. Didn't have this function with some other android phones.

You can try QuickDesk on the market.

Theres also wave launcher on the market too. QuickDesk is free however eats into RAM makes the phone a little laggy but its awesome.

Is anybody able to add a Flipboard widget to the homescreen? Apparently it comes with one but it doesn't show up in my widget drawer.
Edit: I got it to show up in Epsilon but not AOKP. Weird.

Okay so this app is very nice. Although, I have a glitch where I cannot go back to previous articles. As it just snaps back to my original page. Other than that, its really nice, but I'll stick with Pulse News.

Yeah, I have something similar to that--it glitches up and displays a certain page over and over even though you are changing pages and if you click on that page it goes to the article that should be displayed on that page, not the one that is displayed.

Indeed. I see you are running AOKP. I am too. Perhaps it is an AOKP issue? Can someone else confirm?
After a day of usage, I'm pretty impressed. You can set up an account using the red icon in the upper right corner. The one thing I would like to see is the ability to change the sources it uses for it's articles.

You CAN add/remove sources. Search for, let's say, Engadget. And Engadget will show up as one of the sources in the results. Click on that and then click on "+" icon to add it.
Very good!

Automatically Clear Notification - App

[deleted]
Orange Lightning said:
I've searched, and I cannot find any app that will automatically clear a specific notification once its been received. I keep receiving a useless notification all the time, and keep having to clear it. I want an app that will automatically clear that notification every time I receive it.
This thread is to see if anyone knows of ANY app that can do this, or
To (petition?) for an that can do this. So, if there isn't an app that can do this, POST HERE THAT YOU WANT ONE

Pent from Tasker, or Crafty Apps told me that there is no app because Android doesn't allow it, presumably for security reasons.
If this is true, this will be a sort of petition for Google to change that and make the option available if desired.

Yes!
i have been looking for this. i don't want my notifications to appear on the screen, but i want to get a vibrate notification, or a sound notification for my notifications for fb messenger, and textfree. i have used tasker for this, and all that i could do was make the status bar expand whenever i unlock my screen. it did not automatically clear it, so it wasn't helpful. i need this!
I have found a way to do this. you have to go to settings -> applications -> and choose the app. from there, uncheck the box for notifications, and you are good to go.

well, there are in my rom. i am running a jellybean rom, but i have seen it in other places too. maybe you should update your android version.

Yep, that's only possible on JellyBean. On other Android versions there isn't way to do it, and I think Google will not add it (because JellyBean already have it, so there is no reason to add it to older versions).

I have Android 4.0.4 so if they added the feature in Jellybean then they did what I and the other people of this forum wanted. Yay.

[Q] Reprogram "Recent Apps" button

I've done a bunch of searching but haven't found an answer yet. Is there a way to remap the recent apps button to be a menu button? And long press for recent apps? I am stock, s-off, rooted, if that matters. Thanks!
Settings, display gestures buttons, recent apps. You can change it there

It is a recent apps button, not a menu button.
Op, mist roms allow you to change it, but you can't on stock.

Just get a new launcher from Market.
Its easier (and more safe) than mucking around with the stock one.
I know Holo Launcher Pro (HD as widgets, also my all-time favorite launcher for some reason) has the ability to rename drawer tabs, and load either most recent, most frequent, widgets, and custom list in them.
I am sure that there are other launchers that do the same.
If you want to change anything in the stock launcher, you must have root privleges.
Use at your own risk. Havent ever modded a launcher before, only other apps.
Copy the apk to another location (and make a backup if anything goes wrong).
Change the extension to .zip
Explore the zip, and modify anything that looks safe to change.
If you are brave enough, rename the extension to .apk again, and place it back in the "system/app" directory.
Reboot the phone if nessisary.
Use at your own risk.
Please thank me if you found this useful.

Many roms now support this feature and there is also a mod that when you flash it, it will enable this feature.
