Hi all, I was deleting a load of surplus system apps (inspired by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44673431) but I deleted what I think was called the system widget, this was the 2x1 widget which, when clicked, expanded and let you switch off/on most things like wifi, screen backlight etc. I thought it was the onoff.apk so I put that back in system/apps but it didn't appear in the widgets selection screen. Does anyone know which apk I do need to restore?
On a similar note, in widgets selection, I have 'Play - My library' and 'Play Recommendations' but both are greyed out - does anyone know how to actually remove them from the widget selection screen?
Many thanks
Adrian

That was my 1st choice but just putting it in /system/app. Do you think I need to actually install it?

suquashilInputMethod.apk
delete suquashilInputMethod.apk from /system/app
Or you could use the app Titanium Backup.

Unlocked and rooted now and I'm seeing all those htc apps in the system app folder. How do we get those to show in the app drawer?
Thanks and of course apologies if this has been asked, I searched.

I'm not rooted but I used an app called Any Cut to make shortcuts for hidden apps on my desktop. Apparently if you use ADW Launcher or Go Launcher they show up and are accessible.
Both ADWLauncher EX and LPP Plus show all the apps, I'm not sure why Sense doesn't .......

Just using es file explorer will let you create a shortcut.

So how would you do this??
I don't have ADW installed right now (I had to have my phone replaced) but when I did it showed a CAMCORDER icon in the app drawer that could be used as a home screen shortcut.
With the totally stock ROM etc, it doesn't show up anywhere but if you hit the search button & type in camcorder it shows the icon & opens & works fine.
How would you create a home screen shortcut for camcorder with the stock Sense ROM??

Really? Hidden apps?
Can someone make a list of what all there is missing?

Can't guarantee this is everything:
Camcorder
Car panel
Dock mode
Mirror
Quick lookup
Got it from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367185&highlight=hiding
Thanks. That thread is nice and was what I was searching for.
Shortcuts are fine but I'm hoping to have them in the sense app drawer.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
someone posted a thread a while back saying something about a Sense config file that has all of the apps and whether they are to be shown or hidden. now that we have perm root i'm sure that we could modify that file now but i can't find the thread that talked about it.
Edit: found it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19800023&postcount=7
Credit goes to "scrosler"
Thanks. I just tried to remove the line referring to the mirror, but it's still hidden from the drawer. I might/might not try some more but in the meantime I'll have to use search option.
Thanks again. This thread is useless other than the links to the other thread

did you reboot after modifying it? you might have to, or you might have to clear the cache, or hell, you might have to do a data wipe before it takes effect
for us unrooted folk, how do we make shortcuts from ES?

That's good advice. I'm not home now but I did reboot. Clearing cache sounds like a good attempt. I'm going to be trying that!
Clearing cache wasn't enough.. I'll be trying data wipe later.
And.... Clearing cache and data wipe was a no go. Already had to do a restore and it's nice to know CWMs workin

I wasn't able to figure that out. How do we do that with es? I just get a shortcut to the apk not the app.

No need so say thanks theres a button for it...
The link which i provided you go in there scrool down a bit you will see an app saying "quicksetting.apk" download it and push into system /app and set permissions. It allows you to manage your toggles. Like there are many extra which you dont need so you can remove them.
Thankyou

You can also use Root explorer copy apk to /system/app/ folder
