I know that there are much tutorials and forum threads about this, but I couldn't find anything helpful for my case.
I'm customizing a ROM (AOSP 4.4.2) and need that some third party apps appear on the home screan each time I reset the device to default - just like phone app or stock browser.
So I'm not developing new apps where I could resolve it with permissions in the manifest and intent in the main activity - this are already compiled third party apps and as I need the possibility to update them through the market I can't do reverse ingeneering and editing them.
I would be thankful for any help.

I have searched the Droid forums (about 8 of them) and a general Google search with lots of different keywords.
And found nothing to help. I am running Gingerbread (DasBamf 2.0-5, preview 2 at the moment) and am trying to use the Sense launcher. But I want to reprogram the third icon to a useful app.
I keep reading about Rosie Settings - is that it? Again, no links only discussions. I know there are apps our there but all I can find is a reference to them - no actual link to a program. I do not want a new sense, I want to remap the third icon.
Does anyone have a link to such a program that they are willing to share?
Thanks for your help!
Please.....
I know somebody holds the key to the kingdom and can unlock this icon.
Hello, I have problem with my app - Vacation Countdown (u can find it in google play), on my phone works perfectly but users write in coments that they couldn't open it. Could you test it? Thanks a lot!
It worked for me... I think the main problem is that people think it is a normal application and can not open it.
My recommendations:
- Add a plain screen that people can press the Open button in the market with the instructions for people to add as a widget.
- The ads shown by the program is huge. When i added the widget another widget was also added. Just "Spam" as my perspective and also some offers showed in the notifications bar.......... That's not user friendly and will scare anyone, its just to intrusive.
Ok this isn't exactly about flashing ROMs or anything but an app. I would like to mod this app for personal use. It is a lockscreen app (the one from L that was taken down from the Play Store) and for some reason it disables the default lockscreen and does not provide a way to have some sort of security measure (pattern, password, PIN, etc..). Is there any way for me to add the ability to create a security pattern? If you need the apk here is the post that has the link. Also if there is another thread in which I can post this in feel free to tell me and I will post this there as well.
Please keep in mind that I'm kind of new to app development but I am familiar with it's general layout.
Thanks in advance.

The issue you are about the hear involves a stock launcher having malware straight from the factory. Please advise.
I need some serious professional help on this one. And I mean if you think you know the answer to this, you are 98% going to be wrong. Ok I have some malware installing shortcuts on my homescreen. The shortcuts used to be able to delete just by long pressing and dragging them off screen. Now they dont delete anymore. If I attempt to delete a spam shortcut, there will be a screen hiccup, and the launcher will restart itself, and still the shortcut is still there.
The location of the malware is imbedded in the stock launcher ( GO FIGURE ) . I now have root , but so far I have only been able to stop the push notifications, but not the installing of shortcuts.
Ive tried
1. Ad network detector
2. Airpush detector
3. Add ons detector
4. Rooting and setting the launcher to read only permissions! THIS SHOULD HAVE WORKED!!! BUT IT DIDNT . We live in a crappy world.
All the above methods have failed. Is there a way to find the offending icon by using root browser and just deleting the damn thing? Where would such icons exist in the folder structure? Thanks for accepting the challenge!
Hi Everyone,
I'm working on a project on android tablet, and I need to limit some android and device feature.
We wrote apps and specific launcher which can intercept a lot of intent to limit access, but with newer version of android (since kitkat)
our solution doesn't work anymore, and the user is able to quit the specific launcher or the launched app.
I need some advice, before developping a limited ROM.
Specs :
1 - Disable device action (LongPress on switchOff)
2 - Disable message notification (Low Bat, SignalLost, ...)
3 - Hide the navigation bar
4 - Preload apps / Remove some apps
The limitation, is justified by the fact that human mistake shouldn't fail the device and the running apps
For the points 1 and 4. I read some tutorial that mention how to reaffect actions for a keycode, and which apps can be deleted in system/apps.
I need your help for point 2 and 3.
Thanks

For #3, one easy way is to disable SystemUI. This will get rid of the status bar and navigation bar, and disable recents. It may also solve #2, though I'm not 100% sure.
Just make sure to DISABLE SystemUI (i.e. from Settings->Applications), don't delete it. Disabling will stop the app itself from starting but allow it to be available for other apps which need it to exist. Deleting may cause your device to fail to boot.
Thank you so much kived, thats a good hint you gave me
I will test this in the few days, and try to disable this automatically after boot.
After that I'll just have to limit access to settings app to avoid user to enable it.
Will I have to deodex the ROM and replace the default settings.apk by mine ? or just adding settings.apk in app and android will launch mine.
Thx
