hi guys,
im wondering if this is possible, ive just got my offical car dock delivered, and overall im impressed, but not so with the car dock app.
my question is - is it possible to change the apps on the screen that comes on in dock mode, i personally dont use phone, music or contacts i would like to remove those shortcuts and put on mort audiobook player and eobd app (car diagnostics app).
ive been trying to remove and add but am getting no where fast.
thanks for your help if its possible at all.
Edit : wrongly posted
but you can add what apps you want , as the app is provide big widgets with easily scroll between them . but i think u can look into the market by writing car home , i think there is some apps are free you can try them
whoops, i completly forgot about the market, i will have to have a look, cheers

Hi guys!
I've been searching around for a simple solution to OC/neat-freak people such as myself...
What has been bothering me for the longest time is the fact that some apps that don't really do anything still add an icon to the app drawer even if it is never needed.
Ex. Document Scanner's Add-On (It is literally just a second icon leading to the same program)
There are also some apps that are needed for other people but I, myself, really do not need to see or access them.
Ex. SuperUser, BusyBox
And there are others that come right out of the box courtesy of Google but I can't uninstall because it will mess things up.
Ex. Google Talk
I eventually found a solution to this using LauncherPro and other launcher alternatives since they all have the feature of hiding whatever application icon you choose...but the thing is:
I don't really like the look of it. I want to stick to the default look of my Samsung Galaxy S (Yes, I like TouchWiz!) It looks a lot nicer, IMHO. And it feels so much smoother also. I also like to organize my app drawer the way I want which is easy to do with TouchWiz.
I know Android ideally uses the homescreens for all the apps you need or use the most and everything else gets hidden in the app drawer..but I like keeping my homescreens tidy with widgets and very few shortcuts only.
So I was wondering...if LauncherPro can implement the feature of app hiding (which really just shows a list of all your apps and let's you check whatever apps you want hidden) then isn't there a mod or a simple app out there or that can be made that simply does this? I don't mind paying a bit.
* After a bit of digging, I came across an old thread on this forum by Irrenhaus about his Advanced Launcher. He apparently customized the launcher that came with Cyanogen (I only skimmed his post, sorry!) where he implemented a lot of great features like folders in the app drawer, app icon hiding and the like. I am very much interested in these features...but again I really don't want to change the look of my Samsung Galaxy S.
* I saw a lot of people posting the TouchWiz Launcher apk for use with other phones... is it possible then to just modify the twlauncher.apk file and implement these other features just like Irrenhaus did? If so, can someone go about doing this for me? I'm willing to pay a reasonable amount. I really do not know how to do this on my own...
* I saw some random dead-end posts in other forums that state that by deleting a line in an app's code or something you can allow the app to install without placing a shortcut. I'm not sure if it works though since there were no replies after that...
Here is the line of code in the manifest file to remove:
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
Is this possible with downloaded apps? Seems illegal to tamper with other people's codes... Or is that just a solution for people who make their own apps... I am only familiar with Java so I don't know how to go about these code modifications in Android.
I'm sorry for the lengthy-looking post! I hope I can get some answers or suggestions soon enough.
Thank you all in advance!
SOLVED!!!
Nvm! Found an app for this!
The app is called "Smart Bar" the dev says it currently doesn't work well for Froyo but I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S running JPM ("official" froyo) right now and the hide app feature works just fine.
Best of all, it's completely free! It also has a ton of interesting/useful features. I have yet to play around with the other features so I can't confirm they all work in JPM.
At first I was afraid that the app would literally just "disable" but not delete the app via the renaming the apk method since when one clicks to hide an app it says "Disabling ____" ...so I thought oh great it hides the app icon and stops it from working too... But I tried it out with the Document Scanner Add-On and it still works fine from the main app.
Hope this information helps people out! Should be very useful for people who want to hide those add-ons and packs that for some reason have their own icons upon installing but just need the main app.
Nice

Have anyone got the solution as i am also looking for a app to hide only icon.I do not want to disable app.I just want to hide some apps.
i also would like to know the answer to this, the method you have added is okay but unfortunately theres no solution to starting the process eg. i have added an option to open superSU, STK etc in settings, that option will not work with it hidden...
Hi all,
Is it possible to make Folders on the home screen to place apps in for organization? I Know HTC Phones allow this, but I've never used a Samsung Android powered device.
Any advice would be great as I would love to organize my games and tools.
Thanks!
https://market.android.com/search?q=app+organizer&so=1&c=apps
those are collection of apps that can do so ... the market is full of this kinda of applications , also , if you use any launcher instead of our stock launcher lets say ADW . got this ability , but you can't put it in folders , but you can place which apps can be showing in the drawer or not to be showing
Thanks much! I will be trying one of these soon! While I'm at it, is there any way of changing the lock screen? I tried Widget Locker but they weren't formatted correctly for a tablet.
there is look screen like the one in Honeycomb , just look in the market for Ripple Lock its nice though , i bought the paid one and its a little bit buggy , but its cool
Trust me, The ONLY app you need to organize your apps into folders is Auto App Organizer.
You can automatically or manually organize all your apps into folders and are also able to create shortcuts to these folders on home screen aswell as change icons of them etc.
Its a [email protected] sweeeeeet app!
SiMi Folders works quite well and is very customisable
Lol, I just realized I'm in the wrong forum. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Thats why when you mentioned the HoneyComb lock screen, I was confused because thats the same screen I already use.
But regardless, all these tips and apps still apply, going to try them.
aww, Simi folder is not supported my the Galaxy Tab 10.1 it says in the market.
LMAO LMAO .. you know if we know that from the beggening , trust me you ain't gonna get SH*T isntead you'll get trolling ...
go go catch your tab10.1 section rofl
It was an honest mistake though, the forum names are really similar. And plus, I found 3rd Party Organization apps that i never knew existed via the market, so I'm very Greatful.
Thanks again all, not at all trying to troll.
no prob , have a visit from time to time you'll see stuff , you can't see it anywhere
Stock music player, coming from LG P500 is at last, something useful, big cover arts... lock screen controls and sleep-timer.
BUT WHAT THE HELL ... missing feature is "add to now playing list" ....
im on V10G European unbdanded / open ... do you guys all have this feature missing, or what?
If that's a general issue then can we mod it in any way to add this feature??
It's so freakin annoying to create all the time a new playlist, just to add some song to be played... rather than having a temporary list of songs...
I think you're not in the right forum. Here is the lg p970 forum
I'm pretty sure im in the right place.
I am a previous owner of a P500 and now i have the 970.
Any answer about that?
checked mine
you're right, that feature isn't available in stock player.
what the hell is wrong with them ?? (LG)
Coming to P970 from P500 when i saw the player i thought "at last, something proper" !!!
once again they did their miracle, missing basic feature ... ffs!
Any ideas on how to mod it and add this option?
Any devs??

CM7 stock player has it, Otherwise get PowerAMP or Winap from android market and there may be some other free players as well
i was prepared for that answer my friend, if i was about to do that, i wouldnt even make a new topic about that issue at all.
The fact that im trying to find a way to put that feature on stock player means that no other player meets my expectations.
To be honest, i actually prefer having that simple application without a tons of settings, album arts, lyrics, sync etc... because it just works!
Besides, there's no need to have a ton of applications because the stock ones dont satisfy... that's why im kindly asking, if there's any way to edit stock apks... just like the stock camera app, has removed shutter sounds.
Is it possible?
Anybody has the knowledge and some spare time to do that?
Anybody has any how-to about editing apk files?
I'd be grateful.
If you are really into stock apps and not want to use third party apps, here is google's stock music app from ics.
Try it out and see if it suits you.

I just install it or push it into system/app as it is without removing anything?
Ok, installed Google music .apk you proposed...
Epic fail...
Hi, I know my question is totally off topic but do you also have the ICS browser apk ?

Just got this in one of their emails. Now I need to look up if anyone found a way to do SMS on a watch & relay it through the phone. I haven't had the need to look in a while..
We´re working on a sollution for that:

I started looking into rooting/changing the launcher on my watch to Nova for this... BUT.. other then showing off, I can't see the real life use for the keyboard on the watch yet.
The main use I can see is for quick SMS, especially when in the car (at a red light) and I need to tap out the 3-5 word page.
Other then that - it would be better to just use the phone.
Will be keeping an eye on the sms thread, but not seeing much yet. Crossing fingers!
I just tried this keyboard on a Gear and I don't really like it.. Maybe I need to spend more time with it, but swiping on default Google Keyboard feels way better IMHO.
Hi guys, I'm just wondering, as I'm totally new to android, if you could walk me through the initial stuff a person should do to get the most of his new device.
What I've already done:
Got Nova Launcher and set it up in basic fashion. Will have to go back to it later.
Got Llama, playing with it. Any ideas for setting it up besides the usual silent mode at night, turn off wifi out, turn on mobilde data out... ?
Got SwiftKey.
Got Min Icons.
Got SD Maid Pro.
Fiddled with settings a little, nothing serious.
What I want to do:
Use Debloater to clear bloatware and useless apps. Can I use it to get rid of Xperia keyboard, lockscreen etc? Should I? How do I know what I can disable and what not?
Get some lockscreen replacement app.
Figure out widgets. Seems like there's a disorganized mess of them in my phone even though I didn't install any.
Get a new dialer and contacts app because the original Xperia ones are pretty ugly.
Besides this, is there anything else I should do to improve performance/usability of my new phone? What do you do to your phones? I want the setup to result in a minimal interface and the best possible battery+speed+stability/reliability.
Also, what apps do you use instead of the stock ones like Gallery, Camera etc. Is it worth using other apps?
Thank you.
