Heloo everyone. I am just wondering if there is a way to hide icons. There is something like that on the iphone called poof where the item is not deleted, just hidden. Thanks in advance.
Where do you want to hide the icons? Are you referring to the application drawer where all of the installed apps are listed? If so, LauncherPro (a replacement for Touchwiz) allows you do hide certain apps in preferences->general settings->hidden apps.
yes

Yes I got it thanks. Is there one like that for touchwiz though?
It's really quite a useful feature, since the number of utility apps you need to get the phone in some sort of workable order is astounding. Titanium Backup, One click this, one click that, Rom Manager, task managers, and on and on and on.
Hi, is it possible to save a modified apex launcher theme or the positions and the mapping of the icons?
looking for one as well
or can i save it with an app?
Titanium Backup backups the app and it's data. Just make sure you have your modified icons in the same folder when you restore.

I'd like to think its possible either through TBU or the apex backup that i could save my layout. So far, whenever I change or update my rom, when I restore either the TBU or restore apex from backup, it doesn't place my icons and widgets. It only restores my settings (# of screens, transition effects, etc) but not my icons or widgets. Am I missing something or is that just the way it is?

This is my second Android app. I develop this little app because I prefer 3rd party launcher (e.g. Apex) than existing Sense 4 Rosie. Existing hacked Sense 4 Rosie (full version) currently doesn't support non Sense widget correctly and is less feature-rich than many other launchers.
Even if you install a 3rd party launcher, Rosie still consume your precious memory as a system service. But if you freeze Rosie and thus release it from memory, you'll lose your lockscreen app shortcuts. After painstakingly reviewing the codes in HTC shortcut components, I found that Rosie actually act as a content provider to supply information of its launcher bar shortcuts to lockscreen. So without Rosie, lockscreen has no information to construct its shortcuts. Therefore I wrote this little app to replace the role of Rosie as the content provider. What's more, it allows you to select your own apps with a simple config screen and store the data separately. And it doesn't stay in the memory permanently.
Installation instructions:
Uninstall Rosie (Freezing doesn't work because Android doesn't allow two content providers of same type) ** You're reminded to make a backup first **
Install HTC Lockscreen Shortcut Provider
Run Lockscreen Shortcuts
Select your app for the 4 shortcuts
Hit back to save settings and notify HTC lockscreen

Limitations
You have to reboot the phone to allow lockscreen to load your app shortcuts. I'm still trying to figure out the way to notify HTC lockscreen for any changes. (If you know anything about this please PM me)

1.1 just posted. No reboot is required now!
I've loaded in Apex, and now wish to uninstall Rosie. Can you advise how to do this? Which programs to remove and where do you go to do that?

Just use Titanium Backup to backup and uninstall Rosie. You can also delete the Rosie.apk in the /system/app/ folder in Recovery by brute force.
Many thanks for that. I haven't got titanium. I might go hard and fast. Just go into the app folder and delete. I've got a full backup, so if worst happens I just restore.

I'm having problems loading your program. Being a zip I guess you load it through recovery but I get an error every time I try.
Edit
I just reloaded and then hit view (I've never seen that option before) and it's there! Now to try it.

I don't understand your problem. My app is a standard Android APK file which can be sideloaded with any file manager. You should not flash it through recovery.
Sorry. It must be the way it down loaded. 2nd time round it installed without a problem. It works great.
I've had a bit of a play and the unlock options are there. I'm not sure I gained as much free memory as I hoped but any gain is better than none. And I really am not a fan of Sense so any chance to thin it out is good.

Please report back if it works since ARHD uses Sense 3.6.

Very cool man, thanks for creating this and sharing it!
Edit: I can confirm your app works on Sense 3.6. I uninstalled Rosie and used Apex launcher as a replacement and your app allows me to successfully choose the lockscreen shortcuts. Great work :good:

I got reports from other users that on Sense 3.6, if you use the lockscreen shortcut to unlock your phone, the phone will be unlocked but the app is not launched. Can you confirm if it's really working?

Damn I never even thought of testing that, my bad. You're right, it shows the app but doesn't launch it.

LOL, never mind. At least I know the problem is consistent in Sense 4A. I'll work on that. :good:
Today I did some testing on various Sense versions and would like to let you know my findings:
Hybrid 4A (e.g. UKB X on IncS) - OK
Sense 4.1 (e.g. ViperX on One X) - OK
Sense 4A (e.g. UKB V on IncS) - No shortcuts in lockscreen
Sense 3.6 (e.g. ARHD on IncS) - Lockscreen shortcuts appears and update correctly but shortcut app cannot be launched when unlock
At this moment, my first priority is to support Sense 3.6. After that I'll work on 4A.
Just posted 1.2. Now supports Sense 3.6.
Posted 1.2.1. Fixed FC introduced in 1.2.
Hi,
the icon dock of the HTC One launcher apperently only allows to place installed apps on it instead of using shortcuts created on the home screen.
So you have to stick with what ever icon this app comes with (not using e.g. icon changer).
Now I wonder if there is a way, or if any one chould help me changing the default icon of an app (maxthon browser) to the default internet icon of the HtC one.
I have already tried some methods but the modded apk file won't install...
Thanks in advance!
I found a solution that finally worked...
Do you want to share the magic solution?

You'd need to install a custom launcher such as Apex or Nova. With them it gives you the ability to change any app icons that you'd like to.
As far as I'm aware, it can't be done without other launchers which means you can't keep stock sense which comes with the One.
if you want the Stock launcher, you can use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DMsImpwLmNvLmJpaS5hbmRyb2lkLmFwcC5kc2t2enIiXQ..

I did not use a custom launcher.
If you want to change the icon, you can open the apk with e.g. winrar. The issue I apparently had, was that after altering the apk file, the application is not properly signed anymore. So it does not install. So I found a way to do this.
Anyway, as far as I learned during this process, this can also be used to sign whatever you like and make it install on your device, including soffware not legally obtained. Therefore, I would prefer not to share this solution. Sorry.
If you want change the icons of one app, you can decompile this, change the icon and recompile.
This will work.
I use this method for some apps
Change the Maxthon icon with stock Browser icon is simple

I always forget about that method as it's just easier to use a launcher

Sure!
But, if someone like sense and he will change an icon and he have to change launcher, is better use this method
If you are rooted there's a app called icon themer that will change icons in stock
Hi all,
sorry if this question has been asked before but i dont find any thread or solution in google.
Is it possible to delete apps directly from the drawer (and/or homescreen) by e.g. holding them and sliding them over a "uninstall" icon as its possible in nova launcher etc.?
Recently I'm using Sense 5.5 with ARHD 31.0 but also mike1986's Sense-Toolbox doesnt offer any solution.
Thanks for tipps and help!
That option is in Sense 5.5. When you drag an app to the top of the screen, Create shortcut on left, uninstall on right.

oh man ... of course! sorry and thanks.
Is it also possible to go directly into the App-Info? I red its better to delete data in App-Info before finaly uninstalling an app.

Not with Sense. You have to swipe down notification bar, select "setting" and then "applications"
