Thanks that did, it was driving me crazy, I had tried that method in alphabetical order but it didn't work so I figured it was the same in the other configurations, go figure.

Well I started an app on my tilt and the settings icon under the start menu is gone! I was wondering if anyone could upload the shortcut so I can put it onto my phone.
Thanks,

U r welcome.
I've searched this and other forums and still can't ffigure out how to change an applications name for a Rooted G1. I've been able to change an application's icon by switiching the .png in the drawtable folder, but where the heck is the apps name info stored?
Thanks for your help in advance.

That is probably going to require either editing the appropriate xml files, or rebuilding the ROM from source to be able to get access to other appropriate files. It may be more trouble than its worth. There may be an app for it, but I am not sure. Maybe someone else can chime in if they know of another way?
Couldn't you use bettercut.

That's a possiblility but I couldn't say for sure because I have never used any home replacement apps.
Thanks Supreme.....

Well its been a long minute since I've used any home replacement but you can still use bettercut on with using open home or ahome. The only thing I'm wondering is when you change the name of the app does it only change on the home screen or in the app drawer to. I'm to lazy to do it myself.
You don't need a home replacement to use Bettercut.

Thats what I said
Better Cup isn't a home replacement app, it doesn't require one either.

Yea I know, I just went back and re-read what I wrote and saw I wrote with instead of without. It was still early for me when I was typing.

O, well I know I didn't help either with being confusing. Its one of those days.
bettercut is only for app shortcuts on your home screen, it won't change the name in the app drawer.
BTW does it work without a home replacement app?

Yes

Thanks for everyone's help in trying to solve this one. As previous post's have noted; Bettercut will only change the name on the Home screen or App drawer, not in the application list.
How about this...if it's too much trouble to rename, is it easy to hide an application from appearing at all?
Thanks to everyone!!

No its actually quite easy to keep it from appearing.....uninstall it.
Oh come on you gotta admit, you were asking for that one LOL
I'm assuming you don't want it appearing in your app drawer? Is that the issue? Are you talking about applications that come on the ROM that you don't want anymore. Please provide not only the end result of what you are looking for, but also a little background and maybe that will help with an answer.
Yes, I did set myself up for that one.
It's a 3rd party app that runs at startup. I would like to hide the app from appearing in the Manage Application menu. Thanks again!!
You can use the modified launcher to hide installed apps from the app drawer but I dont think you can hide from the manage applications section.
Thanks for the input Rodney!
can u also rename apps with the modified launcher?
Everyone who has wanted this app and tried to install it, it always failed. But not anymore someone has indeed ported this app to 1.5.

EDIT: nevermind... found it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600959
Oddly enough, after I install this its not showing up in the "Widgets" list? Anyone know why? I've installed it like any other .apk file i've installed before.
Update:Figured it out, the app is called "News And Weather". Sweet application!
Genie Widget - Are sources available somewhere?
Is this kind of backport a "binary hack" or are sources available somewhere?
If yes, were can I find them?
Thanks

Same here, I don't see it either after installation.
I found it under News and Weather in my Android Widgets section. The news and weather icon is fine, but the weather only app displays with font too large to display all the information.

long press ur screen
under ur "widgets" category select news and weather
I'm new here and have sort of a dumb question. How do you get this onto your Eris? I mean since you can't install from sd card without root right?
edit: Nevermind. I had a hunch that if I downloaded it onto my phone, Astro would pick it up.
I uninstalled it. Reason being because whenever I would wake the phone up I would have a major lag in Sense. I found out that the Genie Widget would almost try to play catch up with the way it slides through all of the news it has on the widget. I put up with it for a couple of days but then I just got tired of always having to wait for it to catch up with itself. Cool app though
I haven't had any lag or problems with it. Although I disabled most of the news and mainly use it for the weather. htc's weather widget wouldn't update right for me

If you have the Android SDK you can use adb to install it. It's not too user friendly though, you have to know what the directory is and stuff.
It's faster once you get the hang of it.
Here is a clear version if anyone's interested.
Just wondering if anyone knows of any apps, other than the blocked callers app, that is missing from Gingerbread or is that app in the ROM but possible that it was dropped from LeeDroid ROM?

Thanks!
I'd like the Blockcaller 1 if possible
Ditto!
Just noticed the actual app was missing from the app drawer as I usually do it through the Phone app.
Cheers!

Is this possible with the stock Xperia launcher? I don't like using folders and I have way to many icons cluttering my launcher. Ideas or suggestions? Thanks.
it's impossible to hide apps in stock launcher. Sad but true...

It's not apps per say. It's those wallpaper apps that have silly app icons in the drawer. Like the SGSIII wallpaper, Nexus wallpaper, etc etc. See screen shot below. It's just a personal pet peeve of mine thats all. Something I used to be able to hide with the Xperia launcher add on while using my Samsung Galaxy S 4G. I thought the native Xperia launcher would have also had this feature natively.
but you still can make it a bit cleaner, why you dont reorganize yours apps?. I have on first screen only most used apps, on second - multimedia and navi, third - games, fourth - rare used, fifth - junk from system, like help ect.

Again, why dont you just delete those apps? They dont come on generic firmwares, its just bloatware...delete them
Hiding them does nothing to free up space on your system, it just removes the icon..if you are that bothered about icons you might want to free up space, in which case you need to delete the apps.

so download the wallpaers to your gallery and delete the app...you sound like someone who wants their cake and wants to eat it..
If you want the app, its in your app drawer, if its no use to you delete it...
Not sure if you know but after the jb upgrade the app drawer supports custom ordering...you could hide them all on the last page!
