[Q] How do I can hide an application with gingerbread?

Hi everybody
I like the Froyo ROMs, with this ROM I used the Hidden Application section to hide some applications of the eye of anyone, but I am testing with gingerbread and I do not see this useful area. Does anyone know if it is on gingerbread or was removed on this new ROM? or How do I can hide an application with gingerbread?

Hi back, I presume one the Froyo, the Launcher was LauncherPro. That is why it has the "Hidden Application" section.
This Launcher can be installed easily from the Market ( some other recommendation such as ADWLauncher , Zeam Launcher etc )
Default Launcher in Froyo&Ginger, doesn't support hide application directly, if I'm not mistaken. Hope this helps

Thank you very much I will try with a new launcher thanks again.

Launchers and custom ROMs

This may be a weird question but can you run launchers with custom ROMs? I downloaded Go Launcher EX and I believe I ran into some problems with that app and beautiful widgets app. Would it be a problem between those to apps or my eclipse ROM? Thanks for any help
Sounds like your new to this.
In short, yes. You can use different launchers on roms, presumably any. Just like you can replace your launcher on any stock phone I've ever used with one from market.. ADW,GOlauncher,Nova .. etc.
I'm not familiar with eclipse rom but there "should" be no issues. If you are having issues I would try clearing app data from withing app manager for your problematic apps/launchers.

[Q] How to use S-Planner widget with non stock launcher

Iam on JB 4.1.2 cooked rom
want to keep using S-Planner widget but also with other launcher than stock can support resize widgets
Problem is: as soon I use any other launcher I can not use samsung widgets
I read that I can uninstall samsung apps then install them back as apk to make them as 3rd party apps, is that correct
or is there any other solution to my request?

[Q][GT-i9001] I have installed cyanogen 10.1 and i have a few questions

Hey there. I recently upgraded from stock 2.3.6 to cyanogenmod 10.1 android 4.2.2 on my Galaxy S Plus and it is quite the difference. I really like it so far but because it is such a big change, i have some random questions about it.
1. In 2.3.6 you could re-organize apps in the drawer as you wanted by tapping menu -> edit. How can you do this in 4.2.2 ? (i know this depends on the launcher, i only tired nova launcher and cm default trebuchet launcher). - (the 4.2.2 default launcher does this ?) (what is the best launcher for 4.2.2?)
2. in 2.3.6 by tapping the menu button at homescreen it displays add widget , shortcuts wallpapers etc. How can you do this in 4.2.2 ? (the only way to add widgets is by going into app drawer -> widgets ?)
3. Where is the repeat button in the Apollo Music Player ? (or should i change to something else?)
3. How can i not install / remove default apps that comes with the rom? (like the default browser because i switched to chrome)
4. If i understand correctly cyanogenmod is based on ASOP and is pure android. What about the android 4.2.2 that comes with galaxy s4 or s3 ? Could we have that on our Galaxy S Plus ?
I would like to keep it as clean as possible without installing tons of apps to modify the rom. Thanks
to 1. i don`t know if it is possible...
to 2. this i the "new" way add widgets to teh homescreen...the possibility from 2.3.6 comes maybe back with Android 4.4
to 3. on my CM10.2 i haven`t find any possibility...
to 3. i remove apps with a file-manager with mounting the root system as writeable and go to system/app then remove or move it to sdcard ...that`s all ...
to 4. CM 10.1 is Android 4.2.2 and you`re right it is based on AOSP ... but the difference between the Version of Samsung are more not needful apps and the other UI ...why do you want the version of S3 or S4 ...the based android version is 4.2.2 in both ways i9000, i9001 or s3 or s4 ...
Hope i can help you with some questions ...:good:

I flashed the CyanogenMod 10.1 by ADC-Team - Release 8 and the K^Kernel 3.4.x OC/EXUV 390MB with my wife's i9001,it's very smooth、stable and a good battery,That I installed apex launcher because of my habit
And about you questions,there's no affect for me that you will be able to adapt the ROM after a period of time

1. Apex launcher rocks, try it...
3b. Try app from Play Store called SD Maid to remove apps. It is very powerful tool and can do a lot, I use pro version but I think the free one can do pretty much all as well.
1) This is launcher specific
2) This is also launcher specific, both MiHome and Go Launcher have similar implementations of the way it is done on stock, as well as ADW
3a.) In Apollo, near the bottom, there should be a symbol that has two arrows forming a loop
3b.) As tetakpatak said
4.) S3/S4's 4.2.2 has modifications and additions to it as well as a custom framework of the system. You can have a theme as well as however many ported apps there are, but a direct port of either of these requires a hell of a lot of reverse engineering as well as some compromises
And freakymod- personal preference. Nothing wrong with wanting Touchwiz.

Replce System UI

Hi,
Is it possible to replace the SystemUI only without flashing a custom rom?
I want to have the original Android UI like on Cyanogenmod but Cyanogenmod does not exist (and even never will be).
If it's possible, how?

Not really. Depending on what you're wanting to change, a launcher may do what your wanting. What are you wanting to change?
You could try Good Lock apk and replace Touch wiz Launcher for Nova or Google Now launcher for a stock feel
