Launch hidden Apps on Android head unit - Android Auto General

Hello guys,
I registered new here because I'm clueless with my new android radio.
I installed nova launcher because the stock design is awful but the standart apps are neither shown in the launcher or in the applications tab in settings.
I want to make shortcuts for those apps on homescreen but at the moment I can only launch Apps like Music, Radio and DVD Player via the physical buttons on the radio. Is there anyway to find the root of those Apps and create a shortcut for them?

Just found out that all those features are a part of the com.ts.mainui8 App if that helps.

OK finally found a Solution for my Problem, the App Activity Launcher allows to ceate certain shortcuts, thanks anyway

Hi, I am getting crazy with same problem, I want to start the radio from agama launcher that only launches app, not activity. To go around this I am using tasker to create an app that launches radio activity.
com.ts.MainUI8/com.ts.can.CanExRadioActivity
Something is launched with no error, but result is just a flash on screen and toolbar happearing for just a sec. Probably I need parameters or intent.
How did you start the radio?

App Vault Review

http://www.cyrket.com/package/uk.co.neilandtheresa.Vault
I tried this out today. Its claim is to "[d]isable apps and remove them from the launcher, without uninstalling them. Stow away apps you rarely use, or hide built-in apps you never use.." Also good for T-Mo US Rom root users to hide that useless Amazon MP3s app.
I tested it out by hiding (the app uses the term 'stowing') a Better Keyboard Skin shortcut, a widget shortcut and normal application.
The App Vault app does have an issue with requesting root permission, it requires it for stowing/unstowing each app (and multiple times for each app) it adjusts instead of having a global permission. Think of it as Vista's UAC for Android, compared to Windows 7's.
Stowing a Better Keyboard skin shortcut does not change any of your Better Keyboard settings. If you had that skin selected, it is still in use. However, you cannot reselect that skin in the app's skin manager anymore. The shortcut was successfully hidden from the launcher.
Stowing a Widget shortcut (I used Battery Status) was less successful than the Better Keyboard Skin. The widget remained on the home screen, but it no longer updated. I could also add the widget to my home screen still, so I did, but it remained at 0%, unable to update to the real percentage. The shortcut was successfully hidden from the launcher, however.
Stowing a normal application (I used the Babbler Facebook app) worked the same as uninstalling the app. Its home screen shortcut turned into the default APK icon and was unable to launch. It's widget remained on the selection screen for widgets, but like the Battery Status widget, it would not update. And like the others, the shortcut was hidden from the launcher.
Overall, it seems the vault is useful when hiding applications you don't use (especially stock apps), but not widgets or commonly used applications. As the Better Keyboard Skin was the only app that was successful in stowing and still being usable, and caused the least upset to me, I think I'll refund the application.
I hope someone can find a better use for it than I can.

hmm i wonder if i put something like set cpu or autostarts or something that you only configure once and then dont touch if the configurations will stay .. going to try it out
Why wouldn't you just use the modified launcher, you have root already, CM has it as default along with some others.
Caution when using this application.
DO NOT HIDE THE USER PERMISSIONS APPLICATION
if you do this, the app WILL become unusable and you will not be able to access root permissions in any way. the app should really be disabled from being hidden from the get go just to be on the safe side

[Q] Is it possible to have the Stock 2.2 "phone" button behavior using ADW Launcher?

[Q] Is it possible to have the Stock 2.2 "phone" button behavior using ADW Launcher?
In 2.2, the phone button on the default launcher remembers the last "tab" you were on in the phone app (instead of always going to the phone tab it would remember if you were last on the Phone / Call log / Contacts / Favorites tab. The standard widget "phone" you can add always sends you to the phone tab.
I would love to use ADW again, but for me the always going to the "phone" tab dialer is a deal breaker. I have searched for an answer here and on Google, but could not find anything related to this issue. Any help would be appreciated.
Dialer One has that option (among tons of other options), if you want to try it.
I will give Dialer One a try and see how I like it.
I was hoping that the answer was easy, since it is obviously a widget that the default android launcher uses. I figured I was just not seeing it in the widget list or it was a shortcut that was obscure.

Fire 7 Not rooted with launch hijacker and nova launcher Widget Help

Hi All,
I have a Fire 7 which i am using solely for a media and smart home remote. I specifically chose this device as it is cheap and had the alexa built into the home button.
I have made some changes to the device but not rooted it as don't want to completely loose some of the amazon features i.e. home button press for alexa.
I have installed play store and hijack launcher and have nova launcher installed. I find that some some widgets work and some don't. I am struggling with IFTTT widget and beautiful widgets at the mo. basically i install them either via the app store or an .apk and when click on the widget and try to place it on the homescreen it throws up the tablet settings menu, if i exit this it does not add the widget? can anyone advise why this is or if it can be solved. If i add a RM pluggin tasker widget it lets me and allows me to setup the button but but for the other two it doesn't?
any help appreciated.
regards jon

I have installed (for example) few of the new Good Lock 2019 apps and i know how to run them and how to create shortcuts in the homescreen but i would like to add the apps to the android apps menu, is it possible by using any app or not?
Thanks in advance!

I've done the same thing today... Installed first all the new good lock apps for pie that I needed and then installed activity manager (André De Sousa developer... said this for a lot of apps with the same name) from the play store to make shortcut launchers on my home. Everything works on pie.
If there's something wired, this is the good lock app itselfe working only in a few countries....because good lock is the real app that launches the others that are meant to be activities and not apps by themselves.
Tasker. New task - plug in - secure settings - Actions - launch activity. Export through app factory. Takes one minute.

Overview/recent apps panel with non-stock launcher

I've updated my P10 5o Android Pie. I am using Nova launcher. After update, I've noticed that new recent apps/overwiew panel is not working correctly - I cannot use two apps on one screen, because I can't choose second app - that space is empty. If I try to turn recent apps once again - there is nothing there, except clear all button. That problem does not appear with stock launcher active. Is there any solution for this, or did Huawei cleverly blocked third-party launchers by making them kind of not functional?
