[Q] How to get 'All Apps' icon on the Desktop Launcher ? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok I did something kinda retarded. I am using Cyanogenmod 7.0.2 and it allows u to manipulate pretty much everything. I didn't notice this and accidentally removed the 'All Apps' button from the Desktop. How do I get it back ?
[Edit: Solved!]

Nevermind. Figured out a work around. Bleck !

Good thing

How to sort menu apps TW4?

Mates,
KE2 with OC KDD kernel; TW4.
How do I sort the apps in AppDrawer (menu)?
Open appdrawer, hit the menu button, select 'Edit' and you can move the apps.

Sorry for that; I thought it could be possible to do this by alphabet; not moving manually.
Search for 'Touchwiz AppSorter" in the market!
It's now compatible with SGS II.

The instruction book would not have recommended that app though.

Mate; downloaded and testet; says everything OK; but nothing changed. Thanx for the tip though...
The only way I found to do it is to clear the data on the twlauncher which unfortunately also resets everything else.

Worked after flushing data from TWLauncher...
But see that original system apps are NOT sorted; only apps installed from Market... hehe....
sort apps from market will do it.
You need root for TouchWiz AppSorter to work properly. Good app, works fine on SGSII.

Thanks much!

[Q] Titanium Backup PRO (Market Doctor)

I ran it but I mistakenly let it associate a Amazon paid app to the Market. Anyway to undo?
Found the fix.

What is it, please?
Sent from my, "I don't know what I am any more after all this flashing!"
Sorry I had not provided the answer.
Too [email protected] simple. At the update portion of the market using the droid. If you try to update it fails. But, it gives you the option to delete the app, it deletes the market association in the phone but not the app. App is still usable.
As to why I did not provide an answer is very small of me and I should not have done it. I had asked for help(s) before and got lots of looks but no help. Like this one they laid dormant. Figured I would post it was fixed.
Cool! Thanks. I've had the same issue. Appreciate it, and no apology necessary. I've had similar situations. Some people just don't feel the issues require attention. No biggie, thanks again.

Well it came back today so apparently that was not a fix.

Have you tried the "detach from market" option in TB Pro?

Well...no. Did not know that existed and a search in the wiki did not reveal that or I missed it.
But I do have the Pro version and with some in depth looking found it. Seems to work
Thank you!

No problem.
Just long-press the app in question, and the detach option is there. For future reference, in case anyone else runs into this problem.
^ Needs TB *PRO* to do this, though.

Disable Touch Key Backlight on Google Edition

I hope someone can help me out with this (I guess most of my posts arent worth bothering with as they usually go untouched by anyone). I'm trying to figure out a way to disable the touch button backlight on a Google Edition ROM. I have been searching for an answer since the Google Edition hit. All I can ever find is how to disable on GSIII ROMs (non ge). If anyone can please help me out I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

Screen Filter is an app that can disable the backlight of the softkeys. Set it to auto-start at boot and you should be good. I know its not a direct fix but its a low impact app that shouldnt effect battery life or operation.

Seems to work for me. Did it dim the screen at all (thats its main function)? Did you see the check box "enable softkey back light" (uncheck it) at the bottom of the app ui?

Yes, it did dim the screen, but if i uncheck the enable softkey back light, anytime I touch the screen the backlights still come on. Are you on a G.E. rom? I am currently on Infamouse G.E.

No im not. I am on AOSP (Slim Bean) though.
There are options to do this in AOKP and CM roms. Anybody know how those builds pull it off?
Give me a minute to shower and I'll write you an app. All you have to do is install my app, reboot, grant it root access, and profit.

Okay i am having troubles setting it to off on boot. But here is a "toggle" version of it where you can toggle them on or off. Will try and fix the boot issue tomorrow.
SWEEET!!! Works like a charm thanks dude! Like I said, I've been searching for this forever! I know that many others have been searching for this, perhaps you should make a thread in the mods section.

ROM Toolbox Pro

So I went into ROM Toolbox under "tasks" and froze my Google Playstore App just toying around with looking to save a little battery juice...
I mean, I was thinking surely I can freeze this app it should be just as easy to "un-freeze," only I can't seem to figure this part out...
Anybody happy to know how to unlock the tumblers to this particular safe? Any help greatly appreciated in advance...

Rom Toolbox will let you do the same thing. Tap the frozen app and the menu that comes up will have "defrost" as an option

never hide softkeys

Hi,
i've tried to do a few searches but can't find anything about SHOWING the soft keys all the time.
See the thing is, this phone is for the mother-in-law and she's 71 so it needs to be as simple as possible. She wants to play games like temple run but doesn't understand the concept of swipe the top to get the home button to show up so I'd like to have the bottom bar always visible, even in immersive mode.
Any ideas please?
Cheers
I should probably include that it's stock 14.6.A.0.368 (this probably needs updating, but I'm looking for how to do that at the moment and confusing myself lol) and is rooted.
Xposed module 'App Settings' - go to the app you want, full-screen>prevent. I think you have to do it for each one. You probably can force it across the board with build prop, but I think the other way is best.
I can cope with that... Is there an easy guide for my firmware version to install xposed? I don't want to brick it again lol
Cheers

Flash this in recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3580244&d=1450386592 Then install this apk - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3383776&d=1435601440 Then open Xposed app and go to 'download' and search for 'app settings'. Note that the first boot after flashing the zip will be long and finish with 'optimizing apps' dialog, which will take several minutes. Make sure your battery level is good.
Always a good idea to backup first.

Oh yeah, and any time you install a new module in Xposed, it won't be active until you reboot.
Absolutely smashing, thanks. I've flashed the zip and now I'm waiting for it to load up, then I'll install the apk and find the module.
Cheers
Unfortunately that didn't work Things like Temple Run still go full screen and the navigation bar disappears.

Strange... Is the module working in general? Did you check the box in 'modules' screen in Xposed? I tested it on several apps and it was good...
I don't think so... It's ticked and I've rebooted and all that. The Adblocker module I found is working fine. Strange.
Perhaps I'm missing something. Any suggestions please? lol!! It's winding me up big time :/

Did you find the right options OK in the 'app settings' app, (full screen>always)?
Yeah, the options are there but no go.
Apologies for the delay. I've been away for the weekend.

Are you sure? Reading the description that seems to do the opposite to what I want?
I want the navigation bar to be visible even in full screen mode. The girlfriend's mum can't grasp the concept of swipe to show the navigation and she keeps forgetting when we tell her, so by having it always visible we remove that obstacle

There's a 'blacklist' function which you can apply to chosen apps. I can't say if it will work on your specific game or not. The Xoosed module I mentioned works great for me with Camera, but I guess it didn't work for your game. I think with play store you can return a purchase within 15 minutes or something...
Don't know how I missed that. I'll give it a bash, Many thanks!
That didn't work either unfortunately

Well, after some reading, it seems clear that it is coded into the programming, and you'd have to rewrite the ROM to entirely disable it. From app to app, you probably could decompile and mod the apk so it doesn't call on the function. I did read that Gravity Box from Xposed has an immersive mode toggle, but I can't test it, since GB doesn't work on CM ROM. Check that out.
Thanks for your help so far. I tried GB but it didn't work either. Bloody annoying.
Perhaps another approach would be double tap the power switch to return home? Do you know if something like this exists please?
Thanks again for all the input and suggestions so far.

Hey I just discovered UDN (ultimate dynamic navbar). Install it, go to ssettings>general>special modes. Check 'toggle mode' and uncheck 'hide on outside touch'. The navbar will never go away. The only problem is that it sits Right there over anything else, blocking whatever you might want to touch down there, so maybe not a total fix. How eve, there's also more configurations you can mess with that might at least be an improvement.

I think I tried that as well, but like you say, it gets in the way. It got in the way and I didn't look any more into it. I'll give it a go and look more at it when I get home from work. Cheers.
