Hello.
Is there an app or program that allows you to see what is being "called"? For example, I try modifying ROMs to remove most sense apps. When removing some widgets that i think are excessive, it seems to disable a settings menu or something.
Is there a way to see what APK's are being called by what setting or app? ALOGCAT seems that it would work here, but it brings up a TON of extra stuff.
Any help?

Just use Titanium Back up and freeze the app before removing and then see what is affected and then make your descision if you wanna reinstall or not.
which ones are you wondering about?

Hi, is there any way of hiding apps in the apps drawer? There are a number of apps like license keys that are in the drawers which I obviously don't want to get rid of but also don't particularly want to see every time I open it.
My phone is rooted, but I don't want to use a different launcher, I like Sense.
edit. sorry posted in the wrong section - should've been in the general section. Can a mod move it?
Just to reply to my own question. If you have a rooted DHD and have Titanium Backup then "Freeze" removes an app from the drawer. I have hidden my license key for Touchdown for example (touchdown still works) and swept all that social networking vaporware out of the way as well. I haven't deleted, just hidden them to make updates easier.

Does anyone know what "Latitude" is called in HTC/Android speak?

I think Google Latitude is a feature on Maps that lets you share your current location with friends if you choose to.

Right, but it also appears as an "app" button in the app drawer. Does this mean I can't get rid of it? All that social networking stuff really bugs me.
Launcher Pro allows you to hide apps in the drawer (without root).
I hate the stock messaging app. I don't really like Handcent, except that it has the "Iphone" look and makes text conversations go side to side. Is it difficult to drop another messaging app in as the stock messaging app? I would love to see more ROMs(mostly Ava because that is what I generally run) use another messaging app. Thanks for your time.

No its not hard. Thats why the rom devs don't do it. It lets everyone go choose what app they would like. Also some of the sms apps require the original messaging to still be installed... which makes it harder.
I would try go sms. LOTS of themes, and options.

I did not know that some messaging apps require the stock messaging app. I would think that when you have to programs doing the same thing, the phone is not being as efficient as possible. How can someone replace the stock messaging app with a new one? I don't want to use an app in conjunction with another app and disable the original, I want to get rid of the original.
Two ways....
Either break open the rom and delete out the apps you don't want before flashing. Or, install app you want then go in and delete (not disable) the original app using appropriate file manager program.
Hey everyone. Im running the newest bulletproof miui and i downloaded alt drawer since miui doesnt have an app drawer. I hid almost all my apps so their only accessible through alt drawer but i cant seem to hide things like calculator, spare parts voice dialer, etc. I have to keep them in a folder to try to clean up the homescreen. Is their any way to hide these as access control doesnt seem to give me the option? i dont want to install a 3rd party launcher as i try to keep things minimal and fast. Help?

I really don't think that an app drawer application is necessary, since you can just create a miui folder, name it "app drawer" and pull it to the main-bar at the bottom. You even can sort it by name or usage - It will behave just like sense's (2.0) app drawer.
Well, system apps can't be removed in miui - unless you change the launcher, I think.
Stock 4.02 ROM rooted/unlocked.
So I was changing some stuff around on my home screen and dragged the "contacts" app that was in the bottom bar into the trash can. I was planning to just use the contacts I can see under the phone icon, but now I realize that only lets me dial contacts and not see all the contact info I have for them. Also, a few recent contacts I added aren't showing up online from my desktop. My phone says it's still succesfully syncing my contacts. I don't see "contacts" in my app drawer (but I don't know if it ever shows up there.) Did I uninstall the contacts app, or am I just missing a setting somewhere to make it display?
Well the app is called "People"... I'm assuming that's what you mean.
If you're on the stock launcher, there's no trash can for pre-installed apps. You can only see "App Info" to disable it. You can't uninstall with 1 drop.
If you're rooted and using a custom Launcher, it may have a "trash can" to long-hold onto to uninstall, and if you're rooted it may offer a full uninstall of system apps.
Gonna need more info here...

No problemo.
Can I remove some of the apps from that appear in the Sharing menu? I don't use Evernote and am kinda bummed that I can't uninstall or disable it, but at the very least I'd like to get it out of the sharing list. I've poked around but can't figure out how to do that.
