Mango allows us to put things in the settings hub. This is pretty easy to achieve, just go to your project, open your WMAppManifest.xml and add this on the <App>-tag:
Code:
HubType="268435456"
Now deploy your xap to emulator or to a real device. You can find it under the Settings-menu.
Tested & works on Mango Emulator and on Samsung Omnia 7 (Mango RTM)
To change the description see this post: link.
this can get interesting. ill check it out.
can we create another app hub called APPs and put all the apps there instead of having it populated in a long list in the programs list?

I have no idea, but I'd say we can't. Someone needs to find out what that HubType number means
Interesting. Though, once it is installed, how is it uninstalled? A tap&hold on the option in settings shows nothing... so is there another way?

You need XAP with the same app id that does not go to the settings hub, just deploy it and uninstall

Possibly it's a bitmask? Not that that really clears anything up, but 268435456 is 10000000000000000000000000000 in binary.

Interesting. Gotcha. Slightly annoying implementation. But then again, I guess most devs aren't supposed to use this hubtype anyway.
Any idea on how to customize the description text that appears below the entry in the settings menu? I tried looking, but I can't find any lines or strings that seem to have any effect.

That's right. It seems only two bits are using - first and last (music hub integration). I've tried 536870911, but nothing changes.

I made a project template for you, just open it in visual studio and it has samples for customizing the text. 2 ways to do it, in WMAppManifest and in code, just look at my sample it is very easy.
Slacker is on the Music Hub and it shows HubType="1" in the manifest. Non-music hub apps just don't have any HubType in the manifest.

Settings list uses HubType too.
Yes, I am aware that this entire topic is about that. I was mentioning it because it was not mentioned before in the discussion about the Music Hub.
Hey, mate thanks for your tutorial.
But I'm still quite confused, cuz I can basicaly just change the tile title within WMAppManifest in order to change the gray discription in your sample app, but when I do it upon my own app, it doesnt shows up....
e.g I change the official youtube app, added HubType=xxx, and edited WMAppManifest, change the tile title into "sample discription", but this text dosent shows up below the big settings entry name.
Could u tell me how to do that by only changing the WMAppManifest.xml file? w/o re-assembling dll files. Thanks

You need to contact the WhatsApp developers directly about this.
Incidentally, this is not the forum for asking questions. There's a Q&A forum for that...

Hey, I want to know that is there a way to get Private Space in Honor 7x...??
It wasn't in nougat and I thought it might come in OREO, It was mentioned in my update's changelog too but it is not in firmware...
Is there a way we get it somehow ??

nope.... Emui has a feature called private space... It lets you make two different accounts in your mobile with different data.... You can assign different fingers to access them..
For Example: if you open phone with finger 1 the main space will open with all your data... if you open phone with finger 2 then private space will open with completely different storage and settings of its own...
This feature is only for specific models of the Honor 7x. I had it on a LA (latin america) build but not on my US (usa/united states of america) build.

Stop taking everything for granted and port it yourself, developers aren't required to port things for you, so at least say please and ask nicely... geez, I don't get what's with the double question marks and all this.

I can't port it because I don't have it either, and I don't understand why you even need this feature, perhaps if you do some digging around you can install an apk.

That sounds like an awesome app if you asked me! You use a different finger for getting different modes? What's not to like about that?(?)
I asked about something like this a long time ago and got nothing. I guess the Android OS is just setup for using one finger.......right?

Bro this has been a huawei/honor feature for a long time now.... It's just they don't provide it on budget devices... You can find it on Mate 10 Lite and all higher budget devices of Huawei/Honor.... Named PRIVATE SPACE
I stumbled upon something like this on my mate se the other day. I have my work profile on this device but it's not a managed device. This is easy, get the app "island", install and setup the island in the app...no need to setup the account or anything. Then go to settings > security & privacy > screen lock and passwords. Disable "Use the same lock method" under "Work profile" to setup your separate fingerprint.

Umm... Okay let me check it....
I use my phone for business.
I have thousand of people in my contacts.
I want to see caller's name and company before I pickup the phone.
iPhone can do this, how about Android?
phone>settings>callerid &spam. Google tries to provide the name of the caller if not in your contacts list. In the past I remember having choices as to what it used to obtain the callers information. I cant find that anymore.

Thank you.
I already tried both of them.
Smart Notify is working if phone is not locked. If it is locked then full screen caller id come, than no callers's company info shown.
Call informer was the App i was using 4 years ago. I already tried it since i swicthed back to android.
Unfortunately it doesn't work with newest android phones. Like my Pixel 3 XL.
But it works great with Asus zenfone 3. Which has android 8.0.0
It would be great if there is an update to call informer.
