I'd like to remove some of the shortcuts in All Programs, on my HTC Desire. I never use Footprints or Peep for example. I'd ideally like to uninstall them but will be as happy to just delete the shortcut.
How can I do this? Do I have to Root the HTC Desire, before I can do this? Thanks
Yes, a way to hide apps from the sense launcher would be great
I dont think it is possible, yet.
A temp solution would be to create a folder and dump all the apps you want inside.

That wouldn't remove them from "All Programs" though, unless I'm missing something?
if you have rooted your phone you can use a program called vault
Thanks. It's a shame you have to root the phone. With Windows Mobile you've got access to everything without having to root.
Anyone? Or is rooting the only answer?

I'm now rooted. Where can I find this? Thanks.
Just use an alternate launcher like ADW. Then you can setup the app drawer any way you like. You can even have multiple settings. Not the only advantage btw.
Or use Titanium Backup. Worked fine for me.

Thanks but how will this help me reduce clutter in the App Drawer? I already use the excellent My Backup Pro btw .

Thanks. I've tried Launcher Pro Plus in the past and it's excellent but I still prefer HTC Sense plus Sense is already very good, so I'd prefer not to have the extra load (if I had to make do with rubbish like MotoBlur I would though). Hence the need for that app?

I'm pretty sure My Backup Pro doesn't support App Freezing. I've just installed Titanium (thanks Homerstar296, I see what you mean now) and it's root check annoyingly failed. I'm definitely rooted. Apparently I also need "BusyBox".
Is this safe to install/activate? I don't want to brick my phone obviously.
Just install busy box and it should work. No risk by installing that.

What part of 'All (!) Programs' is so hard to understand? They aren't shortcuts.

Read description for file
I also have a question about Get Games. There are icons on that screen but when I click on any of them, they all say "No Content". Shouldn't clicking on the icon launch the Market to download them, or show a video or do something? And what is funandgames.apk? Thanks!

Yes you can remove those without worry but then your games launcher won't have the get games tab anymore but everything will still work fine

I haven't tried yet (and don't want to try since I actually want it to say I turned off data)
but, did any of you tried this?:
-Long press the notification that mobile data is off
-click app info
-uncheck the bar that says 'show notification'
It shows phone on mine. IDK why
Yeah the option is there alright but it cannot be unchecked, its grey....
Cant believe no one found a way around this....

Yea, this is super annoying, I would also like to be able to get rid of the warning that it might cost extra to use it when you activate it.
Wow, it's very annoying for a long time, but still no way to solve it...
I hate the warning every time I turn on the mobile data...

Have you tried install Xposed Framework? It has a module call SemcPhone Patcher that I use to disable / enable Mobile Data Warning.
Try Xposed Framework topic here
Try Collection of Xposed Modules here
Try SemcPhone Patcher here

YES, I installed SemcPhone Patcher, and it works perfectly!
No warnings when turning on/off Mobile Data.
Thanks anyway, but I still wonder how to get the same result by editing build.prop...
I knew xposed would come to my rescue ! Love those modules thingies.
Works like a charm
Thanks !

Hi all.
I'm new to Android after a few years break. I was wondering what is the best back up method and application please?
In terms on contacts, calendar etc. I use exchange so I don't need to worry about that.
Is there an app that will backup my applications, launcher set up (apus), and general look and feel of my current set up?
Please also confirm if I need root access to use the app. I've no idea how to get root that would have to be my next question..
Thanks all.

Mybackup pro is good for that don't need root but does help if you are
Titanium is good if you have root. Some apps have a backup option (ie nova launcher) so I save my backup files to Dropbox or Drive just in case.
Ok. Could anyone point me to where I find out about rooting please? Pros and cons. And a how to do for numpties would be useful. Thanks all

Am I right in that in order to make the most complete backup you need root but in order to get root your device is flashed and you loose all your data?

Thanks for the info Unfortunately it seems the only two options to store the backup is to either fire it to an external SD card of which the s6 doesn't have or backup to their own servers. When I try this option is says the free space has ran out and I need to purchase more at a minimum monthly sub of 2usd.

Wonder if you could assist? When I carry out a backup it obviously takes quite some time to complete. It seems my phone is switching off the wifi connection when the screen turns off as the backup process never finishes. Is there a setting that I've missed somewhere to allow this app to continue to use the wifi once the phone screen turns off?

Go into your wifi options, select more, select advanced, look for a option to keep wifi on during sleep, tap it and select always.

Just download the new SMART SWITCH from Samsung, it's light it's fast, and very easy. Never a fan of KIES and stuff but Smart Switch it's easy. Samsung is already listening to community they are removing bloatware, Touch Wiz is much better now KIES is obsolete with SmartSwitch coming up.
Try it.
G Cloud Backup aims to be an all-in-one backup solution for your Android device.:good:
I use Helium. No root required, but allows backing up of application data, which to me is most important.
MyBackup Pro can backup to Dropbox or G Drive
You can setup MyBackup with Pro features to backup to either Dropbox, or your G Drive account.
Run the app and go into Menu->Option, click the "Online backup location" option and select either Dropbox or G Drive!
