Elves came in the middle of the night, terribly evil elves, and they rooted my phone. So now I'd like to sweep out some of the stock apps that I don't use, want, or need. Does anyone have a list of the applications "by screen name" versus "by app name" so I can be sure of what I'm deleting when using the terminal emulator's list of apps?

I like the concept of the program monitor because I can see if left anything running. I'm obsessed with closing apps when I'm not using them.
What I dont like about it is that it needlessly takes up 2x1 units of space. Is there a good 1x1 widget that does the same thing? I dont want to have to enter a task killer just to see the list of running apps, I just want a number in a widget that shows how many... If it's not 0 I can click it.
hi
Systempanel bij nextapp must have!
That app's not bad. But the widget part is butt ugly and just allows you to kill everything. It's close to what I want but I like the the program monitor's number of foreground apps displayed.
Visual Task Switcher is not perfect but sorta gives me what I want but extending the home menu functionality and showing active windows as popups.

Hi!
Friends, I'm new to the forum and am looking for some ROM that has the option to hide icons, music, files, etc.
Smartphone see more and more as a personal computer, but always have a friend from work, personal friend, a family that wants to move out of curiosity on the smartphone. So look for ROMs that have the option to hide apps, photos, videos, music, files, or all that this smartphone. Example: You want to hide the game Angrybirds for a child to not see him and be done with the device's battery. The ROM would choose to hide the icon so it does not appear in the list of applications and only be accessed through an explorer.
Has anyone thought about it?
Does anyone know of a ROM that has this option?
Thanks,
Roka
Try look for an app on the market. I am sure there is something out there. I don't think (like 99% sure) that a rom doesn't include this. Have a look for an app.
Normally in cyanogenMOD there is an option to hide apps in the app drawer that you don't use often. They are not deleted but are hidden when you simply press app drawer, although they are only one click away from be seen.
CyanogenMod uses ADWLauncher not the default launcher by Google.
download adw launcher from the market. or flash cyanogen mod which comes with adw installed. open your app drawer and click menu. it will say create new catalog. create 1 then choose which apps u want in your hidden catalog
I've seen conflicting reports on IF it in fact closes the application by swiping it away in the app switcher.
Can someone clear it up with some kind of evidence?
According to TaskKiller, it does. Open TaskKiller and then swipe away apps from the ICS running apps list. They also disappear from the TaskKiller pane.
What I'm saying is that it *does* close apps, but not all running apps are always located in that list. If an app opens in the background, it won't display in that list.
Is there any way to associate numbers to launch specific apps? Just like Cerberus does, but for any app I want?

I'm not sure I get your question exactly, but i feel the AppDialer app might help you.
Play store link: AppDialer
are you saying that you want a "dialer" on your home screen but instead of actually dialing, you want the number "1" to open an app, and the number "2" to open another app and so on?
if so, this is something fairly easily done using Nova launcher. place your apps on a 3xwhatever Grid, then just replace the icon with the numbers you want (obviously creating the transparent PNG image outside of the phone, then transfering it over to the Nexus. again, this is pretty simple to do if you are handy with PNG's and Nova. would literally take me about 30 minutes to do it from start to finish.
The typo on my post title probably made my question harder to understand.
1 - I don't want to replace my dialer nor launcher.
2 - I want it to work just like when you launch Cerberus (You dial a secret number, it intercepts the number and if it is the one configured to respond, opens the app.)
The code for doing this on a single app seems to be this: stackoverflow/questions/9390579
What I want is a gui to create a "custom number alias" for any app I want.
Ex: I associate gmail with 46845 (t9 for G M A I L). When I dial this number, the "launcher" intercepts the number and launch the associated app.
hmmm....sorry but i have not seen or heard of anything like this....but it isn't something i necessarily want so that could be why
In the Play Store when I go to My Apps and choose an app this is already installed, the phone version of the Play Store goes to a new page listing the full description of the app.
On my Tab Pro 8.4 the apps are listed down the left side and selecting one just shows its heading (name and icon) on the right with lots of white space (80% of the screen) underneath. Does anyone know why the space isn't auto filled with the app description? Seems odd when there is all that space available? This also happens when updates are available. I want to see what the update contains not just the name of the app. I know I can then click on this heading to get the detail but it seems an unnecessary extra step on the tablet surely, are is there a setting I'm missing?
I have the same behaviour on my Tab Pro 8.4
I actually like it. It allows me to update individual apps by simply tapping the "update" button on the Right Pane. On my phone, to update individual apps I would need to open up the description for each one and tap Update.
