[Sony Xperia L] :
Hello everyone,

I want to hide apps on Stock Xperia Launcher

1) I have tried various apps from playstore but they don't work

2) No, I don't want to install any custom launcher and hide the app

3) No, i want to HIDE the app NOT LOCK it.

If you have the solution i will be highly grateful to you.

Thanks for helping.
[Sony Xperia L] mahithlal:
there r are no such launcher is available if u have root then try the apps from playstore it must work..
[Sony Xperia L] XDA-RK:
Stock Xperia Launcher can not make this work. You have to install third party launcher or any other app to hide your apps. There are planty of apps and launchers available in play store which are able to do that. Just google it and don't claim none of them works.
[Sony Xperia L] gsocarvalho:
You have to root your XL, install Xposed and then install Xperia Xposed module. You'll find a Xperia Home menu inside, where you can hide apps.
[Sony Xperia L] :
As mentioned i did try around 8-9 hiding apps none of them worked and as also mentioned don't want to install custom launcher

I claim that none of them works. I am not talking about custom launchers but about apps " hiding apps on stock launcher"

I think i made it clear in the thread my requirements ONLY STOCK LAUNCHER! don't have the solution don't brag

Thanks for the suggestion will try :)
[Sony Xperia L] iAyush:
I too hide apps using "Serajr's Xperia Xposed". There's another Xperia Xposed - probably GEM Xperia Xposed which does not work for me, so all the unnecessary icons I hide using Serajr's Xperia Xposed, and then reboot via Xposed Installer.

Here's the link for Xperia Xposed & Follow the instructions carefully:

[Sony Xperia L] eddiebigmouth:
you can install xposed installer and use serajr xperia xposed module with it. it has an option to hide apps from our stock launcher.
[Sony Xperia L] mahithlal:
if u have root then try this app for hide >> " audio manager ( hide it pro)" download it from playstore

and remember u can't hide apps untill u grant root access
[Sony Xperia L] DsvCdsSoftware:
[MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] Xperia Xposed, works flawlessly. You just need to reboot the phone after selected the apps to hide.
[Sony Xperia L] DexterousKrupesh:
you can use nova launcher for it! otherwise if you want to hide that app by its own then you have to edit manifest.xml

hit THANKS if you appreciate my work!
[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
Please be specific about the apps you want to hide

If you're talking about system apps like google plus or chrome then go to app manager and disable it.

It will uninstall the updates and hide the app from your launcher

thats what happens with custom roms, the rom developers dont have the right stuff for the camera so they cant make it perfect, go on the market and download a 3rd party camera app.

I am considering swopping my UK T-Mobile SIM for O2.

I have SIM unlocked my MDA Compact, but is there any issues with using an O2 SIM in a T-Mobile ROM Compact? For example GPRS settings, voicemail numbers etc, can these be changed in settings?

Thanks,

Mike.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] rhedgehog:
this is no problem, I do it regularly, depending on wether i get t-mobile signal or not. As long as you have the settings in there for O2 you should be fine.

Voicemail number should be automatically taken from the sim, I've never had to program that in at all! If you need the settings, the're bound to be here somewhere.

If not, try http://www.modaco.com/Smartphone_Settings_Repository-f138.html for the settings. :D

I don't understand the point of bragging about the long life of a phone's battery if the phone is hardly used. I can't even get 5 hours of just internet usage out of my phone. This is the norm for the original battery and my brand-new OEM backup battery. I'm still running a completely stock rooted Jellybean ROM.

GPS - OFF

BLUETOOTH - OFF

SYNC - OFF

WI-FI - OFF

I did turn the GPS on for about 2 minutes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ubigred:
1. Check the Facebook and weather sync settings.

2. Check the brightness. Move it to 50%

3. Change Display timeout to 30secs

Best option: Root and flash Vision X rom. I get around 5hrs of screen on time.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidzer1:
I've had 2 Note 3's and they have the best battery life of any phone I've had (was very surprised considering the screen size and all the features). I assume newer more expensive lower power chips have a lot to do with it. I get ads from major chip makers and see they are always getting lower power chips - microamp and nanoamp based chips - amazing! I do leave off the cell radio (not currently on a cellular plan) and only turn on Wifi when I need it. I believe I've seen it on for 10 to 12 hours not being used (but turned on) and have seen it drop only 1% in that amount of time. It will start at 100% and end up at 99% after being on all day. And that is without even having the power saving mode turned on.

[General Questions and Answers] jrocket:
I recently installed the NoRoot Firewall app so I see which apps are accessing the internet and block those which shouldn't need access. The good part is that I haven't seen any apps access the internet that shouldn't - no flashlights, notepads, etc.

The problem is that I'm seeing some apps that will need internet access trying to connect dozens of times. I haven't used soundhound in months and it's trying to connect dozens of times in a half hour period. There are other apps that I rarely use that are trying to connect once in a while, like flickr, cloud drive (which isn't even set up), that I wish I could disable unless I need it, but I can live with those.

My questions are:

Why are some apps connecting so often when they're not in use?

Is there a way to disable apps from making connections until I'm actively trying to use them?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Skulldiver:
They're connecting because they want to sync or maybe load some infos in the background. You can force them into hibernate mode with Greenify, but should all only work perfectly with root. Else you can't directly access the internet access.

Try Greenify and you will see if it works event without root. Not the best solution but a good beginning :)
[General Questions and Answers] jrocket:
I know they're trying to connect, but my thinking is that they shouldn't when there's no account set up and all notifications are disabled. With apps like evernote where they're set to sync every few hours that makes sense, but if it's not serving ads, and there's no account to sync, I don't see why it needs to connect. I'm sure the app dev thinks it needs to, but I wish there was a way I could better control it.

I'll try greenify, thanks for the suggestion.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] buyslake:
Please advise.

My S4 is acting very strange. The signal completely goes off every couple minutes and then comes back on. When it comes back on it has full bars and LTE. But then it goes off again.

The phone is driving me crazy.

I have tried a couple different roms.

Currently on Darthstalker rom 12.11.2013 release

My question is............ Is the modem updated when darthstalker is installed?

Any thing I can try to fix this problem?

Every time it goes off I go into settings and toggle the mobile data check box and it seems to come back on and messing with it a few try's.

Is this a hardware problem or can I get it resolved with a new modem or something?

Please advise. This phone is testing my patience. I put a new display in it and a new usb board. I have almost a $1,000 in this phone now and it is dropping the signal constantly.

Modem does not change with ROM flash. It's something you need to flash with Odin separately.

☞ Sent from here☜
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] buyslake:
Could the modem be causing problem? Does anyone have a link to a modem I should use with the darthstalker rom?

Does the kernel affect it? Do I need to change that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Yes, it is the modem, not the kernel causing the problem. Search for "MK2 modem" in the general section. There's a how-to guide that explains exactly what to do and how to do it along with download links for everything you will need.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] buyslake:
There are 2 modems here.

Do I flash them both? Do they over right each other?

I did before but I think I flashed them as pda instead of phone. How do I clean that out? I just redo as phone?

Can I use one of these LTE modes on the T-Mobile version?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2192025
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Follow this guide exactly. There are two files, yes. Once you flash the files, you will want to go to settings->about and check your baseband. If it says MK2 you're done; if it still says anything else then you need to do it again. It may work first time or it may take 5; point is keep trying until it sticks.

I don't know what flashing as PDA instead of Phone would do, so if there's nothing wrong don't worry about it. Just follow the guide exactly. If the guide says to flash both files, then yes you flash both files.

As for your other question; unless you have the International S4 (i9505) then stay away from those modems. Especially speaking of Odin, you should never flash anything not specifically meant for your variant unless you are willing to possibly have an expensive paperweight.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aknubbe:
Hi,

So I used the following thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277105 to set up my Kindle Fire 8.9 but I keep getting stuck at the blue/white Kindle Fire logo. I have tried this about 10-15 times and I get stuck every time. The exact steps I do:

0. Use KFFirstAide to restore device back to 8.1.4 (after getting stuck at blue logo)

1. Use KFFirstAide to root, confirm root with rootchecker.

2. Install FireFlash.

3. Place rom/gapps on sdcard.

4. Use 8.4.6 freedom boot image and and twrp 2.6.3.1 image in FireFlash, checking the right boxes (apply stack & bin if red warning is there).

4a. In a few attempts, have also tried using the 8.4.3 freedom boot image with twrp 2.6.3.1.

Then when I try to reboot normally after using FireFlash (without installing a rom yet, I just wanted to test going back to Kindle OS) it gets stuck at the blue logo. Other times, I have tried to install a rom right away (going straight to twrp after FireFlash) but after rom installation and reboot, it gets stuck at the blue logo. I have tried using cm-10.2 with gapps-jb-20130729 and also cm-11 with gapps-kk-20131209. Both of those lead me to the stuck blue logo. Since I can't even load into Kindle OS after FireFlash, I'm guessing this is a bootloader issue?

The weird thing is that, if I flash cm-10.1 with gapps-jb-20130812, it works! But I do not want this version because I want the Kindle reading app fix available in cm-11. More important, this is a new Kindle Fire 8.9 and not being able to flash the other two roms means that something is inherently wrong. I tried to flash either cm-10.2 or cm-11 after successfully flashing cm-10.1 but I get stuck at the blue logo.

I have tried many different iterations and attempts, but cannot get it to work. The previous blue logo threads are because the person wiped their data and don't have a rom on the sdcard, that is NOT my problem here. The CLOSEST thread I found was this one where he seems to have the exact same problem, but he didn't mention how he fixed it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2579418

My adb seems to be working correctly, I can get the device into fastboot mode by using "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" in cmd.

Thanks for any help!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
OK first question, when trying to flash cm 10.2 or cm 11 have you factory reset'd the device? I do wonder if this another selinux issue since selinux was introduced in cm 10.2. If the factory reset didn't do it I would say backup your sdcard and wipe internal storage. Easy way to backup the device's sdcard area is to run "adb pull /sdcard/ /backup" it would back it up to your c drive in a folded called backup in that example. If that still doesn't work I have a command you can try that will probably do the trick so try those things and if it still doesn't work I will hand you a command off to test.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aknubbe:
Sorry, I forgot to include those details.

Before I flash a rom and gapps, I wipe system, factory reset, cache, and Dalvik cache. Then I flash both rom and gapps, then I wipe cache/Dalvik again, then I reboot.

Do you mean you want me to wipe internal storage as well, and then sideload the rom and install it like that?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aknubbe:
So I tried two things:

First I wiped everything - system, factory reset, cache, Dalvik, and internal storage. Then I sideloaded cm-10.2 and gapps and flashed. This resulted in getting stuck at the blue logo again.

So I went back into twrp, and wiped internal storage only, then rebooted. But same thing happens, I get stuck at the blue logo :(
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
ok while in twrp make sure to unmount the userdata partition first, just basically uncheck it in the mounts area, if you don't things could end badly because we are basically reformattign a partition and its bad to do that while its mounted. Now go into "adb shell" in a command prompt and run

mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/userdata

see if that fixes the problem, so far that tends to work to fix selinux issues, kinda wish there was a button in twrp that would perform that command or just make the internal storage wipe do that, thats like a actual format of the /data folder/partition instead of just wiping the contents.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aknubbe:
Sorry, can you clarify what you mean when you say go into adb shell?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
well you need a copy of adb, look through topics i have made and there should be one about a tutorial for pushing a rom onto the device, grab teh adb zip file i posted with it and extract it somewhere like to a folder on your desktop, and to make things simple hold shift and right click the folder that the adb executable is in and hit "open command prompt here" and in the command prompt that comes up run "adb shell" then run that command i mentioned.

I'm back in town and I'll try to follow your recommendation. The first thing I see is that the link to Hashcode said is to 7 "HD. Does it work for 8.9 HD also?

The other question is that Hashcode says: you need to have previously installed the 2nd bootloader and send to him original link to 2nd bootloader install and TWRP 2.6.3.1. Also he says this is a flashable. zip file for installing in your current version of TWRP. Then I think I'm in circles because I must have the old TWRP to install the new, but my problem is with the installation of the old because I stuck on blue / white logo when I try it.

Perhaps I can follow the instruction to install the 2nd bootloader as he suggest in his original post an then install the new 2.7.0.0.zip instead the old 2.6.3.1. zip. Is correct?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
You can just pull the IMG file out of the zip and boot into fastboot and flash it without flashing everything else that was done in the entire 2nd bootloader installation process.

7" images are not compatible with 8" and vice versa. Not sure if I'm helping much as I kinda just got up and went perusing the forum while half asleep.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elgari:
Well, I update to 2.7.0.0 and after a long, long minutes stuck in blue/white logo . . . its work fine! Thank you very much (again)!

Now I dont know if the was that the kindle stuck or if it was me that no allow sufficient time. Any way it works now.

I´m hesitate if to flash CM 10.2 or CM 11.0. I have 10.2 in my 7"HD and I´m very happy with that, but I have curiosity about 11.0. What do you think?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
11 is nice, has less ram consumption, though I personally haven't gone past cm 10.1 because of the lack of stock cm with tablet ui on cm 11, I'd have to grab a different ROM to do it.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elgari:
Ok, thank you for your reply. I think I will try the Unofficial CyanogenMod 11.0 ROM of Hashcode. If I dont like it will down to Hashcode CM 10.2 that I know well.
