I installed the Sirius app, but it doesn't show up in the app list. The only way to open it is to go to Android Market > My Apps > and open it from there.
I'll answer my own post in case it will help someone else. In the app drawer, I was looking for an application called "Sirius" under "S". Silly Me. The text under the Sirius XM icon reads "online" so it was alphabetized under "O".

I've been searching all around the phone, but i was unable to find the app associated with Google Latitute
i'm not using it, so i'll rather uninstall it to free up some space, but i can't find to figure out which one is the actual file that needs to be uninstalled in Titatium Backup
I am 99% sure that that's just Google Maps. Maps has several icons in the app drawer that are shortcuts to different parts.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
True. The icons are shortcuts for the different sections of google maps. Depending of the launcher, you can hide the icons like when using LauncherPro.
Pretty certain it's just an option of Google Maps too. Go in to maps, click little 'page like' icon in bottom left, which should bring up Latitude, now bottom left hard key and select Privacy - should be the option to 'Sign out of Latitude'.
Yesterday i noticed a change in DESKTOP VISUALIZER not showing the icon packs any longer. I rooted my phone and all looked OK. I installed CMP player with ASTRO file manager and opened up from within ASTRO and all looked ok. I looked for the CMP icon in the app list and it was not there.
I went to run Titanium backup and the icon was missing from the app list. I went to the market, uninstalled it and installed it again and the icon was still missing from the app list.
Does anyone have any idea what happened or how to fix?
thanks
By chance are you running Launcher Pro? If so, check to make sure it is not a "hidden app" there. I was missing the Music icon and found it was hidden there.
launcher pro
Yes I am running launcher pro. There is nothing checked in hidden apps. HOWEVER I did find the CONNECTED MUSIC PLAYER icon in the app list. I found it when i noticed there were 2 identical "MUSIC" icons in the list. The second icon was the newly installed app. BUT, Titanium backup is still not there. The only thing i can think of is i installed Titanium before I rooted the phone though I did not run anything in the program. I'll try uninstalling it again and rebooting the phone and reinstall. The icon packs are still not showing in DESTOP VISUALIZER.
Try toggling the option to show hidden apps... unless the apps you're looking for do show up in the "hide" list, and are unchecked.
oops
End of Flesh......this is embarassing......I installed the PRO version (key) of titanitum without installing the program itself which is why there was no icon...
I can be dumb sometimes ((((
However, the original problem still exists. Desktop Visualizer allows you to chose an application to put on your homescreen, then allows you to choose an icon to use with the app. It gives you 3 choices of where to get your icons: Image File, App Icon, or Icon Pack. Previously when i choose Icon Pack, about 15 of my installed apps came up in the list. When i choose one of those apps, a window would open showing me a picuture of icons that particular app draws on. I simply selected one of the icons and it was associated with the app i had chosen. Now when I select Icon Pack, i get a message saying no icon packs are installed, which is true, but something changed since those apps using their own icon packs no longer appear. I got some pretty neat icons that way, but am hoping nothing got messed up somewhere along the line. I didn't un-install anything or do anything out of the ordinary that i can remember.
Anyway, thanks for your help...greatly appreciated.

I must be missing something, but does the app drawer sort the apps in alphabetical order?
press menu>>sort order>>alphabetical
or check if setting has launcher settings in it
I know of a few apps that do this for example an app called hide it pro. I hides behind an app called audio manager and in order to get to it you have to do a long press on the title and enter a pass word to open the app. the app doesnt show in your app tray or anything and the audio manager actually can control your volume and everything.
well I was about to take a pic with my girls phone and noticed a random app called magnifier. when you open it it just goes to a crappy camera app with no special features. the app doesnt show in the app drawer nor does it show in google play ass downloaded. I even checked in the app manager and still nothing. anybody know anything about this or heard about this? i even googled it and there is no such app with that same icon picture.
Hello fellow awesome phone owners.
I'm trying to use the stock launcher for a bit, it's mostly fine. I'm looking to improve one aspect.
The search function inside your app drawer is pretty nice. Definitely the best Samsung has done. It searches your apps, but also other functions and online choices. The weakness is you have to type in the field at the top of your drawer.
Is there any app or shortcut that could make that search the default action instead of opening the app drawer? If the keyboard just opened automatically it'd be perfect for us who have hundreds of apps.
Open your app drawer, click the menu top right corner, go o finder settings, click add shortcut. Go back to app drawer locate finder icon and place it on your navigation bar (basically replace it with the app drawer button if it as enabled). Only solution that I can think of.

Clever, thank you. It's an improvement.
