Hi there, well I thought about something that I would like to have on my phone
Maybe you have many apps installed...and you have many icons on the "list of apps" from your launcher. Its my case, and some of that app´s laucher icon I dont use it because maybe I dont use this app too much
So would be great an app which you can "transform" the icon from the app list to a widget. I mean, to hide the app to the menu, and If you want to launch the app, go to widgets and here is it. Do u understand me? what do you think?
Well javi, I'll give you a simple solution which u may not know yet that most of the launchers like ads support catalogs in which u can manage the apps u want inn your app drawer and when u need them u just need to switch catalog.... go and try ADW launcher if urs doesn't support it.

Just a heads up if no one knew... Instead of going through the system setting to delete a program, just highlight the icon of THAT game/APP/program and drag to the garbage at the bottom and hold there. You will get a "drop to uninstall" option and vua-la... hope that helps...
The thing is that that only works with apps that we downloaded ourselves. Most of wanna get rid of the apps that came preinstalled. (Which can only be done with root)

Forgot to mention that... Thanks. Only works with apps we download,

Wow, what great timing. I don't mean to hijack your thread haha.
If you don't want to uninstall apps but you don't want to see them in the drawer, then the the newest version of LauncherPro can help (if you already use it)! I literally just updated like 10 minutes ago and it has a feature to hide shortcuts from the app drawer! Best feature evaaaaaar.

Oh thank god!!! i've been waiting for this. I used to ues Advanced Advanced launcher on my G1 until it became obsolete. and since nothing has had that feature..... Im stoked!!!
Woah... +1 for this... nice move by developer, thnx...
Thought id check out what homescreen apps people are using and compare features etc....
Currently Im using launcherpro and have been for a while....love it but know theres plenty more out there:
ADW launcher
Home++
Slidescreen
Pandahome
...to name but a few....anyone got any thoughts or comments ?
Also given all the hoo har in the news re ropey apps being able to dial premium numbers etc does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Reason that came about is because a number of apps ive seen have the ability call telephone numbers...now for a homescreen app that controls most phone functions id expect that to be normal? but would i be right in thinking that?
let us know....

I use Launcher Pro Plus.
And as a simple solution to premium numbers, you can just get your network provider to disable access I did that before my phone even arrived
Homescreen will likely need it so it can initiate calls etc. But be wary of apps that can make calls. I think google need to implement a UAC-style permissions system (like superuser permissions for root), that controls apps' access to the permissions they "need" in a similar manner. Then you could see when the app ACTUALLY needed the permissions, and deny or allow on a one-off or always basis.
I wonder if that's possible, if we could catch the intents etc. ???
I'm using launcherpro mainly as it seems to be the most responsive. I'm not interested in pretty widgets etc. Just speed

i posted this in ppc geeks thread as well (i'm stating this because i got fussed at for 'double posting' lol!) but couldnt find a solution to my problem, anywho...my son was trying to help me work the self camera, in the process, a pop-up came up asking if we wanted to use either of 2 programs that were listed in the pop-up (for the life of me i cant remember the name of the 1st one, i think it was something "messaging'' and the 2nd one was something with the letters "tw" in it. he clicked on the 1st offering and then clicked on the bottom that stated something to the effect of 'use this program from now on...' the problem is that by his clicking on whatever he clicked on, i now have all my apps on one page and i have to 'drag' that one page up to access them, they are located on a grey tab thingy....I DONT WANT THAT! i want my apps to be spread over the like 3-4 pages like i had it in the beginning but dont know how to undo the damage my son did...i also had a page of bookmarks and they are now gone ;-( can anybody tell me what we did wrong and how to fix it? i really want my apps back and all my bookmarks and homepages!!!
I think u accidentally changed the default launcher, to fix this u can go to settings-applications-manage applications-scroll to touchwiz launcher and then click on it and then click clear defaults. Click the home button and that popup will show again, this time choose tw as ur deafault. Another way is to download the free app home switcher .

Hmm thats weird, r u rooted? If u are can u send me a screenshot using shootme? Ur homescreen sounds like stock android so I figured that was the prob, but maybe im wrong. If u can, do a factory reset, but if u dont want to do that then try using a home replacement such as launcher pro which can be downloaded from the market and see if u like how that looks.

Also if you download another launcher like launcher pro... and then run that app, the next time you press the home button you'll et the prompt asking which homescreen, and you'll be able to go bck to the twlauncher again... but this time, make that ur default, or don't check the default mark and have none.

sorry for my bad english
your best bet is to tie together widget locker with minimalistic text and tasker to create such a lock screen.

ps.
why are you always harping on cydia?

This is NOT an lockscreen issue I believe.
In handsent sms, it also shows application popup, even when your phone is locked. You can reply in the box, then it pops you back to the lockscreen. It is an application issue.
But like what #2 said, you can achieve that effect by WL and couple of apps.

no i dont even know what whatsapp is. you are trying to do something very specific so dont expect there to just be a tut for you to follow. try some stuff, learn the basics of tasker and then apply them to what you want to do.

Whatsapp is a crossplatform messaging system similar to kik, pingchat, etc... it's something that would be hard to make a tasker thing for.

Yes,i did search...
so,from the app drawer, you can long press,drag to the app info,uninstall...which is nice...but i want to go a bit further, and have that option on my
Homescreen as well.
Ill install alot of the same type widgets, to compare and see which is best... i find the one,uninstall the rest.
But its hard..time consuming..lazy? Nope.
You see, example of this is wifi, 20 widgets,most all are named wifi, alot are similar in name....
So, why cant i just longpress,drag the apps SHORTCUT to the uninstall or app info?\
Is there an app that does this?
Thanks.
