Download folder? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but what is the function of the "downloads" folder or app I see in my app drawer? Its always empty no matter what I download. I'm running Royal Ginger 2.1

Whatever you DL in the phone's browser will show up there.

And I use Dolphin which would explain it being empty all the time. Thanks for the quick reply.

What is this app? I want to disable it using terminal emulator because it's always running at like 6mb on my phone but I'm not sure if this is a necessary process.

If I disable it will my phone not be able to access its contents even if I have astro?

Well if it is then I don't think so. Its basically a driver. Its like saying I have the keyboard but I don't have the cable, can I still type?

Alright, well i'd like to delete some more bloatware. I know a bunch of the "com"names are self explanatory but does anybody have a list of what name controls what? I'm looking through pm list and they're not all explicit.

Here's the website for it: http://www.smithmicro.com/products/device-management-suite.aspx
It has something to do with receiving OTA updates.

This is more of what I was talking about http://www.market4android.com/stock-android-2-1-apps-list
The list did help me but I have a MT4G with Stock Rom 2.2.1 so if anybody has a more specific list to that I'd appreciate it

Text messages getting deleted

I'm not rooted yet but I've been having issues with my Mytouch deleting all my text messages every week. I was originally using handcent then went over to using GoSmspro and I'm still getting the same issue; even after fling a master reset and swapping to a newer Mytouch. I can't inside what the problem could be. Insight?

In the stock messaging app... not Gosms pro hit menu button setting uncheck delete after 200 message or so.

That was already unchecked but I checked it and unchecked it again.

There is potential for the messages database to become corrupted and all stored messages disappear, however this is a bug in the android os itself and is not for specific phones

How to add a folder to the app menu

Is it possible to add a folder in the app menu to hide apps that I don't want my son to use while he is playing on my phone. I've tried the Audio Manager app but it locks up when I try to hide an app. My phone is rooted and I can get to the apps menu in file explore but I didn't want to add anything until I asked.

If you still have the stock froyo with mysense running, you can enable profiles in mymodes.
Home, setting, mymodes

Do you wish MIUI had an app drawer!!! Wish no more!!

I came across this app while browsing the market. If you miss the app drawer when using MIUI, then use this

Enjoy!!!

Or you can create a folder and stick all your apps in there..............
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Or you can download ANY launcher from market and install it .....
app drawer on miui = fail, fail, fail
it would be a step backwards in functionality, design....
Don't get me wrong I'm super happy the way MIUI is, but I seen many post asking why no drawer, if MIUI had an app drawer, how can I get an app drawer.....personally I love the folders it's a better way to organize my apps. But like I said this is more for the people that prefer the app drawer

I can look for and try and install the apk outside the market, but I was asking if someone knew of any alternatives that could do the same job or better, for example for messaging I'm currently using Nimbuzz since it can connect to to several messaging services at the same time (even Facebook Messaging)
I installed the app fom an apk from the internets and it seems to be working
