Simply converting it to system app doesn't make the app run in background.

But I think pushing to system/app will hide the app from task manager

No Bro
It is not possible to make an app run in background but only default system apps like Maps,Talk,Software upgrade etc etc.,
will be running in the background... some default apps like music,browser etc are shown in the taskmanager...
basically if you press the home button when running an app it show in the taskmanager
if not its not possible....
what i knew is the holo launcher is always shown in the taskmanager...
Press Thanks!! BRO please

dxtop pro, long press icon for options. you may need to grab an icon pack. gl
what about getting the entire name of the apps to show up instead of fading off. There's plenty of room if a second line is used.

You can change app icons on with Any cut or Better cut.

If you have Launcher Pro (Plus):
-Long press on the homescreen
-go to shortcuts
-applications
-tap the app you want
-a screen should come up with the stock icon and title for the app
-tap on the icon and change it to whatever you want (it will go to your gallery, so you'll need to have already downloaded the icon you want)
I know there is a home screen replacement that puts all your apps on the homescreen but is there just an app or something that u can easliy add your recently installed apps to the default homescreen
Does anynone know what I'm talking about?

Pulling the apk, editing it etc etc is a pain. So? If not, I don't think it would be difficult for the "pro" members of this community.
Use a launcher from the market that allows changing icons
Thats better
And yes there is a small app that allows you to change the icon and name of any apk
will give the name when I get to my pc
Thanks. But the Launcher won't change the APP DRAWER's icons. Just the desktop's.

"THEMED". There is no option to replace them if I recall correctly.
I think bettercut lets you change the icons. You just download an icon pack and change it.

I believe the bettercut changes only the DESKTOP's icons. Not the drawer's.

true. what it does is actually creating shortcuts for apps and change icons of those shortcuts
i think i heard the new ADW EX 2.0+ will support changing app icons in app drawer, will likely just be a "placeholder/placebo" and orginal will be untouched.
Hey guys,
Is there an app that auto arranges the app drawer or a way to arrange the app drawer on my desktop somehow?
Thanks
I recommend https://market.android.com/details?id=com.abcOrganizer&hl=en been using it now ages and can access all my apps instantly after you arrange them in whatever order you want them to be in.
The main thing is that I really hate arranging apps in the normal app drawer... it takes forever. I'm looking for an fast and easy way to do it.

Which launcher do you use?
If you're using touchwiz you can try "AppZorter" in the market.
I'm using touchwiz. Just making sure I'm clear: I am looking to clean up the app drawer and not the screens.

If what you mean by clean up is to alphabetize and fill in the gaps found in the app drawer then the app I recommended earlier (AppZorter) will do the job for you.
Appzorter. Case closed.

YES!
Everything you're searching for is waiting inside the database (-files)
Just backup once you arranged your apps and simply restore after each firmware flash...

Another simplest way is Home screen -> Applications -> Menu -> List view.
It will arrange all ur apps view alphabetically.
