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".
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.

How did i miss this?! Google Instant is now an option in labs!
Also, have we always been able to change the search from Google to Yahoo or Bing? Because there's an option now.
Yeah. The little market fixes are nice, but you still can't comment on or grade apps.
I noticed in settings under Accessibility there is a new setting for longpress action response time.

This isn't a 3.1 update - I have the priority icons already on my stock UK XOOM. You need to enable the functionality in your gmail account. They're even present on my stock 2.3.4 (gingerbread) nexus one.

I was able to use a Logitech BT KB even before the update.
EDIT: One thing that did change though after the update is the trackpad (mouse) on my Logitech KB now works. Very Cool!
anyway to change the browser to desktop mode now?
There are now upload and download indicator arrows over the Wifi icon in the notification area.

thanks, added this to the first post
Did this update include the widevine and HDCP that were going to be included in the pulled 4/28/11 update?
I would assume so for the Google Videos. I was able to watch in 720p over HDMI no problem. Escpecially since Google Videos don't work if you are rooted.
sorry but what is Google instant?
Also can anyone tell me where the movie rental app would be? Checked the market and its not there...
Thanks!
You can pin picasa albums in 3.0. One of my favorite HC features.

I've noticed quick controls for the web browser ??
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.
I have this icon on my Nexus 6P desktop appear recently. It links to the Google Now weather card. I do not remember how I got this icon on my desktop. It doesn't appear in the app drawer, so it is not an app, just a shortcut to the card. Does anyone else have this icon and know how they got it?
I noticed this icon just appeared on my Galaxy S7 desktop today, I think... exactly the same thing... have no idea how it appeared on my desktop. It seems that Google is pushing it to some devices or something??... some kind of test perhaps?
