Question [Q] How to access "hidden" programs ?

Hi there,

Couple of weeks ago I was "cleaning" up the program short-cut list simply by dragging thyem up right and removing them from the list. Why ? Dont even ask, I dony know myself. But it would not be a problem, besides the fact that I now dont know how to get them back into the list.

So basically, if I now got a blank page and want some shortcuts put on that page, I dont access the programs I earlier "removed" from the list. Yes they are there, but I cant get hold of them.

In settings, there is a list of all programs, both installed and running. But that list as far as I can see is only to use if you want something uninstalled.

Does anybody even know what I try to explain, or is this not making any sence .. hehe.
There is hopefully a few others having experienced this and can explain how I reverse the process.

Thx in advance !

From what I gather you are reying to show hidden icons in your apps drawer?

If so in your apps drawer use menu button to open up menu and choose unhide icons.

Hi there,

Thx for replying. U are quite right regarding my problem, and you even explainef it in one sentence ... Not bad

Problem is in my menubar I get the option to hide, but not to unhide .
Makes me curious though, if you know of this possibilety and I cant find it on my phone.

Infact I managed to "find" the programs yesterday through the widget "favourite programs"
There one can edit programs showing, and in that case I got to choose from all the programs.

Thx again .. but still not quite there

You got to love xda

When you choose menu perhaps scroll down to see the option unhide ?
