Hidden apps?

---

Maybe I'm just slow but I've noticed a few apps built into this phone that are hidden from the Sense launcher but not when I use the AOSP gingerbread launcher. I've seen Fb Chat, Quick lookup, car mode, mirror, and I'm sure there are others. Does anyone know why these can't be accessed from the Sense launcher? It seems really weird to me haha.

You can access some apps like mirror and car panel if you hit the bottom right search button from any screen and type "mirror", for example. You can then tap on the app there. I believe facebook chat is only available as a widget...

Is there a list of these hidden apps or apps not seen by sense?

I don't know... Good question. It would be great if someone can post them here. I wonder what other goodies they are hiding.

Just do a search in your phone for 'Chat' and you find Fb Chat.

Fb Chat comes up. Open it.

Winning.

The only other one that I saw not mentioned was "SIM Toolkit." When I tried to run it, a message popped up, stating that "SIM Toolkit is not ready."

I have noticed that in both ADWLauncher EX and Launcher Pro Plus, you can put a kinda cool camcorder icon on your home screen but it doesn't show in Sense.

I'm still looking for the answer to this. I just hit search, type fb, and open it.

Then to go back into it, just pull down the notification bar, and tap it again when I need.

I don't even know how to make sure it stays in memory!

The Fb Chat widget put my phone into an infinite bootloop and I had to reset my phone. So I'm not using that thing again.

ya it would be nice to be able to use quick lookup and flashlight in my quicklaunch think on lockscreen
