Deleted apps still on settings menu - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i deleted nearby devices apk, and all allshare apks but i still get the allshare cast and nearby devices option in the more settings menu.
if i select them, they force close the settings menu because they are not installed, can't this apps be removed from the menu so i cant select them after i delete them?
The same happens for the stock and weather widgets, even if i delete them the option to select them on the lockscreen settings appear.
im on stock ICS rom

Anyone?

You also need to remove the .odex files of the same name

Folder problem

Can anybody tell me how to fix this annoying problem? I've created 3 folders in menu to separate my games, app and multimedia app from each other. Everytime i turn off my phone to charge it,when i turn it on all the icons from my 3 folders are out of them. They do not stay in treir folders! It' s really really annoying to sort them everytime. It's like my phone cannot remember this task.I have stock 2.3.5.

Two suggestions:
1. Go to Settings menu => Applications => Manage applications => All => TwLauncher => Clear data.
You may have to reboot your phone.
2. Use another launcher app, such as Nemus Launcher from the Market to organize your apps.
App folders are also possible.
Good luck !
I don't have twlauncher

We all have Twlauncher on stock rom... Have you looked in the 'ALL' tab in the manage application settings?
Sent from my GT-I9100
Yes,I've looked in All (it's between "downloaded" tab and "on sd card tab"). It's not there. Maybe that is my problem. Can I add it or something?
As i said I'm on stock(orange carrier) 2.3.5.

(Q) default phone/contacts

I was wanting to know the way to replace the system phone/contacts with rocketdial? I've tried this before,by deleting system phone and contacts thru TB but got tons of FCs.

you dont need to delete anything install app and then change phone and contact shortcuts icons in your home screen by the ones of the app
howver you can use system contacts if you want and after install the app if you go to a contact and press to make a call it will ask you wich dialer you want to use by definition you mark the box and choose app dialer and thats it...
i try it, before post sorry for my english but dont delete those apps from system the solution is right there.
just press thanks if i help you
Hi...
I am currently using Neko95 GingerSnap, and, since i tried MIUI, i loved the UI, i use ExDialer.
When i missed a call, the notification only disappear (automatic) if i open the stock app.
I Linked exdialer to ex partition of sd, rebooted and converted to sys app (Link2SD).
You still have the stock apps, but they are small...
The next thing that i will try, after consult the community if it works, is to, before flash, exchange the stock apps for the ones that i will use... (if someone that reads this can tell, please...)
With best regards, Shaib Lftg
Are you talking about extracting the rom than replace the phone and contacts apk with the dialer and contacts you plan on using ie...rocket dial and renaming it to phone.apk and vice versa

I don't like the idea of having multiple applications which have the same function on my phone... ie...
Stock browser-dolphin browser, stock mms-go SMS pro..you get the picture...

Hide files in android

Hello guys. I was nokia user since 6 years & I'm new on android. I just want to take information there are many file managers which have attribute option to modified any file.... i.e to hide files simply on their original path whatever the files stored anywhere but in android, there are also many file browser but these don't have attribute option to hide, mean there is only every separate application to hide files. It does not matter but the issue is that these applications hide the applications as well as it also moves the the files from its original path which i don't like. Can any kind man tell me the any file browser with attribute option to hide files or any hide application without moving the files. Thanx a lot for reading & suggestions.
Use root explorer...to hide a file in android simply put a (.) Before the file name..without the brackets..itll hide itself without changing its location but in root explorer ull havta go into the preference and uncheck show hidden files also!

if you're using touchwiz launcher if you press menu there is a 'hide applications' option where you choose which ones you'd like to hide from the app drawer (if that's what you're talking about - not sure when you say hide 'files')

Hide files, make them invisible from a normal directory listing. The answer is correctly given above.

Same issue here, very annoying.
Same issue here. Tried re installing facebook and that did not help.
Out of curiosity, does the issue go away if you follow the steps below?
Navigate to Settings > Application manager
Swipe until you are on the "All" tab.
Scroll down until you see "SNS", then tap on it.
Disable the app.
Try removing your account from within settings.
Delete Facebook's cache and data (allocation manager).
Reboot device
Sign in.

Has anyone else noticed that swipe to DELETE is gone? Or am I having a brain fart and can't find swipe to delete? Or to get the delete option in the notification area?
I'm was able to swipe to delete

Is the swipe to delete something you've always had to set? I've always had swipe to archive without realizing you could change it.

The version listed in this thread - 4.5. Are you running 4.5? In the previous version I definitely had this option, but not in 4.5.

you only get the swipe to delete option if the "Archive and Delete" options is set to "show delete only"
