Post small report

Hi there,
first of all thank you so much for your work Morkl - this Homescreen package is awesome!

I've testet it since few days now on my rooted PRS-T1 (with the new 1.0.04.12210 Firmware) and everything works great (well... I've bricked my device a few times, but was always my own fault ).


For everyone searching (I did so, but wasn't able to find some) here are a couple of customApps-Settings (package, class, intentCategory):
  1. Google Mail App
    • com.google.android.gm
    • com.google.android.gm.ConversationListActivity
    • android.intent.action.MAIN
  2. Google Calendar App
    • com.android.calendar
    • com.android.calendar.LaunchActivity
    • android.intent.action.MAIN
  3. Google Market App
    • com.android.vending
    • com.android.vending.AssetBrowserActivity
    • android.intent.action.MAIN
  4. Google Drive App
    • com.google.android.apps.docs
    • com.google.android.apps.docs.app.NewMainProxyActiv ity
    • android.intent.category.LAUNCHER
  5. WikiDroyd App
    • com.osa.android.wikidroyd
    • com.osa.android.wikidroyd.ui.activity.WikiDroyd
    • android.intent.action.MAIN
Icons can be found in attachement.


After I've redesigned my second homescreen with this few custom apps, I wantet to modify the third. My problem with this homescreen was that some, imho important, systemapps weren't shown there. For example the google calendar app or the android system settings.
So I go to the homemod.xml and deleted the <launcherIgnoreExpressions>. Checking the result was, unfortunately just as I thought, realy disappointing. MANY useless apps (but the calendar app ) were shown now.

(At this point I realized that the apps be "cut" at the end of the screen. Would it be possible to create automatically a fourth homescreen to show the other apps? (Never knowing how much apps someone may have ))


My solution for this was to go to the system path looking for all needless apps and declare these one in the <launcherIgnoreExpressions>.
Now it looks like:
Code:
<launcherIgnoreExpressions>
	<!-- Regular expressions that match applications by path to hide in the app drawer -->
	<!--<item>/system.*</item>-->
	<item>/system/app/AccountAndSyncSettings.*</item>
	<item>/system/app/ApplicationsProvider.*</item>
	<item>/system/app/Bluetooth.*</item>
	<item>/system/app/CalendarProvider.*</item>
	<item>/system/app/CertInstaller.*</item>
	<item>/system/app/ContactsProvider.*</item>

	<item>/system/app/Protips.*</item>
	<item>/system/app/Provision.*</item>
	<item>/system/app/QuickSearchBox.*</item>
	<item>/system/app/SettingsProvider.*</item>
	<item>/system/app/TelephonyProvider.*</item>
	<item>/system/app/TtsService.*</item>
	<item>/system/app/UserDictionaryProvider.*</item>
	<item>/system/app/VisualizationWallpapers.*</item>
	<item>/system/app/VpnServices.*</item>
	<item>/system/app/WPSSettings.*</item>
</launcherIgnoreExpressions>
Hoping, could help someone with those information!
