hi,
im developing a aplication for symbian, only for 3rd edition. The aplication will use the Startup list management API for autoboot, and i want the user wasnt able to launch the app manually. Im searching for a way to hide my application from the menu of installed applications. In previous versions of the operating system i hadnt problems for doing this: i installed the application without name (.app only) or in a folder out of \system\apps\<myapp>\, for example, c:\system\data. In that way the app was not in the list. In Symbian 3rd im not able to do this. I cant install the app out of its private folder. I tried to install the app without name, and i was able to install it (files was copied and the installer didnt give me any error) but the app dont launch in any way. Do you know how i could perform this task? Thanks. |

l0rd,
I'm kinda a newbie, so I had two problems.
1. Where is that file located? On the phone or on the removabled disc (I always install apps on the disk. Also how do I open it?
2. Is that the correct name? It's not an .rsc file?
If so, I couldn't find an editor that would allow me to open the file. It might be because of the foreign language phone?
