So I used to use lockdown pro to lock certain apps because I hated using a pass code on the entire phone. The good thing about lockdown pro was that it could also hide any and all apps from the springboard and I like hiding ALL of my apps including phone, camera, etc.
Now that I have a 5s, using touchID is convenient and I'm not worried about using a separate tweak to lock apps really, but I'd still like to hide all of the apps. I came across these lines you can add to the info.plist in application folders to hide apps.
<key>SBAppTags</key>
<array>
<string>hidden</string>
</array>
It works wonderfully for all App Store apps and most stock apps except for ones like phone, camera, contacts, FaceTime, compass, settings and the iTunes Store.
There is another plist in these app folders called ResourceRules and they are the only apps with this plist. I think it has something to do with not being able to hide the app. I input the text into the info.plist and save, when I go back to look and search for it, it was never saved.
Just wondering if anyone with a little more knowledge in all this stuff can help figure out how to hide the rest of these stock apps using these few lines through ifile? It would be great if I could hide all of my apps this way instead of having to download another tweak. The point is I'm trying to get rid or them!
Sorry for the long write up, but it took a bit to explain this lol
