  • HIDING AND DISPLAYING APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20170068405
    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can receive a display list that describes software applications to install and/or represent on a user interface of the computing device. The display list can specify software applications that the computing device should automatically download and install. The display list can specify an order for presenting or arranging representations of the software applications on the user interface of the computing device. The computing device can determine which system applications to hide based on the absence of a system application in the display list. In some implementations, a computing device can receive a hide list that describes software applications to hide from view on the user interface of the computing device. The hide list can specify software applications that are installed on the computing device but that should not be presented or represented on the user interface of the computing device.
