The easiest way to do this is to have Internalz Pro from Jason Robitaille (available in Preware or webOS Quick Install) installed on your device and follow the following steps
- On your device, open Internalz Pro
- Swipe down from the top-left corner to bring down the Internalz Pro Application dropdown menu and select "Preferences"
- Scroll to the bottom of Preferences and ensure that "Master mode" is turned on. If you need to turn it on, be sure to select "YES" to the warning prompt.
- On phones you need to back-swipe or on the TouchPad you need to swipe down from the top-left corner to bring down the Internalz Pro Application dropdown menu and select "Close" to return to Internalz Pro
- Locate the directory for the app that you wish to hide.
- Some system apps like Phone, Email, PDF Viewer are usually in the /usr/palm/applications folder, while installed apps are in /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/.
- However, with the latest webOS 3.0.5 update for the TouchPad, many of those stock system apps may also be found in /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/
- Open the app folder and find the appinfo.json file. Tap on the file and select "Open"
- Find the line of text that starts with "icon" (it will look like "icon":"icon.png").
- Insert a new line below that and type in:
- "visible": false,
- Of course, if there is already a "visible" line with "true" you can just change the "true" to "false"
- Be sure that you have that comma at the end of the line!
- Access the Internalz Pro preferences again and turn off Master Mode
- After the next time you reboot your phone or TouchPad, the app will no longer appear on your App Launcher but will still be installed on your device

Sarawak Plantation to register pre-tax profit of RM100 million The Borneo Post Hamden attributed the good growth in profit to the good price of crude palm oil and palm kernel last year. “We anticipate the crude oil palm (CPO) price to sustain around RM3,000 to RM3,200 per metric tonne this year,” he added. |

Former Palm CEO and Palm Global Business Unit head Jon Rubinstein has left HP effective today, according to a new report from AllThingsD. Rubinstein joined HP as part of the company's purchase of Palm, leading the Palm Global Business Unit as in the lead-up to the TouchPad launch. He was then shifted into a "SVP of Product Innovation" role within the HP Personal Systems Group, a position that we expected was a sort of ease-out job for Rubinstein.
Rubinstein joined Palm in 2007 as Chairman and led the development of webOS and the Palm Pre, which launched in 2009. Soon after he took over as CEO from Palm veteran Ed Colligan. In 2011 HP announced their plans to purchase Palm, bringing Rubinstein into the HP organization in the process.
Then not that long ago HP pulled the plug on webOS device hardware. We can imagine it was a devastating blow for Rubinstein, who had invested years of his work into building the platform. According to AllThingsD, Rubinstein hadn't been seen at HP or Palm since the decision had been made. Can't say we're surprised - we'd be pretty disenchanted if that happened to us too.
We've reached out to HP for comment on the matter, but in the meantime we'll say this: Jon, we'll miss you. You've had a substantial impact on the mobile space for many years, one that will be felt for some time to come. We don't know where you're going from here, but if we had to guess, it'd be to that hammock that Colligan dragged you out of back in 2007. Hope we'll see you around!
Update: We just heard back from HP on Rubinstein's departure, here's their official comment on the matter: "Jon Rubinstein has fulfilled his commitment to HP; we wish him well." We've also heard that HP is not aware of any plans that Rubinstein has to go to another company (or start a new one with Open webOS - wouldn't that be delicious?), so we'd guess that the hammock, pitcher of margaritas, and Mexican beach sand are definitely in Jon's future.
