If you don't have rootsh, and you locked "app manager", then that's slightly more difficult. I'm not currently aware how you'd launch app manager from the command line...

(Just tried it. Just type "hildon-application-manager" in X-Terminal, and it should launch the app manager. This way you can install rootsh if you don't already have it, and from there lets you edit the files to unhide your apps again.)

i have no knowledge in any of this but somehow i managed to install rootsh.. can you please give me the list of commands that i need to use to unhide apps?

fyi my issue is - i just installed applocker but i locked all the necessary apps including applocker.. ) HELP!!!!

hahahaha :) im so happy... i just happened to unlock applocker..

Heres how:

1.) simply follow what Mentalist Traceur said... but since i had problems on not being a root user..
2.) I again followed Mentalist Traceur on adding rootsh in my apps
3.) i opened X terminal again, typed "root", then followed step 1... voila! :) Thanks a lot!
