Show hidden applications in Blackberry home screen

If you (or your seven year old) have hidden applications on your Blackberry, it is simple to view them again.


From the home screen, press the alt key (crescent moon) and press the scroll wheel. In the menu that pops up, select Show All and click the scroll wheel. Applications that are hidden are now visible and have an X through them.

To make hidden applications invisible again, repeat the process above.

    Doesn’t work for me too. Have even tried Resetting the Theme, none of them worked. I can’t find the apps that I have had downloaded even in the DOWNLOADS folder. Have tried looking for answers in every forum but there’s no fix. Whew. Now my problem is I can’t see my BBM!

    on the curve 9300, clicking the menu (blackberry key) anywhere on the home screen brings up the show all option. Hidden icons appear greyed out until you cursor over them and click menu again to toggle “hide” on or off.

    Go into your application list and hit menu>Show All. Then highlight the missing icon and hit Menu> (and uncheck Hide Icon)

    Good Luck!
