Apps
You’ll see three tabs at the top of the screen, each displaying a list of apps or
their components:
Downloaded -
Displays apps you’ve downloaded on Google Play or other
sources.
Running - Displays all apps, processes, and services that are currently
running or that have cached processes, and how much RAM they are using.
All -
Displays all apps that came with the Sero 8 and all apps you
downloaded from Google Play or other sources.
To switch the order of the lists displayed in the Downloaded or All tabs, tap
Menu icon > Sort by name or Sort by size .
To view details about an app or other item listed under any tab, tap its name.
The information and controls available vary among different types of apps, but
commonly include:
Force stop button -
Stops an app that is misbehaving. Stopping an app,
process, or service may cause your Sero 8 to stop working correctly. You
may need to restart Sero 8 after doing this.
Uninstall button - Deletes the app and all of its data and settings.
Disable button -
Prevents the app from running, but does not uninstall it.
This option is available for some apps and services that can’t be uninstalled.
Clear data button - Delete an app’s settings and other data without
removing the app itself.
Clear cache - If the app stores data in a temporary area of the Sero 8’s
memory, lists how much information is stored, and includes a button for
clearing it.
Clear defaults -
If you have configured an app to launch certain file types by
default, you can clear that setting here.
Permissions - Lists the kinds of information about your Sero 8 and data the
app has access to.
