Apple hidden apps...

[CynicalDriver]

I'm not sure how it happened, but this morning I used my phone for a call, then minimized "phone" and noticed there were three new app icons...

"Field Test", and two others that I do not know what they are. I got stupid and opened field tester rather than taking a screen shot.

I have googled, and searched here (to find countless theme threads) but the furthest I get is a list of "hidden" features. Features that almost everyone knows about already.

What are these hidden apps (I know what "Field Test" is, you can activate that with a call-code from the phone app.

What are the other two?
What do they do?
If useful, how do we unhide them?

Thanks to anyone who helps.

Here's a screen of "Field Test" open in the multi-task bar.

This happens once in a few, just a springboard crash really , especially if u have anything that messes with mobile substrate. A respiring will take care of that

And what the app looks like when it's open.

Yeah. The icons re-hid as soon as I minimized Field Test. So I was just wondering... Can we "unhide" them permanently?

Well they Re already hidden, it's just that when the board crashes they reappear

Bump. Anyone know how to make these show up 24/7? I'd like to be able to see them...

I was on 4.1 JB-GP un-tethered.
Now on 4.2.1 JB-GP un-tethered, if that affects things.

I know this thread is a little old, but off the top of my head two of the other "hidden" apps are AdSheet and iOSdiagnostics. The only way I know to add these is to use SBSettings. You can add these hidden apps to the SBSettings dock. But these have absolutely no use for 99% (or more) of users.
