App manager in the viewer

The viewer ships with an Apps panel that lists every app installed on the cloud phone along with each app's real icon, so you can manage them much faster than going through Android Settings → Apps.

Opening the Apps panel

How the app list shows up adapts to the height of the video area:

When the video is tall enough (≥ 640px): The Apps list is rendered inline inside the control panel, right under the Actions menu.
When the video is shorter: The control panel only shows an Apps header row with a > chevron — hover or click it to open the list as a popover next to the panel. If there isn't enough room on either side, the popover opens as a centered modal instead.

The Apps panel header has a refresh button (a ListRestart icon) on the right — click it to ask the cloud phone to resend the latest app list after you install or uninstall something from inside the phone.

Searching for apps

The Apps panel has its own search box at the top (placeholder "Search..."). Type an app name or package name to filter the list. The matcher is fuzzy and diacritics-aware — both "facebook" and "fb" match Facebook, so you don't need an exact spelling.

If nothing matches, the panel shows No results — double-check the spelling or confirm the app is actually installed.

While the viewer is waiting for the cloud phone to send the list for the first time, the panel shows a loading spinner. If the phone has no apps installed at all, the panel shows a faded LayoutGrid icon and the No results message.

Actions on each app

Each app row in the list behaves as follows:

Click the row directly — launches that app on the cloud phone, the same as tapping its icon on the home screen.
Hover the row — opens a context menu to the right with four options: Open, Force stop, Clear data, Uninstall.

Open

Launches that app on the cloud phone immediately.

Force stop

Kills the app's process instantly, equivalent to Force Stop in Android Settings → Apps. Use it when an app is frozen, stuck in a loop, or unresponsive.

If a stuck app locks up the whole screen, use Force stop from this panel instead of rebooting the phone — it is much faster and won't disturb the other apps that are still running.

Clear data

Wipes all cache, settings, and user data for that app, returning it to a freshly-installed state. Handy when you need to log out of an account but can't find a Logout button inside the app, or when you want to reset an app to its defaults.

Clear data cannot be undone. The logged-in account, history, and personal settings inside that app are gone for good. Only use this when you are sure you want that app reset.

Uninstall

Removes the app from the cloud phone entirely. Use it to free up storage or to swap in a different version.

Some system apps that ship pre-installed cannot be uninstalled. In those cases the Uninstall entry in the context menu has no effect (the cloud phone refuses the request) — this is Android's default behavior, not a viewer bug.
