Help [SOLVED] How to add icon/shortcut for embedded app?

I've deduced that there must be an analog of *nix's command line arguments
You are correct. It's using the am command in adb shell. Looks something like this..
Code:
adb shell am start -n com.package.name/com.package.name.ActivityName

I wreckon there's probably an app that lets you launch custom commands to launch your apps or hidden components.

Can also be thrown into a script.

In fact, although I now have access to SE Text Editor, I can't actually -do- anything with it. It opens, has a drop-down menu for font settings, but no way to start typing. There's a back arrow in the top left corner, which just minimizes the app. Oh, when I first open it, there's a brief error message: "Uri data is null!" Thoughts?
Hmmm this one kind of hard to explain as it's app developer jargon, but I'll try.

Activities are like each of the different screens in an app. Every activity must be declared in the AndroidManifest.xml(manifest) within the app. The activities feature simply lists them all from the manifest for you to choose from.

The catch is that some activities are not meant to be screens for the user to view directly and therefore can make the feature hit or miss.

I'm partial to glassy transparent looks.
Me too! :D

What is com.samsung.android.app.telephonyui

It's a pre-installed user interface, part of the operating system, so nothing she should be concerned about (I'm assuming that you are checking this with her knowledge and consent and asking on her behalf).

The name "telephony UI" implies that it's the equivalent of what's called "in call UI" on most Android devices (Samsung do like to rename things), but not having a Samsung phone I can't be sure that it isn't connected to the dialer instead/as well - if it were then checking the call log or similar could also activate it. Incoming calls would activate it too (including those that disconnect immediately, which I had a spate of the other year - I assumed some scam or other and ignored them).

It's not obvious that there should be other triggers, but you might have to ask Samsung to get a definitive answer (if they would answer at all). I can't test how the equivalent in my phone behaves because for privacy reasons I have all of that Google activity logging turned off.

Help iTunes Equivalent for Android Devices?

Needs to be noted that Apple recently announced it will be killing off iTunes as it's own multi-function service and just let all its features just move into their own discrete ones.

As for Google Music, it sounds like your audio library was still in the stages of being uploaded. Confirm that's all done and then see if the app is still taxing your phone's resources so much.

Adapter for Samsung Galaxy Note 10+

You might consider an inductive charging plate. (wireless charging) You can then charge your new phone and use the oem usb connection for your earphones. Another work-a-round would be to stream your audio BT as you are charging via the usb port. Easy solutions. I don't know of a charging cable that has the headphone adapter that will work simultaneously though it may exist.

We are discussing the Note 10 and 10+ here if you'd like to join us. https://androidforums.com/devices/samsung-galaxy-note-10.16515/
