latest fenix firmwares : widget & datafield moved to garmin/apps/media folder ?

Unhide it?

solved

I'm pretty sure you can't unhide it - the DRM stuff for media.

If you've not tried it, can you delete the apps using Garmin Express?  Sounds like you're just trying to use the file system with sideloads,

Like I said, I think it's related to DRM (Digital Rights Management).  That's why they are hidden in a media folder.

What CIQ monetize project?  Garmin has had a long standing position that they will not be involved in charging for apps.  It's up to the individual devs.

What you're seeing is likely that Garmin expects users to use things like GE, GCM and the Connect IQ app to uninstall things.  You can't even access an MTP drive from a mac without some extra software.

Things changed back when MTP devices first same out.  Hiding stuff started with the first music app on music devices.

The change that Garmin talked about at the developer conference involving monitorization  would be that apps that aren't fully functional without a payment will have an indication of that in the webstore.
