    The hidden app function on oxygen 12 is so bad and useless that i cannot begin to describe it. Now you cannot switch between the hidden apps. If you have two hidden apps running you cannot switch between them every time you try to switch or you minimize the app, you have to start from begining by dialing your code again to start the app.
