In Launcher Pro (or any other launcher with a 3D App Drawer that doesn't suck), can apps be hidden? I don't mean apps like bloatware apps, I mean apps that I don't want others to see. Can they be hidden?
GO Launcher EX can do it. It's free and my preferred launcher app, but some people don't like it.
Background:
Ok so...all because I wanted stupid Honeycomb theme (worth it BTW...well more-less worth it)
I backed up my homescreens (only the data, because im dumb and didn't do data+apk)
I used ADW Launcher EX as my launcher....so it backed up that data
The launcher built into Typhoons rom just so happened to be EX Launcher...(NO EX)
Main
I restored my data without having EX installed....:-( now im having issues
Firstly for some reason I didn't have market so I downloaded market, and downloaded the new market and reinstalled ADW Launcher EX
Now when I press home screen it asks which to do the task, either Launcher or Launcher EX
Launcher: Has none of my homescreens right (of course because backup is for EX)
Launcher EX: Has
Now I could just use EX which has my homescreens pretty much right and just reinstall my APKs and it would replace the default icons
Now if I use (and restart)
Launcher: It has no dock icons, (so..pretty less-than functional)
Launcher EX: Has dock icons and such...just some "problem loading widget" but thats solved by reinstalling apps from marketplace)
Now I would love to just use Launcher EX, but 2 issues....Whenever I restart the analog clock thats installed with the rom shows "problem loading widget" each time
I have to long press delete and re-place it
Also do you think the other ADW Launcher is effecting the EX version?
Did I mess something up by restoring backup, which had ADW Launcher EX
Is there a way I can uninstall ADW Launcher manually..and reinstall ADW Launcher EX and it be the sole, and maybe it will do right?
I hope I explained....well I think I may have confusingly over explained?
What should be my next action?
Reinstall the rom and start from scratch?....then what steps do I take this time to not get to this same point? (apparently something had to be wrong, because market was not installed for some reason)
figure it out....think thats my best advice ATM
Is this even possible?
I have read a wiki from adw but there is no such info there
the stuff that I want to do is that I dont want to have any desktop, when I press back I want to see the app launcher with all of its apps and when I unlock the phone I dont want to see the wallpaper/desktop I just want to have the app list
I know there are orhter launchers that can do so, but Is this possible with adw launcher?
ty
It isn't possible with ADW or ADW EX
You can install a launcher that offers this feature and delete ADW with an app like titanium
But i guess Miui would be better for you
Does anyone know how I can hide unused apps in the app drawer on marshmallow like I can in lollipop?
Nova Launcher
Could change your home launcher to Nova Launcher from the Google Play Store.IT gives you the option to hide in the nova settings. Home launcher has way more customization than stock launcher. I prefer the pro version which gives me the option to use the gestures for certain apps. Click thanks if this helps!!
Hello.
Is there any way i can remove the google search bar from the home screen of the yotaphone 2 without root and with stock launcher ? (any to "simply" uninstall it)
Thanks
I'd like also and don't want to root. I used Novalaucher to remove google search, but there were problems. Many things had disappeared! So, I came back to Google launcher
I'd also like to know if this is possible. I'd rather not have it on my home screen.
I also hate it. Maybe installing some other different launcher?
There's an option in nova launcher for this but I haven't tried it on the yota. It works on every other device I've tried though.

I've installed Nova launcher, removed the google bar and changed the menu color to AMOLED-friendly black. No issues by now

Things did not disappeared, when you change launcher, and Nova Launcher is a Launcher, all the widgets and so on are removed from the screens, you have to activate your widgets on the new launcher, you apps and widgets are still there, you just have to configure them on the new Launcher.
Nova Launcher is actually one of the best launchers, you can actually make a backup of your widgets and icons arrangements with it, Arrow launcher is also very interesting.
Keep in mind, when you change launcher you widgets locations icons, etc are reseted, so if you want to try a new launcher, you have to backup the launcher settings, Nova Launcher and Arrow Launcher has a backup function built in, Google Now launcher does not, you can use Titanium BackUp Manager to make a backup of any app and it's settings, including Google Now Launcher, but for that you would need Root.
